There's a good point here, though I just know it will be

lost by those who will jump to point out that the real story of Flight 93 is probably nothing like the official version.

Putting that aside, however, there's a vital point being made. All us "passengers" who have been riding the good ship "Duopoly" for too long are in dire straits, past the point of no return. If we just keep sitting in our seats, obediently hoping that the usual management will be able to bring the ship safely to port, we're going down.

Human nature

"When great changes occur in history,when great principles are involved, as a rule, the majority is wrong."

Sadly this Eugene V. Debs citing is rather accurate. Mores the point, I think, that we have been manipulated into acting like a herd of sheep by the failures of our system of education, by our desire to be treated as nothing more or less than a voracious consumer of cheap and shoddy little toys. Most of us, I fear, are so afraid to rock the boat lest what we have is taken away. Yet what we have is a lifetime of debt, incurred to purchase garbage that seldom lasts beyond the credit card debt we incur to purchase it.

"I do not believe in a fate that falls on men, however they act. But I do believe in a fate that falls on men unless they act."

GKChesterton

As long as we the people remain disinterested in politics, and the folks like John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, John Lennon even, show plainly that we can be induced to become passionate about politics by real leaders we will remain enslaved with the illusion of a nonexistent freedom.

"What lies before us and what lies behind us are insignificant compared to what lies within us."

I believe, as did Oliver Wendell Holmes, that committed people can move mountains. I believe in the ultimate ability of the American people to overthrow those who have corrupted our freedoms and used our increasing  disinterest in our democratic processes to build an empire for themselves. I believe that this will happen , and sooner rather than later.

Call me a cockeyed optimist but the increasing machinations, lies and distortions, the clumsy cover ups all point to the fact that we can change things. These people are entrenched but not  untouchable. They will certainly be within reach of the peoples justice.

Let's Roll out the truth

I don't believe 93 was hijacked. It was shot down. I don't believe terrorists were on the plane. They were victims shot down to add faces to the plan in robbing the 30 billion stored in vaults in the WTC complex.

No bodies were found at the crash site, and no blood. The crater was smaller than the size of impact a plane would cause. On the other hand if shot out of the sky, difficult to find pieces and debris.
