It means facing what fools we are, what cowards we are, not to call a spade a spade. It means seeing through the pious cloak of false Christianity and false patriotism that Bush assumed.
It means noticing that 9-11 gave the excuse for taking away every ounce of precious freedom our forefathers fought so hard to obtain.
It means looking frankly at our helplessness, our gullibility, our willingness
to accept any form of hypocrisy, as long as we are allowed to go on shopping.
Sixteen years after 9-11, We the People are starting to recognize that we, too,
have power. We've preserved internet
freedom, stopped the TPP, the Keystone Pipeline, and now the Dakota Access
Pipeline.
We've seen through the lies that took us into Iraq, and understand more about
Bush's hypocrisy, and willingness to "fix the facts around the
policy" as the Downing Street memo puts it. Osama was another convenient
"fact", like WMD's in Iraq. Why can't we finally acknowledge that the
whole story of 9-11 was a lie, an inside job?
It allowed the Bush administration to do away with habeas corpus,
institute mass surveillance, and found the Department of Homeland Security,
which has trained law enforcement throughout the country to violate human
rights in the name of stopping terrorism.
We.have been blessed with the internet, with which to hunt for the truth,
disseminate it, work with one another to reach new depths of understanding of
our situation. Isn't it time to indict
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest for their crimes, and restore the Bill of
Rights?
