THE BATTLE FOR REALITY
Fantasy terror threats conceal
real plan to reduce population

While watching the inane vice-presidential debate the other night, I
nearly swallowed my gum when I heard vice-presidential challenger John
Edwards say, "I agree that we needed to invade Afghanistan." I had had
pretty much the same reaction earlier when his running mate John Kerry
had informed a worldwide TV audience that, despite the high number of
innocent people killed in Fallujah and other cities, he would attack
Iraq "much harder" than the current mass murderer in charge of America's
latest immoral war.

This demonic double whammy hammered home in my mind that for the U.S.
election of 2004, there is no real opposition, no genuine choice, only
differences in styles of mass killing, and a message to the world that
America is united behind its curdled policies of utter injustice and
contempt for everyone on the planet.

The absence of a presidential candidate who would even begin to admit to
the truth of America's lies dooms us here at home to a dark future of
permanent war, and the rest of the world to random extermination
depending on the resources they may possess that others more powerful
may covet.

The indelible message to the world is that since there is no candidate
calling for actual peace and an accurate understanding of the processes
now turning the world into a shooting gallery, that all Americans
unanimously favor this all-out push toward world domination, and
preemptive obliteration of all who stand in their greedy way.
But is this really the case, or is this merely what America mainstream
mass media say is the case? In other words, do we as supposedly free
people really control our own destiny, or do others control it for us in
our names?

While it seems true that the peace coalition in the United States seems
miniscule in this era of increasing corporate control of the mind, it is
perhaps instructive to look at the behavior of the American people
before and during past wars to get a better idea of what's actually
going on here and now.

I am reminded of the trenchant essays of Scott Nearing in 1916, when he
pointed out that Woodrow Wilson was the peace candidate who vowed to
keep us out of the European war, then shortly thereafter, after a
hysterical newspaper campaign vilifying fictitious German baby eaters,
got us into the War to End All Wars.

Or the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Japan which compelled it to
invade Pearl Harbor, which Franklin Roosevelt then used as an excuse to
attack Germany.

Or the famous Gulf of Tonkin incident which 40 years later we learned
never happened, but at the time was used to rationalize a U.S. invasion
of Vietnam that produced millions of deaths in a pointless war that to
this day no one can adequately explain?

Or the young lady, later learned to be employed by the Hill & Knowlton
ad agency, who came to Washington to tell the world that babies were
being ripped from their incubators by Iraqi soldiers in a campaign to
convince Americans that we should start bombing Iraq. That now-disproved
bit of theater happened almost 15 years ago, yet we have not stopped
bombing Iraq ever since.

How many of you out there still believe that you actually control what
happens in your own lives? And how many of you have reached the point
where you have decided the time is long past that something be done
about this?

The controlling mechanism of this present burst of American aggression
throughout the world is of course the tragedy of 9/11, an apparent
attack by foreign extremists on American landmark that to this day has
never been adequately investigated or explained.

And yet, the American people have by and large accepted their
government's clumsy story without a peep of a demand for documentation,
provable evidence, or a thorough investigation. Why?

The great 9/11 coverup must be considered in the context of previous
political events in which the American people accepted the facile lies
of its leaders without demanding more information or an honest
accounting of these extremely suspicious events.

Or, more succinctly, had Americans demanded more forthright explanations
of the three big assassinations back in the 1960s — JFK, RFK and MLK
— it is very likely that none of these subsequent catastrophes to the
American conscience ever would have happened. But we didn't. And we
still don't.

Almost no one I know of believes the official version of what happened
in the murder of President Kennedy. After 40 years of discussion, it
seems like Michael Collins Piper's "Final Judgment" furnishes the final
word on the matter, that JFK was dusted because he demanded Israel open
its nuclear facilities for inspection, and that he wanted to diminish
the power of the Federal Reserve, so these two entities got together and
concocted an elaborate scheme to blame a CIA groupie for the crime and
used a CIA hit team to do the deed, with the fatal shot actually being
fired by the driver of the presidential limo. You haven't read that in
the New York Times lately, have you?

Once JFK's successor LBJ took over, there was a rapid rise in the amount
of money funneled to Israel, a trend that since has never diminished,
even though Israel destroyed an American ship (another famous
noninvestigation) and basically took over the American political system
through bribes and blackmail. Again, no mainstream media coverage of
that.

