Folks,
The following article is so prescient it defies all logic to refute it.
Southerners and Confederates should be poking holes in every facet of the government’s ‘explanation’ of 9-11 but, we wrap the flag of an occupying empire ever tighter around ourselves until we have strangled any logical thought or will to speak out. We, as a people, have been slandered, libeled, repudiated, demonized, marginalized, ignored and attacked at every level by the government of the US, as well as uninformed Yankees, for the past hundred forty four years yet, you eagerly accept the massive lie about 9-11 extended by the same government that is stripping you of your freedom, daily!
Is there no men of conscience left in the South? Or the CSA in all parts of this nation?
This occupying government has been following a policy of complete domination of every human endeavor for the past hundred forty four years yet, many of you believe you can petition tyrants or vote change. How has that worked for you? I’ll tell you. You have lost your butts at every turn!
You had better get your heads out of the sand,(or your butts), you’re not an ostrich, and dig the dirt out of your ears so you can hear the truth. The Oligarchs are embarking on one of their infamous population reduction programs that they have been drooling over for the past sixty years and you are squarely in their crosshairs.
There is an old maxim, “Never pick a fight with an old man. He knows he can’t win so, he’ll just kill you.” Well, I’m an old man and if you wish me or mine harm, I’ll just kill you and have a sound night’s sleep afterward. I hope those receiving this missive will reevaluate their position, rip that cloying flag from your bodies and minds and set to work preparing for what is to come. I pray there won’t be war but I fear that is going to be our lot.
Deo Vindice,

"Let men be on their guard against those who flatter and mislead the multitude; their actions prove what sort of men they are. Of the tyrant, spies and informers are the principal instruments. War is his favorite occupation, for the sake of engrossing the attention of the people, and making himself necessary to them as their leader." – Aristotle

We don’t need more allies, we need no allies. Allies and foreign intrigues are what has brought us all the miseries we are suffering, today.

Why Propaganda Trumps Truth
By Paul Craig Roberts
September 15, 2009An article in the journal, Sociological Inquiry, casts light on the effectiveness of propaganda. Researchers examined why big lies succeed where little lies fail. Governments can get away with mass deceptions, but politicians cannot get away with sexual affairs.
The researchers explain why so many Americans still believe that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11, years after it has become obvious that Iraq had nothing to do with the event. Americans developed elaborate rationalizations based on Bush administration propaganda that alleged Iraqi involvement and became deeply attached to their beliefs. Their emotional involvement became wrapped up in their personal identity and sense of morality. They looked for information that supported their beliefs and avoided information that challenged them, regardless of the facts of the matter.
In Mein Kampf, Hitler explained the believability of the Big Lie as compared to the small lie: “In the simplicity of their minds, people more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have such impudence. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and continue to think that there may be some other explanation.”
What the sociologists and Hitler are telling us is that by the time facts become clear, people are emotionally wedded to the beliefs planted by the propaganda and find it a wrenching experience to free themselves. It is more comfortable, instead, to denounce the truth-tellers than the liars whom the truth-tellers expose.
The psychology of belief retention even when those beliefs are wrong is a pillar of social cohesion and stability. It explains why, once change is effected, even revolutionary governments become conservative. The downside of belief retention is its prevention of the recognition of facts. Belief retention in the Soviet Union made the system unable to adjust to economic reality, and the Soviet Union collapsed. Today in the United States millions find it easier to chant “USA, USA, USA” than to accept facts that indicate the need for change.
The staying power of the Big Lie is the barrier through which the 9/11 Truth Movement is finding it difficult to break. The assertion that the 9/11 Truth Movement consists of conspiracy theorists and crackpots is obviously untrue. The leaders of the movement are highly qualified professionals, such as demolition experts, physicists, structural architects, engineers, pilots, and former high officials in the government. Unlike their critics parroting the government’s line, they know what they are talking about.
Here is a link to a presentation by the architect, Richard Gage, to a Canadian university audience: http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=13242 The video of the presentation is two hours long and seems to have been edited to shorten it down to two hours. Gage is low-key, but not a dazzling personality or a very articulate presenter. Perhaps that is because he is speaking to a university audience and takes for granted their familiarity with terms and concepts.
Those who believe the official 9/11 story and dismiss skeptics as kooks can test the validity of the sociologists’ findings and Hitler’s observation by watching the video and experiencing their reaction to evidence that challenges their beliefs. Are you able to watch the presentation without scoffing at someone who knows far more about it than you do? What is your response when you find that you cannot defend your beliefs against the evidence presented? Scoff some more? Become enraged?
Another problem that the 9/11 Truth Movement faces is that few people have the education to follow the technical and scientific aspects. The side that they believe tells them one thing; the side that they don’t believe tells them another. Most Americans have no basis to judge the relative merits of the arguments.
For example, consider the case of the Lockerbie bomber. One piece of “evidence” that was used to convict Magrahi was a piece of circuit board from a device that allegedly contained the Semtex that exploded the airliner. None of the people, who have very firm beliefs in Magrahi’s and Libya’s guilt and in the offense of the Scottish authorities in releasing Magrahi on allegedly humanitarian grounds, know that circuit boards of those days have very low combustion temperatures and go up in flames easily. Semtex produces very high temperatures. There would be nothing whatsoever left of a device that contained Semtex. It is obvious to an expert that the piece of circuit board was planted after the event.
I have asked on several occasions and have never had an answer, which does not mean that there isn’t one, how millions of pieces of un-burnt, un-charred paper can be floating over lower Manhattan from the destruction of the WTC towers when the official explanation of the destruction is fires so hot and evenly distributed that they caused the massive steel structures to weaken and fail simultaneously so that the buildings fell in free fall time just as they would if they had been brought down by controlled demolition.
What is the explanation of fires so hot that steel fails but paper does not combust?
People don’t even notice the contradictions. Recently, an international team of scientists, who studied for 18 months dust samples produced by the twin towers’ destruction collected from three separate sources, reported their finding of nano-thermite in the dust. The US government had scientists dependent on the US government to debunk the finding on the grounds that the authenticity of custody of the samples could not be verified. In other words, someone had tampered with the samples and added the nano-thermite. This is all it took to discredit the finding, despite the obvious fact that access to thermite is strictly controlled and NO ONE except the US military and possibly Israel has access to nano-thermite.
Despite what some will tell you and even THEY will tell you and we all know who THEY are, the CSA/CNP is the only hope this nation has to survive and thrive. Just this past week, and albeit it was a Senator from one of the Carolina's that spoke it calling Obama a liar, shit I have been telling you Obama is a liar for nearly two years now. I found that out when I was recruited to being a campaign helper during the nomination season. I found out ALL OBAMA volunteers were liars and really spooks. But I will not honor those now by saying any more about that. What I will tell you is this; If you are truly an American and want to keep this entire nation from going in the toilet, and its headed there mighty fast, join your local chapter of the CSA/CNP, and get involved. Here in Idaho you can become a member of the CSA/CNP by becoming an associate member of the Knytes-of-Anarchy, the Idaho CSA/CNP will be meeting the 2nd Wednesday at the Lincoln Inn in Gooding Idaho at 4:00PM and in Boise at Merritts Cafe on State Street the 2nd Saturday of each month also at 4:00PM.
Philippians 2:3-4“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
