Here, here brother!! Many aren't comfortable with looking into it because it shatters their perfect lil picture of the world. Only the brave can face such things. I have investigated the conspiracy sites, the de-bunking sites, read the 9/11 commission report...and I came to the conclusion that, yeah, there is A LOT we are not being told.
"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
--Hermann Goering(1893-1946) Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, President of the Reichstag, Prime Minister of Prussia and, as Hitler's designated successor, the second man in the Third Reich.
Best wishes,
A fellow truther!

Individual freedom is the dream of our age. It's what our leaders promise to give us, it defines how we think of ourselves and, repeatedly, we have gone to war to impose freedom around the world. But if you step back and look at what freedom actually means for us today, it's a strange and limited kind of freedom.
Politicians promised to liberate us from the old dead hand of bureaucracy, but they have created an evermore controlling system of social management, driven by targets and numbers. Governments committed to freedom of choice have presided over a rise in inequality and a dramatic collapse in social mobility. And abroad, in Iraq and Afghanistan, the attempt to enforce freedom has led to bloody mayhem and the rise of an authoritarian anti-democratic Islamism. This, in turn, has helped inspire terrorist attacks in Britain. In response, the Government has dismantled long-standing laws designed to protect our freedom.
The origins of our contemporary, narrow idea of freedom.
shows how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today's idea of freedom. This model was derived from ideas and techniques developed by nuclear strategists during the Cold War to control the behaviour of the Soviet enemy.
Mathematicians such as John Nash developed paranoid game theories whose equations required people to be seen as selfish and isolated creatures, constantly monitoring each other suspiciously – always intent on their own advantage.
This model was then developed by genetic biologists, anthropologists, radical psychiatrists and free market economists, and has come to dominate both political thinking since the Seventies and the way people think about themselves as human beings.
However, within this simplistic idea lay the seeds of new forms of control. And what people have forgotten is that there are other ideas of freedom. We are, in a trap of our own making that controls us, deprives us of meaning and causes death and chaos abroad.

Most are already spinning in their graves. They would be very upset that this President sees himself as above the law and thinks that the document they spent a great deal of effort to carefully get right, the Constitution, is just a God Damn piece of paper to him.

Our founding fathers would be wondering why we, with our well-regualted militias, hadn't challenged the leadership in this country a long, long time ago!! That is the exact reason that we were given the "right" to keep and bear arms.
They are rolling over in their graves now..........they never envisioned this as a country where the government "decided" everything for its people!!!!

You mean our forefathers like Abe Lincoln who suspended habius corpus during the civil war so he could ARREST anti war activists without do process.....or maybe Truman who set up Japaneese American internment camps to protect the country.
I think our forefathers would think he was being led by the liberals in this country.

You must be the last person on Earth to think 9/11 was a conspiracy. I was friends with the co-pilot of one of the planes that hit the towers. He would have known if the airplane was rigged with explosives. Why would the government want to blow up the WTC, and cause the stock market to plummet? We had plenty of reasons to go to war with Al Qaeda? Especially considering the fact that ever since Woodrow Wilson was president, we have been involved in some conflict in the Middle East.

Our forefathers would be turning over in their graves at the current corruption in politicians and their lack of accountability to the voting citizens.

They would think Bush, as well as all our representatives for the past 30 years have handed this great nation over to a foreign country. They would scorn out spineless "leaders" and pity We The People, for we know not what is upon us.

they would be embarrased. I'm just wondering if the president is going to let his friends raise the price of gas this summer to make it difficult for the citizens of this great land to take a vacation. I hope he at least enjoys his freebeeis on us.
