I am the enemy

“A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the Police State Dictatorship it's going to get.” Ian Williams Goddard.

After stonewalling, Bush finally succumbed and authorized an “official” 911 investigation chaired by that impartial seeker of truth, Henry Kissinger. Who quickly stepped down in order to avoid “conflict of interests” and was replaced by the director of oil giant Amerada Hess. Senator Max Cleland was the only member honest enough to speak out. “I'm not going to be part of just coming to quick conclusions. I'm not going to be part of political pressure to do this or not do that.” He promptly resigned.

Philip Zelikow and staff conducted the investigative work upon which the Commission relied. His many connections to Bush include being part of the president’s transition team and co-author of a book with Secretary Rice. The 911 Commission systematically excludes almost every fact that doesn't support the official story and contains enough falsehoods and contradictions to inspire multiple books.

Seven minutes before the South Tower disappeared into a cloud of rubble Battalion Chief Palmer reported “Ladder 15, we've got two isolated pockets of fire. We should be able to knock them down with two lines.” Yet the 911 Report claimed that the Tower fell, in part, due to a raging inferno, intense enough to melt steel columns. They then refused to interview any fire fighter, many who, to this very day, steadfastly insist they heard and witnessed multiple explosions, i.e. controlled demolitions, as the Towers fell.

I wonder why WTC7, a 47 story steel skyscraper suddenly collapsed, exhibiting all the features of a controlled demolition. Government propaganda blamed structural damage and subsequent fires. However, evidence documents no more than external damage and small isolated fires. Fire Engineering Magazine called the official investigation a “half-baked farce” while the 911 Commission Report does not even mention this catastrophe.

The Commission never answered why the Pentagon, armed with multiple anti-aircraft defenses and given ample warning, did not defend itself. Or why General Ralph Eberhart, in charge of air defense on 9-11, was promoted instead of court-martialed. There are 85 videotapes, including a crystal clear panorama of Flt. 77’s supposed flight path to the Pentagon that are concealed under lock and key. Judicial Watch spent over a year in court, evoking the Freedom of Information Act, and finally obtained only seven deeply flawed frames that merely fueled more controversy.

Thirteen days later the Patriot Act was rushed into law. Rushed thru Congress so fast that, to our democracy’s everlasting shame, only one Senator even read it. Only one! Two senators attempted to slow passage and were rewarded with letters containing anthrax. On that dark day our government betrayed everything we supposedly stand for, including every veteran, every brave soldier who fought for freedom and was maimed or killed in a hail of bullets.

Maimed and killed so “We the People” can sleep as America went to war based on lies, sleep as a tyrant repealed habeas corpus and can hold a citizen indefinitely in a secret facility or sentence based on evidence not heard, garnered from torture. Torture made legal, amnesty given to minions who inflicted the very evil that America stands against. We dream on as electronic voting machines, manufactured by corporations with obvious ties to the Bush Regime have literally stolen the last two elections. We slumber as our government monitored every call we made and refuses to publicly identify the law that grants the legal authority to tax us.

It may be too late to wake up. On 911 Bush established a “shadow government” moving dozens of senior officials (all members of his regime) to a secret underground location outside Washington. The Senate Majority Leader told the Washington Post that he had not been informed by the White House about the role, location or even the existence of this shadow government.

Meanwhile, there are over 600 fully operational prison camps in the United States. More are being built, manned and operated by FEMA, ready to receive prisoners should martial law be implemented. Army Regulation 210-35 “The Civilian Inmate Labor Program” codenamed “Operation Garden Plot.” states “This regulation provides policy and guidance for civilian inmate labor programs and civilian prison camps on federal installations.”

And who might be imprisoned behind barded wire? Under the Patriot Act Bush can label any citizen a domestic terrorist under the broad definition of “someone who breaks a state or federal law and endangers the welfare of others.” Plummeting directly into tyranny Annex A, Section B of Operation Garden Plot defines tax protesters (myself included), militia groups, religious cults, and general anti-government dissenters as disruptive elements. If Bush declares martial law, I am the enemy. From decorated veteran to prisoner in the time it takes to sign his name and arrest me.

But wait, millions of fellow tax protesters and general dissenters are going to require a lot more guards. No problem, tucked away in the current defense bill, without notice to the states, is a provision giving control of the National Guards to the Executive Branch. The Governor of Iowa called this unprecedented proposal one step away from a complete takeover of the National Guard.

Goethe warned us centuries ago that “None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”
