It matters what kind of stories we tell ourselves. Do we believe 9/11 was done by Islamic extremists or by people in the highest positions of authority in Washington? If we follow logic and practice common sense then we must choose the later story because it is the true history of who was behind the September 11 attacks.
How we understand the past enables us to confront the problems of the present with a good sense of how these problems evolved, and how they can be solved with a clear eye. We can’t put to bed the forces of war and chaos who have gained control of the Pentagon and the CIA if we don’t have any idea about why they are awake in the first place. What motivates the big guys inside the CIA and White House who were behind 9/11 is not the security of the United States, or the health of the American republic, but the acquisition of power and the continuation of their treasonous control over America.

The shadow history of the United States of America and also of the world is a history of murders and massacres that are done by cynical and arrogant men in the seats of authority who have an overbearing thirst for power and wealth. They invent enemies and threats in order to manufacture large-scale wars to gain even more power and wealth than they had before, while thinking nothing of mass human suffering and bloodshed, even the blood of the people they were elected to represent. The welfare of the people is not their concern.
If the people become educated and informed about the real reasons for why there is war in the first place then the entire enterprise of war will be finished, and no longer will profit-driven and power-enhancing wars stain the pages of history. There will never be a peaceful age when there is public confusion and public ignorance instead of public enlightenment. Wars can only be fought by America as long as ludicrous stories and beliefs are continually invented to keep the business of war going and to keep the people in a perpetual state of historical amnesia.
American historian David McCullough speaks about the dangers to human liberty when the people of a nation are trapped in a state of ignorance and historical amnesia in this interview with Bruce Cole, the chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities. McCullough says that “it’s in our human nature to want to know about the past,” and know it intimately, and deeply. People who don’t know history are spiritually and mentally deprived. They are less human for not knowing the true history of human events. McCullough connects the importance of history to the progress of liberty, and says that the preservation of freedom is not possible without an educated and informed public. He quotes John Adams, who said that “Wisdom and knowledge, as well as virtue, diffused generally among the body of the people, being necessary for the preservation of their rights and liberties.”

are you denying the problem? there is a new world order now, and they are feeding us lies.

Kinda pathetic, man. Is this how a person that is open to discussion reacts, or is this the behavior of someone clinging to a fabled "consensus narrative"? You can examine the evidence or the lack thereof without hating America, I promise.