Jump to the 1990s, right after the Bush family completed its plundering
of America's savings and loan industry, adding billions to the family
bank account. Not much in the newspapers about that, and certainly not
the real story.

The 1990s began with the invasion of Panama (actually it was '89), about
which NBC reported 45 Panamanians died, but an Oscar-winning documentary
later revealed a death toll of 4,000.

Then came the Gulf War, when the U.S. told Saddam Hussein it was OK to
invade Kuwait, but later bombed the hell out of him for doing it. There
was some coverage of this, but most Americans didn't pay attention to
it.

Then came World Trade Center 1, where two FBI informants gathered a
couple of other Egyptians together to drive a truck full of explosives
into a New York City parking garage. America's mainstream media called
it a terrorist attack.

Then came Waco, which was kind of like Vietnam, in that today no one can
really explain why it happened or what was the dark secret behind the
government's massacre of 84 (or 103) men, women and children who just
happened to be esoteric religious fanatics. The only thing most of know
for sure is that the government lied before, during and after the event,
and the mainstream managed to cover it up, despite covering it live.
Then an FBI sniper fired a bullet through the head of a young mother
holding her baby, and the mainstream media said the government was
fighting a white supremacist terrorist in Idaho. The sniper later
received a medal.

Then the Murrah Building in Oklahoma exploded and the government blamed
a glazed-eyed white Patriot for doing it. Funny how McVeigh supposedly
used a truck full of fertilizer parked outside the building, yet the
building exploded outwards. But again, mainstream media and the federal
judges ignored all the contrary evidence and quickly (supposedly) fried
the fingered felon.

Six years later came 9/11, and most Americans have never even thought
about the facts that their government quickly destroyed the evidence and
never — NEVER! — conducted an investigation into how those buildings
fell and WHO did it. The government simply named the perpetrators it
chose to name (all of whom probably were using false identities), and
began making war on other countries which had no clear connection to the
fingered false identities.

What is wrong with this picture? And worse, what is wrong with the
American people that they have conceded control of their own destinies
to a process and a government that is so clumsily incompetent that it
can't even invent believable stories for their citizens to swallow? And
yet we swallow, endlessly, pathetically.

Do you suppose it's TV? If people can sit and watch the lame imitations
of life they see on the boob tube and think this is actual, real life,
can they swallow their government lying to them and believe it's the
truth? Is that what's going on here?

Or is it the schools? Are our school curricula so manipulative and
mind-controlling that people who attend 12 years of U.S. schools not
only can't think critically but can't even identify complete lies which
are paraded before their faces?

The American manufacturing base has been destroyed and most decent jobs
are being shipped overseas because American labor has priced itself out
of existence.

Virtually all of America's vaccinations are tainted by mercury and other
harmful substances, which create brain damage in children and sudden
death in adults. Yet we line up, ever docile, to take them, and the
maladies they bring.

Our soldiers, when they're not being killed by an outraged enemy
fighting for its own freedom against their corporate oppressors, are
being killed by the ammunition they are forced to handle and the
vaccinations they are ordered to take. Still we wave our flags and
gladly sacrifice our children.

We have forfeited control of reality to our mass media. How many times
have you heard someone say, "I don't believe something is really real
until I see it on television. Then I know for sure it's really
happening."

This is the new American paradigm, both a fear of independent
self-determination and a horror of not being part of the crowd. People
are afraid to think for themselves, and to question what is being rammed
down their throats as consensual truth.

It turns out what is being rammed down our throats is killing us, and
not thinking for ourselves will, in very short order, lead to our own
deaths, because the plan is to reduce the population to what they call
sustainable levels, and the chances are very good that you are not part
of that plan.

This all could have been avoided if somebody, way back when or even
yesterday, had had the courage to stand up and say, "This is not what is
really happening. You are lying to us." Said it to the media and/or the
government in sufficient numbers.

But we didn't. With each lie they get away with, the lies simply get
worse, the death toll gets higher. Now we've reached the point where the
government is openly trying to kill many of us, and we're sitting there
smugly saying, "Well, this doesn't really affect me." Or "Perhaps some
other people need to be excluded in the interests of the health of the
human race."

And all because you let other people tell you what reality really is.
The rule is .... if you can't make your own decision, they'll make it
for you. And surely you know what their decision will be.
Next time you speak with a politician, or a government employee, talk as
if your life is on the line. Because it is.
