Random Thoughts of Mine...

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

- Ben Franklin

With today being the 5th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, I decided to do a little post about it. As you all know, on that sunny Tuesday morning, almost 3,000 people lost their lives in the worst terrorist attack on American soil. One of my cousins worked across the street from the Twin Towers in the World Financial Center. She saw it all happen. She witnessed the people jumping from the windows. When she saw the 2nd plane hit, she walked all the way back to Queens. She was in her early 20's on 9/11. My cousin later suffered a nervous breakdown because of the things she saw that day. That makes me especially since the terrorist attack could have, and should have, been prevented.

The Bush Administration has used the events of that day as an excuse to spread govenment propaganda, pass laws restricting civil liberties, use torture on suspected terrorists, assume more power for the Executive Branch, start wars (including the phony "war on terror"), among other things. Five years later, America's image around the world has suffered greatly, as you can read here. A recent U.S. Senate report rejected one of the arugments used by the Bush Administration to justify a war with Iraq. The Senate panel found: 1) no connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Queda; and 2) the Bush Administration relied on false intelligence! You can read the reports for yourself here. This reminds me of the Downing Street Memos.

There are websites, such as this one, that claim that the events of that day were a U.S. government inside job I even checked out their "11 Remarkable Facts About 9/11." You can click on the 2 images to see fullscreen .jpg images of them. Next, here is a Deception Dollar, as you can see at the beginning of this post. A friend of mine had an extra one and gave it to me.

I personally believe that the horrible events of that day could have been prevented, and that the U.S. government had advance knowledge of it. Some of you may disagree with me, while some of you may agree with me. In any case, I do believe that the following articles from The New Amercian Magazine are the best ones on 9/11 that I have read. All the links that I have provided in this post are for you to look at and make up your own mind about what, if anything, could have been done to prevent the deaths of almost 3,000 people on that day. I also believe that we should not have to give up our civil liberties for supposed security. I do believe that all human governments eventually turn tyrannical unless the people stop that from happening. America is turning into a police state right before our very eyes, along with some other nations of the world. Without further ado, here are some articles from The New Amercian:
