The Official 9/11 Myth Turns 10

We've heard time and time again over the past 10 years from many in government that 9/11 happened because “terrorists hate our freedoms.” It's an incredibly simplistic characterization of the alleged motivation behind the crime of the century, but let's just take it at face value for a minute. The terrorists hate our freedoms, so we have to fight a “Global War on Terror” to defend those freedoms – another mantra, by the way, that we've heard endlessly repeated over the past decade – the soldiers are “fighting for our freedoms.” How then can it possibly make sense to appease the terrorists by adopting legislation and policy that weakens those freedoms?

9/11: Still No Justice

“Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th. Malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists themselves; away from the guilty.” - George W. Bush at the United Nations, 11/10/01
Two months after 9/11 the gaping wound in our collective psyche was still fresh. Most of the world was still struggling with the unprecedented enormity of the attacks, acting on the natural desire to come together to find solace and try to make sense of it all. The time was right to cynically parlay that instinctive unity into the widely held belief that any discourse that doesn't adhere strictly to the official storyline is an “outrageous conspiracy theory.”

Healthcare No-Brainer

There is an easy answer. It's just that the talking heads, the politicians and the corporate pimps who own all of them don't want to talk about it because it puts people before profit. The answer is single payer, universal healthcare.
