The great ocean of
waters figuratively and with consistency represented by the global narrative
reported in the American and western media since the watershed date of 9/11/01
displays a surface appearance fundamentally unchanged from that of the
post-World War II era and long before: There are the western democracies with
their patriotic combined citizen militaries defending and promoting alleged
rationalism, democratic decision-making, and rule of law, belligerently aligned
now against terrorist totalitarian and irrational, hateful and destructive
potentates and hordes, just as they were formerly aligned against irrational and
totalitarian world communism and before that wrongheaded vicious totalitarian
fascism.
People who don’t delve
beneath the surface headlines or seek multiple or additional sources via the
Internet or critically assess the basically unchanging narrative and
explanations as they are so fervently spread necessarily view the world in the
same way their frontier ancestors arrayed against an “irrational” and
irredeemable “savage” Indian enemy, ostensibly bent on destroying them and
“civilization” all but unanimously did three hundred years ago. Just fill in the blanks with the name of
the current irrational and savage foe-designate and support as a necessary defensive act his annihilation or
pacification and appropriation of his resources. Then set up those you fail to
kill physically in a puppet state, region, or reservation under your control to
enjoy the choice of leaders you choose to permit and approved values you control
and choose to promulgate.
And if some
impertinent outsider – say, a Putin – comes along disputin’ your pacification or
eradication process with target nations in mid-procedure – which is (as distinct
from the subservient media’s bland reporting of it) literally like making sausage, then pox
and blood-curdling threats on him! Because, and I quote: “If you’re not with us,
you’re with the terrorists”.
So, basically, those
of our fellow citizens who don’t or won’t delve beneath or beyond the visible,
changeless, endlessly-presented surface or assess matters critically for
themselves subscribe to that still-predominant view themselves. And, naturally
enough, they tend to consider those of us who dispute with however powerful
evidence that 9/11 and a bevy of other atrocities mainly (but not all) committed
since 9/11 were put-ups committed or commissioned by the U.S. and its western
allied governments or secretly-supported terror groups to provide a pretext and
justification for continual marauding and pacification operations, off our
rockers. Is that any wonder, from people who consume mainline (or who mainline)
news exclusively and take it raw?
In the roiling subsurface
extending to depth reported by a number of more-or-less reliable alternative
primary investigators, on whom we alternative synthesizers rely, on the other
hand, the relatively changeless basic image of the good settler and his upright
community versus the dirty, rotten savage ever menacing force is revised through
our facilitated seeing far more clearly and from various angles. Our more
penetrating independent view reveals who, from facts and leaks, is the
system-driven aggressor in case after case and which contender appears to be
most consistently misrepresenting facts and at times fabricating the whole
story. We can see it, and we report as we do not to be perverse, but because we
look beneath the surface, or behind the curtain. If others see otherwise, so be
it!
And the purpose and goal of
some of us is never to maintain a particular line or narrative, but to urge the
creation of a world truly observing in practice the very precepts that were
expounded if not practiced by the most eloquent of our forefather ancestors:
that “all [persons] are created equal”, “a government of, by, and for the
people”, and to achieve in reality the practice of “a decent respect for the
opinions of mankind” wherever they are held. To which we can properly add the
blessings of “liberty and justice for all,” anti-theft and murder, and a
robustly-restored, unabridged respect for full and open truth.
Amen.
And so, I submit that
this is how the particular point of view represented and urged on you by this
web site can be explained, to the best of my ability.
