'System Power involves authoritarian or institutionalized permission to behave in prescribed ways or to forbid and punish actions that are contrary to them. It provides the "higher authority" that gives validation to playing new roles, following new rules, and taking actions that would ordinarily be constrained by pre-existing laws, norms, morals, and ethics. Such validation usually comes cloaked in the mantle of ideology. Ideology is a slogan or proposition that usually legitimizes whatever means are necessary to attain an ultimate goal. Ideology is the "Big Kahuna," which is not challenged or even questioned because it is so apparently "right" for the majority in a particular time and place. Those in the program present the program as good and virtuous, as a highly valuable moral imperative.
'The programs, policies, and standard operating procedures that are developed to support an ideology become an essential component of the System. The System's procedures are considered reasonable and appropriate as the ideology comes to be accepted as sacred.
'During the era when fascist military juntas governed around the world from the Mediterranean to Latin America, from the 1960's to the 1970's, dictators always sounded their call to arms as the necessary defense against a "threat to national security" allegedly posed by socialists or Communists. Eliminating that threat necessitated state-sanctioned torture by the military and civil police. It also legitimized assassination by death squads of all suspected "enemies of the state."
'In the United States at the present time, the same alleged threats to national security have frightened citizens into willingly sacrificing their basic civil rights to gain the illusion of security. That ideology in turn has been the centerpiece justifying a peacetime war of aggression against Iraq. That ideology was created by the System in power, which in turn created new subordinate Systems of war management, homeland security management, and military prison management --or the absence thereof, in default of serious postwar planning.
'My scholarly fascination with the mind control strategy and tactics outlined in George Orwell's classic novel 1984 should have made me aware of System power sooner in my professional life. "Big Brother" is the System that ultimately crushes individual initiative and the will to resist its intrusions....'
I MAINTAIN HERE THAT the real meaning and purpose of 9/11 is contained in the penultimate paragraph above.
"In the United States at the present time, the same alleged threats to national security have frightened citizens into willingly sacrificing their basic civil rights to gain the illusion of security."
What 9/11 did was it created "alleged threats to national security" which "frightened citizens into willingly sacrificing their basic civil rights to gain the illusion of security."
I MAINTAIN HERE THAT the main purpose of 9/11 was to frighten the American citizenry. None were more frightened than New Yorkers, to be sure.
It was important to fighten us (from the governemnt's point of view) SO THAT new policies an procedures could be implemented whereby American citizens "willingly sacrificing their basic civil rights to gain the illusion of security."
Security is an illusion in this country.
Although our government officials will deny it, as was the case in George Orwell's novel, 1984, 9/11 and the objective behind 9/11 was predicated upon the notion that "Big Brother" can "crush individual initiative and the will to resist its intrusions." This may be what Rumsfeld was talking about when he talked about the "battle of wills" in this country and in the world today after 9/11. In the United States, where the will of the individual to determine his own life pursuits and his own form of governemnt prevails, this objective is bound to fail. Over the long term, "Big Brother" can never succeed. In a schoolyard, it's only a matter of time before a bully is taught a lesson. http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/feeling/emotion/bullies.html

But how long the bullying is allowed to continue can determine whether the bystanders are legally culpable as well --for failing to stop it.

I'm talking about George W. Bush. By 2007, principally with the help of a colaition of elite supporters motivated out of profit and personal gain, the current President of the United States, arguably the most powerful man in the world, had deceived the American people, undermined the American elections process, usurped the presidency, openly violated the U.S. Constituion, openly violated international and domestic law, human rights, and civil liberties, and eviscerated both the legislative and judicial branches of our government. By 2007, he had conducted massive genocidal programs around the world, and thus brought the wrath of nations upon the people of the United States. We, the People of the United States will pay for his swashbuckling adventures of bullying and megalomania--not him. We the People will pay for the havoc he has wreaked, for the chaos, hell, and lawlessness he has unleashed, for the flouting of both domestic and international law, for his complete desecration of humanity around the world. His actions have proven to be much more than mere "frontier justice," a euphemism for lawlessness, Texas-style. Some of us have already paid --even with our lives and the lives of our loved ones. But the worste is yet to come.
Remember the Cold War? How many nuclear weapons were stashed in the United States by the KGB during the Cold War? 200? Or, was it 700? Anybody count them? 700 is the number of "nuclear suitcases" manufactured by the Soviets during the '60's and 70's, according to Paul L. Williams in his book, Osama's Revenge: THE NEXT 9/11 : What the Media and the Government Haven't Told You. http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1591022525/ref=sib_dp_pt/104-7480056-4795128#reader-link You can read more about it here: http://www.unitedstatesaction.com/suitcase-nuclear.htm The article goes on to say that, in addition to the 700, "hundreds more" were manufactured in the 80's. Anybody know what happened to those approximately 1000 or more nuclear suitcase bombs manufactured by the Soviets? Hey, did we bother to get the locations of the buried Soviet nuclear devices from the Russians when the Soviet Union made a "legal name change?" (--see Richard A. Clarke, Against All Enemies) Who needs al Queda when we've got Russian nuclear weapons buried all across the United States, and when we've got over a thousand nuclear suitcase bombs floating around the world to worry about? Oh, shhhh!!! Don't tell them --maybe they won't think of it!! Hmmm.... I wonder if any of them were sold on the open market.... Naw, why would anyone do that? For profit and personal gain? Come on, people have more principles than that, right? Not.
