Truth Slayers and Sayers
Ever wonder if the sudden blip coverage of high profile 9/11 doubters is part of the overall game? Something to occupy the public while the empire marches on. Or, per Thomas Jefferson's term, as the "empire of liberty" marches on.
After reading Max Boot and Thomas Donnelly (principal author PNAC Rebuilding America's Defenses) I do believe US Empire is on track. Boot states : "America should not be afraid to fight the savage wars of peace if necessary to enlarge the empire of liberty. It has been done before." Boot goes on to detail the histories of US wars large and small and savage.
In earlier times killing for empire was acceptable but then the masses sprouted an unruly conscience (grown from centuries of history's dung no doubt). In the last century that conscience pestered the ruling elite, but the elite held the methods and means of containment. Information.
Communications and living standards exposed most Americans to information – here comes TV and news marketing. The success of the JFK assassination gave the ruling elite an A+ in "truth mangement." Add to the most trusted names in news the experts from numerous front foundations and NGOs to assure the public their information is unbiased, fair and balanced, analyzed by people who will keep TPTB honest and in check. Enter the experts, bureaucrats, and media heroes. The guardians of truth.
We may be too young to personally remember that radio once held the masses captive – so much so that Orson Wells convinced and panicked a region with "play news" of Martians landing in the US. Of course today we the people are much too savvy and smart to fall for something like that (right?). And the Wells drama was not a serious or staged attempt to fool the listeners (so Wells claimed). Imagine the uses powerful people, with serious agendas, could do with controlled communications.
Ever wonder why nearly 5 years after 9/11 all these honorable experts are coming forward? There may have been little time to voice doubts between the 9/11/01 attack on the US and the US 10/7/01 attack on Afghanistan, but where was the doubt before the US launched a wider war in Iraq on 03/19/03? Where were the johnny-come-doubting-911 during those 18 months before the US intitated another war? Why was there a delayed 9/11 truth epiphany in the "reliable people" community until after Operation Oil began?
Not given air time you say? These are high level officials, professors, experts, scholars, celebrities, physicists, engineers, ex-CIA and military, with a wide assortment of contacts available to them, many with their own organizations and foundations as a platform to speak from. A blog from these guys presenting inconsistency and government complicity would have spread quickly online, and possibly stopped another war, saved lives. How many of these reliable experts (Alex Jones doesn't count) were personally blogging the 9/11 truth before March 2003 or even blogging in 2004?
Was it the "orgy of patriotism" that kept voices still? Thousands dead and trillions stolen, and these qualified folks (apparently unfamiliar with Reichstag methods), now carry the torch of truth? Tell me why that evil neoncon cabal lost control over the official version of 9/11 as they were doing so well with it for 5 years. Have they lost control?
Is it so hard to believe that the "cabal" which pulled off 9/11 and muzzled the media for 5 years can and does control what the masses focus on? Why do they direct our focus to 9/11 now? How big do you really think the audience is for 9/11 truth?
The alternative press has been around as long as any media, and McNews has always highlighted the "conspiracy theories" although solely for entertainment value. Remember the worldwide coverage of Jim Garrison's JFK trial. In the end it only sealed the official story tighter. It did not harm Garrison, appeased nonbelievers for years, and was filed in the history bin. Dozens of expert authors built mini-empires on JFK theories, many wrote 7 or 8 books over the years on nothing but JFK's assassination. We still revisit the JFK official story and theories, but harmlessly, like tourists strolling through a museum of artifacts. Was it Russia, Cuba, the mafia, CIA, Oswald, right-wing radicals in Louisiana swamps, the Bush Family, Zionists, Republicans. We know at least a few old men around the country know the truth of JFK – and none will ever tell.
The US government will never be exposed as the perpetrators who blew off a sitting president's head in broad daylight at high noon, or of killing 3000 New Yorkers. But like battered spouses the victims (we the people) believe the abusers love them and won't do it again, until the next time and the next time and the next time. It's a syndrome - Americans themselves coverup so no one knows how abusive this marriage really is between the weak and the powerful. And lordy there is so much money to be made giving support and counsel to those who do know better.
But do keep seeking truth and opening investigations into 9/11. I personally have no desire to focus on that aspect of the game. I'm here just to rant and ask questions - and judging by the responses – to piss off both sides of the aisle.
