After the Glenn Beck / Debra Medina issue today, I began to think about what the issue with 9/11, truthers, and anti-truthers are. Glenn Beck seems to think that anyone that doesn't believe the government's story about 9/11 completely is a truther. I think that is a misconception. The fact is there are plenty of people that believe the government was directly involved with 9/11, and I would agree there is no real evidence to support that. However, there are a lot of people labeled as truthers that think that the government was responsible due to negligence. Not that the government didn't connect the dots, but that it had all the dots but refused to do anything. There is plenty of evidence to support that idea just since 9/11.

Look at the panty bomber. His own dad said he was a danger and no one did anything. According to CNN the CIA was tracking him, but nothing happened. What about the Fort Hood shooter? Sign after sign was swept under the rug and dismissed. In these cases it wasn't the government that protected us, it was us protecting ourselves. So is it really unreasonable to think that the government was at minimum negligent in the events of 9/11? If that makes a person a "truther", then is it really that unreasonable to think there might be a valid point in there some where? We know the terrorists flew the plane into the world trade center buildings; it's on tape. What isn't clear is why the government was following the 9/11 hijackers but did nothing to stop them; the same way they knew about the panty bomber and didn't stop him; the same way they had information about the Fort Hood shooter and didn't stop him. One time is a fluke, but we have multiple instances of the federal government not doing its job. Instead they want to force us to give them strip teases at the air port. Why would anyone believe the government isn't at least partially responsible for all of the terrorists attacks we have had since, and including, 9/11?

I started this blog because my anger toward the government, starting under the Bush regime, increased to a point where I wanted to try to make a difference. I had hoped that a revolution could be avoided if the citizens of the United States would stand up and let their voice be heard. While it is true that some citizens did just that, I believe that the total comes to less than one percent of the population of the United States. Obviously, our government is not going to take anyone seriously when the total comes to less than one percent. Even the republicans only take it seriously enough to use it as a wave to ride back into power. Let's be clear. The government won't take the people seriously when the people won't get serious about their country.

The time to rise up has come and gone. Make no mistake. Obama said he would fundamentally change the United States, and he is. In any revolution there is a period of time when the good people have the opportunity to stand up and resist the tyrannical government. Germany had this chance, but they chose Hitler instead. The United States has had many chances to vote in statesmen instead of politicians, but they chose self serving pandering politicians. We see how they have brought us to the verge of bankruptcy and are showing no sign of stopping. We see how they have steadily handed over sovereignty to world powers. We see how congress, more concerned with getting elected, has abdicated its responsibility to manage a financially sound monetary system in favor of turning it over to a global corporation, the "federal reserve." What shall we say now that we have consented to these fundamentally destructive actions? Even if fifty percent of the U.S. citizens stood up and said enough, would it matter? Or would the government simply turn our military against us just as it did to its own veterans after world war one? I believe the latter; what have they to lose?

Some will undoubtedly say that we have 2010 and 2012. Who would we vote in? Only a small percentage of elected officials are up for re-election. Those that are running offer only two choices. Socialist government that redistributes wealth from the rich to the poor, democrats, or those that seek to redistribute wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich, the republicans. U.S. citizens have made it clear that neither party is qualified to run a war. Republicans want it to continue empire building, while the democrats want to drag their feet until the citizens demand our troops be withdrawn. Should we continue to choose the lesser of two evils as we have done for the last one hundred years? What other choice do we have? We had an opportunity to have Ron Paul lead us back to our founding fathers wishes, but the majority of people chose to be lead by the media. How can justice win when people are ignorant of its existence? I don't see 2010 or 2012 making any real difference in moving our country back in the right direction. Perhaps, it will be a new direction, but that doesn't mean it will be the right direction. Chances are more likely it will be the wrong direction.

So we come down to the question, "Is there any hope?" Not unless people are willing to put their lives on the line. Let's be real. The left has already said they have no problem using "the persuasion of power." They have said that they mostly agree with Mao that political change only comes out of the barrel of a gun. They have advised their minions to "punch back." Is it not clear that this is no longer an ideological war, but has been fundamentally transformed into a fight for life? Even if we were to trust the police to protect us, haven't we seen that the judges have no intention of punishing those carrying out the will of the progressives?

If there is hope, then it resides in ourselves. We are our only chance to free ourselves. Yet, it won't come by conducting business as usual. It won't come by staying out of the fray. It won't come by letting others take care of the problems. It will only come when every one of the three hundred million plus members of this great country leave our place of work, leave our home, and leave our comfort zone to demonstrate the raw physical power of the citizens of this country, as we did during the revolution, the civil war, WWI, and WWII, and again return the fear of God and the fear of the U.S. citizens back into the stone hearts of the government. But that isn't enough. Only when have we have restored that fear will we be powerful enough to get freedom loving statesmen back into our government, and remove the corrupt politicians. People that won't empire build, won't fundamentally change our country, but will respect the law of our land that is the Constitution. The very document that separated us from the rest of the world; and made us better than the rest of the world. The very document that made freedom for slaves possible. The very document that seeks to declare that every human has inalienable rights given to us by the Almighty. Our only hope is for each of us to again take our position as citizen rulers of our own domain and our country.

Now you see why I think our country is lost. There simply isn't enough time for the process to take place necessary for these actions to occur. Perhaps, if the citizens got serious enough to accelerate the process our country might have a chance, but last time I checked too many citizens were fighting over who would get the last mouse for Christmas.

Today, I saw a tweet by darrinbodner who made this statement.

"Tyranny of the Minority" 51% of the US pop lives in just 9 states, yet they only have 18 seats in the US Senate."

This person, I am guessing, was sleeping during high school government class. Anyone with half a brain knows that the Senate has two senators per state, regardless of population. It is the House of Representatives that represent the population.

If fact, the Senate was originally supposed represent the states by the governors appointing Senators to the Senate. Had this practice been maintained, we might not find our self with an over whelming federal government.

Regardless, it is amazing, to me, the amount of ignorance and ineptness that people throw up out of their mouths, even when they have no knowledge of the subjects they speak about. I suppose this person also thinks our country is a democracy, too.
