"The reality is that the American people, as individuals, have lost their courage. The government prefers it that way as a fearful people are easier to rule than a courageous one. But Americans don't wish to lose their self-image of courage. So, when confronted with a situation demanding courage, in the form of a government gone wrong, the American people simply pretend that the situation does not exist. When the World Trade Center Towers collapsed most Americans simply refused to believe suggestions that the attacks had been staged by parties working for the US Government itself. Americans were afraid to, even as news reports surfaced proving that the US Government had announced plans for the invasion of Afghanistan early in the year, plans into which the attacks on the WTC Towers, which angered the American people into support of the already-planned war, fit entirely too conveniently. But so trapped are Americans by their belief in their own bravery that they will themselves to be blind to the evidence before their eyes, so that they can nod in agreement with the government while still imagining themselves to have courage, even as they avoid the one situation which most requires real courage: to stand up to the government's lies and deceptions. The vast majority of the American people, their own self-image dependent on continuing blindness to the government's deceptions, never question why Afghanistan would have done something so stupid as to attack the United States, and as a result, Americans find themselves in a war. Now the US Government has requested temporary extraordinary powers, powers specifically banned under the Constitution, but powers the government is claiming they need to deal with the "terrorists". The American people, having already sold their souls to their self-delusions, are agreeing. The "temporary" powers recently conferred will be no more temporary in America than they were in Germany. The US Government knows it rules a nation of cowards. The government has had to spend the money to make the new war something cowards can fight. The government has decorated the troops with regalia to make them proud of themselves, further trapping them in their self-image. Talismans are added from orthodox religions and the occult to fill the soldiers with delusions of mystical strengths and an afterlife if they fall in battle. Finally, knowing that it takes courage to kill the enemy face to face, the government has spent vast sums of money on wonder weapons, airplanes, submarines, ultra-long range artillery, cruise missiles and guided missiles, weapons that kill at a distance, so that those doing the killing need not have to face the reality of what they are doing." - Senhor San

"Freedom is the sure possession of only those who have the courage to defend it."

Those who would rule us know their main tools to accomplish their governance are fear and deceit; fear because it can be both personal and collective. For example as an individual I can be afraid or petrified but as a group, community and nation we all can be panicky. Would be leaders have used fear as tool to control the minds and emotions of humans since time immemorial. During AmeriKKKan slavery, the owners and overseers used the fear of beatings, torture and the threat of being sold away from family and friends to minimize rebellion, work stoppages and retaliation. The other effective tool used to control humans is deceit, lying, telling half truths or distortions. For Africans in AmeriKKKa both tools have been employed with great success. Psychological warfare and brutality have kept us afraid and anxious, we never knew what mood the master was in, we were hostages to their every whim. To keep us down they lied about themselves falsifying how civilized, beautiful and wonderful they were/are. They lied about us, they said Africans had no history, we were backward savages begging to be rescued from our benightedness by Caucasians (Arabs and Europeans). They knew it would work because they employed these same tactics and techniques on their own people for thousands of years. Check European history: the inquisition, the reactionary response to new ideas i.e the murder of Socrates, the repression of Galileo and burning of Joan of Arc etc.

The deceit and fear are being used on a daily basis to manipulate us. Every day we see a new color coded alert, today orange, tomorrow red, we are being told terrorist are planning to disrupt the fall elections etc. We were told 9-11 was a sneak attack by Arab fanatics and the media kept repeating the mantra "AmeriKKKa under attack" "AmeriKKKa at War" etc when neither condition was real. True 9-11 happened, but not like they said. Thinking people know 9-11 could not have possibly happened without the complicity of high ranking intelligence, military, civilian and government officials! Now they are covering their lies with the official whitewash called the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on The United States better known as the 9-11 Commission. We know this is a sham, a cunning ploy to further the New World Order agenda for domestic fascism and global hegemony. We don't have to go out like this. We don't have to go for the okey doke. If we allow them to get away with this we will be at war from now until. The killings of innocents will be on our heads on our individual and collective KARMA because we did nothing. Martin Luther King Jr, college kids, truth and peace seekers, forced the AmeriKKKan government to negotiate an end to the Viet Nam War. When will we take to the street to demand AmeriKKKan politicians rescind the PATRIOT ACT and bring the troops home? When will we be committed enough to hold them personally accountable if they don't? When will say no more killing, no more bombs, no more lies!!? If we don't stand up for our convictions, our children and our planet will experience generations of incessant war and suffering. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stated in 1968, "there comes a time when silence is betrayal." Can we look ourselves in the mirror knowing we have betrayed the human race by allowing the fascists and war mongers to punk us out?
