Are You Brainwashed?
"Are you brainwashed? What about some of your neighbors, are they brainwashed? Before you answer, let us ask you a few questions. Do you believe that the United States was struck by a terrorist attack on Sept. 11? Do think that the people behind that attack were ``Arabs'' and that its ``mastermind'' was this fellow Osama bin Laden, operating from the cave of Afghanistan? Do you believe that the way to stop terrorism is to hit them hard, to hit them at their ``bases'' in such places as Afghanistan, and to hit the nation's that might sponsor them, like, say Iraq? And what about the economy, do you think that the recent fall of the stock market and the weakness in the economy have been caused by the Sept. 11 attacks? Well, if you answered yes to any of these questions, you probably are brainwashed? If you answered yes to more than one, you are definitely a ``goner.'' "
Nearly everyone around here would count as brainwashed, I am sad to say. The local MP is happy to keep selling the story.
Slowly, slowly, slowly, more information escapes the net of Cheney's control. I no longer think I am a paranoid conspiracy theorist when I doubt the public face of 911.
One of the more convincing new bits of evidence that has emerged is that the piece of engine that fell out of the sky from the towers and was found at least partly intact was from a 737 not a 767 as claimed.
We have known for a long time that whatever hit the pentagon was not a big jet.
Security men removed all video real-time evidence of that crash immediately after it happened.
Does that not tell you something, dear reader.
The news reel coverage of the lawn infront of the pentagon shows no signs of a crashed plane.
We have also heard how American fighter planes, which could have been sent towards the hijack planes were sent in the opposite direction.
And what of the 40 pages of the report that are published blank, because they focus on Mr Bush's friends the Saudis, who provided the men to do the supposed hijacking.
We know that only a tiny force was sent to Afghanistan to tackle Bin Laden, the supposed enemy mastermind, and that he has not been caught.
We know now that the real target for attack, the supposed retaliation, was always Iraq, even before 911.
We know now that Bush and Blair were aware how thin the WMD case for war was, and that it was spun into arsenic candy floss for us all to swallow.
Scott Ritter, the UN arms inspector who told us there were no weapons long before the war now tells us that Iran will be hit in June.
Other sources say the Israelis will be used, just as they were to destroy Saddam's nuclear programme years ago.
Now we are hearing of a killing made on the stock market by insiders who knew about 911.
Terrorists of course!
Except they appear to be connected to Israelis.
Or is that just another slur on Israel?
Maybe we will find out.
Don't hold your breath.
They even managed to hush up the stock market crash at the time.
