Remembering 9/11 - The Perpetual War

9/11 Became a Perpetual War on Our Freedom

The 9/11 attack on America was a prelude for perpetual U.S. war on the Middle East and Africa. The U.S. has been responding with bombs of its own ever since.

A series of wars not related to 9/11 — but launched under the guise of the "war on terror" and using the imprimatur of the 2001 authorization to use force agreement — were launched and continue to this day upon the Middle Eastern, Persian and North African nations and people. As a result, the entire region is destabilized; millions of innocent people have been killed, injured and displaced; and untold trillions of dollars of infrastructure, buildings and homes have been destroyed. The people have been left homeless, destitute, starving and diseased.

The U.S. has bombed wedding parties and birthdays in Pakistan and U.S. citizens in Yemen. In order to "save" citizens in Libya, it bombed them. It helped assassinate Moammar Gadhafi. "We came, we saw, he died," Clinton yucked when she learned of Gadhafi's death.

It's bombed people in Mali, Somalia and Algeria. According to the Bureau for Investigative Journalism, the U.S. drone campaign has killed thousands of innocent civilians, including hundreds of children. Tens of thousands more died in Libya from NATO (read U.S.) bombs.

The result of that exercise in "soft power" was a power vacuum in a once peaceful country that resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Libyans, and hundreds of thousands more impoverished and caught in the crossfire of a sundry of militant groups vying for power and a UN-installed government in charge of parts of the country. It also enabled the gunrunning operation through the Libyan consulate that got Ambassador Chris Stephens and three others killed.

Is anyone surprised that there are people in the world who bitterly hate the United States and its rulers?

The U.S. spawned ISIS in 2006 with an assist from Saudi Arabia and nurtured, aided and abetted the terror organization's campaign against Syria with the help of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Israel. For a time we were told ISIS even posed an existential threat to America — the greatest threat since Nazi Germany, they said.

7500 FBI Agents & Military Personnel have died since the attack cancer

 related diseases alone to explosions from the Pentagon building…

 

The U.S. continues to fund and protect al-Qaida-linked anti-Syrian forces and President Donald Trump has warned Syria and its ally Russia not to eradicate the U.S.-backed "rebels" in Idlib, threatening a confrontation. U.S. warmongers of late — apparently able to discern future events — predict a Syrian chemical weapons attack on the rebels, which serves to provide cover for another false flag chemical release by the rebels on Syrians in Idlib.

Syria is just another stepping stone to war in Iran which would culminate the globalist's plans to destabilize and conquer the Middle East as outlined in the Council on Foreign Relations' playbook, The Project for the New American Century, and the Brookings Institute's Which Path to Persia.

The U.S. is also expanding its war in Africa, backing Saudi Arabia and providing them with refueling and logistical support for its war on Yemen. Foreign Policy, a mouthpiece publication of the establishment, notes America is building a $110 million drone base in Niger to patrol the skies and target militants and smugglers traveling between Niger, Libya, Algeria, Mali, and Chad. The base will soon house some 650 members of the U.S. military.

It is very difficult to get any truth in America from the politicians or the controlled media. And certainly the official story of the 9/11 attack is a conspiracy theory.

It is risky to believe anything official. The art of war is that all warfare is based on deception and that rulers must cultivate the appearance of moral rightness in order to rally the people and persuade them to fight. It works!

That's right. The official story is a lie. Not even the 9/11 Commission believes it got to the bottom of what happened that day because of a massive cover-up by agencies and actors within the U.S. government. Dozens of questionssurrounding the official narrative remain unanswered, and the establishment and those trapped in conventional wisdom or suffering from normalcy bias relegate the questions to fringe nuttery and dismiss them.

No one even bothers to ponder what happened to WTC 7, the first skyscraper in history to collapse as a result of fire (the official story).


In short, the 9/11 event only served the interests of the U.S. establishment. Much private freedom has been lost in the interest of "security," not to mention the killing and maiming (both physically and mentally) of thousands of U.S. service members plus trillions upon trillions of dollars stolen from the American people through money printing and to support the military-industrial machine.

The so-called "war on terror" was supposed to make us safe from terror attacks. But despite the years of war, we are told the terror threat now is as great as ever and false flag terror attacks — the FBI is surprisingly involved every time in either facilitating them or in tracking the culprits, only to lose them at the last minute — are occurring with greater frequency.

