zeitgeist movie is the story of the century

Okay, three years ago in the runup to the Iraq war, I spent alot of my time ingesting and disseminating news. I was glued to Cspan, frontline, and alternative websites. On one such website I found a testimony of a young leutenant who talked about something herefore unheard of called the Office of Special Plans. She said it was run under the Vice President's control and that basically they were doing what Seymour Hersh later described as "stovepiping." They were cherrypicking old evidence from the First Gulf War that had since been disproven, and superceding the role of the CIA, essentially building a purposefully false smear case against Iraq. They lied. I knew. I didn't have anyone important to tell, and my friends seemed to be disconnected from my on sense of passion and relevance. They nodded and turned back to Sex and the City. Now, everyone knows. Its been years.

However, in this case, we may not be so lucky. I have essentially been convinced through the above titled movie and my own research that 911 was a huge sham. A sham. A lie. And a damn sloppy one at that. The wholes in their story are so gaping that looking at it now with science and records and testimony in our favor, I am ashamed I ever believed otherwise. However, getting all the way down this road was not a quick and easy journey. So, convincing the public at large that this government is like the Roman emperor Nero burning his own city...is almost impossible. Almost. I have the facts in my favor. And we do have the internet. And PBS and NPR. And the Universities. The Romans didn't have that.

After writing that, I still forget to believe it myself. I don't want to. And I have to go back in my brain and remember the facts so that I can remember the truth. The zeitgeist is wrong. The world is upside down. And we are pawns in their game.
