Is Our Government Really Looking Out For Us?

I don’t typically discuss anything of this level of importance on my blog, but this is something I need to mention. I’ve been hearing a lot about the 9/11 conspiracy theory as of late. Some new documentaries have been coming out, and both YouTube and Google Video seem to be carrying an increasing number of these.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, let me give you the gist: All reasonable experts agree that the official theory on why the towers fell (fire from planes) is a very bad one, especially when you take into account building 7, which wasn’t even struck by a plane. No, folks, this was a controlled demolition that you witnessed on September 11, 2001. What this actually means is anybody’s guess, but the fact that our government has handled the situation how they have – withholding facts & other evidence and absolutely ignoring other, far more reasonable theories – suggests that they do, indeed, have something to hide.

If you’re new to all this, I highly recommend the following videos:

Barrie Zwicker Speaks @ Winnipeg 9/11 Truth Event – This writer does a great job of explaining how important it is that we stand up and get the facts. Not just 9/11, but how it has been the basis for so much legislation. The “fear campaign” is bs. It’s short; I recommend watching it first.
9/11 Mysteries – This relatively new and very good documentary explains the events of September 11th very well. If nothing else, watch this one!
Loose Change – Another leading documentary on the attacks.
Independent Media In A Time Of War – A talk by Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!.
Improbable Collapse: The Demolition of our Republic – One final recommended viewing. I love the part at the end where CNN’s Tucker Carlson more or less refuses to air a clip of Tower 7 collapsing as writer David Ray Griffin’s asks him to.

I’ve watched a fair number of these videos, and these are my favorites. For more information, I recommend the 9/11 Conspiracy Wikipedia entry and 911Truth.org.

Update: I need to add some more videos to the list. First, an 11 minute interview with author David Ray Griffin. This one is scary. At only 3:34, they speak of the Wolfowitz Doctrine and how its radical ideas could only rally support after a “massive catastrophic and catalyzing event.” (Sure enough…) And finally, a full-length documentary discussing the absolute failure of our mass media to ask the tough questions or otherwise reflect the opinions of huge proportions of our population that still have beliefs contrary to what we’re told.