And if, some snowball has a chance in hell, and Bush, Cheney, and the echelon do a perp walk, do be ready for worldwide restitution and a new government. Keep in mind, the Bolsheviks didn't do so well. And oh yes, ask the new guv to release all truth from the last century so we can be sure their hands and connections are clean.

Kate,
I can't say I've read every blog entry that you've written, especially recently, when yes, you have made my face grew red with rage.
This entry feels different. I don't see the mocking attitude. I see questions being asked in a way that promotes thought rather than a foregone conclusion.
I have plenty to say about the topics / questions you raise. For now, let me just say thanks for being more reasonable.
typo alert:
in the previous comment, I meant of course:
grow red with rage.

Thanks. Forgive my days of mocking belligerence.
I try to be reasonable - but some days it is really really difficult.
Hi Kate,
I agree. And from all that I've seen, read, experienced, everything's a goddamned, well orchestrated, well greased systemic conspiracy (of keeping us controlled, indebted to, dependent on, and enslaved to the ruling bastards). Has been this way throughout most, if not all of history.
I'm a dreamer (idealist), but I'm practical as hell too (realist), as I also have to survive and try to flourish on this f-up planet. But, I know for a fact that it does not have to be the way that it is.
However since we've (collectively) long surrendered our powers (minds, bodies, energies...) to the insatiable, cruel masters, and since every day in countless ways, others surrender even more, even when they don't have to; well those are the things that perpetuate our miseries, and determine our fates, to a large degree, here on earth.
Christ we only have to look at ongoing events, we don't even have to delve into history to know that the bastards will not be held accountable; short of a token scapegoat now and then. All the rest is bread, blood and circuses.
I've long withdrawn from participating in the pig-fest capitalist system as much as I can. Your suggestions are dead on btw.
Also, you said, "Forgive my days of mocking belligerence.
I try to be reasonable - but some days it is really really difficult."
Well lady, it was really decent of you to apologize and explain, but imo you don't need to. Your honesty, compassion and integrity are evident, at least to me they are. And like all of us, you're entitled to your feelings and opinions, all of them. Furthermore, compared to me for example, you've got a whole lot more invested in all these conflicts, specifically your (adult) children.
Bless you lady, and thanks for saying many of the things that really need to be said. If only high-profile, influential or powerful people had half your brains, wit, courage, and tenacity, then we could be much further ahead, and far less divided.
Thanks for all that you do. It's much appreciated. Take care.
Peace, comfort and joy to you and yours, annemarie
p.s. My son got me 'The Velveteen Rabbit' for my recent birthday. You're right, it is a treasure :)
BG, I should have added that my comments are in no way intended to be an admonishment or criticism of yours; though I can see that they could be construed that way. You strike me as reasonable, for the record. But, since this is a multi-level conversation, I wanted to add my comments.
Peace All, annemarie
amj,
thanks. you made my day.
[rubbing cheek] Thanks. I needed that.

from NEITHER side of the aisle, having got religion and left The Church some years ago.
Kate,
I have 20 minutes, I think, and I wanted to follow up with specifics I promised.
I've been looking at 9/11 so long, and so hard that I have trouble backing up and talking about it from a more generic, man on the street, view.
Let me ask you this? Do you read Newsmax.com much? Do you receive email, either from so-called right wingers or left wingers, who are paid to spin the message just as hard as it can be spun to move people to action or strong opinions. We all know what tactics are used. You saw a fair amount of dubious techniques in Roger Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.
So here's my point, I'm not a right winger, a left winger, I'm guy with one son, and a history of idealism about what America is supposed to be.
So, going back to 9/11, and Fahrenheit 9/11: when I went to see that movie, I'd already known that video footage, seemingly reliable, had shown that the way the WTC buildings 1,2, and especially #7 came down was not kosher.
So, how did Moore handle this issue: he ignored it. Sure the camera spent an extraordinary amount of time showing the anquished faces, the debris floating in the air like a "ticker tape" parade. Not a single shot or video of anything showing the massive explosions that brought down the towers.
What do I say that proves? It proves that Moore or other producers / directors / writers were avoiding one of the smoking guns of 9/11.
Of course right wingers were already none-too-happy with Moore, and the way Fahrenheit 9/11 treated it's subject, the only thing left wingers came away with is that Bush and the Saudi's had created some blow-back. Yep, the very same argument that poster-boy Ward Churchill who gives right wing Bush supporters another icon to hate.
