You Say You Want a Revolution?

7/24/2013

In a recent essay, I named a number of "trees" in the forest of lies given to us by our leaders and our mainstream media:

JFK, RFK, October Surprise, Bush v. Gore, Nine Eleven, etc.

How do you suppose we get out of this forest?

Elections? But leaders in both parties have lied to us and covered up crimes.

Alternative Media? I like alternative forms of media but how long must we wait until a critical mass disregards the mainstream media's conclusions on the "trees"? And who is to say that alternatives won't be part of the controlled opposition?

Rounding up the criminals behind these events? Good luck with that. Since when has anyone gone to jail for anything I have mentioned.

The only real way to clear out the corruption is the unthinkable. We will simply have to think of a way around that.

What We Need and Why We Do Not Get It

7/4/2013

Many people laugh when I suggest that people connected to the government lied to the public about the events of 9/11.

But when I say politicians lie, or members of the Supreme Court lie, or that public officials lie about other matters, the same people nod their heads and agree enthusiastically.

Why is that?

It has to do with needs. If one determines that they need something, they tend to hold on to it more tightly than something they could do without. This attitude is simple human nature.

According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (see picture), a person’s first set of needs are the most basic: we all need to breathe, drink water, eat food, etc. If we are dependent (or believe we are dependent) upon someone else to provide these necessities, we would not likely question that person or antagonize them. We could be saying goodbye to our lives!

Once a person achieves this first set of needs, this theory tells us, they are able to handle the next set, which is about the security of: one’s person, employment, health, etc. If one does not feel secure about themselves and about their position in society, they will not be able to move up the “ladder” of the hierarchy and make friends or feel self-confidence.

“Rocking the boat” and questioning those who provide security, such as agents of our government, jeopardizes one’s ability to become a confident and social person. It may not be the same as being deprived of water, but one who openly doubts those charged with providing security risks social suicide!

No wonder a majority of people still trust our government with the responsibility of protecting us from attack, despite overwhelming evidence that the events of 9/11 were a hoax! It is far safer to “settle” for accusing politicians of lying and cheating because there is no fear of retaliation or alienation for espousing these views.

Yes, we all understand the advantage of safety: one does not have to lift a finger.

Imagine the possibility of afterlife. This idea goes beyond one’s security on the temporary home of Planet Earth. It goes to eternal life.

Imagine a deity who records your every thought and action. Imagine your destination after life going favorably in one direction and horribly in another direction. Imagine this deity having control over which way you go.

Many of those who are willing to speak out against the actions of those charged with running our government are unwilling to speak up about certain religions that threaten eternal insecurity to those that question the deity.

There is something missing in the Maslow’s theory. Somewhere after we get our water and our food, we need to grasp the right to ask questions and to obtain answers. The idea of either trusting our leaders blindly to protect us or to face alienation is not sufficient for any of us to function in a world of deception and lies.

That’s my theory. We need choices that reflect our needs, not our fears.

Freedom from Fear Forever

5/1/2013

The events of 9/11 were a hoax. I spent several years researching the event and have presented my conclusions on this topic. People are free to read what I have to say and agree or disagree with those conclusions.

My question now is: what should we who are convinced of the falsity of the official theory of 9/11 want?

We will never convict those responsible for this fraud.

We will never get the mainstream media to show our side to the story.

We will never reverse the policies that came about as a result of the fraud.

With that in mind, we can and should focus on something that we can attain. It is something far more basic than any of these other goals and perhaps even more useful.

It is the simple concept of freedom.

The controversy over what happened on September 11 and many other events before and since has stoked the fears of all of us.

Fear of terrorists. Fear of foreigners. Fear of flying. Fear of freedoms being taken from us. Fear of the future.

In the words of Franklin Roosevelt, we need freedom from fear.

We can work toward this goal by untangling us from what makes us so afraid: the unknown. Answers to a few simple questions would be helpful.

Are you afraid the government will take your guns (or other freedoms)?

Do you often believe what the same government tells you about 9/11 and other events?

Do you believe history repeats itself?

Do you believe the future will be much different than the past?

If you are willing to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time, will you ever achieve freedom of thought?

Welcome to a future that will be a lot like what we have already experienced. The government and media will continue to lie to protect interests. People will continue to predict Doomsday. The truth about anything important will be known but never stated openly until it no longer matters.

Clear your mind and follow the way of the world. Not a straight line to disaster but one big familiar circle instead.

Fools and Children Speak the Truth

3/29/2013

A French proverb tells us that only fools and children speak the truth.

Many children grow up believing in the tooth fairy, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. It obviously isn’t because they researched the issue on what happens to their teeth after they put them under their pillows or how a sleigh run by reindeers can fly all over the world in one night.

