Mike, you can ask me as many questions as you want.
I was first amazed at how a nation could "pull together" the way ours did after 9/11, but I questioned it. It's in my nature to question things. It didn't seem right to me but I couldn't pin point why. I just felt like something was wrong with it.
I questioned things more when our government manufactured a lie to get us over there. People can tell me all day that our government made a mistake. It was no mistake that they didn't find weapons of mass destruction. There are people in all branches of our government that have lives in the palms of their hands every day. People who, if they made a mistake, other people would die. Our government entrusts people with jobs that require no mistakes are made, ever. There are fail safes upon fail safes for everything. Somehow though, some way, our government was able to "overlook" the fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Oopsie! No big deal. They only deployed our ENTIRE military and killed countless people. They made Saddam out to be an evildoer, a villain. Somebody who deserved retribution, and we would deliver it. He was an evil man who ruled with an iron fist.
Regardless of how Saddam ruled his country, it's still his country. How he ruled his country was none of our business and didn't warrant our presence. But we were already there based on the guise that Saddam wanted to attack us. We all know Saddam started the problem with us, don't we? It said so on the news. The problem I have with that is our government owns the media outlets. I'm sorry, but that is a conflict of interest. There is enough greed in Washington to lie to the American public and then some. If you think our government wouldn't lie to the American people, you are wrong. THIS IS NOT THEORY, THIS IS FACT. Your government has lied to you all and everyone you know. It's documented over and over and over. But they're telling the truth this time? I don't facking think so.
So since we're already in Iraq, why not instill some democracy? Let's show these people how it's done! Democracy for all!
Here's a thought- What if those people don't want democracy? What if democracy isn't the government of choice for the Iraqi people? Did anyone stop and ask themselves that while we were cramming the notion of democracy down their throats and pissing all over the entire point of democracy?
The Iraqi people are animals. They are not us and they do not live like us. If something works for us, it doesn't necessarily mean it will work for them. These are people who live in huts and carry AK-47's everywhere they go. If they had their equivalent of a "meeting of congress", men would get shot during the meeting. Is this wrong? Not in Iraq. It may seem wrong to Americans but guess what? This is America, that is Iraq. They should be able to run their country any way they want.
If anybody seriously thinks that this "threat" from Iraq was serious enough that they could reach the shores of North America, they need to look into the Iraqi military. Tanks from WWII, a handful of helicopters, I'm not positive but I think they literally had one fighter jet. "Oh but they hijacked a jet!" Iraq did not hijack a jet.
So we invaded a foreign country for what? Can anybody tell me? Why did we go to Iraq? Once we got there and the reason was false, why did we stay?
Saddam did rule with an iron fist. That's all those people know. That is why they were ruled the way they were, because it's the only way they'll stay in line. Look at them now that Saddam's gone. They're just falling right into place, aren't they? Everything is all fixed in Iraq now that they have democracy. I'd have to say it was worth all of the money, all of the effort, all of the heart break, and every single one of the lives lost if you look at Iraq today. It's a shining example of democracy now, is it not?
But the TV says it's much better over there so...
They tell us that Osama Bin Laden is dead and we're all supposed to rejoice. It's like a conductor standing at his podium cuing us all to applaud. Whoever thinks that our government can't find a man who lives in a cave doesn't know our government very well. Our government can find anyone they want. If they had wanted Bin Laden dead the week after 9/11, he would have been dead.
I remember years ago hearing people talk about some of the facts about 9/11 I now know to be true. The hole in the Pentagon being the wrong size, the lack of wreckage both there and in PA, etc, etc. I thought those were just theories so I didn't pay them much mind. I really didn't buy into the popular, commonly accepted story of 9/11, with the box cutters and hijackers and all of that. I didn't have any reason to believe it, but I had plenty of reasons not to. Our government lies all of the time. Again people, THIS IS FACT. I base every decision I make in my life on the truth. I do not like lies and I do not like liars. One simple lie can change the way I look at a person from that point forward. Our government has lied to us all many, many times. This is something that I know and I will never forget. Our government is shot. It is full of liars. Their business, is to lie. Everyone knows this, but why does everyone accept it? I refuse it. I choose to think for myself and form my own thoughts based on fact. As stated before, I may miss out on some things by not watching the news or reading the paper, but I don't want to know what they want me to know. I'll get the facts when the dust settles.
So basically Mike, this has been something that's been forming inside of me for quite some time. I watched the two documentaries that I posted and read the book at about the same time, about a month or a month and a half ago. Those documentaries show you photographic evidence, scientific evidence, and eye witness accounts from those who have no vested interest in whomever is to blame for anything. These people are impartial. They saw and heard what happened, and there is video to back up their claims, yet their questions go unanswered. Their shouting goes unheard. They gather in droves and are ignored. Why is this? Why is it that these people can not get an answer to their questions? Why would our government, the government by the people and for the people, ignore such an outcry?
The simple answer that we all know should we choose to look is that they can not give us the answer to the questions being asked. Why would such an atrocity go uninvestigated and have the very evidence of who would commit such an act obscured immediately after? The biggest crime scene in the world, the biggest "foreign" invasion of all time committed on American soil and we cart the evidence off to all corners of the globe to be destroyed right off the bat. Does this not make sense to anyone else?
Your media will lead you to believe that Osama Bin Laden took credit for 9/11, but he never actually did. The "video footage" you saw was grainy beyond belief and very poorly translated. Some even say his videos were edited together. I wouldn't doubt it. Every single thing you watch on TV these days is edited. But the media wouldn't edit that, would they? If Bin Laden ever had his day in court, let's call it Bin Laden vs The American People, America wouldn't stand a chance. They would ask America for their side, America would say "He did it", and that would be it. The evidence is gone. That case would get thrown right out of court.
I choose my outlets of information and avoid the main stream media. I like being happy and optimistic regardless of the state of the world today. I try not to dwell on the big picture because there isn't a whole lot I can do to change it. I refuse, however, to watch the talking heads on TV give me a fake smile and tell me what to think, whether it be good or bad. I don't need their propaganda. I can form my own thoughts. The human brain worked just fine for eons before the last few years where man decided it could be improved from chemicals. Chemicals manufactured by man and never designed to be ingested by the human body. There are natural remedies to many, many ailments but they take a back seat artificially manufactured drugs that may mimic the benefit of the natural remedy, but always have a side effect. There is no such thing as a cure all drug. They're all addictive, they all have side effects, and everyone is hooked on them. The TV sells them to you and tells you of ailments you otherwise wouldn't have ever thought you had, so you must need that drug! Uncle Sam is the biggest drug pusher in the world and it makes me sick.
But I digress...
Open your eyes people.
