An
aerial view on September 17th, 2001 shows only a small portion of the scene
where the World Trade Center collapsed following the supposed Sept. 11
terrorist attack. Surrounding buildings were obviously heavily damaged by the
scattered debris and massive force of the imploding twin towers ~ before DOJ
head and future Director of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff retained and
destroyed all the evidence from this clearly evident,
but never declared crime scene. (U.S. Navy photo

As the Syrian guns of war propaganda heats up, driven by a
severely discredited Congress which enjoys an approval rating of less than 15%
~ the clearly anti Syrian intervention American public (90% against) finds
itself once again ignored and obviously lied to, coerced and manipulated by the
Obama administration's imperialistic agenda which is determined to have its way
~ and all of this set against the 12th anniversary backdrop of the Bush/Cheney
administration's mother of all lies ~ the 9/11 official story: Allen L Roland
Propaganda
is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state." - Noam Chomsky
It was Carl Sagan who once wrote “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve
been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.
We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured
us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been
taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
America
was bamboozled 12 years ago by the mother of all lies, the official 9/11 story,
as perpetuated by the Bush/Cheney administration to the extent that all the
subsequent lies seem relatively minor and acceptable
~ and all, including Syria, under the guise of humanitarian regime change. As the executive branch becomes
all powerful, Congress becomes a willing accomplice and a charlatan Nobel peace
Laureate president Obama willingly ushers in the New World Order.
'Regime Change' is still the
name of the game for the world's only superpower and Obama is beginning to
flaunt that uncontested power as reported by
the Guardian's Dan Roberts and Dan Ackerman ~ "While stressing that Washington's primary goal remained "limited
and proportional" attacks, to degrade Syria's chemical weapons
capabilities and deter their future use, the president hinted at a broader
long-term mission that may ultimately bring about a change of regime ~
"It also fits into a broader strategy that can bring about over time the
kind of strengthening of the opposition and the diplomatic, economic and
political pressure required – so that ultimately we have a transition that can
bring peace and stability, not only to Syria but to the region," Obama told
senior members of Congress at a White House meeting on Tuesday. See
Guardian article ~ http://www.alternet.org/world/obama-hints-larger-strategy-syria-effort-win-over-republicans?
Just like, I facetiously add, regime change
has brought peace and stability to the ongoing nightmares of Iraq, Afghanistan,
Libya and nightmare in waiting, Syria.
This
"Trust me" attitude by Secretary of State Kerry and
President Obama towards the flimsy evidence that Assad and Syria were
responsible for chemical attacks on their own people is reminiscent of the
charlatans Bush, Cheney, Rice, Tenant and Powell as they pushed their Weapons
of Mass Destruction lies and deceptions on the American public with the same "trust
me" attitude which masked their obvious goal of Regime Change in Iraq, at any cost. Iraq was an eight year
war costing the United States more than a trillion dollars,
4,400 American soldiers dead and the displacement of two million Iraqis.
In
the next few days, the Government propaganda drum beat will be hot and heavy
with constant references to the 9/11 official story by the administration team
to cement their claim that Syria is a threat to our
national security ~ regardless of the findings of the UN inspection
team.

is our George Galloway inspiring the British House of Commons to vote down this
unnecessary military preemptive strike and speak the
truth
about the events in Syria; 7 Minute video
And
if you think the Senate is taking this matter seriously, watch this short video
clip of AIPAC operative Wolf Blitzer interviewing gonzo Senator John 'Bomb, Bomb' McCain who was in
attendance at that recent congressional hearing on Syria. One minute video http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/24440.html
As VT
points out
~ The second largest recipient of AIPAC money from 2006 to 2012 ( $772,327 ) is
Arizona Republican Senator John McCain, who has been a champion of Syrian
rebels, including the human organ-eating guerrillas of the Jabhat al Nusra, an
Al Qaeda-affiliate .. White House intelligence charging Syria for using
chemical weapons is solely based on dubious signals intercepts provided by
Israel …As such, the White House finds itself relying on the use of obvious
propaganda and disinformation to stake its phony claims ~ just like they did
in leading up to the illegal and preemptive attack on Iraq in 2003.
John
Kerry, in other words, is pulling a Colin Powell and seemingly getting away
with it ~ at least in the Senate.
Obama's rapidly fading Syrian red line
in the sand
But
there are many members of the House who are not buying Obama's red line in the sand as well as the administration's patriotic posturing and subterfuge and
predict a resounding defeat for the administration. One of them is Democrat
Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida, a leading
opponent of the resolution in the House, who
eloquently refutes Kerry's arguments and is gathering
signatures for a petition calling on Congress to deny permission to attack
Syria. See Grayson video interview and
sign petition on Democracy Now ~ http://www.democracynow.org/2013/9/5/rep_alan_grayson_on_syria_congress
I most certainly did not trust the
constitution shredding Bush/Cheney administration and also do not trust the
even more secretive Obama/Biden administration but I defer to ex-CIA analyst
Ray McGovern to answer the question of Should we fall again for Trust Me?
" In
a dazzling display of chutzpah, the White House is demanding that Congress
demonstrate blind trust in a U.S. intelligence establishment headed
by James Clapper, a self-confessed perjurer. That’s a lot to ask
in seeking approval for a military attack on Syria, a country posing no
credible threat to the United States. But with the help of the same corporate
media that cheer-led us into war with Iraq, the administration
has already largely succeeded in turning public discussion into one
that assumes the accuracy of both the intelligence
on the apparent Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack in Syria and
President Barack Obama’s far-fetched claim that Syria is somehow a threat to
the United States.
Here we go again with the old political gamesmanship over ”facts”
as a prelude to war, a replay of intelligence trickery from Vietnam’s
Gulf of Tonkin to Iraq’s nonexistent WMD… Let’s hope that, this
time on Syria, at least one or two senior intelligence or policy officials will
find a way to get the truth out ~ heeding their own conscience and oath to
support and defend the Constitution ~ rather than succumb to the
ever-present temptation to give priority to being part of the President’s
“team”

Which
brings me finally to the backdrop mother of
all lies, the official 9/11 story which most certainly will be utilized ~ as we approach its 12th anniversary ~ to
justify further illegal preemptive and unconstitutional military strikes by an
out of control Military, Industrial, Congressional complex which has obviously
lost its soul as well as its moral bearings.
Whether
you believe the official 9/11 story or see it for what it really is ~ a
treasonous hoax and monstrous lie ~ will determine if you are still being
bamboozled and remain powerless to the dictates of the corpocracy and global
financial elite. President Obama will
desperately play that rusty 9/11 card in a nationally televised speech next
Tuesday, September 10th in a vain attempt to once again utilize fear to maintain
the 9/11 bamboozle, the status quo as well
as America's image as the world's most deeply mistrusted and trigger happy policeman.
All
Government lies stem from the mother of all
lies ~ the 9/11 Official story and it is the
litmus test for the survival of our society and Democracy; "Think about what you allow
yourself to know ~ Think about what you pass by; ignore, deny and defend
that defines you. For it defines the degree of
your personal courage, your relationship to the truth, your values, your
principles and what you will pass on to your children and everyone you meet. It
tells you in that place where your conscience must once have lived whether you
are a hypocrite and a fool or whether something greater still lives within you."
