excerpt:
This isn't about party, it isn't about Bush Bashing. It about our country.
The following is not a great analogy, but it will have to do.
Suppose you went on vacation and asked your neighbor to watch your house -
gave him a key. You get a call while away and it's your neighbor describing
how some burglers were seen going through your house. You rush home find
your house ransacked with lots of breakage, and go next door to talk to the
neighbor. He tells you that he called the police that night but it took them
an hour and 1/2 to get there, even though the police station is a couple of
blocks away. You notice some objects in his living room that look like stuff
you had. In fact his kids are wearing clothes you swear were in your
children's closets. You quiz him closer and ask him to describe the thieves.
They are all 5'10" and have beards, and were wearing black masks, and there
were 19 of them. Nobody else saw them. You notice your neighbor has a new
TV - he has often admired your set - and it is just like yours that was
taken. The police don't have any record of any calls at the time the
burglers were allegedly there. Your front door has no damage and they can't
find out how the thieves could have got in. Then after a while you notice
little lies being told by the neighbor, about other things. He claims that
he returned all the tools he borrowed from you and bought some just like
them, but you can't find yours.
Are you suspicious yet?
You just check the serial numbers of the TV to match against your paper
records and find they have been filed off. Is it worth investigating?
Are you a conspiracy theorist if you want to know more about what went on
while you were away? Is it unreasonable to ask for explanations of the false
statements? If your neighbor won't look you in the eye, and won't talk to
you without his lawyer (or his vice president), is that anything to worry
about? If you notice the local police chief wearing a suit just like you
used to have, right down to the loose inside button, are you paranoid?
The circumstances above would produce confusion and doubts in the best of
us. Who can you trust? What if the cops are just part of a crime ring? Then
imagine that it isn't your neighborhood, but it's your country. A place you
thought you knew and in which you felt safe. Your countrymen have been
murdered and the more you delve into it the more it looks as though they
were murdered by our government, who used it as an excuse to murder other
people thousands of miles away.
If you ridicule others who have sincere doubts and who know factual
information that directly contradicts the official report and who want
explanations from those who hold the keys to our government, and have
motive, means, and opportunity to pull off a 9/11, but you are too lazy or
fearful, or ... to check into the facts yourself, what does that make you?
Scholars for 9/11 truth have developed reams of scientific data. Michael
Ruppert published an exhaustive account of the case from the viewpoint of a
trained investigator. David Ray Griffin provides a context for the
unanswered or badly answered questions that should nag at anyone who
pretends to love this country.
Are you afraid that you will learn the truth and you can't handle it? I
think I know some people in that category. Are you afraid you will draw the
attention of thugs who could do the things that were done that day? Do you
believe your fellow man is just not capable of that degree of evil? I would
not have believed that my country would ever become a torture state and have
the Congress arguing with the executive about it. I thought that Habaes
Corpus was fundamental to our civil rights, and now I find that it is not. I
thought my country stood for honorable dealings with other nations, then
watch a jingoistic cheerleading orgy on TV, composed like Oscar night, with
the centerpiece a campaign of "Shock and Awe" as our armed forces invade a
practically defenseless nation, without provocation, while considerable
doubt of the validity of the reasons for that invasion exists. Our fearless
leader clings to lies until they are untenable and then disowns them as
though he never spoke them. We, who can pillory a president of one party for
lying about sex cannot call to account a repeated and habitual liar of
another who sends more than 3100 of our soldiers to their deaths - for what?
