11th Anniversary of 9-11 Attacks--Have we learned anything?

11 years ago today, thousands of Americans died.  What have we learned in the 11 years since the attack?

Not much apparently or at least the majority of Americans are still willfully ignorant about the truth of 9/11.

We were told:
Four planes were hijacked on that morning.  2 Planes were flown into the WTC towers with stunning precision. 1 plane was crashed into the side of the 5-story Pentagon building.  On the last plane, the passengers fought back and it crashed in a field in Somerset County Pennsylvania.  We were told that the hijackers were members of Al Qaeda and that the plot was masterminded by Osama Bin Laden. We were told that we were attacked because "they hate us and our freedoms and way of life."
As a result, we swiftly invaded Iraq; toppled their government; and killed anywhere from 110,000 to 1.03 million (including civilians and military personnel).  We also invaded Afghanistan because they were harboring these terrorists.  We toppled their government; killed 28,000+; and helped re-institute a government there.

The truth (or at least as I understand it from the evidence):
The truth, unfortunately, is much more nefarious.  The attacks on September 11th were orchestrated by the United States (or at the very least allowed to happen for political purposes). In fact, the US has planned to create false flags in the past and the US completed false flags in the past.  Some officials knew about the attacks (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and yet no attempt was made to stop the attack.  Our country, in the past, had planned such false flags and even executed a few (such as the USS Liberty and USS Cole, see also Gulf of Tonkin incident).

Furthermore, we were told that Al Qaeda was responsible for the attacks.  Further evidence suggests that Al Qaeda doesn't even exist and it was created by the CIA as a scapegoat.

The US facilitated in attempted attacks for political purposes including helping the "underwear bomber" get on a plane (1).  This was "convenient", for lack of a better word, because the US needed the justification to roll out all of the body scanning devices it had purchased the year before.

As a result of the attacks on September 11th, our congress has passed dozens of bills, created federal agencies (the DHS & groin groping TSA were created post-9/11) and dozens of executive orders have been written increasing the power of the federal government and restricting the rights of citizens.


We are committed to a perpetual war on terror.  This war was the justification for the war on patriots

The DHS has put the "terrorists" on the back burner and waged war on patriots. They've been targeting libertarians, constitutionalists, evangelical Christians, gun owners, and veterans.

The TSA is planning on rolling out it's body scanners and psychological conditioning tactics (even admitting that they aren't making us safer) to train and bus stations. Pretty soon we won't be able to travel anywhere without having to show our papers to the American gestapo TSA.

And the government has waged war on our liberties via NDAA and the Patriot Act but even right to redress our grievances (our free speech).

We were told to support the patriot act because it makes us safer.

Are we any safer? We're 8 times more likely to die from a police officer than from a terrorist.

I could write so much more, but all I can say is believe half of what you see, none of what you hear and understand that democide results in more deaths than any war.

13 Shot Dead at Batman Premier

At least 12 people were killed and 50 were being treated at Denver area hospitals after a shooting at a midnight showing of Batman, the youngest a 3-month-old baby.  READ MORE>>>

I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this, but I will say a few things.

If it weren't an election year, you could expect that this tragic (and thankfully rare) event would be one of the main reasons those in the anti-gunliberty movement would be pushing for stricter gun laws.

Next, if you have a gun you need to carry it and carry it everywhere.  I have at least one gun that I carry with me everywhere (including to work and church).  Yes it's much less likely that you'll be involved in a life-threatening situation in a movie theater, but those odds just changed for the worse today.  I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Likewise I'd rather be a little uncomfortable at a movie because a gun is digging into my back than have to live with myself knowing that I could've saved my life or the life of another but chose to leave my gun at home.

Lastly, my thoughts and prayers go out to those murdered, injured, and affected by this shooting.

May God bring swift justice to the murderer and comfort those affected by this demonic event.

Religious Freedom Under Attack Again

Once again it seems that religious freedom has come under attack.

An Arizona man has been arrested, sentenced to 60 days in jail, and fined $12,180 after a police raid earlier this week for holding a bible study in his home.
Yep, you read that correctly.  He regularly held bible studies in his OWN home and the city thought it would be a good use of the taxpayer's hard earned money to arrest this man.

 John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute believes the family is being discriminated against because of their faith. . . “The thing that I think is so shocking is that you might expect this in Iran or [some place] around the world … but happening in the United States, this is so shocking it’s beyond belief.”  READ MORE>>>>

Of course the city alleges that it was merely a zoning issue and had some safety concerns, "we have concerns about people being able to exit the facility properly in case there is a fire." Better hope the city of Phoenix doesn't hear that you're going to have your daughter's birthday party at your own house this weekend.

A little more information on the situation.

MORE Big Sister Intimidation: $11k fine, possible arrest for defending your rights

The Florida Sun-Sentinel just reported that the TSA is refusing to back down on their unconstitutional infringment of 4th amendment rights of passengers that decide to fly the "friendly skies."

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is warning that any would-be commercial airline passenger who enters an airport checkpoint and then refuses to undergo the method of inspection designated by TSA will not be allowed to fly and also will not be permitted to simply leave the airport.

That person will have to remain on the premises to be questioned by the TSA and possibly by local law enforcement. Anyone refusing faces fines up to $11,000 and possible arrest.

