CONT'D - 9/11 - Pitch Black Void
They are, like 9/11, a figment of our imaginations,
nightmares of our conditioned minds, stories meant to
frighten us into giving away more of our freedoms and
liberties. Sadly, however, these mechanisms seem to be
working brilliantly.
All this time we have been looking to the Middle East
for the dreaded terrorist, yet since 9/11 we should have
been looking for terrorists within our own shores. It is
the Bush corporatist and neocon cabal that is the real
terrorist organization. It is they, a bunch of
miscreants of the highest order, criminal minds addicted
to power, wealth and greed, arrogant and monstrous in
behavior, that are the cause of terror worldwide. It is
they that have made our nation less safe, not more. It
is they who are guilty of committing mass murder upon
our shores and it is they who will not hesitate to
murder many more if it suits their needs.
It is because of them that the so-called war on terror
paralyzes and controls us. It is they that spawned it
and continue nurturing it, carefully rearing it like a
mother does a child, ever so proud of what it has
become, looking forward to the greatness it can one day
turn into. The war on terror is their brainchild, a
creation designed to replicate its malevolent energy
over and over, growing and expanding through the vicious
cycle of hatred born and murder committed, repeated
until a clash of cultures, civilizations and religions
sustains and engorges it, creating the controlled chaos
needed to satisfy the delusion of the Project for the
New American Century.
The so-called war of terror is a figment of their
imagination, now lingering in ours, a creation that has
become a self-fulfilling prophesy. It was a war started
by the cabal, a result of our foreign policy and our
destruction of both people and land abroad, a vicious
cycle that feeds itself more and more with each new
death inflicted by our corporate controlled military.
For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction, for every death or maiming the thirst for
vengeance grows; for every brutal occupation calls for
hatred and revenge arise. With every American made
missile launched, artillery exploded, bullet released
the war on terror is assured of new recruits, new
reactions of opposite and intended consequences. This is
the war on terror’s mantra, its slogan, the law created
by the cabal so that it never ends, just as it never
began. The war on terror is designed to last into
perpetuity, for America always needs an enemy to quench
its war culture thirst. It always needs war and enemies
to cause fright among the populace, the easier to
control millions. War means profit, wealth and the
sustained viability of the economy. In America, war, and
thus enemies, is good for business.
The war on terror is but an illusion, a concoction
disseminated by the Bush cabal and its journalist hacks
to control the population into submission, into forcing
us to abandon the freedoms and democracy we once
enjoyed. We are being frightened by the cabal of
terrorists using the corporate media and government
loudspeakers, our strength and courage evaporating with
each new terror threat or warning, with each new sermon
advocating still another war of choice. We are being
used and abused, our lives transformed, slowly but
surely, methodically creating a “new normal,” an
American police state, an authoritarian system full of
followers, full of yes-men and women, full of sheep and
lemmings, unable to comprehend how we allowed our nation
to become the reality of our nightmares.
We must open our eyes to the reality of the Bush cabal.
They are the real terrorist organization. They are the
murderers and the criminals, the destroyers of life and
the butchers of the Middle East. They are preparing us
for perpetual war, for a future devoid of security or
freedom or democracy. The war on terror will not end;
our troops will be in Iraq for decades to come; wars
against Iran and Syria have been planned. There will be
many more 9/11’s to come, some real and some concocted,
yet the next one will undoubtedly open the doors to a
perpetual police state, altering dramatically our way of
life, making George Orwell roll in his grave. According
to the cabal of terrorists, it is inevitable.
One more attack on our soil is all it will take for the
bastion of democracy and freedom to turn into the
cesspool of authoritarian rule. The cabal of terrorists
is looking for an excuse, an opportunity. How many of us
will die this time? How many of our children will be
sent to the next war(s)? How many liberties will we have
left? How many of our friends and neighbors will be made
to disappear? Will we accept their rule, and continue
fighting a charade, or will we finally put an end to
this madness? Will we change our ways, or will we
continue living like the sheep and lemmings we are being
conditioned to become?
We must put a stop to the madness before the madness
puts a stop to us. We must reclaim America from the
claws of authoritarianism and corporatism. We must show
we are not pawns or patsies in the games the neocons
play. We must show we are brave and strong, not fearful
and weak. They are few, we are many. Truth and fairness
and justice are on our side; karma and malevolence on
theirs. The time for indifference and passivity are
over. Enough fear mongering and war making, enough
terror threat manipulation. We must show that we do not
hate, that we actually think for ourselves, that we seek
peace and international harmony. Enough death and
suffering has gone on in our name. America is being made
the laughing stock of the world, hated like never
before, stirring anger and boiling rage for all we allow
to happen. Only this time, the peoples of the world no
longer differentiate between the government and the
people. We are all hated now. The time to take a stand
is now, for if not now, when? We were once loved and
admired, respected and an inspiration. Let not five
years of disarray become a lifetime of disaster. We know
who the real terrorists are. It is up to us to show them
that their America is not our America. It is time we
show them the door out of the country.
Their America is not our America, for we are the People
of the World; they but the Scourge of Humanity. We are
Peace and they are War, they are few and we are many,
many more.
