9/11

I saw the theory proposed today that the intent of 9/11 was the creation of the Patriot Act.  Now, many overlapping stories can occur.  It may be that the Saudis played a role because they wanted Iraq dealt with, since Iraq had already threatened them in the past.  It may be that Dick Cheney and his 1% doctrine (if there is a 1% chance we will be hit by a WMD we have to treat it as 100%, or something close to that) thought that only with mass surveillance could we stop the inevitable nuclear attack on America.

But both of these agendas, obviously, dovetail to perfection with the notion of creating an Orwellian surveillance state, which is what we live in today.  This blog post is being downloaded and recorded by the NSA.  Unless they see some reason to think it important enough to read, it will simply be saved for future reference, and filed under my name, which they obviously know.  They know everything about me: where I live, my phone number, my work history, my tax record, who at least my on-line friends are, my political views, a rough or perhaps very specific psychological profile, etc.

How did this come to be?  Well, Oklahoma City, which has at least the fingerprints of a government cover-up all over it, even if it may not have been planned by the government.  Here is my treatment from some years ago: https://moderatesunitedblog.com//2014/05/oklahoma-city-was-cover-up.html

And then of course 9/11, which I have covered in a number of posts.  The standard story is a lie.  Not possibly, not probably: CERTAINLY, beyond any possible doubt.  An impartial court would find this 100 times out of 100.

To transfer great power to the government–and in particular to unelected functionaries whose names by and large are top secret–one must have great fear.  9/11 created great fear.

If we survive this era with our freedoms intact, future historians will be utterly unable to understand how so many of us were so fucking stupid.
