As enormously costly as 9-11 has been to American citizens, the truth remaining locked down guarantees the costs will continue to grow. Our Constitution has already been so ravaged—with 9-11 as an excuse—that, among other things, habeas corpus is gone and we are but the stroke of a pen away from martial law and subsequent internment of dissidents in one of FEMA’s 800 new and ready-to-go forced labor prisons (see Rex 84 program) (6). What is a dissident? Fundamentally, anyone who thinks for themselves.

9-11 has produced many big winners, including: CorpoGov and American fascism; Industrial Military Complex; Israel; war-profiteering corporations in general; people who capitalized on their foreknowledge to make a killing in the stock market with put options; Larry Silverstein.... For the American People—if we prove wise enough—9-11 does offer the benefit of finally recognizing CorpoMedia for what it is, and pulling the plug. The same potential is there regarding CorpoGov—the mass realization that our enemy is internal. Sure, we could take it easy, pretend that the upcoming election might solve something...or we could finally realize, in whatever time we might have left, that if we continue to treat American politics as a spectator sport—get ready for the two-minute warning. Thomas Jefferson said that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. We have a lot of catching up to do, after waking up. One of the first things we need to do is restore our Constitution—is this even an issue in the upcoming “election”?

In Part 3: The darkening horizon for Americans with such pervasive foreign occupation of our government and mass media, and how we might achieve a little brightness. Weapons progress versus human progress. Also, education, partly in terms of Hitler’s infamous quote: “What luck for rulers that men do not think”.