Now in terms of psychological warfare against the American people by "our" own government, "attacks" on the U.S. only serve to build the power and despotism of the establishment.

All modern wars are bankster wars; and the banksters and corporatists make out like bandits while the people are killed, maimed, impoverished and enslaved. The "war on terror" is a fraud orchestrated by the elites and designed to create the New World Order. That's the truth; but the American people, for the most part, don't believe it and will not even consider it.

The un-Patriot Act which was a result was passed in a rush and then renewed again in order to eliminate ALL privacy and circumvent the 4th Amendment and most banking regulations on Americans is the most un-American set of laws in our history and those legislators who passed these laws [especially George Bush] should be ashamed to call themselves Americans…

Yours for the truth,

Triad might reap further rewards for its persistence. It’s one of a handful of firms that are poised to benefit from a nascent comeback for manufactured homes, shipments of which have been on the rise since 2009. Consolidation among producers and the exodus of lenders have left a just few businesses -- including three owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. -- to dominate a market that looks primed for growth in the face of rising prices for site-built houses and the potential for regulatory change.


The level of U.S. consumer debt was $618 billion higher than the previous peak of $12.68 trillion in the third quarter of 2008. It was 19.2 percent above a post global credit crisis low set in the second quarter of 2013, the New York Fed said.


Outstanding education debt in the U.S. has tripled over the last decade and now exceeds $1.5 trillion, posing a greater burden to Americans than auto or credit card debt.
For many, the payments are proving unmanageable. By 2023, nearly 40 percent of borrowers are expected to default on their student loans.

America: Designed by Geniuses-Enjoy What's Left of the Freedom They Fought For

America:  Designed by Geniuses…Enjoy Your Freedom

 

I especially like the 4th of July is because of what the holiday celebrates, which is our overall freedom. As Mrs. Poor Man Survivor will tell you, we’re pretty independent people [some might say stubborn]. I think that rules should be kept to a minimum. You should be free to live your life and make your decisions. I should have the same freedom for my life, and we should both respect each other's freedom. This is one of the main reasons I’ve always despised the mis-named Patriot Act, which eroded the Bill of Rights and our personal privacy…making us LESS Free!

 

For inspiration we watched the movie The Patriot which is loosely based on events and one of my boyhood heroes of that war, the Swamp Fox, Francis Marion.

 

The Patriot is a 2000 American epic historical fiction war film directed by Roland Emmerich, written by Robert Rodat, and starring Mel Gibson, Chris Cooper, Heath Ledger, and Jason Isaacs. The film mainly takes place in rural York County, South Carolina, and depicts the story of an American swept into the American Revolutionary War when his family is threatened. Benjamin Martin is a composite figure the scriptwriter claims is based on four factual figures from the American Revolutionary War, Andrew Pickens, Francis Marion, Daniel Morgan, and Thomas Sumter.

 

The Patriot is a grand epic full of action and emotion....But it's also surprisingly insightful in its evaluation of the American ideal—if not the reality.

 

Bill O’Reilly produced a series which portrayed a very historically accurate picture of our Founding Fathers and the events that led up to our war for Independence and it is something that should be taught in every American high school as it seems too few graduates today have a grasp of our history.

However I consider myself fortunate to live in the U.S. where that's still largely true to significant degree. It does seem that we have more and more rules, but according to the
Human Freedom Index, the U.S. ranks 23rd in freedom, something which continually drops each year. My hope and prayer is that we maintain that freedom.

 

I find it so ironic that many of the freedoms our founders fought for have gone by the wayside by the cretins who now run [ruin] our nation that I have little doubt few would recognize the nation today as something they fought for.

 

I know many of our returning veterans often wonder why they bothered fighting to preserve our freedoms only to see politicians whittle away at our Bill of Rights…perhaps someday these people will wake up and see what we’ve lost.  Think about this bumper sticker recently seen:

 

America: Designed by Geniuses; Run by Idiots.


 

Much like Orwell’s Big Brother in 1984, the government and its corporate spies now watch our every move.

Much like Huxley’s
A Brave New World, we are churning out a society of watchers who “have their liberties taken away from them, but … rather enjoy it, because they [are] distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing.”

Much like Atwood’s
The Handmaid’s Tale, the populace is now taught to “know their place and their duties, to understand that they have no real rights but will be protected up to a point if they conform, and to think so poorly of themselves that
they will accept their assigned fate and not rebel or run away.”

