American Mythology
There are two enduring myths that permeate
American culture, which we all subscribe to in varying degrees,
regardless of our religious views. They are the myth of an independent
news industry consisting of diverse interests competing to bring
you the truth, and the myth of our government protecting us
from evil and harm.
We immediately trust certain sources of information, because
we were raised to believe that they’re "credible,"
and we do so without question. We immediately turn to our government
for protection from all danger, because we believe it’s
their purpose. These beliefs are so deeply ingrained in our
culture, that expressing doubt about either’s validity
will result in being ostracized by many members of our society.
In other words, if you insist that the entire news industry
is capable of collaborating to hide the truth, or try to tell
someone that the U.S. government has murdered thousands of Americans,
there’s a good chance they’ll think you’re
crazy, and they’ll probably seek to avoid you.
You can hardly blame them. Your information shatters their
comforting myths, and leaves them in a frightening world they’re
not prepared to face. You also insult them by suggesting they’ve
been fooled, and that most of what they know about current events
is in fact, deceit. And they certainly don’t want to believe
that the powerful protector they’ve always relied on for
their safety, is now terrorizing them into submission. It’s
not the kind of news that makes people happy, so if it’s
possible to disbelieve you, that’s the route they’ll
take. Disbelieving you will allow them to exist in the false
security of their caring and protective government, confident
that they’re making well-informed decisions because they
read the newspaper everyday. Their "credible" source
of information has already warned them about "conspiracy
theorists" like you, and probably expressed hope that there
will someday be a cure.
I too, would rather not believe what I know to be true. I would
definitely feel happier and more secure if I believed America
were fighting terrorism, and punishing the villains of 9-11.
Unfortunately, I know better. For me, the myths have been exposed
as fraud, and that fact has also exposed the threat we all face
from our own government. Politics is not my hobby, and I would
rather not think about the government at all. But what I also
know to be true, is that our government can no longer be ignored,
and to do so invites horrors that most Americans believe can
never happen here. Anyone who is unwilling to look past what’s
printed in the newspapers, is probably very dependant upon the
myths for their security and happiness. The American myths share
their main aspects with every other religion. Our newspapers
are the givers of truth and wisdom, and our government the powerful
entity that will protect us from evil, punish the bad, and reward
the good. To deprive people of these myths, is to take away
their Gods.
The result of these myths being so widely accepted, is that
too many Americans are not accepting the reality of our situation,
and that fact is putting us all in danger. Many still believe
change can come through elections, or that the insanity of our
government can only last four more years. They’re very
wrong on both counts. We’ll never have honest elections
again, and our situation will only get much worse, unless the
American people take action to change things. The government
of the United States is robbing and killing Americans, destroying
their nation, and shredding their constitution. The will be
no congressman, judge or new politician coming to their rescue.
There will also be no newspaper breaking the story across the
headlines, so Americans will only know the truth, if other Americans
educate them. In 2005, any American that ignores his government
endangers himself, and the rest of this country, and any American
that relies on corporate media for their information, knows
very little of what’s actually happening in the world.
The truth is that today’s "credible"
news sources are masterpieces in the art of deception, and they
epitomize the propagandist’s skill. I’ve learned
to appreciate the magic show, and I now know that the best way
to make a nation’s constitution disappear, is to first
distract the people with the court trial of a dancing pervert.
And if I ever need to inspire hatred in my fellow countrymen
for an innocent people, I only have to blow up a few buildings,
and blame them for it. There’s no need to worry about
the newspapers revealing the truth, and apparently, that hasn’t
been a problem for a long time.
The government of the United States is not protecting you,
or your freedom. Only you can do that. What they are doing is
oppressing you, and they’re accomplishing this by convincing
you that the world is a much more dangerous place than it is,
and by making it a much more dangerous place than it need be,
so they can sell you protection. Their protection is only visible
as a loss of freedom, but the "credible" news sources
have told you it’s necessary, so you’ll believe
it, and demand it. The slightest scrutiny of their actions proves
they care nothing for the people they were "elected"
to represent, but still we believe they’re protecting
us, because it’s a lot more comforting than believing
otherwise.
I no longer enter debates about who’s responsible
for the attacks of September 11, 2001. If by this time, you
haven’t looked at the evidence and arrived at the only
sensible conclusion it supports, you simply don’t want
to know the truth, because you’re afraid of it. You’ll
defy science, and create ridiculous arguments to deny what’s
obvious, and you’ll carry on hating innocent people, because
it’s easier than shunning society, and its ridiculous,
but powerful myths.
The heros of today are the modern town criers and pamphleteers;
the people who hand out the flyers, and disseminate the information
necessary to educate their fellow Americans, regardless of whether
or not they want to hear it. They’re operating web-sites,
printing flyers, burning CD’s, and whatever else needs
to be done to inform a nation that’s been kept in the
dark by a government-controlled "news" industry. These
people are nothing less than the saviors of America, and they’re
doing more to protect you than you’ll ever know. The American
military fights for oil. The fight for freedom and justice is
once again in the hands of the American citizens.
I’m not a "bleeding-hear liberal." I’m
a patriotic American, and I have absolutely no problem with
someone who wants to kill the perpetrators of 9-11. They attacked
America, and our president claims they’re wanted "dead
or alive," so we should all help to hunt them down and
"smoke ‘em out." I don’t have a problem
with any of this, but I do insist that we not behave as a lynch
mob. We’re Americans, so let’s start by looking
at all the evidence, and not killing anybody until we’re
sure of who did this. That only makes sense.
Join the 9-11Truth
Movement. Either you’re with us, or you’re with
the terrorists. — Jolly
