Which side are we on?

The country is a eerie place right now, or maybe it always has been. When we review the past deeds of our Government, it is chilling. Any of you who know me, or this blog, know I care deeply, but we are in distress right now. Whether the shock and awe is a act of war, a natural disaster, or criminal politicians, it is worrisome. Dissenters are told to sit down and shutup by people who either wish we had not done the research, or the one who have not lifted a finger to understand what the consequences could be. When I listen to diplomats, politicians, activists, weapons inspectors, military analysts speak, I seek rationale speak, there are only a few cohevise individuals. I have been revisting Operation Northwoods, and I truly believe we fall for the hoax to line the pockets of the powerful.

When, or if when, we seek out leadership, we must be informed. Unfortunately, we generally are not. I really fear for my country's future. The American Dream, that's what it has become for many, a dream. We need to wake up, and elect principaled leaders. If we do, we can concentrate on issues and not worrying about gaffes, or "flip-flop", or sex scandals. This is not a partisan issue, this is a We the People issue. I heard a co-worker make comment about Detroit's embattled Mayor, who is mired in scandal. She said, "Someone just ought to shoot him", I was beside myself, and responded "Umm, we do have something called the Bill of Rights, and we have courts". It got uglier as the converssation continued, she said "Fuck the Bill of Rights". That is, as un-american as calling the Constitution a "goddamn piece of paper". This is where we have arrived. If don't like him or her, just shoot 'em! WTF? Is this the American Dream we are being taught now? I hope not. When we look at our incumbent politicians, whether they are Democratic or Republican, are you reviewing their votes? Are they listening to you when you call their office? If we collectively get up off our asses, recognize what is being done by people we elected, and hold their feet to the fire, we may see some results. On the other hand, we could just let the GOP and Blue Dog Dems dig our country deeper into debt, and depression.

    Well you have fallen for a hoax, a scam to sell books on big giant conspiracies to the gullible. Bullshit is bullshit, be it right wing or left wing.

    James Bamford is wrong on so many levels it is hard to know where to start, Maybe he missed the part where Bin Laden said 9//1 was an Al Qieda operation, That Bin Laden never was a CIA "Asset". http://usinfo.state.gov/media/Archive/2005/Jan/24-318760.html

    The idea that soemof the hijackers are still alive is down right stupid. If you were constructing a fake terrorist attack because you wanted to attack Afghanistan, or Iraq, then wouldn’t you involve a few Afghans or Iraqis? no, we’re supposed to believe that they made them inconvenient Saudis. Worse still, the planners picked live Saudis almost at random, despite the fact that they’d be sure to come forward and spoil the whole thing.

    What’s more, all these stories occurred very soon after 9/11. Once the FBI released their official list of hijackers, complete with photographs, these stories disappeared. This suggests they were only ever a mixup over names, and once the photos appeared as well these individuals realised they weren’t wanted men after all.

    A BBC story is constantly cited as evidence that some of those named as the hijackers are still alive, for instance, but the company has now said it was just a “confusion over names and identities”.

    Could go on and on with this.

    Bamford so called "Source'' http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/hoax.html. a nut job conspiracy theorist site!

    What next? the moon landing was fake?
