On 9/11

Views on the tragic events of September the 11th, 2001, and what caused them to transpire vary greatly. There is the official conspiracy theory formulated by high levels of the US government and other official agencies which have repeatedly spewed epic lies and have clearly used this crisis for the furtherance of a political agenda; or the alternative theory which has its roots in valid skepticism arising from omissions and distortions indicative of a cover-up in the official narrative. The alternative theory raises the uncomfortable possibility and the confronting and unpopular notion that criminal elements within high levels of power, at the very least, allowed this crisis to occur in order to advance a political agenda, of which they apply to the definition of terrorism as the use of terror to enforce ones own political agenda, or, the even more disturbing thought that this crime syndicate engineered the 9/11 crisis as a false-flag operation for the same purpose.
Given the history of either direct or indirect state-sponsored terrorism as a form of mass 'shock therapy' to disorientate the population for systematic manipulation and the advancement of an agenda- the politics of fear, and the fact that the Helegian principle of Problem, Reaction, Solution was even considered as liable means of justifying wars as indicated by the Northwoods document, to question the authenticity, credibility and validity of the official conspiracy theory is certainly not beyond the realm of reason.
Regardless of your views on 9/11, whether it was a real or state-synthesized terror crisis, one thing remains abundantly clear... that elite figures within high positions of power have utilized this crisis as a pretext and catalyst for:

• Launching a series of economically and interpersonally costly wars which reap huge profits for the military-industrial complex, notably arms manufacturers and the banks responsible for financing the wars. To ordinary people war may be bloodshed, but to these, its big business.
• Accessing and securing for the West an increasingly scarce commodity - oil.
• Relinquishing civil liberties under the patriotic cloak of homeland security and thereby granting the state greater power over the person, ultimately contributing to the incremental consolidation and centralization of power and the progressive formation of a Big Brother state control-grid.
• Obtaining for the American state a key strategic geopolitical foothold in the Middle-east.

If the alternative theories regarding 9/11, suggesting government complicity, are at the very least, even plausible, then we are obliged to act. Ignorance is bliss because it implies being unaware and therefore not being responsible for one's actions. Being aware and informed implies an obligation to act appropriately on one's consciousness. If even plausible, we must focus our energies in seeking truth, asking questions and demanding accountability and justice for the victims, their families and the world.
In an age of misinformation, it is critical to seek truth amid deception, to seek clarity amid distortion, and to think outside the square of the corporate media box and to see the bigger picture. As George Orwell fittingly stated, "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
