The Lies Of Our Leaders
Americans Believe It's No Longer Important To Tell The Truth
President Bush and virtually the entire American power structure lied to the whole world when they said Iraq possessed
weapons of mass destruction that were an imminent threat to the safety of the so-called free world.
Now beyond any doubt, these assertions have since been exposed as falsehoods. Still, few Americans really give a damn,
and business goes on, in the foreshadow of a massive worldwide economic collapse, as usual.
President Bush and virtually the entire American power structure lied when they said we needed to invade Afghanistan to
bring to justice the alleged perpetrators of the 9/11 horror. Shortly after the invasion began, Gen. Tommy Franks
announced it wasn't important to capture the so-called ringleader, Osama bin Laden, even as the Afghanis' Taliban
government offered to furnish him for trial in a neutral country. The real objective, Franks said during the attack, was
to subdue the whole country.
With the fictional al-Qaeda network still being used as a pretext for permanent war against the entire world by the
United States and bin Laden still uncaptured, it has become obvious to everyone that the reason for obliterating
Afghanistan with nuclear weapons and murdering tens of thousands of innocent people was something other than capturing a
suspected terrorist, although none of us are quite sure what that reason was. Talk of Enron, oil pipelines and
geopolitical strategies are generally censored from the television news.
The situation is identical is Iraq. What was the purpose of blasting several thousand innocents into heaven when the
situation it produced is actually more of a threat to our security than was the continued dictatorship of Saddam
Hussein? None of us are quite sure what that reason was, although we all have our favorite suspicions: oil, Israel,
expenditure of military stockpiles and creation of lucrative contracts for corporate supporters of the war machine to
revive a disintegrating American economy.
Those two lies — justifying depraved mass murder in two defenseless countries — now stand as the ranking horrors in
American history. In the 227 years of our history, from the smallpox blankets of Colonial days to Waco, America has done
nothing worse (although many military adventures, notably the Philippines in 1899 and Vietnam in the the 1960s, were
almost as bad and unjustifiable).
But the real question as America sinks into the suffocating hell of a totalitarian dictatorship is this.
If our leaders have been proved to be liars about the sick and sinful destruction of humanity in Afghanistan and Iraq,
why do a majority of Americans still accept what these same lying leaders said about the 9/11 atrocity, that it was the
work of foreign terrorists who envied our freedom! As Gerard Holmgren once so aptly said, this is the most ridiculous of
all conspiracy theories to believe.
To a special few, responsibility for the 9/11 butchery has always been obvious. Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote about the
need for it in a book, and the Republican-dominated Project for a New American Century recommended it as a desirable
event for achieving its goals.
But most simpleton Americans are afraid to even contemplate such a frightening possibility. They would prefer to
believe the lie, without really realizing what will happen to them if they do.
In the history of the world, there has never been a bigger lie than 9/11, yet most Americans still cling in
closed-minded terror to the official story, swallow their pride at airports as minimum-wage fascists probe their private
parts, stick flag decals on their cars in hopes they won't be pulled over and jailed for something they don't expect by
Ashcroft's new stormtroopers, and watch in numbed banality as the official government investigation begins by saying
they already know who did it, so there's no sense investigating that.
Americans have swallowed the lie whole-hog that we need to beef up security because there are terrorists in our midst,
when the obvious fact is that the terrorists reside in Washington, and are terrorizing the whole world, with the eager
help of your neighbors, the corrupt local police and corrupt local judges, who accept what their superiors order them to
do just as the guards at Auschwitz did.
Let that one roll through your mind: American cops are now just the guards at Auschwitz, participating in the
elimination of all those who won't participate in the American master plan of enslaving the world. Can you say death
chamber at Guantanamo with no real trial?
How can this possibly be happening? How can Americans have gone brain-dead all at once? It didn't happen overnight, I
can tell you. From the Kennedy assassination onward, Americans have been conditioned to accept phony excuses for
political crimes as protests and questions are all blunted in a mind-numbing miasma of bureaucratic mazes. So everyone
gave up trying to ask questions, and rationalized their indifference as not critical to my survival. Time to guess
again.