More TSA Controversy: Woman Asked to Remove Prosthetic Breast

A woman, who works as a flight attendant, was asked to remove her prosthetic breast during one of TSA's "enhanced pat-downs". Read about it and see the video here: http://wewontfly.com/video-woman-made-to-remove-prosthetic-breast

House Overwhelmingly Supports Invasive DNA Database

The House of Representatives passed (by a 357 to 32 vote) a bill which would give funding to state governments to keep a database of all persons arrested (not convicted mind you) under the usual excuse... for your safety.

. . . "We should allow law enforcement to use all the technology available to them...to reduce expensive and unjust false convictions, bring closure to victims by solving cold cases, better identify criminals, and keep those who commit violent crime from walking the streets," said Rep. Harry Teague [(D-NM)]

. . . civil libertarians say DNA samples should be required only from people who have been convicted of crimes . . .  if there is probable cause to believe that someone is involved in a crime, a judge can sign a warrant allowing a blood sample or cheek swab to be forcibly extracted.

"It's wrong to treat someone as guilty before they're convicted," says Jim Harper, director of information policy studies at the Cato Institute. "It inverts the concept of innocent until proven guilty."  READ MORE>>>

 This is troubling news.

Interestingly enough, only Republicans (a small minority of them at that) opposed this bill. Of the two main parties, only Republicans care about your freedom and your privacy.

Another Example of Why USA > Europe

I just saw this article on Yahoo News (German protesters stop neo-Nazi march in Dresden).

At least 10,000 Germans formed a human chain in Dresden on Saturday and stopped neo-Nazis staging a funeral march to remember victims of the Allied air raid that flattened the city 65 years ago.

About 5,000 neo-Nazis, clad in black, had gathered at Dresden's Neustadt station -- where Nazis once packed trains with Jews bound for the Auschwitz concentration camp -- hoping to stage Germany's biggest far-right march since 1945. (notice the emphasis on "far-right")

In the past few years, the February 13 anniversary of the destruction of Dresden, in which 25,000 people were killed, has become a focus for neo-Nazis who describe the blanket bombardment as a "bombing Holocaust."

...
"Stopping the Nazi march was a great success for the Nazi Free Alliance Dresden," said Alliance spokeswoman Lena Roth.
...
Senior politicians from Dresden and the state of Saxony and a representative of the Central Council of Jews laid wreaths at a cemetery where the victims of the bombardment are remembered. READ MORE>>>

First, let me go on the record to say that I am by no means a supporter of Nazism or anti-semitism, but according to this article this was nothing more than a funeral march to remember the thousands that died in the incendiary bombing of Dresden.

While I'm sure Dresden had some military significance, one cannot dispute that certainly thousands of would have civilians died in the firebombing. Granted, I haven't seen any pictures which seem to indicate that this was anything other than a march to remember the victims that died in Dresden. (fancy that, no pictures to prove the left wrong)

Which brings us to one of the largest differences between Germany (or the rest of Europe) and the United States of America. Liberty.

Here in America most of us, I have to say that because there are some on the far-left (like in this story) that don't support free speech for groups that they don't like or for messages they don't agree with, will fight tooth and nail to support the Right To Free Speech even for groups which we disagree with or don't particularly like.

An interesting thing to note is that they supported the right for some groups to memorialize the dead, but apparently "neo-Nazi's" don't have that right.

Happy Thanksgiving

I thought you all might benefit from a little bit of nostalgia.

George Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to "recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:"

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.


Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789.

George Washington

So I got to thinking, How far has our nation come in the 220 years since our first Thanksgiving Proclamation? Could we honestly describe our National Government as a "blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed"?

Let's be thankful that America is the greatest country in the world (or at least I think so), but let's not let ourselves get complacent and forget just how far the apple's fallen from the tree of liberty.

Lastly, a political cartoon from Gary Farvel.

Can You Teach a 1st World Nation 2nd World Tricks

From The Observer

The article tells a poignant story that sounds all too familiar.

..."Last year three of my friends were caught smoking a spliff in a park and were treated like traffickers," he said. "They went to court, which took six months. One went to jail alongside murderers. The others were sent to rehab, where they were treated for an addiction they didn't have, alongside serious heroin and crack users. It was pointless and destroyed their lives."....

It's a story that I have witnessed first hand, and but for the grace of God it would've been true for myself.

The court's ruling was based on a case involving several men caught with joints in their pockets. As a result, judges struck down an existing law stipulating a sentence of up to two years in jail for those caught with any amount of narcotics. "Each individual adult is responsible for making decisions freely about their desired lifestyle without state interference," the ruling said. "Private conduct is allowed unless it constitutes a real danger or causes damage to property or the rights of others."

Is the "war on drugs" ending? The Argentinian ruling does not stand alone. Across Latin America and Mexico, there is a wave of drug law reform which constitutes a stark rebuff to the United States as it prepares to mark the 40th anniversary of a conflict officially declared by President Richard Nixon and fronted by his wife, Pat, in 1969.

That "war" has incarcerated an average of a million US citizens a year, as every stratum of American society demonstrates its insatiable need to get high. And it has also engulfed not only America, but the Americas...

Albert Einstein once said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

We've seen this story before in the early 20th century when groups had deemed alcohol unsafe for public use. This illegalization allowed unsavory entrepreneurs to transform into highly powerful gangsters.

The same is true today. We've taken a marginally harmful, although not useless plant, and made it illegal thus giving those that would produce and sell it a large profit margin.

In my opinion, just let the people have their weed but set reasonable restrictions on it much like we have for alcohol. If you want to reduce the amount of use look at the deeper reasons behind it's use and not the use itself.
