And the rest of course is history.  Following the attacks this nation was overrun with a fever of patriotic flag-weaving and vigilantly and state-sanctioned anti-Muslim violence.  The American people rallied around the president giving him unprecedented public support.  Support that in the coming months he would use to get passed all the legislation and executive branch policy that had been waiting in the wings for just the right moment, one that had been meticulously planned years in advance.

 

The legislation and policy that was passed without barely a glimpse by our legislators has since been and will continue in the future to be used to take away all of our liberties.  And the end-result desired by our attackers: the vast majority of Americans (at least the working-poor and middle classes) will be subjugated into passive wage-slaves and consumer automatons and our nation will complete it’s transformation into a true fascist state.

 

Time to wake up people

If you haven’t gathered by now, I hold a different view of the 9/11 attacks then the 9/11 Commission and subsequently most Americans.  I see the attacks for what I believe they are and for what is obvious to anyone willing to look at America without the rose-colored lenses.  9/11 was a false-flag assault on this nation executed by criminal forces within our government with ambitions of national domination through increased defense spending that will ultimately result in greater American military influence throughout the world.  The intent of the attacks and the terror-threat media storm that followed was to scare Americans into giving the executive branch – the epicenter of this conspiracy but by no means the entire landscape – the power to run roughshod over our constitution, our lives and eventually our entire nation.

 

Without the blinding effects of the unbridled patriotism and “greatest country on earth” fervor that Americans are famous for one can see that the America that we thought we lived in is now a myth.  It existed once when it was first conceived by the founders of this nation but it has been loosing it’s cohesion for decades and is now all but a figment of our imagination.  The end began more then one hundred years ago when corporate forces invaded and took over our government and they have been reinforcing and expanding their power ever since.

 

America is in peril.  These forces are clearly ruthless, powerful and will stop at nothing to achieve their desired ends.  They want the control of all land, resources and even people to be amassed within a small group of elites.  They are effectively no different then the illegitimate monarchies of old who imposed their will on the people of the time all for power and profit.  The only difference between them and the modern-day monarchs is that today’s elites do what they do under the illusion of democracy.  They use technology as a tool to control and pacify the masses all the while they are infecting our government through the buying of our politicians and the manipulation of our courts.

 

America is in peril people!  We need to wake up and start paying attention.  Put down the fantasy novel and pick up a newspaper … and read it!  Unplug the iPOD and instead of listening to mind-numbing music try focusing your attention on the people who are making national decisions in your name!  And for God’s sake turn off that brain-draining, intellect-poising television; NASCAR, the NFL and Desperate Housewives will have to go on without you!

 

The problem fixing itself is not an option.  The people behind this conspiracy will not relent.  They are ruthless and will marshal their massive power and resources against all freedom-loving governments, causes and people until they’ve achieved their goals.  Our only hope is to expose them and we do this by paying attention.  Read up on the political issues facing our nation and if you can’t find them demand to be kept informed by your representatives; that by the way is part of their jobs.  Apply what you learn to your political and consumer decisions; there is no better way to get a profit-motivated slime-ball to pay attention to you then to threaten his pocketbook.  And lastly, voice your opinion whatever it may be; the more people that participate in the process the closer we come to following the will of the masses.
