In Our Name

The main problem with the official "story" of what happened on 9-11 is that almost all of it is impossible. Physical laws cannot be suspended, and the disregard of physical laws is only part of the obvious CorpoGov...complicity-at-the-very-least. Most people desperately wanting to believe the official story because the alternative is so unthinkable, are the same people still believing that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9-11-even after CorpoGov, who originally strived to have them believe that, later "pretty much" reversed that claim (except for Cheney, who still likes to hint that Saddam was involved.)  Most of these people actually seem to want to believe The Terrorists hate us for what we are, not what we do, and would be astonished to know what CorpoGov has done in their name.

So who is the target of "blowback", a term used by the CIA since 1953 when we overthrew Mossadeq in Iran which prompted, and among other things, the hostage crisis? The American people are the target, not the imperial predator that caused the blowback. Mossadeq wanted Iranians to benefit most from their own oil resources, instead of Big Oil. So CorpoGov installed the Shah of Iran, our puppet who severely brutalized Iranians for 25 years, in addition to all but giving their oil to Big Oil.

CorpoGov is obsessed with power and imperial lust totally at the expense of things such as peace, Christian faith, and especially "The safety of the American people".  After the demise of the Soviet Union, US elites leaped toward "benign global hegemony", a euphemism for imperial domination of the planet's resources and population.

Our freedoms that allegedly provoke Terrorists into strapping on dynamite boosters to martyrdom and destroying anything pro-American-those freedoms are being stripped to "protect" us. Democracy is something we never had to begin with, and now our Constitution has one foot in the grave.  Eighty percent of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction, but none of the front-running presidential candidates are even so much as lying about restoring our lost freedoms, our system of checks and balances-not even lying about rescuing our Constitution. Tweaking around the edges, that's what they're lying about, while spilling truth about "staying the course". Then again, what does it matter with CorpoGov all but promising a nuclear terror attack this summer, to be followed by military dictatorship and martial law?

How different it might be if CorpoGov truly reflected endangered core American values by dealing fairly and honestly with prey countries instead of always being the ultimate pig. Iraq is such a perfect example of CorpoGov's style: Based on lies we annihilated their infrastructure, perpetually poisoned their environment with depleted uranium (DU) projectiles, killed outright 1 out of every 45 of their population that weren't among the millions to flee their country, and branded Iraqis who fight the invasion and occupation as "insurgents" or "terrorists".

Now we are piggishly trying to charge them for restoration of infrastructure we destroyed-even while demanding they surrender 75% of their oil revenues to Big Oil for at least 30 years, denying Iraqis any chance at recovery. This is while we are annexing tracts of their land for 14 huge military bases (not counting land for an American embassy larger than the Vatican), and...it goes on and on, CorpoGov as the world's ultimate pig.

Meanwhile, at home...criminalized dissent, force-labor camps, "either with us or against us...." It's always darkest right before everything goes totally black.
