I only asked for clarification dude. To be quite honest, I don't where I stand in regards to 9/11. I haven't researched the issue much at all. I do know that Bush really capitalized on the fear, using it as a pretense to take away freedoms. To that, I (or rather Benjamin Franklin) say(s):
Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither. Amen.
Exactly.
If the acts of 911 were not orchestrated by the US government, the elected officials used the attack against their own people to enact shit like the Patriot Act, and establish the largest government America has ever seen. Are they all to blame? No, some of them were tricked exactly how the rest of the world was. But there are definitely people who knew what they were doing, usurping power disguised as legitimate legislation designed to protect us. Just as the man said, "Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither" - and this is exactly what he meant.
I'd like to think we still have the power to voice our opinions on the national stage, but it seems we don't have any representatives who give a damn about our voice to begin with...
But then, there's the media. The organization I as a child thought was there to tell us what's happening, at that time not knowing the meaning of political agendas or political bias... Everyone in America gets their information from the mainstream media. The government responsible for the suspicious legislation, via spokespeople and ''journalists'' essentially controls the main stories that get aired on the news. That means the majority of Americans only hear what this already in power administration wants them to hear. A government that resorts to that level of brainwashing makes the biggest contradiction ever claiming to be free. Sure we're free to do what we want, and we're more ''free'' than most people in the world, but we still experience a level of slavery that cycles all the time but never changes. The majority of us are willfully ignorant to the shit that could save the next generations minds and end this goddamn cycle once and for all. There just aren't enough of us to make a dent in the system.
