Truth...or fiction?

Throughout our time as humans on this planet, throughout modern AND ancient history, there has been a constant record of governments lying to the citizens. Nero set fire to Rome and blamed the Christians to encourage persecution of them. Hitler set fire to the Reichstag and blamed it on the Communists in order to unite the country to war. Our governments, who are intended to be our protectors, fail in truthfulness. And are quite often intentionally dishonest, using lies to rile up the citizens and unite them in some action that the government wants to take, but needs to legitimize it somehow. And thus, the lies are born. And we, as citizens, become puppets as our emotional strings are pulled and yanked in whatever direction the government wants us to go. We become slaves to their will, unknowing of their true intentions until it is too late.
December 7, 1941 and September 11, 2001 are two dates that will always be remembered. 60 years had passed since we had an attack on our own soil, two days that both involved airplanes and "faulty intelligence".
December 7, 1941. It was a Sunday morning in beautiful Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. There was a report made of incoming planes, but the report was not thought to be anything out of the ordinary. The U.S. was expecting a fleet of B-17 bombers to be coming in from a direction so similar that it was only a few degrees off. And the sailors watching the radar had never seen a fleet of enemy planes as large as this one, so they mistakenly assumed that they were American.
September 11. 2001. George W. Bush was at an elementary school, listening to a little girl read a story about her pet goat. He was doing one of his numerous publicity stunts about the importance of education. One of the White House men with him leaned over and whispered into his ear. Bush did not respond, but bent down towards the children for more poses. Norman Mineta told Lee Hamilton:
“During the time that the airplane was coming into the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President…the plane is 50 miles out…the plane is 30 miles out….and when it got down to the plane is 10 miles out, the young man also said to the vice president “do the orders still stand?” And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said “Of course the orders still stand, have you heard anything to the contrary!?"'

After reading all of the information presented there, I find it very hard to put blind trust into the vague report of the 9/11 Commission. There is just NO reason why the USAF would permit a plane to enter into the 40 miles of most restricted airspace in the COUNTRY unless they had been told to stand down! And what truthful, just, pure reasoning would someone in power USE to ORDER such a thing? There are none. The Pentagon is the core of our defense. The core of our government. To allow an attack on that would provoke the proper emotional response to hurrah the President into going to war with a country that had nothing to do with the attack, but all of the oil for the U.S. to gain. The United States has falsely accused the Middle East of things for which they are not at fault. And our army has invaded their countries. Their homes. They have kicked in the doors of their homes while they were having supper, pointed guns at them, yelled at them in a language that they did not understand, told them to get against the wall while they ransack their possessions, and left them, shaken, bitter, and resentful.
And the "resistance fighters". The "terrorists". I'm not saying that what they are doing is right. But didn't America do the same thing in 1776? We resisted England. We killed the English. Shot them, butchered them for invading what was ours. We are occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, building military bases and bomb shelters. We are planting ourselves in countries that are not ours. If another country was occupying America, how would we treat them? Give them candy and sweet words? NO! We would be hunting them down. It is protection of the land from a foreign threat, which is what we are to them!
They hate America. They hate the immorality, and the common religion of Christianity. I am a practicing Christian, not just one by birth or raising, so I can't agree with them on THAT reason for hating us. But the immorality is enormous...fornication is promoted and smiled at, immodesty is prevalent, greed is accepted and praised, women are placing themselves above men, (some) men and women are becoming homosexual, television is praising this type of lifestyle as our filthy shows and movies are aired in countless countries. America has turned its back on God, and has become a greedy parasite, consumed with lust and greed.
Some of the citizens can remember days when it was not so terrible. When Daddy worked, and Mommy stayed home and raised the children. When the word "sex" was not even whispered in the hallways of high school. When the "bad women" were known an shunned as such, not embraced as they are now.
Times have changed. The country's departure from God has led us into greed, which in turn has led us into war. The deaths of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines are not tainted by the politics of this war. Their intentions were true. Their service was true. But the chain-of-command which was responsible for their demise will not walk away with such clean hands and pure hearts as the fallen.
What blind trust that once was encouraged, and maybe warranted in the past is gone. It is now every man for himself. The government will not protect us anymore. What used to be "us" is now "us" and "them". They don't represent us anymore. Their political pork has ensnared the senator's attentions, and Congress' unending support of this tyrannical President and his "good intentions" is tainted by their greediness of heart.

Oh my Gosh! I actually agree with a lot of this. I hate how the media and common culture is so sex obsessed and how senators don't truthfully represent their people anymore...what happened to common sense?
