Such is the power of the label Al-Qaeda

that it immediately makes terrorists of those

fighting the evil and terrorism of the Empire itself

It validates and indeed obscures the high levels

of state sponsored terrorism of the US Empire

Such is the genius of those

who concoct enemies for a living

It would be 9/11 that would forever alter

the course of American history,

along with the psyches of her people,

becoming an untouchable, almost religious myth

whose original story was sacrosanct,

an untouchable story no matter

how unrealistic it was

Coming Soon

Yet another 9/11 anniversary, when Americans are fed the fiery rhetoric of imminent danger, a cocktail of fear, terror and warmongering to satisfy enemy-addicted knee-jerks.

The State media are hard at work concocting the trigger-happy bogeyman Americans are always too eager to declare war upon.

They are working overtime, using their control of the print, radio and television media, to condition us into accepting their version of reality.

Staying on message, the big lie is repeated over and over by this army of manipulators, attacking the airwaves, and thus our brains, in a constant stream of appearances.

Ignorant, ideological and delusional Machiavelli’s, this legion of propagandists is given free rein to saturate both televised and written media with their talking points.

They appear as “guests” on news shows, making the rounds, regurgitating the message their group wants disseminated, never being challenged, always having a loudspeaker from which to reach the masses.

Without merit, these operatives are placed as opinion writers, reporters and editors in America’s most influential magazines and newspapers, free to manipulate and condition the minds of readers, free to shift the nation’s discourse in a particular direction.

It was 9/11 that would forever alter the course of American history, along with the psyches of her people, becoming an untouchable, almost religious myth whose original story was sacrosanct, an untouchable story no matter how unrealistic it was.

Of course, 9/11 became a most fortuitous event to several entities, benefiting, first and foremost, the military-industrial-energy complex.

They were desperately in search of an enemy and a region to exploit, as well as those seeking American hegemony around the globe, and fitting perfectly with the master plans of the Likudnik neocons and their Project for a New American Century.

Thanks to 9/11, America had her new enemy, one evolved to suit the best interests of America’s warmongering class, one designed as a failsafe entity that could be counted on, in relative confidence, for a perpetual stream of conflict, war, destruction, hegemony, profit and power.

9/11 and its myth was needed to militarize the American masses into supporting the invasions and occupations of Middle East nations.

In that sense, 9/11 rapidly became a hyper-real event, staged specifically to manipulate the emotions and psychology of us in the expectation that we would march lock step with the warmongering aspirations of the state.


Its horrors were heightened and exploited to act as conduit between calls for revenge, hatred of the Muslim world, and acquiescence to pre-9/11 invasion plans.

9/11 ushering in a new American Century, just as the neocons had predicted, just as they had fortuitously envisioned.

Using the power of the State media and its battalions of propagandists, the psychological war was only just beginning.

9/11: Indoctrination Day

With the enthusiastic support of the 'State' Media, Bush has relentlessly used the deaths of 3000 people on 9-11 to justify the monstrous lies that took us into war, and the lies that keep us there.

Since that day he has ruled through signing statements and Executive Orders, setting himself above the US Constitution, the Justice System, the entire government. He IS the law -- the Decider, the Privileged Executive, the Tyrant.

Some say one branch of our corporate mainstream media is neither better nor worse than the other branches.

I disagree. Perhaps it's because News channels like CNN & Fox News are the Ministry of Truth's chief operatives, panting for war, death, and profit, lying -- "catapaulting Bush's propaganda," -- while portraying themselves as "Trusted Names in News."

'News' channels are very adept at transmitting fear and lies, fradulent polls, and false-flag alarms over and over and over again to cover up the crimes, treason and mass murder committed by the Bush Regime.

CNN is a good example. That automaton, Wolf Blitzer, rigidly controls what is aired -- spun -- on CNN as news in his "Situation Room" in the late afternoon and evening.
The rest of the 24-hour cycle is spent in news-team giggling, vacuous coverage of Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and sex predators on the MySpace website.

Did you know that yesterday there was an explosion in Dallas, a truck turned over in North Carolina, peanuts can kill you, obesity is contagious, and a cat roaming the halls of a nursing home points out who is next to die?

But this absurd little Machiavellian fool and the servile CNN courtiers who obediently spin his stupid slogans fail to realize that our freedom is not theirs to destroy.

Our children are not Bush's, as political philosopher Etienne de la Boetie so eloquently wrote in 1552-1553, "to be led into his battles, to be delivered to butchery, to be made the servants of his greed and the instruments of his vengeance."

Something happened on 9-11 -- something so horrible that the American people acquiesced for a time in their own subjection.

They will not succumb to their own destruction. Enough is enough.
