Part I
Investigation
of a crime means reading the evidence, first. 9-11 was spectacular crime
leaving behind spectacular evidence. Spectacle was the whole thing—give
people visions they would never forget, embed fears to shadow them forever.
Deep cracks penetrated the American psyche on 9-11, some possibly too
deep to heal; therein lies perhaps the greatest ally of 9-11 perpetrators,
the collective desperation of Americans for no more damage. We’ve
been hurt enough!
"Looking
away" might shunt some pain, and clear the way for explanations
that help the wound start to heal, but such neutralizing of evidence
offers short-term comfort at best, while actually making things worse
with its invitation for greater wounds. The looking away, refusal to
consider evidence, it could be called religion based on fundamental
faith that our government..."OH! They’d Never Do THAT!"
The truth that they would do that, and actually did—as virtually
all evidence proves—not only represents more pain, but makes our
enemy hard to define. The mass emotional steady-state requires an explanation
soothing in its finality while providing a clear enemy, a culprit at
which victims can focus their rage. The truth of 9-11 rips many people
too far from steady-state comfort, presents a dilemma some can’t
handle. Thus, the pervasive looking away, which in this case is the
worst possible posture. As long as one’s head is buried in comforting
sand, the ass kicking inevitably gets worse.
Had Sherlock
Holmes been in New York on 9-11-01, armed with a good view of the WTC,
along with understanding of current events because he’s been with
us all this time, he might have said upon observing the second tower
disintegrating into a free-fall billow of enough pulverized concrete
to coat much of Manhattan with inches of powder (1)...Sherlock might
have said, "Watson, it’s not so much the demolitions, but
the preparations. Pull up information on security functions over the
last few weeks especially, any evacuations and lockdowns, power-downs
to kill the records—check the occupant announcements for both
buildings."
And later
in the day, seeing the essentially undamaged WTC7 dive into its footprint
at free fall speed—twenty minutes after the collapse had been
trumpeted on a live BBC feed! (2)...perhaps Sherlock would tell Watson:
"Exactly as it seems, which is exactly how it will not be portrayed.
The size of these crimes today will make their evidence too large for
good focus."
Indeed, mountains
of evidence survive even after frantic destruction, by Coverup forces,
of evidence at the crime scene (such as this massive steel vertical
support cleanly cut off at 45 degrees by thermate) (3), but the wound
has become a fistula. Bullfighters with deep horn wounds often suffer
fistulas, where the wound seals over at the surface, but remains angry
and unhealed further inside. Such a wound must be reopened, examined,
cleaned out—and left open until healing can begin at the depths.
9-11 is a fistula for America as well as much of the world, a wound
that unless opened up and properly exposed, will only cause more disease.
When it comes
to soothing the masses, our mainstream media (CorpoMedia) is the ultimate
pusher, serving up our drugs of their choice (ignorance, distraction,
xenophobia, supremacy and bigotry) until death do us part. If CorpoGov
propaganda is removed from CorpoMedia, along with celebritneys, sports,
sensationalism, and "really gross stuff", little remains other
than weather, and commercials (which are simply another form of propaganda).
Omission is obviously one of CorpoMedia’s ultimate functions,
the disappearing of so many things Americans should know but CorpoGov
wants to hide. Things such as actual American casualty figures for the
invasion and occupation of Iraq—which evidence indicates are far,
far higher than officially stated. The list of omission is getting so
long the "news" is becoming as vacuous as a presidential "debate";
and topping the list is that fistula we look away from only at our greatest
peril: 9-11.
Why is discussion
of 9-11 so taboo that the blackout is metastasizing even to otherwise
progressive sites on the Internet? Could it be for any other reason
besides CorpoGov having most everything to hide? If the Official Story
of 9-11 were even mildly defensible, would 9-11 really need informational
martial law? In a certain paranoid stretch, the truth about 9-11 could
be considered an issue of National Security—as CorpoGov is trying
to hide an astonishing, record number of issues behind; but whose security,
the American Peoples’, or CorpoGov’s? They have become two
very different considerations.
Ron Paul
did bring up 9-11 in an early presidential debate; not in context of
who were the actual planners and executioners, rather, the crime itself
being blowback for crimes of CorpoGov. Rudy Giuliani was swift, vicious
and false in his rebuttal, even demanding that Paul retract that statement!
"That's really an extraordinary statement," said Giuliani.
"As someone who lived through the attack of September 11, that
we invited the attack because we were attacking Iraq; I don't think
I've ever heard that before and I've heard some pretty absurd explanations
for September 11." So have we, Rudy, such as the Official Story.
Unfortunately,
the crowd went wild, apparently without a reasonable thought among them,
such as, "Hey Rudy, where ya been? Are logic and truth really so
offensive to you?"
