Being in denial is not quite the same as insanity. It is a defense mechanism of sorts, as it wards off feelings of guilt and responsibility for one’s actions while providing a pretext for the next war. We would have to admit a history of false-flag operations under presidents of both stripes which have killed many millions of innocent people in many nations over much of the earth.

Most of all, it would mean that we would have to stop this immoral madness.

If anyone is interested in an evolving game plan to neuter both major political parties, the work-in-progress can be seen at http://neitherparty.blogspot.com/2007/07/progressive-democratic-republican.html and www.neitherparty.org where your active participation and (hopefully financial) support is sought and your intelligent input is sought after and needed.

The alternative to the above plan is the present-day destructive and destabilizing status-quo.

But I am pretty well convinced that assertions about the buildings having been brought down by explosives, or the planes being switched, or a missile hitting the Pentagon, or the Air Force missing an opportunity to shoot down the planes, etc. are almost certainly groundless. Anything requiring the involvement of large numbers of people seems implausible — there’d be too much danger of someone exposing the plot. It’s one thing to leave open the possibility that Washington somehow had a hand in the attacks, another to claim that this is provable or even probable.

As I see it, our focus should be on rescuing this country from the disastrous war in Iraq and from the dictatorial pretensions of the administration here at home. Even if 9/11 really was a false flag attack, you’re not going to convince the majority of Americans that this is true anytime in the immediate future. So let’s not allow this issue to divide us or sap energy and attention from the more pressing job at hand. (This is the same reasoning I would use to argue that this is not the moment to pursue Ralph Nader’s critique of the two-party system or the campaign to extend fundamental “human” rights to chimps, gorillas and dolphins.)

It’s bizarre to contemplate that even if the President and his crew were guilty of the murder of 3000 people on 9/11 — an act regarded as one of the most heinous crimes in American history — it would not constitute a statistically significant alteration to their cumulative body count, given that they’ve directly or indirectly racked up well over half a million victims in Iraq alone over the past four years, of whom probably a hundred thousand at least were innocent civilians killed by U.S. bombs.

To any sane person, there is no doubt that 9-11 was a false-flag operation aided and abetted by officials at the highest levels of our government, and to anyone paying attention to what is going on in Iraq, there is no doubt that the greatest number of casualties are caused by our bombs.

President Bush therefore did tell the truth when he made the above statement–just not in the way he intended.
