The truth is: We´re on our own "The first casualty of war is the truth"
is more than a cliché in the United States; historically, it is almost national policy. Time and time again, the United States government
has resorted to invented and heavily modified tales concocted to gainwidespread public support for mass movements, many of the sort that the average American might balk at. One such episode of strategic mendacity is revealed by recent releases of formerly top secret files about Pearl Harbor. The freshly unearthed information shows with icy clarity just how detailed was U.S. understanding of the "purple" and other codes used by the Japanese on the eve of the Day of Infamy. So well understood were the implications of captured signal intelligence ("Sigint") about Japanese intentions that the U.S. Navy had all the time in the world to move its valuable assets out to sea, leaving only crusty World War I "junk" open to a torpedo bomber attack--itself almost a clone to a drill conducted in the thirties by the same Pacific Fleet.
When. Where. Who--the whole shootin' match (so to speak) down to individual Japanese pilots' target lists was known to a small number of people--a conspiracy. The rest of us chumps just trusted, followed orders and FDR got his high-shock, relatively low-casualty PR event needed to reign Americans collectively into the costliest war in U.S. history, a new sort of battle that extended the U.S.'s reach beyond anything in the nation's experience. Sound familiar?
snipSept. 11 is all about details. You want some more? How about how Dick "Lucky Boy" Cheney and Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root avoided a zillion dollar mandatory WTC asbestos clean-up via convenient collapses; or that the South Tower was powered down from floor 50 up for 36 hours the weekend before "to install new broadband"--akin to shutting down Fuquay-Varina to run TV cable; or that Marvin Bush sat on the boards of Stratesec, the WTC's security provider, as well as a company that insured the complex. Oh yeah, and just where was Marvy that day?
snipWith this sort of selective control, it is not surprising that more people aren't equipped or willing to question much. Americans are superbly and continuously conditioned to be ignorant, and to disregard their own intuition and critical thinking skills.
The freaky part is how even supposedly thoughtful progressives will aggressively (franticly) support 9/11, sweeping piles of genuine
weirdness under a rug with a wave of a hand and an airy, "Oh, that's simple," unwittingly serving as a Greek chorus for a criminal
organization that spews great casks of lies every time they open their lyin' yaps.