Few if any
in that debate crowd might realize how insulting the Official Story
of 9-11 is to people who think for themselves, people more inclined
to believe what they see over what they are told by professional liars.
The Official "Investigation" of 9-11 is a powerful indictment
of the intelligence of Americans, and people around the globe. The Bush
administration fought like the screaming, thrashing, snotty child it
is against any official investigation of the events of 9-11, and they
won—at least so far. There has never been an actual investigation
of the greatest crime ever committed against Americans. That in itself
speaks volumes. BushCo finally did acquiesce to a whitewash—with
Henry Kissinger as the main washer. Yes, that Henry Kissinger, career
criminal and professional liar wanted in so many countries for war crimes
that his international travel is highly restricted. Kissinger chairing
the phony investigation would have been like a serial rapist managing
a shelter for women. Mass indignation kept that from panning out, but
the thought itself says nearly as much as the continued absence of an
independent investigation.
So Thomas
Kean led the committee to jeer at thoughtful people through whitewash,
and essentially declare Americans complete idiots. Perhaps one of the
most telling conclusions of the Kean Omission is that they just don’t
know why WTC7 imploded. Apparently they have not seen the PBS documentary
where Larry Silverstein blithely admits that they made the decision
to "pull" WTC7 (demolish through controlled demolition), and
they "...watched the building collapse."(4) Again, it’s
not so much the demolition as the preparation; why was WTC7 rigged for
demolition BEFORE 9-11?
Right up
there with the WTC7 Official Shrug is the Official Story of the Attack
On the Pentagon. Essentially, Americans are being asked to find comfort
in the conclusion that a Boeing 757 disappeared into a comparatively
tiny hole virtually without a trace (5). The Official Explanation is
every bit as likely as an elephant disappearing into a teacup—and
they keep saying that’s what happened, even sometimes lamenting
that so many people don’t believe their story. Well, why don’t
they show us what happened? Numerous recordings of the elephant disappearing
into the teacup taken by surveillance cameras of businesses near the
Pentagon were immediately confiscated and, classified as Ultra Top Secret.
So they have video recordings from various angles of exactly what happened
at the Pentagon; if they show us the proof in living color that an elephant
in fact did disappear into a teacup, it might make some of the other
miracles of 9-11 that much more believable.
Again, if
the official version of events on 9-11 had anything to do with what
really happened, why is any mention of 9-11 such CorpoMedia taboo? Sure,
there might be an occasional squeak about 9-11, but there is never any
mention of the growing legions of professionals—and even former
government officials including BushCo Republicans saying the Official
Story is a farce; it’s always something meticulously vetted into
propaganda supporting the idea that Islamic maniacs want to hurt us.
It’s always something of the be-afraid! variety...something to
support perpetual war, meaning the War On Terror, which is actually
a war on us. Vast taxpayer monies are being sucked up by war profiteers
to kill innocent and apparently inferior foreigners so we can control
their resources, and the main thing Americans are reaping is peril of
intensifying hatred of the rest of the world. Are we really supposed
to believe that antagonizing the rest of the world is making Americans
safer? Apparently. We spend so much making the world a more dangerous
place that nothing is left to improve the lives of Americans; we are
simply left with debt, insecurity, decaying infrastructure, many millions
without health care....
As enormously
costly as 9-11 has been to American citizens, the truth remaining locked
down guarantees the costs will continue to grow. Our Constitution has
already been so ravaged—with 9-11 as an excuse—that, among
other things, habeas corpus is gone and we are but the stroke of a pen
away from martial law and subsequent internment of dissidents in one
of FEMA’s 800 new and ready-to-go forced labor prisons (see Rex
84 program) (6). What is a dissident? Fundamentally, anyone who thinks
for themselves.
9-11 has
produced many big winners, including: CorpoGov and American fascism;
Industrial Military Complex; Israel; war-profiteering corporations in
general; people who capitalized on their foreknowledge to make a killing
in the stock market with put options; Larry Silverstein.... For the
American People—if we prove wise enough—9-11 does offer
the benefit of finally recognizing CorpoMedia for what it is, and pulling
the plug. The same potential is there regarding CorpoGov—the mass
realization that our enemy is internal. Sure, we could take it easy,
pretend that the upcoming election might solve something...or we could
finally realize, in whatever time we might have left, that if we continue
to treat American politics as a spectator sport—get ready for
the two-minute warning. Thomas Jefferson said that the price of liberty
is eternal vigilance. We have a lot of catching up to do, after waking
up. One of the first things we need to do is restore our Constitution—is
this even an issue in the upcoming "election"?
In Part 3:
The darkening horizon for Americans with such pervasive foreign occupation
of our government and mass media, and how we might achieve a little
brightness. Weapons progress versus human progress. Also, education,
partly in terms of Hitler’s infamous quote: "What luck for
rulers that men do not think".