And in keeping with Philip K. Dick’s darkly prophetic vision of a dystopian police state—which became the basis for
Steven Spielberg’s futuristic thriller Minority Report which was released 15 years ago—we are now trapped into a world in which the government is all-seeing, all-knowing and all-powerful, and if you dare to step out of line, dark-clad police SWAT teams and pre-crime units will crack a few skulls to bring the populace under control.

Minority Report is set in the year 2054, but it could just as well have taken place in 2017.
 
Good citizens won't let these destructive government actions continue!

 

Yours for freedom,

 Bruce, the Poor Man!

An open letter to the political elite: Stop ruining our country or else...


    
An open letter to Congress & the White House…

 

Why are you ruining our country?

 


   I grew up as a child of the 1950s when our collective governments pretty much left citizens alone.  Taxes were reasonable and didn’t require computerized software or CPAs and most states and cities did not dip into our wallets.

 

During the past few generations, government has become a behemoth, smothering citizens with red tape and overregulation – often created by unelected bureaucrats without benefit of legislation!  In many areas a citizen cannot even build a dog house without government permission and fees.  We have more rules and regulations than we need and it is choking entrepreneurship and as a result, job growth.

 

Back then corporations bore the lion’s share of taxes.  They are no longer good corporate citizens and since the 1980s they off-shored US jobs and cut benefits to the bone.  I made more money in the 80s than most companies pay today.  The majority of middle class jobs with benefits are government jobs and the taxpayer supports these jobs despite not being able to enjoy the same benefits.

 

Americans are finding freedom of choice a vanishing option today as virtually every element of our lives are dictated by law…everything from how much water our toilet uses to our ineffective public school system where despite huge injections of tax dollars over the past 20 years, fewer children today can spell or have a working knowledge of our history.

 


Since passage of the so-called Patriot Act [perhaps the most obnoxious set of laws ever forced onto what was once a free people] we have seen our ability to travel freely diminished through checkpoints and passport requirements…the entire country got screwed because of 11 terrorists and it has created a monstrously TSA system which has never caught a single terrorist.  Great return on our investment.

 

Further, our right to privacy has been eliminated through this act and the mandatory use of a socialist slave number, oh, I mean social security number which has done more to boost white collar crime in terms of identity theft than anything else…thank you very much! 

 

Our entire financial house of cards nearly crashed in 2009 and taxpayers once again were tapped to bail out all your Wall Street buddies, yet no one is serving time in jail for these crimes.

 

The average American hasn’t had a real raise since 1972, yet inflation has eliminated 40% or more of spending power since 2005. 

 

Career politicians seem more a scourge to our nation than benefit.  I always laugh at how Mrs. Clinton snookered New Yorkers into ‘adopting’ her so she could continue her feeding at the public trough as a senator.  Frankly, most Americans I know of are TIRED of political families like the Clinton’s, the Bush’s, the Kennedy’s and so on who have dominated our system over the years.

 

Congress has done such a wonderful job managing our nation’s finances that they give themselves an automatic raise each year while maintaining gold plated benefits and perks that the rest of the nation could only dream about – NO wonder all of you work so hard on staying in one office or another.

 

From our President to most members of Congress, FEW have ever served a day in the military or have created jobs and been responsible for a payroll…many have never even held a job in their adult lives but sanctimoniously call their careers ‘public service.’  Few have provided any real service to citizens as they’re usually too busy rounding up cash donors so they may continue to feed at the public trough.

 

If it were possible to bring back our founding fathers, they would be screaming at us to get off our lazy butts and start another revolution…but as we all know, most people don’t have a clue why we had a revolution as everything the King had in place, our own government does now.

 

Hell, with the NSA, TSA, DHS, etc. in place our nation more closely resembles the old Soviet Union.  Have you checked out the Planks of the Communist Manifesto recently?

 
Watching the erosion of good government over the past half century has left me bitter and disillusioned.

 

We have too much government, too many laws and too many government employees.  Here are a couple of suggestions:

 

·        If you’ve been in government since the internet was created, please retire.

·        For every new law you create, get rid of two

·        Get rid of the Patriot Act – it has done zero to promote freedom

 

I know I speak for many when I say we’re tired of imperious, arrogant attitude the political elite display toward our populace…stop interfering with our freedom or we’ll be forced to storm the bastille!
 
WE ARE ALL GETTING MAD AS HELL AND WILL NOT TAKE IT MUCH LONGER!