Someone told them to believe it.

I believed in these things as a kid because it felt good. I liked to believe that someone was thinking about me and giving me rewards.

It was all plausible to me because I did not give the details of any of these myths much of a thought.

For most of us where I grew up, these were among the first things that someone (i.e. adults) told us to believe. The beliefs of the tooth fairy, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny were our first official theories.

We laughed off any suggestion that they were not real. After all, everyone we knew believed in them, so we did, too. Anyone who said anything to the contrary was not with us. They were just foolish.

The best theory in alternative to the official one was, of course, the theory that adults were lying to us about where the money we would find underneath our pillows or gifts under the Christmas tree would come from. Our parents – lie to us?

It was a lie to help us enjoy our childhood, long before we became adults ourselves and faced big responsibilities. The lie made us feel safe. Never mind it was barely plausible.

But the white lies didn’t stop there. And it wasn’t just being lied to, either.

We learned to lie and accept lies out of comfort. I could not stand eating certain vegetables as a child. I also learned my mom feared looking old. So, at around the age of eight, I lied to my mom by telling her she looked 30 (she was 31 when I was born) to get her approval to skip the vegetables.

In high school, I had a date with a girl who offered no opinions, thoughts or ideas on anything during our dinner. I should have told her that I did not want to see her again. Instead, to avoid the discomfort of dirty looks from her friends who were in my classes, I waited for her to tell me that I was not a high priority.

I don’t know who told the lie that I just needed to get a bachelor’s degree to get a good job. But I felt conditioned to believe it. Then I discovered the cold truth when I took a job shortly after college graduation that did not even pay minimum wage and for which I slaved to try to please a boss who could not be pleased.

We are simply conditioned to avoid truths that would wake us from our slumber of comfort. We are conditioned to respond negatively to unpleasant truths.

I had trouble believing any of my English ancestors held slaves. My family wouldn’t do that! But I couldn’t help but notice a black man named Edgerton Hartwell while watching National Football League games. There were so few blacks in England during the time my ancestors were there, the proof that people I am related to owned slaves stares back at me.

The issue here is not really the truth. It is comfort. Few will risk stepping out of their comfort to speak up for the truth. It is so much easier to stay asleep and tell ourselves that at least we aren’t foolish.

Why the Official Pattern of Lies Matters

5/30/2011

Why should anyone be interested in whether the official version of an event such as 9/11 is true?

To understand the significance of lies, we need to understand the truth and why the lies are told. Here are five events in recent history in which our leaders (the mainstream media and our politicians) did not tell us the truth:

Assassinations of Kennedy Brothers

Official story: Lone assassins did it

Reality: Government conspiracies

Gulf of Tonkin/Viet Nam War

Official story: Communists started it and we have to fight them

Reality: We started it and had no intention of winning it

Iran Hostages Return

Official story: Iran capitulated to new president Ronald Reagan

Reality: Reagan’s campaign team made a secret deal with Iran to postpone release of hostages until after the election

Election 2000

Official story: U.S. Supreme Court was needed to make decision and it upheld George W. Bush’s legal argument by 5-4 vote

Reality: Bush campaign officials purged voting rolls of likely Gore voters and illegally acted to include Bush votes that should not have been counted. Also, Bush partisans in media falsely declared him the winner on Election Night.

9/11

Official story: Osama bin Laden was behind it

Reality: Leaders inside and outside our government plotted event and framed bin Laden

What we have is a pattern of lies by the very people we are supposed to trust to give us correct information. The next obvious question is why would they do this?

In the case of the Kennedy assassinations and 9/11, leaders hid their own actions by blaming innocent people.

In the case of the Viet Nam War, leaders promoted a war that made money for the military, the defense contractors and their investors, a group I call the “War Party.”

In the case of the Iran Hostage return, leaders helped a new president and his agenda, which not coincidentally supported the War Party.

In the case of the 2000 Election, the leaders installed a president whose handlers would assist in an upcoming event.

What if we could have detected these lies?

We would know that people within our government were capable of murdering the president and other innocent people. We would know that we do not fight wars to win. We would know that people not associated with the government can and do alter the outcome of elections.

How might people knowledgeable of these lies act upon this knowledge?

They might not be very compliant citizens of the United States.

They might not vote.

They might demand cuts in defense spending.

They might not pay taxes.

They might resist government intrusion into their privacy.

They might write a more accurate version of history and newsworthy events.

They might not support the next war.

What could be the result of this?

The rich who benefit from the War Party will have less.

The guilty will be caught.

The power in our nation will shift from those we know as leaders to those now being led.

Do you still question why it matters whether the official version of events is true?
