It has been 10 years since those horrific attacks on September 11, 2001. What have we learned as a nation and a people? Has it changed our culture or our country? If so, how? There seems to be many unanswered questions, such as how did building 7 collapse when it wasn’t hit by a plane, or where were the pieces of plane that hit the pentagon or landed in the field in Pennsylvania? Why all the secrecy in video tapes and witnesses? Where are the answers after thousands died and millions suffered? Don’t we owe the truth to all the victims.
So what have we learned? I say we have learned to be afraid of those who are different. We have learned to be more close minded and suspicious, we have learned to trust those that have always been deemed untrustworthy in the name of “national security.” Has it changed us? Yes it has, we are quick to jump the gun and make threats, we have learned to be suspicious of Muslims and those who not only look different, but hold differing values, beliefs and ideologies. We have left some of the most important decisions in our society to be dealt with by a crooked minority. We fear those who are not like us, (as if we have it all right). It has been 10 years and we have engaged in 3 wars that has cost this country boat loads of money and countless lives both foreign and domestic.
It has been proven time and time again that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, yet nothing has been done, no apologies have been issued and justice has yet to be served. Today the world is not a safer place, the only success we have had, is in creating more terrorists and more people to hate us. Today our economy sags in a depression they keep calling a recession, Wallstreet has bamboozled the American people out of Trillions of dollars and politicians play games to keep the truth hidden and keep the game playing. Good paying jobs barely exist, civil liberties are practically non-existent and if you dare go against the grain you are an immediate target or threat.
Instead of reaching across the table and working together for solutions for mutual gain, we come to the table with a “take it or leave it” approach without ever considering those involved. 10 years in Afghanistan and that country is in worse shape today than it was when we entered in 2001. Now we are in Libya, for what reason? They tell us “democracy.” 10 years later and the world is a radically different place, Rome is crumbling apart, and all that you can do is sit in front of the television and listen to their lies. I reject those lies and refuse to listen to them. They want you to listen to the radio or television, they want you to remember that fear so you remember who “protects” you. As long as you keep that fear they will always have the power.
Who are "they" you may ask They are the movers and the shakers, they are the political clout behind bringing down those who oppose them. They are the ones responsible for the status quo, for hiding technology that can free us from servitude, they are the bloodlines that have controlled Western civilization for thousands of years, they are the ones that pick our President every 4 years as well as our politicians and media stars. They are the ones who allow certain celebrities to become and remain celebrities. They are the ones that have crafted the Great Ponzi Scheme of the 21st Century. The evidence is so damn obvious it’s sickening.
Is your stomach churning yet? Are your eyes wide open? Are you tired of your mundane life in a world that you feel completely out of touch with? Are you numb to life or are you alive with feeling and passion and love? Do you yearn for truth, justice, passion and love? Of course!! You are Human and it is only in your nature to want to feel alive. You have to unplug yourself, center yourself through meditation and open your eyes to what is going on. It is time you decide what your role is to change it. Change is on the horizon, are you going to get with the program and help facilitate the change for the better, or are you going to keep feeding the machine that is crumbling? Do not fear change- a new paradigm shift is on the horizon, lets make this one count.
Love & Peace,
Christina
