what lies beneath...

I'm always impressed with someone like Tarpley, who can see behind the scenes and stare the truth right in the face without blinking. A lot of people who talk about 9/11 only go so far in terms of their understanding of the whos and whys. And I was in that category for a while, too. I used to think Bush was involved somehow, and that it was all about oil. It's much deeper than that. Tarpley's book is a revelation in this regard, because it points out the existence of networks of moles, patsies, and professional killers that most likely made 9/11 happen, and the fact that these networks have been around for a long time. They go back to Iran/Contra, MLK, Kennedy, and even before that.

You have to scratch the surface and find out what lies beneath. I was reading part of James Loewen's excellent new book called Sundown Towns recently. At one point, he mentions someone who had tried to infiltrate the KKK, and this person had to make some sort of an oath involving abortion. The KKK was insisting that its members be adamantly anti-abortion, in order to insure the dominance of white people, just in terms of population. I read that and I thought, wow, okay, now I understand why so many people in the U.S. are 'pro-life.' It's not necessarily because they're so moved by the plight of the precious unborn. Maybe that's just the PR angle. Maybe the awful truth has more to do with racism. Maybe it's all about keeping white people on top. As if we have anything to worry about!

You certainly can't say you're a racist anymore, but you can say you're "pro-life,"' or you're for "states' rights," or whatever. And everyone knows what the Confederate flag means! You see that on someone's car, and you know they're not exactly happy about civil rights...

I guess my point here is that there are things we don't want to talk about or confront, but that we must, if society is going to improve. Just like we don't want to admit that there were and still are towns in the U.S. where black people are not welcome after the sun goes down, we don't want to admit that 9/11 was not the convenient myth that was peddled to us almost five years ago.

Those towns do exist. One of them is Anna, Illinois, where you can drive past a mailbox with a black donkey on it. Do you know what that means? It's code for "get your black ass out of town." You can also drive past signs that say "Lord Jesus, keep us clean and pure." Get it? And another one that says, "Pride goeth before destruction." And just a few miles away, in southeast Missouri, as you head into Cape Girardeau (the town where Rush Limbaugh was born), there is an enormous billboard on the highway that says "VOTE PRO-LIFE." Is this coincidence? I don't think so.

When you actually see this stuff, and inform yourself, you start to see things a lot differently. When you see the news footage on 9/11 that was never repeated, boy is that a revelation. When you read the books and articles and listen to the lectures, it all starts to come together. And then you can't believe what you believed before. You just can't. You know too much.

And then you get screaming mad, thinking about those poor souls who jumped out of the Twin Towers, and all the others who died that day, violently, needlessly. And the ones who keep dying in this endless "war" in Iraq.

This 9/11 truth movement is all about them.
