The Calculated War On American Freedom An Orchestrated Assault On The US Constitution
NewsFocus Op/Ed, by Tim Watts - 122010
Everything that has happened has coincidentally and conveniently
mirrored the PNAC plan for the US.
Ever since appointed President George W. Bush delivered his
landmark lie and intellectually deficient reason regarding the war on terror,
that "the terrorists hate us for our freedom," it seems that
our politicians have done their
best to take those freedoms away from us.
An American Coup
Ever since the United States Supreme Court overruled the Florida
Supreme Court and stopped the 2000 Florida election recount, appointing President George W. Bush
as the 43rd President of the United States, things haven't gone so well for our
once great nation. True, there were many other politicians before him who did
some bad things to affect our freedoms, Richard Nixon and George HW Bush
immediately come to mind, however, no other American president has so
adversely affected our rights and weakened our democracy so profoundly. Not
since Woodrow Wilson's allowance of the Federal Reserve, or Harry Truman's watch
over the birth of the CIA, has one president waged so much harm against our
Republic and the democracy for which it stands.
At least Wilson and Truman both had extreme remorse for the horrific and
egregious mistakes they had made while in office, but not George W. Bush and Dick
Cheney. Not for one minute. They will defend to their dying day that the evil
perpetrated on their watch was justified,
such as
the Iraq War and the grand lie that Saddam had something to do with 9/11; or how about
the WMD lie, the alleged "weapons of mass destruction" that were not there?
Well please excuse those of us who might have a hard time
accepting
any excuse or explanation as credible from anyone in that "integrity
challenged" administration. Once you've been lied to over and over again, by the same
source, it is human nature (and common sense) to question that source, if not
to never trust that source ever again.
Ever since Bush II delivered his
landmark lie and intellectually deficient explanation regarding the war on terror,
that "the terrorists hate us for our freedom," it seems that
our politicians have worked fervently to take those freedoms away from us.
One can only assume that Bush's
initial moronic
statement, which bordered on sheer lunacy, was an attempt to justify an all out "War on
Liberty." Ever since then, our Constitution has been under violent assault.
"We the People" are the real losers in this bogus "War on Terror."
This isn't a war on "terror," it's a war on Liberty. It's an
assault on the Constitution of the United States and the American republic. The rights of the
American people have been seriously compromised as a result of this extremely nebulous
war on terror.
And how do you conduct a war on something as intangible as "terror?"
The name was
purposefully left open-ended, in order to serve further aggression. If it was the
"War
against Al Qaeda," well, that would've been over a long time ago, which
it was.
That's why an aggressive effort was made to skillfully market a phrase that
would be universal and long lasting, satisfying not only the powers that be
and their crooked international bank cartel, but also the vast military
industrial complex.
They've duped people into swallowing a bogus "war on evil,"
or the "war on bad."
You may think that's going a bit too far on the
wordplay, but that's essentially what the war on "terror" implies, insipid as it
is. That is concerning, because terror, bad and evil have all
existed since the dawn of man. Unless Jesus himself is coming back to tackle the
job, when does anyone foresee mankind putting an end to terror?
What's worse, the more the U.S. cracks down and
oppresses so-called terrorist nations, suppressing their rights, "terrorism" grows
exponentially as those
people rightfully and predictably retaliate, rising up to fight back.
The powers that be know that, so that's why
they came up with a name that's sure to be long lasting, so they can continue on
under a state of war for as long as they want. This works to the advantage of the totalitarian state, because in
that climate they can keep crying "terrorism" as long as they want, even
though they are directly responsible for instigating it.
Good luck with seeing thatwar come to an end
anytime soon.
By the way... who gets to say when "terror" is finally defeated?
(???)
A Constitutional Assault
Ever since the Bush II administration, our U.S. Constitution has been under the most violent assault
that it has ever had to endure in over 200 years.
That's a fact. Just look at the bills passed under the
Bush-Cheney regime...
Patriot Act
Homeland Security Act
Military Commissions Act
Help America Vote Act (HAVA)
Every single one of these bills passed has taken away
Constitutional rights and thus jeopardized the liberty and freedom of every single
American. All of these abhorrent acts passed under the Bush-Cheney regime, allegedly because of
9/11.
Gosh, apparently we just didn't know how to fight "evil-doers"
before then.
The funny thing is, if you read those acts, they have more to do with
taking away our U.S. rights than they do with fighting terrorism.
As for HAVA, it
threatens our right to representation through mandated electronic voting on
easily hackable voting machines. Free elections are sadly now a thing of the
past.
It's time to wake up America. Our country and our Constitution have been
assaulted, not by foreign terrorists, but by domestic politicians.
