Update to “9/11 Was a False-Flag Operation????”

Today I will give you the link for the blog that upset me so much yesterday, for his response, though quite arrogant, got me thinking and wondering if we Americans could be herded like sheep and fed lies about 9/11. A terrible thought! Could it be possible that we have been manipulated into the war on terror–that what we believe about 9/11 is not true? I shudder to think of the possibilities if what I read in this man’s blog could be correct . . .

Well, here is the upsetting blog and the specific entry–The AftermathNews. Go there and read and decide for yourself whether you agree with him or not. My audience and his will be so vastly different that I believe most of you will be shocked at the concept that the United States government could lie to us like that, where most of his audience agrees with him and is waiting for us to wake up.  Our two worlds collide . . .

The other day I had written to him that I had been told that people like him who believed that 9/11 was a false-flag operation existed, but hadn’t seen anything before him.  He had some particularly nasty things to say, and presented his evidence–all of which I am going to read to try to make sense of this horrible notion that our government could be that terrible–an idea worse than any science-fiction/fantasy or thriller novel that I have ever read.

I commented to him again after his response, and as my comment to him is awaiting moderation, I will post it here just in case it doesn’t pass muster–and because I feel it is important enough to warrant its own entry within my own space and be offered up for my own audience and not just his.

My last comment:

“As to who ‘told me’–for the past ten years I’ve been married to a man who talks about politics so much and so annoyingly that I stopped doing my own research and have instead been trying to ignore the whole arena (because otherwise I’d argue with him, and there is enough to argue about in marriage as it is). However, he said something recently that offended me so much and contradicted what I know myself to be true that I took off the blindfold and unplugged my ears. So please forgive me if I am a little slow to opening up my mind–I’ve been brainwashed at close quarters far too long. Thank you for sharing your evidence and that website, for that is the first time I have seen anything of that nature, living in America and surrounded by media and people who believe in what is told us in America as a Holy Gospel.

I’ll have to give my husband some credit–at least he told me about the false-flag operation theory–I’ve spent the past four years in undergraduate and just started graduate school and didn’t hear any contradictions to 9/11 there–and my classmates will protest/debate everything! It’s interesting that these budding vegan, anti-global warming, PETA, ACLU, Amnesty International (just to name a few) -minded folks haven’t started yelling about any of the points you list . . . I’d think government conspiracy would fit in with their list.

Do I at least get credit for asking for advice and for finally beginning the uphill battle to educate myself even if it goes contrary to ‘household policy’? It is going to take awhile to digest all you have told me, for it contradicts years of information. And, I will admit–I really hope you are wrong; for if you are right, I’m living under a government that makes the former U.S.S.R. look pretty damn peachy . . .”

And that’s enough for tonight, for the ideas he has presented to me have fried my brain, so to speak, and I want to sleep on the horrible evidence he has presented before me.

Good night!  But before I close, I must say this–God (or whomever you believe in) bless the USA–if he is right, we sure as hell need it.  And even if he is not, it sure as hell can’t hurt . . .
