All politicians are Wall Street Criminals, including Trump. Most people just prioritize their emotional comfort over the truth.

I've seen plenty of videos of him saying plenty of things, but it doesn't really matter. People believe whatever they want, no matter what evidence is there or not. Obama is shady. The Clintons are Shady. Trump is shady. Theres plenty on all of them and our criminal politicians give about as much of a fuck about us as the dA Staff gives about us!

I remember 9-11-2001 every time I see 9:11 on a clock... that was the worst terrorist attack in the history of the United States and if anyone has forgotten about it then they simply do not care about it as I do.

When it comes to 9-11 or anything else that is controversial, Larken Rose did a pretty good job of explaining vetting using the scientific process:
This video tends to effect people in one of two ways. They either really love it, or I get blocked for showing it to them. lol ... I've yet to see a middle ground reaction. Though there is a first time for everything. lol

I agree with that video, some people just have the lies of a certain topic shoved so far up their asses that they cannot or do not want to comprehend anything other than what might be the actual truth to the subject, quite like a lot of people saying that the Confederate States of America and any remnants of it in the United States today is racist when all along, it is not the Confederacy that is racist, it is some of the individuals who rally under the Confederate name who are the racists such as the KKK or any other white supremacy group.
To be honest, I've heard so many notions and stories about why 9-11 happened that I am confused on why it happened.

The other problem is that people are taught to be so narrow minded that they do not realize that reality is a cake, not a light switch. By light switch I mean absolutist extremist thinking. Which is what the school system teaches us. Its neurotic. This is done on purpose. Most people do not want to know the truth about how corrupt all governments are, nor do they want to know the truth about how corporations puppet all governments. It is very offensive truth to understand that countries are just squares on a chess board, and that these top 1% big shots play the whole planet like its a game of chess. This truth is extremely offensive to the ego. Because the ego has been trained to think in more extreme measures than a tantruming toddler. This is why the truths of 9-11, as well as the truths you stated about the confederate flag, hide from so many people. The ideas of what you said about it are cake thinking. In other words, lots of different ingredients coming together to form a whole. That its not "this or that", "black or white", "up or down" sort of toddler thinking.
The world is run more like a corporate mob than anything. So false flag attacks such as 9-11 are as easy to understand as any other. Think of it like a really huge mob hit. And understand that mob hits are less about killing people the mob is mad at, and more about making a chess move as a part of a larger game. All of these corporate thugs have large agendas to match their large egos. But when we do not realize the chess game exists, then events like 9-11 get really confusing because we're taught to think the world is a mirror clone to leave it to beaver or the brady bunch. All citizens of each country want to assume that their country is wonderful and their government can do no wrong. As soon as a country thinks this, they have guaranteed their fate. Just like Rome or any other empire.
Larken Rose made a documentary to help clarify this and I think you might like it. Its called "It Can't Happen Here".
[video] It Can't Happen Here. Can It???This video is for all those who imagine that there is some sort of magic that renders the United States immune to the tyranny that has plagued every other major empire in history. DVDs of this video--in normal resolution and high definition--will be available soon. -Larken Rose

Yeah. First you watched the short Larken Rose video. Then I said there is a SECOND VIDEO that is LONG but WELL WORTH IT. It is called "It Can't Happen Here". I gave you the JOURNAL POST in which I had EMBEDDED the YouTube Video. Then you responded saying you had watched it. You already said you watched the first short one, so I knew that already. Then I clearly asked about the second one, and you responded to my direct inquiry about the second one saying you watched it. So I'll make my questions more pointed and specific:
01) Did you specifically watch the "Larken Rose - Mental Malware" video?
02) Did you click into the journal entry called "It Can't Happen Here. Can It?"
03) Have you specifically watched Larken Roses's "It Can't Happen Here" YouTube Documentary Video that I embedded into the before mentioned journal entry?
Hopefully my questions were pointed and specific enough to avoid any future confusion.

Hm, the way I see it, the public and military are ignoring it because they abstractly assume its "just another raghead squabble among thousands". A certain war with Iraq where we thought AlQaeda was hiding has helped generate such apathy.
Maybe it'd be a different story if AlQaeda went and kidnapped 300 schoolgirls in one go....

