We've been told that 9/11 changed everything.

Is it true?

Let's look at the facts:

• The Afghanistan war was planned before 9/11 (see this and this)

• The decision to launch the Iraq war was made before 9/11. Indeed, former CIA director George Tenet said that the White House wanted to invade Iraq long before 9/11, and inserted "crap" in its justifications for invading Iraq. Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill - who sat on the National Security Council - also says that Bush planned the Iraq war before 9/11. Top British officials say that the U.S. discussed Iraq regime change even before Bush took office. And in 2000, Cheney said a Bush administration might "have to take military action to forcibly remove Saddam from power.''

• Cheney apparently even made Iraqi's oil fields a national security priority before 9/11. And the Sunday Herald reported: "Five months before September 11, the US advocated using force against Iraq ... to secure control of its oil." (remember that Alan Greenspan, John McCain, George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, a high-level National Security Council officer and others all say that the Iraq war was really about oil.)

• The Patriot Act was planned before 9/11. Indeed, former Counter Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke told Stanford law professor Lawrence Lessig:
• After 9/11 the government drew up the Patriot Act within 20 days and it was passed.
• The Patriot Act is huge and I remember someone asking a Justice Department official how did they write such a large statute so quickly, and of course the answer was that it has been sitting in the drawers of the Justice Department for the last 20 years waiting for the event where they would pull it out.
• (4:30 into this video).

• Cheney dreamed of giving the White House the powers of a monarch long before 9/11

• Cheney and Rumsfeld actively generated fake intelligence which exaggerated the threat from an enemy in order to justify huge amounts of military spending long before 9/11. And see this

• The government's spying on Americans began before 9/11 (confirmed here and here. And see this)

• The decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11

• It was known long before 9/11 that torture doesn't work to produce accurate intelligence ... but is an effective way to terrorize people

• And - sadly - America played dirty games to justify and win wars before 9/11

9/11 didn't change anything. It was simply an excuse to implement existing plans.

This is an excellent article, because it shows the planned nature of all the major historic events.  I was just watching a special about JFK this weekend, and it is so very, very obvious how well planned out that event was.  Within just a few hours of the assassination itself, all the disinfo mechanisms were deploying and you can see that.  911 was no different, but I do think building 7 was a gaf in timing for some reason they didn't plan.  

 

This is how the western world has been operated for the past half century and the citizens are being led around like dogs on leashes.  Maybe it is just me, maybe not, but I am positive that the public has been greatly "dumbed down" also, and that is very obvious to me.  

 

Does this sound like another period in human history?  Reminds me of medieval Europe, I don't think it is a lick better than that.  But this time it maddens me because of all all the inventions and material wealth.  If these were being controlled and planned by large cross sections of the citizenry instead of a few inbreed oligarchs, think of what a wonderful wealthy civilized world this could be.
