ANY FOOL COULD HAVE PREDICTED THE 911 ‘FUND RAISER’ AND
THE COVERUP, THE OIL WAR, DISAPPEARING FREEDOMS, $4 GAS AND ECONOMIC COLLAPSE
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER
Today we honor the dead. Some of us picture kids in planes burning to death and people in collapsed buildings. The paranoid and perhaps the realistic of us also consider what sickening things the 911 Commission coverup kept from us. What if Americans were involved in the planning? Why were the hijackers from countries whose intelligence agencies are very close to the US? Where is the plane and the passengers if a drone really hit the Pentagon? Where did they land? How did they die? Can Americans really do things like this?
In ceremonies around America, honest decent people remember 911. Somewhere along with them, the people who may have planned 911 are standing with tears in their eyes chuckling under their breath at the fools all of us are. Can this be true? Why would we have a coverup, something most Americans know we are always doing, if we don’t have something to hide?
911 was a watershed for America. With the Cold War over and our military industrial complex stalled, our vast national debt being paid off, freedom and prosperity as we had never known it being enjoyed by most Americans and hope for a better life a reality for most, less than 2 dozen men and a series of “asleep at the switch” or “looking the other way” accidents ended the prosperity, ended the freedom and put us at war with enemies of our own making.
Years later, we find we invaded the wrong country based on treasonous lies but no longer have enough freedom left to punish the traitors, no more power to demand justice than to bring the thousands needlessly dead back to life. America has changed. We have a vast new bureaucracy with tens of thousands of employees listening to every call, reading every email and following us thru our lives. Our only growth industry is the mercenary armies we employ, spending billions on death squads, secret prisons and “war pork”, endless projects built out of sand and lies.
Defense contracts and oil profits eat up our economy and drown us in debt while banks collapse like dominoes and our neighborhoods turn into a wasteland of abandoned homes. Finding a job in much of America is harder than winning a lottery without buying a ticket. Hundreds of thousands of highly qualified and well educated Americans are now fighting over minimum wage jobs to keep their families in apartments and their belongings in storage hoping for a time when they can try to own a home again.
Perhaps we should remember these victims of 911. With the dead that day, we can add 4,000 plus killed in action, most in a war planned by fools and started by liars. To the 4000, we can add tens of thousands of crippled and maimed young Americans and, as of now, over 70,000 PTSD sufferers. We may also have over 10,000 veterans dead of suicide. This number we will never know. Did they die of wartime horrors or from returning to a nation they fought to defend, finding only unemployment, homelessness and a nation divided by fear and hate?
Lying politicians, lying more and more every day, victimized our soldiers and their families. Years after the dead, the damaged and the hopeless, we start talking about medical care and a GI Bill, years spent, as we now find, taking bribes, drugs and sexual favors from the oil companies that have engorged themselves on war profits.
911 is hardly a day for Americans to remember. 911 is a celebration of how “they” got us to forget. All most Americans remember of the past is dollar gas and “pre-terror” airports. For those who think the ‘losing is over’, just wait. They aren’t finished with you. If you still have a job, a cent in the bank and a home to take away or perhaps a pension or a college fund for the kids, “they” aren’t finished with you.
Has the Global War on Terror really been little more than a huge scam to empty Americas pockets into Swiss bank accounts? Do empty homes, no jobs and dead soldiers equal Ferraris and yachts? Stop and look. What do you think?