paradigm-shifting In reply to kyrtuck [2014-06-02 22:20:59 +0000 UTC]
I think that when the government claims that its okay to back Al Qaeda on the side of the Syrian rebels, and these are supposedly the same people who took down the twin towers -- then to me this says something about our government. And the fact that people and the military will look away from anything that seems damned inconvenient -- is quite ashame. We let psychopaths run the world, and we think this is supposed to be okay. We deserve to get fucked in every and all possible ways if we're going to just let it happen and deem psychopathic behaviour as acceptable.
If we can't see history continuing to repeat and we refuse to open our eyes, we deserve what we get. Think of it like a bee hive. If we're told not to shake the bee hive because we'll get stung, but we do it anyways -- we deserve to get stung. And if we make excuses for ourselves and say "well, that bee hive was a democrat bee hive, the republican bee hive won't be a problem" and we do it again and get stung again, we again deserve what we get. That was a metaphor to make a point, of course.
The world is run the way it has always been run. To me its extremely simple.
Divide and conquer.
Use fear combined with dogma and indoctrination to keep the masses in line.
Pit the masses against each other.
Profit from it like a mofo.
There is no other industry more lucrative than war. It is the most profitable above any other. And never in history have any of these ultra rich kings and queens (though now we call them presidents and prime ministers, as we pretend we're all free) ever fought their own wars. Its just like chess. You don't send your king and queen out to the front lines with the pawns, rooks and knights to get slaughtered. Thats not how you win the game.
Most of all of the facts and semantics on just about any subject you can think of are just irrelevant distraction. And it works because we love to argue. To fight. To bicker and bitch. Love it love it love it! So like 3 year olds, we are easily distracted by anything. Especially arguments and debates. So we do not see the simple common threads that bind all of these things together, because its fun to argue. Fun to debate. Fun to bicket and bitch. Fun to feel justified. Fun to be violent. Fun to fight. Fun to kill. And that is the mentality we are raised up from little kids to beleive in.
Do as we are told. question nothing. blindly obey. fit in. follow the trends. don't make waves. conform to accepted norms. be branded as an outcast if you refuse to conform. be a slave. war is peace. ignorance is strength. slavery is freedom.
We were born in a psychopathic system. Raised to be psychopaths. It seems normal to us. Logical. Rational. Right. Justified.
And thats what these so-called truthers refuse to understand. They bicker and bitch about tyranny but they are the same way as the elites. lol. Look at how quick they are to attack each other and call each other government plants and whatever else, simply just because someones view is slightly different than someone elses. Its a joke. lol
Lets say hypothetically, that all countries on Earth were all merged into two countries. Just two. Now imagine both see each other as the enemy. Both think that war brings peace. Now lets imagine that one completely wipes out the other. So, you think there would be peace? Of course not. The fighting would turn inward. We are addicted to violence. We are raised to think that fighting and abusing each other is the only way to solve anything. Anything outside of that belief system just seems stupid. Delusional. airy fairy. unrealistic. illogical. unintelligent.
So if we refuse to open our minds to new lines of thinking -- then what does any debate or any war between anyone hope to accomplish? Its all just adding fuel to the same ole fire as it keeps burning and burning. More and more destruction. Nothing ever gets accomplished. And the ultra-rich assholes at the top seem to forget that if they were to completely ruin the planet (hopefully they don't) that they won't have a place to live either. So then everyone loses.
Everything I just said is core basic stuff. It requires no semantics. No conspiracy theories. Just a little common sense. And yes, that is too much to ask of most people.

Well, politicians do the same thing as well. Its amazing that anyone even believes politicians or the main stream media anymore. Though I guess when both have to resort to claiming that everyone who doesn't agree with them is a racist, terrorist, or whatever else -- I suppose that goes to show that the people are waking up more and they are terrified of this awakening. When everyone was willing to be completely complacent and naive, they didn't have to use such strong gestures to try to snap people back in line.

"The United States is committed to building the capacity of the moderate opposition, including through the provision of assistance to vetted members of the moderate armed opposition," said National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan, when asked recently about the TOW missiles. "As we have consistently said, we are not going to detail every single type of our assistance."
Nowhere in here do I read Al Qaeda, nor do I think any reasonable thinkers out there, which excludes you redneck nazi sister-fucking republicans, would consider Al Qaeda moderate. Putin's government (Russian commie pinkos, to you racist, christ-licking, right-wing Bush-loving sycophants) is happily supplying arms to Assad, the despot president fighting the rebels we support. If you can peel your eyes off Honey-fucking-Boo-Boo long enough to read about his atrocities, maybe you'll see something. Fuck, who am I kidding? You guys can't read anything unless it comes from a Klan pamphlet. You Fox newsers are back to your old fear-mongering tricks. What a surprise. Can you have an original thought? Or does Megyn Kelly have you by the short neurons? Where's Glenn Beck when you need the mormon point of view?
Will arms fall into the wrong hands? Probably. We gave Osama bin Laden and the mujahadeen a shitload of weapons when Reagan was king. Saddam Hussein got the chemical weapons he used on his people from the GHW Bush-CIA days . . . if those incidents were by accident, quit your fucking whining. If they were on purpose, then quit your fucking whining. You hypocritical, pseudo-christian fucks.
Saudi Arabia . . . remember them, repubs? Remember it was Saudis who perpetrated 9/11? Remember the Bush dynasty has long-held ties to the Saudi royal family? Remember how Bush authorized bin Laden's family members to quietly leave the U.S. right after the towers fell? And this was during the time when all civilian air traffic was grounded. You short-and-selective memory assholes. Well, Saudi is backing the rebels, too. Support our allies, right? You Freedom Fry munching morons. Oh. did you forget bin Laden was a Saudi? That's convenient.