We were terrorized far more in eight years by the Bush-Cheney
administration than by any other foreign entity, through continually over-hyped
terror alerts. They even shamelessly sounded the alarm during election season,
just to benefit themselves at the ballot box.
The suggestion that we have to be willing to give up some of our
rights in order for our government to guarantee our safety is patently absurd.
First off, no one can possibly guarantee our safety,
especially from vindictive foreigners wishing to
retaliate for the CIA meddling in their country's internal affairs. It's just not
possible to guarantee our safety from terrorism, so quit buying the bullshit
America.
Our politicians and leaders are asking us
to trade in our rights, for something that they cannot possibly provide in
return, let
alone have the audacity to guarantee.
We totally revamped our airport security,
and yet we still had the shoe bomber and the Christmas bomber make it onto
airliners, despite all of the increased post-9/11 security.
So don't believe anyone
that asks you to trade away yourConstitutional guarantee
of liberty and freedom, for a
false guarantee of a security that is undeniably impossible to achieve.
We've known how to fight terrorism for years,
without the Patriot Act or the Military Commissions Act.
We already knew how to conduct competent, thorough police work, and proper
diligent FBI investigations. We've done it quite successfully for many years
now.
We didn't need the Homeland Security Act to tie our intel together
more efficiently, as we've been told over and over again. We already had existing procedures in place for inter-agency
communication and cooperation. There was no reason to re-invent the wheel, just
because some people suspiciously ignored that wheel when it was needed
most on 9/11.
The real plan was to
create an entity capable of coordinating a national police state.
Don't let the media tell you any differently. We didn't just step
out of the stone age with our national security. We knew how to do air defense
and security on 9/11, but for some reason, a select number of officials simply
didn't follow standard emergency protocol. That was their fault, not
ours, yet none of them ever paid through demotions or court martial. Instead,
"we the people" have been the ones forced to pay for their egregious official
screw-ups.
We shouldn't have to keep paying for the undeniable shortcomings
and bonehead mistakes of
our Air Traffic Control system, our military leaders, NORAD, and select key
government officials, all of whom had questionable lapses in standard
operating procedure and emergency protocol on one single day in our nation's
history.
Think about that.
All of those alleged coincidences, all of the stupid
personal mental lapses, all of the seemingly impossible gaffes and
miscommunication... in a rigid and strict system of established government protocols...
all of it just happened to occur for the first time ever in history, on 9/11.
The probability of all of those things happening all on the same
day, for
such a critical moment, are highly improbable, if not damn near impossible, yet
we all saw it happen with our own eyes.
Face the facts, they are the ones that screwed up on 9/11.
Planes lost in the air for 40 minutes or more, with no fighter
jet intercepts? Air Traffic Control has been through that situation before,
many times over, yet somehow they just couldn't figure it out on 9/11?
Uh huh. Sure.
For the first time ever, Air Traffic Control
couldn't figure out a simple hijacking.
How is it that NORAD was able to
scramble jets for 67 incidents of suspected terrorism or
hijackings in the year previous to September 2001, but somehow
was not able to scramble jets in time on 9/11?
They
were able to get a jet up to check out deceased golfer Payne
Stewart in just :21 minutes, so why couldn't we get any jets to
New York on time? Some of those planes were AWOL over
40-minutes, yet no fighter jets were scrambled.
Why?
Official Responsibility
And speaking of Air Traffic Control, what about the
FAA Manager
who collected all of the audio interview
tapes
with the New York air traffic controllers, then destroyed the tapes completely
afterwards?
He went so far as to actually sprinkle the remaining pieces in separate garbage cans!
He went out of his way to make sure no one would ever hear those tapes.
Yeah, that's certainly not suspicious in the least. Puh-leez.
The Pentagon
was allegedly caught with its pants
down in a surprise attack, after both World Trades Centers had already
been hit? Seriously? Think about that.
Do you really think the Pentagon was clueless about knowing when the
country was under attack, or when to go to a heightened state of alert? For
crying out loud folks, those people practice these drills and scenarios over
and over again, ad nauseam.
As if all of this isn't bad enough, we had former Vice President
Dick Cheney deep beneath the White House in the Presidential Emergency Command Center
(PEOC), tracking the incoming object from well over 50 to 70 miles out! Even
1960's ballistic missile technology could have easily intercepted a target
from that distance, yet Cheney did not have it shot down.
Cheney originally
tried to lie by saying he wasn't in the PEOC until much later, but his own
public admission on CNN did him in, talking about the Secret Service agents
immediately dragging him to the PEOC after the second plane hit.
