I am a self proclaimed Patriot with George Washington as one of my all time heroes</B>. So when conspiracy theories quickly surfaced, and "Liberals" cried foul on the erosion of civil liberties, I chalked it up to their political beliefs and bitterness towards the Republican President. I read many debunking articles - including Popular Mechanics - and watched many debunking videos including, Farenhype 9/11. <B>I was convinced that these "Liberals" were misinformed and were grasping at straws to discredit the "official" story</B>. Like most people with strong opinions, instead of looking at all the facts, I was specifically looking for anything that supported my own beliefs. As soon as I discovered any inaccuracy in a conspiracy claim, I wrote it off. My father, a big city cop and Korean War veteran, loved to say, "don't confuse me with the facts, I have my mind made up!" Well, I had my mind made up. <B>I told conspiracy theorists like my own Truck Officer, Lt. Earl Emerson, that they were insane if they thought anyone other than the terrorists did this</B>. Heck, we have ID cards, security camera videos, Bin Laden confession tapes - how much clearer did they need it? The years went on and I was satisfied in my beliefs. I even believed these "Wackos" that doubted the "official" story were distracting our country from focusing on the real threat of terrorism...<BR/><BR/>Fast forward to March of 2008. A great friend of mine with a Business degree from West Point, as conservative and non-conspiratorial as they get, came over one night to talk about what he saw happening in the economy. He provided some disconcerting evidence that we as a nation are at risk of entering into another depression; he pointed out historical parallels where other countries, such as Germany, suffered economic collapse. THAT was my eye opener. I became obsessed researching things such as economies, who is in control of currencies, what causes depressions, who profits during war, etc. So many things kept pointing to 9/11. Another one of my dad's favorite quotes was, "believe half of what you see and none of what you hear." So, I looked at both sides and quickly noticed a pattern. On one side, the general media ignores some of the most compelling evidence that contradicts the "official" story...</I>"<BR/><BR/>(<A HREF="http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20080905193523909" REL="nofollow">Erik Lawyer</A>, fire fighter).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-2880993876725993572009-02-01T06:10:00.000-06:002009-02-01T06:10:00.000-06:00At the elite word a thon, Davos, the bushies are b...At the elite <I>word a thon</I>, Davos, the bushies are <A HREF="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601170&refer=home&sid=abAA1ieh6wTk" REL="nofollow">blaming the financial meltdown on the cavemen</A> of the world:<BR/><BR/><I>“No banker or businessman wants to take responsibility,” said Dilenschneider, who counts 40 Davos delegates as clients, their identities shielded by confidentiality agreements. “It’s their view that everybody else did something wrong.”</I>Dreddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673418865926403671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-23353082825527999562009-01-31T17:49:00.000-06:002009-01-31T17:49:00.000-06:00Sometimes the whole story is the psychology of whe...Sometimes the whole story is <A HREF="http://www.bohemian.com/bohemian/08.27.08/cover-911.truth-0835.html" REL="nofollow">the psychology of whether or not someone has the capacity to believe something</A> or whether they must instead protect themselves with the drug of denial.<BR/><BR/>I mean admit it, we all take pain pills from time to time.