Are you seeing a trend here? We are talking straw man city, and it works beautifully.
Did you know that Ward Churchill has played the role of govt. informant for the govt. in the past?
My purpose here is to set the stage, which when used in association with David Ray Griffin's books, and Webster Tarpley's book: 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in the USA, paints an omnious picture completely different the the govt. lies.
If you have already read the books above, and remain unconvinced that 9/11 was an Inside Job, then I don't have enough space here to take you thru all the details and possibilities that are smoking guns of one type or another.
If you haven't read the above books, then I respectfully would say it irresponsible to disparage those of us who have and believe exposing the truth of 9/11 is the moral responsibility of every individual.
bg,
Yes, 911 an inside job. I just disagree that attempts to prove it will bear any fruit. I think such an endeavor impossible. It's been designed that way.
I'm not disparaging you, or a few other truth seekers, just warning there are those who aid in muddying the water.
Synthetic terror has been around forever, and blood and treasure extracted from the people to fight "it."
Rather than press for "truth" which I believe is controlled and managed and fed to we the people - I'd prefer to see people educated, employed, healthy, etc.
I don't have any answers. I'm trying to write a piece on American mindset, factors that contributed to why we are where we are today - but it's not pretty.
Sometimes I think as a nation we have so little respect for one another that we don't care what happens to the country. Maybe that was the intent of the "ruling" class.
Thanks for explaining, Kata-A.
For anyone that still does think getting to the bottom of 9/11 matters, here's a link to where the facts seem to be leading:
"Planehuggers"
bg,
Reading a link from Vincent Sammartino on the planehuggers I notice he mentions the SSDI. As I was once an avid geneologist he may not understand some other things about SSDI. Although a private owned site it does state "The Social Security Death Index (SSDI) is generated from the U. S. Social Security Administration's Death Master File."
SSDI does not list a dead person if his/her survivors are receiving death benefits. It also doesn't list anyone not participating in the SS program (more folks than one might think). And it may take longer for some names to get on their index.
Sammartino lists Timothy Ward as one of the 9/11 deaths of Flight 175, who appears on the SSDI and the 9/11 Compensation Fund. On SSDI there are 54 Timothy Wards. Of those 54 on the SSDI none have death listed as 9/11/01.
It's the little defective details offered as "proof" (like Sammartino's) that I question. It's sloppy; it tweaking possible information to fit a foregone conclusion; conjecturing; not research but guesswork dressed up as fact.
I've not read all the planehugger but will do so.
amj
I agree wholeheartedly with you regarding all the above. :)
re:amj
(and Kate, who I already emailed along these lines)
Much of what I see in the history of freedom, which I absolutely advocate, is groups of people being herded into hot water. It gets warmer and warmer, and people don't like it, but they put up with it, because its a lot easier than getting out and touching the hot part of the pot. Eventually, it seems, they decide that in order to be safe, they need to get out and turn off the fire or just leave. Sometimes, they just stay until the water starts to boil, and when this forces them to get out, they leave a bloody mess, because at that point, getting out means burning on the side of the pot. (It was a wee strange analogy, but it works.)
Absolutely "big brother" is here, but he seems to be getting "bigger and brotherer". I do not believe in letting this happen on account of denial of self potentcy. Folks have gotten out of the pot before. The pot is getting hotter, I believe, and I can't visualize the cook turning down the heat out of sympathy for his meal(or his income).
I do not believe myself, nor anyone else, to be an ordinary person. I do seek to influence as many people as much as possible for the better. I will not stop at protecting myself, my family, and a handful of others; I consider every human my extended family, and if I cannot protect them, I will die trying.
I need to rest, or I will wither. I must be content, or I will be unable to rest, but I intend to never be satisfied. I am not content to simply "do my part", which implies(to me) that I am doing what is conveinient and comfortable for me to do. I will do exactly what my part is, which is to do as much as I can. I will not rest until my blood runs cool. After that, I'll have plenty of time.
Other than that, nice post. :)
Oh, and thanks for at least doing your part. That is more than I could say for many, perhaps myself included.
Ambiguity Correction
Paragraph 1: That which I advocate is freedom, not the herding of people. :)