Even more disturbing than the murderous plans of Bush and his petronazi gang of Zionist manipulators is the silent
acquiescence of the so-called opposition. These "liberal" Democrats CREATED the Patriot Act, which castrates our
Constitution. These gutless bureaucrats, ever mindful of the need to attract corporate campaign contributions, went
along with Bush's invasions for fear of losing the votes of mindless, flag-waving fascist Americans.
Consider the Democratic opposition for a moment: Hillary Clinton, Kerry, Lieberman, Gephardt, Edwards, Dean,
Mosely-Braun, Sharpton — all but one of the Democratic candidates BACKED the military moves of Bush. And all of them —
no exceptions — endorse the lies we have been told about 9/11, as well as the fiction that Israel is a benevolent
democracy.
I get a big laugh out of all these calls for petitions on various issues. Ha. And the same goes double for all this
talk about the next election. Ha ha. The elections of 2000 proved Americans no longer have elections. It doesn't matter
who you vote for. Who they want to win will win, and they have both the technological expertise and the cash on hand to
make it happen. Just ask any Supreme Court justice.
Take your presidential candidate and stuff him. The American system of democracy is dead. The presidential campaign is
a sideshow to delude the American populace into thinking they still have choice about what happens.
Bulletin: they don't.
No one in Congress is telling the truth (OK, you might find one or two who are telling the truth about SOME things, one
less without Paul Wellstone, who was clearly murdered).
No candidate for any office anywhere in the United States is saying that 9/11 was a hoax, a cynical gambit to scare the
American people into accepting police state measures. That's why no candidate now running for any office is telling the
truth.
No one who thinks of running public office can seriously entertain the notion they can fix anything. Because to fix
anything, you have to dig into the big problems that keep the war machine afloat, principally the pervasive influence of
Judaism and Zionism, which have fatally infected most of the societies in the world with their manipulative brand of
behavioral bullshit, and undermined morality everywhere. When morality is relative, evil prevails, because temptation
and corruption are the human conditions.
No one running for public office will begin to address the obvious issue that 9/11 was aimed at defaming Muslims,
thereby legitimizing two horrible American crimes: the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians, and the conquest of all the
oil resources in the world.
And when the religions themselves have grown corrupt by their own power over people, there is no hope, anarchy follows
and chaos triumphs. There is no hope. That is the situation we now face.
Eventually, after thousands of photos of bloodied bodies, after all the uteruses of our soldiers' wives are bleeding
from the effects of radioactive ammunition, after you realize that one day you are out of money and there's nowhere to
get more because the fat cats have stolen it all and surrounded themselves with Wackenhut wackos, you'll come to the
realization about blame.
There's no real sense blaming Jews or Catholics, or oil executives or money launderers. We've done all this to
ourselves, simply by not paying attention to what's actually happening.
It isn't Bush or Daschle who are the real scumbags, the real killers of innocent people in the pursuit of profit. It's
nobody us but us, we the intelligent citizens of the world who failed to pay attention, or took a bribe, or looked the
other way when we saw somebody doing something wrong because it was easier that way.
It is we who kept our mouths shut during all those scams, Vietnam, the savings and loan robbery, Waco, 9/11. We were
too afraid to ask real questions, and thought we could get by waving our flags and going along with the crowd. But each
new government atrocity got worse, right up through 9/11.
And, sadly, the worst has yet to come.
It's too late now. Nothing can be done. They can't be stopped. We waited too long. We waited until they had amassed
their armies, their biological identification devices, their roadblocks, their internment camps for protesters, the
death penalty in Oregon for protesting, their genetically modified food supply (guaranteeing billions of needless
deaths), their aluminumization of our atmosphere, their privatization of our water, their shaping of our very brains
through Zionist educational philosophies and Zionist entertainment programming until our minds were so zapped out on
misleading trivialities that we couldn't even ask the most basic question of all anymore.
Which is this.
Why couldn't we see this would happen because we didn't pay attention to all those other horrors?
Why didn't we know you can't turn your back on the world, and expect the world to still be there when you turn back
around?
There is no forgiveness, and no way to put things right without a massive bloodbath now. Which is just what they
wanted, just what they practice. They've won. And we've lost.
But don't blame it on the lies of our leaders. Blame it on the lies we told — and are still telling — ourselves.
