Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels wrote ~ “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
I was interviewed on a local radio show in Sonoma Valley yesterday about 9/11. As an original signer of the 2004 9/11 Truth Petition my position was well known ~ We still owe the approximately 3000 people who died that day the truth and the thoroughly discredited 9/11 commission has barely scratched the surface in finding the truth of 9/11.
A recent open letter to me from a reader ( Aaron Brinegar ) reflects the general frustration with the truth regarding 9/11 ~ " The year 2001 was not a good one for me. I lost my wife of 40 years to ovarian cancer. The business that I was a sales manager with filed for bankruptcy and closed its doors 5 days before Christmas. I have properly grieved those losses to the best of my ability and moved on with my life. On this date 8 years ago today, however, America became the victim of an act so despicable it defies imagination. I will never be able to find peace nor solace until it can be proven once and for all beyond any shadow of a doubt that fire alone caused the collapse of the WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7. I am not a conspiracy nut and normally give a wide berth to those that are, but if you wish to think of me as such for posing the question, so be it. Never in the history of modern architecture, any where the world over, has there been a high rise steel structured building collapse neatly into its own footprint at close to free fall speed because of fire. Never! Yet it happened not once, not twice, but three times on 9/11. I have 5 video clips of building 7 on my hard drive viewed from different angles as it fell and I simply can not accept that it was fire alone that imploded this building and brought it to the ground in 6.5 seconds. I would stake my life on it. Forget the hundreds of other questions that the commission report failed to adequately answer. I am not interested. I make no accusations and point no fingers. I simply want to know what really brought the buildings down. So should you. I urge you not to categorically reject out of hand all those who question the official position as fools and lunatics. Please, I urge you to investigate with an open mind. A couple of starting places might be the architects and engineers web site (ae911truth.org) or the firefighters site (firefightersfor911truth.org). This most infamous day in our nations history deserves an impartial and unbiased investigative closure more fitting than the one it was given."
Aaron is correct ~ an Investigation into 9/11, has one central thesis ~ that the official version of the events surrounding the attacks on 9/11 cannot be true. This brand new feature documentary from Italian production company Telemaco explores the latest scientific evidence and reveals dramatic new witness testimony, which directly conflicts with the US Government's account.

Both of my radio interviewers were not open to hearing this truth and one actually walked out of the studio when I quoted Captain Russ Wittenberg , U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and commercial pilot who had previously flown flight 93 ~ which impacted in Pennsylvania and flight 175 ~ the second plane to hit the WTC ~ " The whole government story they handed us about 9/11 is total B.S. plain and simple ! " Regarding flight 77 " The airplane could not have flown at those speeds which they said it did without going into a high speed stall. The airplane won't go that fast if you start pulling those high G maneuvers at those bank angles ... The vehicle that hit the Pentagon was not Flight 77 "
The only person who called into the radio show agreed that we need to search deeper for the truth about 9/11.
Both of my hosts seemed to reflect what Carl Sagan called one of the saddest lessons of history ~ " 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 is simply too painful to acknowledge , even to ourselves, that we’ve been so credulous. "
And that's the sad lesson of 9/11 ~ close to the majority of Americans have bought into the BIG LIE of 9/11 and are not interested in finding the truth ~ because the truth would be far too painful to acknowledge and accept.
This is born out by yesterdays Rasmussen polls ~ Forty-nine percent (49%) of Americans believe that most of their fellow countrymen have already forgotten the impact of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in which 3,000 died.
The truth of 9/11 has been swept under the rug of our consciousness ~ replaced by annual prayers for the dead and an almost benigned acceptance of the BIG LIE.
But this is not surprising because most Americans just don't care about the truth. Bill Maher makes this same point in this recent classic 4 minute video entitled ~ MOST AMERICANS ARE DUMB AND UNEDUCATED in which he points out that 34% of Americans still feel that Saddam Hussein was personally responsible for the 9/11 attacks, 24 % of Americans do not know who America fought in the Revolutionary war, 50% of Americans don't know that every state has two senators and ( drum roll please ) 18% of Americans still think the Sun revolves around the Earth.
When I despair of this, I think of Gandhi's words ~ " When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fail. Think of it ~ always."