According to Cheney,
"My [Secret Service] agent all of a sudden materialized right beside me and
said, 'Sir, we have to leave now.' He grabbed me and propelled me out of my
office, down the hall, and into the underground shelter in the White House."
So much for the lie about showing up much later.
George W Bush has claimed publicly on two separate occasions that he saw
the first plane hit the WTC, an outrageous claim.
First off, unless he was watching a secret remote
feed, he could not have witnessed that, because that video was not found until much
later, but if Bush is correct, it would mean that he saw a jetliner right from
the start, not a small plane.
Secondly, Bush knew it was an attack on the
country when Andrew Card told him, "A second plane has hit the towers.
America is under attack." Yet for some reason he mysteriously chose to sit in the classroom
instead, until the attacks were carried out. The Secret Service did nothing.
Bush then drug his feet on launching a full 9/11 investigation for 441 days, then
under funded it, while also strangely setting a deadline for its completion (an unprecedented
and unusual request, unheard of in any criminal investigation).
Later on, Bush and
Cheney both refused to testify alone without the other, when meeting the 9/11
Commission.
Also strangely enough, they both refused to testify under oath.
Just as questionable is the behavior of Defense Secretary
DonaldRumsfeld, who had said after the towers were struck, that another
attack was coming, yet rather than orchestrate an effective defense, as his job
title requires of him, he abandoned his post to go out on the Pentagon lawn to
supposedly help with the rescue efforts.
The nation was under attack, yet he chose to attend to a few
people, rather than a country of 300-million. His efforts on the lawn made no
difference whatsoever, yet his absence from his post was a critical error and
may have had a decisive impact on the success of the attacks.
And then there was former President George HW Bush who just
coincidentally flew in to stay the night in the White House, the night before
9/11, even though his son was off in Florida on a reported PR trip! Was the
elder Bush there to visit Cheney instead? If so, what did George HW Bush and
Dick Cheney discuss that night before 9/11?
No one questioned any of our top officials at the time, except
for a young Pentagon officer who questioned an order from Cheney in the PEOC.
After announcing that the plane was ten miles out, he asked Cheney, "Do the
orders still stand?" According to sworn 9/11 Commission testimony from
Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta,the Vice President turned and whipped his neck
around and said, "Of course the order still stands. Have you heard anything
to the contrary?"
And then of course there's former New York Mayor
Rudy Giuliani
who told ABC's Peter Jennings publicly on television that he was told that the World
Trade Center was going to collapse. He couldn't have been any clearer in that
remark, yet
later on, Giuliani attempts to recant his admission by saying that he was never told that.
That also just so happens to be what WTC leaseholder Larry Silverstein
did after admitting on national TV (PBS) that he and the FDNY had WTC
building 7 "pulled," a demolition term for a controlled implosion
of a building to
bring it down into its own footprint. After his comments aired publicly, Silverstein became inundated with
numerous questions on the literal
impossibility of having the building wired so quickly for a same-day
demolition, (a process that
takes many weeks, if not months), so he too also tried to recant his own damning
admission as well.
All of these figures coincidentally were in influential positions
of power, with the ability to make things happen, so in light of the issues
raised for each, it is reasonable to question their actions on that fateful day,
especially when so many freely abandoned established government protocol.
The Project For A New American Century
Maybe we wouldn't question all of the coincidental actions and
mistakes of our top leaders on 9/11, if they hadn't done so many calculated,
horrible things afterwards to "we the people." Maybe we wouldn't question
the event quite so heavily if the results didn't coincidentally just happen to
perfectly fit the stated objective for a far-right ultra conservative group
called the PNAC,
the Project for a New American Century, including their vision for a catalyzing disaster to help
springboard the takeover of our country.
In their pre-9/11 document,
Rebuilding America's Defenses, the authors outlined a plan for a new America, one
that seizes control of the world while at the height of its power, and then dominates the
globe.
This is pretty aggressive stuff for most of us that remember
Hitler and the Nazis. The neo-cons behind the plan also very much realized this
themselves, going so
far as to write in
their document:
"Further, the
process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely
to be a long one, absent some catastrophic
and catalyzing event––like a
new Pearl Harbor."
What an incredible coincidence for them. Less than one year
after this select group of neo-con Republicans were placed into offices of high power,
they conveniently received their new Pearl Harbor on September 11th,
2001. Wow. The gateway of opportunity for their brazen plan for US domination
was suddenly now open for exploitation.
Lucky for them that the cabinet just happened to be stuffed with PNAC members at the time. The Bush administration was a
literal "Who's Who" of the PNAC
elite...

