9/11 See other 9/11 Articles Title: 911, Truth, And Lies More than any event in modern history September 11th, 2001 has changed the face of American society and literally of the world. From the dreadful events of that day have come wars, bloodshed, hatred, and a building rationale for the evisceration of the principles espoused by Thomas Jefferson “that all men are created equal and are endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. ... But what occurs when that consent is deformed by lies and subterfuge, or disregarded altogether? What, when a long train of abuses and usurpations has occured, founded upon lies and the deforming of public opinion to give apparent consent to actions inimical to our heritage and traditions? We lie now at a crossroads in human history. If the lie is allowed to stand the path is one of greater darkness, and a descent into blood, death, and misery. We have seen the fires of hatred and passion inflamed, but to what direction? The events of that day, 11 September 2001, have been used as justification for all manner of insult and ills perpetrated upon a once proud and free people. We have entered into foreign wars where millions have died, we have seen this justification used to impose upon our sacred rights and to fashion for the American People, and the world, chains and collars. That these chains and collars are fashioned of words and deceptions make them no less restraining. I hear it said that it is patriotic to stand in war and to kill for those who tell these lies, but really where lies the justification in that? Is one noble merely because one kills? Or does nobility of spirit rise more from the stand that says all men and women should breathe free? Patriotism is not its bizarro reflection Jingoism. True patriotism means one desires the best for his people and his country. This may on occasion require a stand against death to defend ones people and their lands, and this can be noble when one places duty before life. However, does one truly stand in defense when the reason for the fight is a lie? Does one gain nobility from fighting and dieing under a flag of false prentenses? Does one gain nobility by killing men, women, and children who have done you no wrong merely because someone points an accusatory finger in their direction? That is why knowing the truth of 911 is not just nice but vital. It is vital to well being of the people and this nation, but as well it is vital in the defense of freedom itself. This event has reverberated a world over and stands as justification for events ranging well beyond the borders of that nation called America. And this freedom is not just that of the American People, but of peoples around the world. For this nation has been the great beacon. It has been the light that said, that which was said never before in all of human history, that the common man and woman have a right to freedom and that it is not just the province of a privileged few. Along with freedom comes responsibility. It is inescapable and essential to freedom. It is a companion that demands that each man and woman should not shirk their duty to self, to family, to nation, and to humanity. No people can remain free without accepting that they are responsible not just for themselves, but for their neighbors, and for the actions of their government. Conscience is the recognition that one can do right or wrong, and the effect of that conscience varies with ones acceptance of responsibility and with that the awareness that one has done right or wrong. The great French Writer Albert Camus once commented: ”The truth is cruel, but it can be loved, and it makes free those who have loved it.” The only thing crueler than the truth is to live a life founded upon lies. And so the truth of 911 is not just a “nice” thing to know it is an essential thing to know. It is not my point here to recount all of the evidences that support my conclusions. Others have done that in great volume and to often eloquent extent. No person who is honest with themselves, and who has taken the time to inform themselves can reach any conclusion other than that 911 was an inside job. Its reasoning ultimately quite simple. Neither the American People, nor the world, would have stood for or accepted the actions which followed were it known that it was conducted by political elements to provide excuse for the elimination of our freedoms or wars of foreign conquest, and the murder of millions of innocents. Facing that truth is a heavy burden, but it is a burden which must be borne. What has been laid at the feet of this event are actions which cut to the very heart of what it means to be a free society governed by the people themselves, and of their rights. So, for all of the actions for which it is given as justification a knowledge of the reality cannot be evaded by any who would live free.
