Dance the Landler !



The Sound of Music Landler

Despite the title, this dance is not a true Austrian Landler. It is really a collection of steps from many Austrian Folk dances that have been strung together by the choreographers of the Sound of Music. This makes the dance more interesting and more challenging to perform, especially if there are a number of couples performing it together.

The music has been divided into 8 themes which have been Uploaded separately for practice purposes. Use the written instructions for each theme and learn from the performers. Then dance the entire sequence using the uploads entitled Landler Once or Twice.

Matrix - 20 Questions



The Matrix is one of the most talked about movies of recent time and many viewers have perceived it as a metaphor of real life.

The film portrays a future in which the world has been taken over by computers that cultivate human minds as computing assets. People are unaware of their true slavery because they are programmed to experience a virtual reality in which they believe they are living a normal life- -even a life of liberty. In truth, they are wired up to a computer Matrix which does not reveal its mastery over them.
The story centers on a small band of humans who have avoided the Matrix and who are attempting to help others break free. The first step is to persuade them that their human responsibility is to be free. The second step is more difficult because freedom has a cost and there is a price to pay to achieve it. Choosing the Red Pill or the Blue Pill will either bring one into reality or put them back to sleep .

The parallels to modern life are obvious. There are forces and agendas behind the scenes that are not acknowledged by our leaders and media gatekeepers. To understand everything is to rewrite history. There isn’t enough time nor energy to undo all the programming we have endured. We need a short cut !

On September 11th 2001, those that run the world’s real life Matrix overstepped the mark and gave us the shortcut. In the days and months subsequent, they offered the world an explanation for the tragic event that simply does not add up.
I have attempted to precis some facts into a Questionnaire that if answered fairly and honestly will permit you to clearly see the evidence of the Matrix in which we live. Compelling evidence contradictory to the official explanation has been out there for over 12 years, and yet the establishment press and the White House insist that the world must "Go On" without reasonable explanation for the questions raised.

When you attempt this questionnaire, you may find it a challenge. Your education, your job, your pride in North American ideals for a “free society” have shaped your “world view” and that factor may make you uncomfortable with the questions and the conclusions they imply. Psychologists have a technical term for these feelings. It is called “cognitive dissidence“ and overcoming it is only achieved by allowing your world view to be modified slowly and deliberately with properly marshaled empirical evidence.

In my case, my military flying experience in the Washington New York corridor, was the empirical evidence I needed. No explanations for off course airliners could be accepted in that critically defended airspace without something radically wrong at the top of the military command structure. For me, no adequate explanation has ever been made so all subsequent official explanations for "Who did it and How" are therefore suspect until a full and impartial public enquiry is held.

Now, if you have read this far, there is no turning back. You too need a measure of empirical evidence in order to see a NEW enquiry as the means of bringing closure.
The questions may help you.

1. Where does the most powerful man on earth live?
The Pentagon. 10 Downing Street, Washington D.C., the Kremlin

2. Considering what you know about American foreign policy, do you think there are those in the world who would wish the demise of the US president by any means possible ?
Yes or No

3. On the morning of September 11, 2001, 4 airliners, with obvious mal-intent, flew off course and out of control, within striking distance of the White House, and no military jet interceptors interfered?
Is this reasonable?
Yes or No

4. …. And since the president is Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, is it not highly unusual that there were no court martials or demotions among the responsible officers for dereliction of duty?
Yes or No

5. Do you know that a box cutter knife is the only weapon the alleged hijackers had when they successfully overpowered the crews and passengers of 4 airliners ?
Yes or No

6. Two airliners carrying lots of jet fuel, crashed into two WTC buildings and yet by the end of the day, three buildings fell. North and South towers in the morning and Building 7 in the afternoon. If airliners were the cause, is there a reasonable explanation how the impact of two airliners got three buildings to fall in precisely the same manner?
Yes or No

7. After the collapse of North and South towers, the immediate area was covered in concrete dust. Assuming the steel structure of each floor was fragile enough to collapse under the impact of the floor above, do you think that breakage due to weight would fill the air for blocks around with fine concrete dust ?
Yes or No

8. All three buildings fell smoothly almost at the speed of gravity? In your experience with material things (plastics, metal, cloth), do they fail instantly or does the weakest area fail first ?
Instantly or Gradually ?

9. In your opinion then, if all three buildings fell at the speed of gravity, should the 911 Commission have looked beyond local fires for another cause?
Yes or No

10. Did you know that significant quantities of nano thermite, a restricted military explosive, were found in the wreckage of the North and South Tower, and that it has heat retention properties which made it impossible for Firefighters to work there for days ?
Yes or No

11. Would you expect that there is any legitimate reason for a highly classified military grade explosive to be stored in a public building ?
Yes or No

12. Could this material, known for its low flash and low noise properties, placed throughout the columns of the building, and ignited at precise intervals be the means to bring all three buildings down in the same manner ?
Yes or No

13. How long do you think it takes to rig a 58 story building the size of WTC 7 for demolition?
6 hours/ 2 weeks/ 1 month / 3 months

14. Would you agree that the owner’s instructions (Larry Silverstein) to “Pull it” indicate that the building WTC 7 was already rigged for destruction on command ?
Yes or No

15. What about the speed of the rubble removal ? Is it not unusual given the speed of bureaucracy, that barges were on the scene within 24 hours to begin taking the debris ( the forensic evidence) away from the United States?
Yes or No

16. Do you think that an agency (the 911 Commission) called together by government would produce a report that would condemn its sponsor (the government) if they found them implicated?
Yes or No

17. How loyal are Americans? Are they not raised from an early age to swear allegiance to their flag?
Yes or No

18. Do you think that American patriotism helps or hinders Americans to identify right and wrong in their society ?
Helps / Hinders

19. Do you believe that identifying wrongdoing within government is unpatriotic or patriotic ?
Why ?

20. What do you think now : Publicly Reopen the 911 Commission with a NEW and totally Impartial Process ?
Or……
Go on to a future that continues to be negatively shaped by this event ?

REOPEN/ GO ON