It's quite easy to
understand how a focused collective large group such as that, all
sharing extremely influential positions of power,
and all with
the same ideals, could use an event to lead this country in
possibly the wrong direction, one that coincidentally
coincides with the stated doctrine of their
far right neo-con group.
Other influential
PNAC members are conservative TV commentators William Kristol
and William J. Bennett, presidential brother and governor of
Florida, Jeb Bush, George HW Bush's vice president Dan
Quayle, and former presidential hopeful Steve Forbes, to name but
just a few.
It was the grand
wisdom of this think-tank to see our nation begin its first
public use of
pre-emptive warfare, something which our country has never
publicly stood for in the past. This was originally the
brainchild of PNAC member Paul Wolfowitz, and was initially
referred to as the Wolfowitz doctrine, however, it would
eventually become known as the "Bush Doctrine."
With
so many from this far-right group infiltrated and embedded into
extremely high positions of power within the US government, it
is somewhat understandable that so many have suspected and even
openly accused this organization of, at the very least, being
complicit in the 9/11 attacks, or, at the absolute worst,
having a guiding hand in the plot's fruition.
The Consequences
of 9/11
So now our private personal emails are being intercepted, and our phones and
cells are being tapped, whenever government feels like it, all illegally,
without a court ordered warrant.
Orwell's tale of "Big Brother" isn't coming. It's already
here.
They tell us that these extreme unprecedented actions are
for our own good, yet the politicians and power elite seem to be the only
ones benefiting, even though all of this is a direct byproduct of their
inability to perform their jobs and for failing on 9/11.
Wonderful. They screwed up, but yet we pay the price.
Parse it any way you want to, but that is exactly what happened.
If people don't understand how anyone could have questions
after hearing about the conduct of our top officials on 9/11, maybe they should
examine the strange facts of that day, and then perhaps more importantly, the
life-altering enormous ramifications that resulted from 9/11.
War in Afghanistan for gas & oil pipeline route
War in Iraq for oil and basing rights, plus maintaining the
dollar
Trillions for the military industrial complex in just a ten year
period
Hundreds of billions more for the CIA and NSA
New powers for the Federal government
An increased national police state
Don't let the actions, or inactions, of a few who
failed us miserably on 9/11, force the rest of us to pay for their mistakes
by giving up our Constitutional rights and freedom.
We have never had a day in US history where
so many government agencies and institutions had so many lapses in judgment,
screw-ups, or failed protocol. And somehow, we've never had another since.
It is
highly doubtful that the Department of Homeland Security is responsible for
accomplishing what we could already do before 9/11, dependable security.
BTW... Homeland Security is an idea the Bush-Cheney
camp stole from Adolph Hitler. Hey, if it was good enough for one evil regime...
This is not our version of America
folks.
Terrorists did not steal our American way of life, our
heavily bribed politicians did that.
We want our country
back, like it was before 9/11. Don't believe the feeble lie that
this isn't possible. Terrorism does not mean that we lose our
rights just because our elected and appointed officials failed
badly at protecting us, or because they are tragically incompetent in
performing the jobs which we pay them to do for us.
If we allow the guilty to get away with this, then
"We the People" are the real losers in this bogus "War on Terror."
Summing It All Up
A small powerful cabal made up
of some of the wealthiest elite from the US and the world have long ago usurped
the American political system through a secret
American coup. (see the Federal
Reserve)
This has all been done according to design, in an attempt to tear away the
structure of our U.S. democracy, to strip away the Constitution and our
inalienable rights as Americans, to steer the United States into a
North American Union first, and then the
grand global union,
known to many as the New World Order.
Don't believe any of it? Have you ever seriously looked?
For those who have never searched for the truth on their own, you
can't spend just five minutes searching. You have to do some earnest research on
your own, to find out what others already know.
Please do not take this author's
word for it. Take the conditioned "blinders" off and look at the
9/11 event
with open eyes and a discerning mind. Don't worry. You won't have to search
hard. The evidence is plentiful.
The hyperlinks provided above are good places to start. More are
readily available, if you're only willing to look.
Watch these awesome presentations on the looming threat that few
fully understand.
Erosion of Rights
This only stands if "we the people" allow it. Stand up for your
inalienable rights!
The Patriot Act
Americans need to wake up to the horrible
ramifications of this act.
The Military Commission Act
A perverse extension to the Patriot Act.
The Homegrown Terrorism Act
If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, you're not
looking.
Our democracy is no longer an
automatic or sure thing, as we once naively trusted. Americans need to remain vigilant
against all enemies... both foreign and domestic.
Liberty and freedom did not come easy to our forefathers. They
had to fight for it.
