Conspiracy Theorists and 9/11

The fact of the matter is this: the evidence surrounding the events of 9/11 that has been comprehensively concealed from the public points to a massive government conspiracy to cover up what really happened. This is not just a theory anymore. If you take the time to look at the evidence (and there is plenty of it) you will come to the same conclusion. More and more people are now doing this. Like Bush's former chief economist for the Department of Labor Morgan Reynolds. Slowly, more and more Americans are waking up to the biggest scam of the century.

The reason why the average person has such difficulty accepting the evidence surrounding 9/11 is, I believe, two-fold:
1. People are reluctant to admit to themselves that their government is lying to them in a MAJOR way. We're not talking about official approval for the doctoring of a few economic indicators. We're talking about committing mass murder on a huge scale (in the thousands) and then launching an illegal war, killing further tens if not hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in a faraway country, to steal the natural resources of that country.
2. it confronts you with another extremely painful realization: that if it is true that the government is concealing the evidence from our eyes, then that implies that the mainstream media is also in on it. In other words that your mainstream media is also lying to you. If that were not the case, we would have seen this evidence on TV and in the newspapers long ago. I reckon the feeling one gets upon this realization must be akin to something like discovering that your parents are child rapists in their spare time. All the trust and respect you had for your media, gone in a flash, to be replaced with a huge feeling of unease and anxiety about who you can trust.
Many people don't want to go there when confronted with the evidence. That is understandable. It is also ultimately irresponsible. If the government and the corporate media are committing crimes against its own people, then it is the people who will have to expose this. Nobody else will do it for them.

The proof is in the memo. It's impossible to argue around it.

This is quite clearly the single most important issue facing the American people this year: What are they going to do about the Downing Street Memo? It's very existence demands a show of outrage on the part of righteous american citizens who fully understand what the memo implies. It has just been proved beyond reasonable doubt that the so-called leader ('so-called' for let's face it, my money is on Karl calling more of the shots in the WH than Dubya) that the so-called leader of America is guilty of the crime of lying to his country in order to start a war. That is a fact. It is no longer a subjective viewpoint that can be argued away by some hopelessly short-sighted and defective pro-bush logic. It's basically a fact that you can't argue around anymore. Unless you're a philosopher, but we won't go there right now.

And what no doubt a vast majority of the media gazing public in the USA do not realise is that Tony Blair's government in the UK, by acknowledging the authenticity and credibility of the memo, has implicitly confirmed the conclusion that Bush lied to the American people and the US congress.

Hello?? Anybody there?? Does anyone over there realise what that means??? The president has committed a crime literally of historic proportions and nobody in the US media seems rather fussed about it. Of course, I'm not saying we're at all surprised that the media decided to ignore this. That was to be expected all along. After all, what good is the press if they can't be relied on to protect the prez in his moments of peril. In fact, I've found the story of specifically how the US media has danced around this unbelievable scandal to have been just as fascinating as the contents of the memo itself. No really, I mean that.

It's a tragic irony that precisely in this internet era of instant access to staggering amounts of information about world news, events and history, the traditional media can still succeed in hiding this scandal from the american people.

It's quite astonishing when you read about how the major papers have feverishly managed to bury the story every time on a page far removed from the first one where a much smaller percentage of the readers will eventually get to it. And even then, you normally have to read far into the article in order to learn what the issue is about in the first place.

Weird is not the word I'm looking for. Mind-boggling gets closer.


"This, my fellow Americans, is the hottest news out there in the big, old rest of the world. The story, which has been reported prominently in The Times of London since May 1, has gotten more hits on the Internet than any other in the newspaper's history."

The Lie of the Century

Basically the situation is this: The Bush administration lied to its people and congress in order to launch an illegal war against a nation that was absolutely NOT posing a clear and present danger to the USA. All the evidence reaching the media since 2002 proves this to be correct. The only problem is this: the US corporate media has been involved in a concerted and far-reaching operation to obfuscate and bury this evidence in such a way that the american public does not realise the gravity of the crime that has been committed by the executive branch of its government. Don't believe that the media is responsible for this? Consider the Downing Street Memo scandal. In Europe it was front page news as soon as it leaked out. The reason: the memo, which was acknowledged as being authentic by the UK government, reported that the Bush administration had already decided to go to war in 2002 and needed to fix the intelligence in order to support the decision. Reason enough for a front page spread you would think. Especially in the country of the government in question, the USA. But it is precisely in America that the public has been kept away from this story. And, more significantly, not just by Fox News, but by ALL the major media outlets, including the Washington Post, The New York Times and the 3 major television networks.

"Right now, we have the criminals at hand. and, while other leaders in history have lied to start wars, for the first time in history, the lie stands exposed while the war started with the lies still rages on, to the death and detriment of our young men and women in uniform.....Lying to start a war is more than an impeachable offence; it the highest possible crime a government can commit against their own people. Lying to start a war is not only misappropriation of the nation's military and the nation's money under false pretenses, but it is outright murder committed on a massive scale."

So what can we do? Actually lots. Starting right here...

Watergate Weighs on Today's White House

by Peter Wallsten

"The scandal that forced Nixon from power prompted Congress in the months and years that followed to pursue a series of good-government reforms designed to clean up elections and make the executive branch more accountable"

"To the Bush family, Watergate was "a personal failing by Nixon, not an institutional failing," Schweizer said. "Their view is that weakening the executive was the wrong solution to the problem." "

How to prove to God that He doesn't exist (humour)

"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that" and promply vanishes in a puff of logic."
-- Douglas Adams, from "A Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

'Is Bush Wired?' - Anno 2005

This is not definitive proof that Bush uses an earpiece at all public occasions. But if you analyse the combination of his words, his interrupted speech and his body movements, you cannot help but come to the conclusion that someone is feeding him the words he has to say.
And check out his smirk at the end! As if he's saying 'I know something you don't...'

see it here.

What part of 'government propaganda' is confusing to you?

"You would think that FCC deregulation, affecting millions of Americans, would get major play in the media. But the national networks knew that if people found out about how one media mogul could own nearly everything you watch, hear and read in a city, there would be revolt. The solution for them was simple: They just didn't cover the issue for a year. The only thing the networks did was to join together — and you thought they were competitors? — in a brief filed with the FCC to call for media deregulation."

"These are not media that are serving a democratic society, where a diversity of views is vital to shaping informed opinions. This is a well-oiled propaganda machine that is repackaging government spin and passing it off as journalism."
