I’m not into conspiracy theories, I do not trust our government, to tell us the truth, simply look at our sordid past.
It’s the 11th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center buildings, the Pentagon, and the American people. All across the country we’ll be remembering the victims with plaques, statues and speeches. But remembering them isn’t enough. We need to uncover the truth about 9/11 so we can honor them, give some meaning to their deaths, and bring healing to our nation.
If you haven’t see the new documentary, “9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out,” I highly recommend that you take 90 minutes out of your day, sometime this week, and watch it while it’s still available free online. There’s a particularly poignant paragraph near the end that makes it perfectly clear why we must keep demanding the truth about 9/11:
“After WWII part of the way that Jewish people honored the dead was by making sure the truth was known and the value of these people was respected. Not pursuing the truth about 9/11 disrespects the value of the lives of the people that died. Thinking that we’re above such things, that it could happen in other countries but it couldn’t here, that’s a lack of humility and that’s excessive pride. And, so not being able to see our dark side or our weaknesses is the most dangerous thing.”
Now, before you write me off as some lunatic conspiracy theorist, there’s something else in this video you need to hear: Your instinct to ignore the facts, turn away and call me a lunatic is normal, in fact, it’s expected.
Denial is a basic, psychological reponse mechanism that kicks in to protect you whenever your beliefs are challenged, and some of our greatest beliefs were shaken to the core on 9/11: The beliefs that our country protects us and keeps us safe and that America is the good guy. The evidence to the contrary was obvious before 9/11, and each year that evidence becomes more and more compelling.
Psychologists who’ve worked with victims of 9/11 report that many Americans don’t want to know the truth because they know their lives would never be the same. And many Americans refuse to believe that so many Americans could be that statnically treasonous without our knowledge. Surely, someone would have leaked the secrets and prevented this atrocity.
To honor the fallen and their survivors, and to bring healing to our country, it’s important to separate your feelings, your basic beliefs, from the actual cold, hard facts surrounding 9/11. It doesn’t matter what you want to believe. All that matters is what really happened. Without acknowleding the truth, all of the deaths related to 9/11, including all the deaths in the ensuing War on Terrorism, are nothing but fuel for the war machine.
Regardless of the alphabet soup of letters or the official looking seal you see on the cover, the “official” account of the events of 9/11 are a cleverly-crafted fairytale. And, like all good fairytales, this one was woven with a lesson, in mind: There are evil terrorists lurking around every corner. You’re not smart enough to recognize these treacherous trolls and defend yourself. Therefore, we, the United States Government, will step in on your behalf, rid the world of evil, and bring order out of chaos.
In reality, this official account was presented in such a way that it justified the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, wars which resulted in the deaths of more than 6,000 Americans soldiers and millions of people in those countries. At the same time, the official account enabled the United States government to limit your civil liberties, liberties which were, and still are, guaranteed by the American Constitution.
Let’s begin dissecting this fairytale by taking a look at Osama Bin Laden. If we’re to believe the official reports, he’s the man who master-minded the entire tragedy. Capturing Osama Bin Laden was our whole reason for entering into war with Afghanistan.
