HEARTS AND MINDS
SISTER SHIRIKI
As i reflect back on 9-11 hearing people say they didn't believe it was real, because it look like it was a "movie" and "why do they hate us so much"? Meditating on these statements, the word "Facade" came to mind. Facade: A front, a false, superficial or artifical appearance or effect (Webster's 7th New Collegiate Dictionary, 1971). The only reason these statements would fall from anyone lips reflects the success of a "Facade". The populace of the US is some of the most ignorant people onthe planet earth, because of a " Facade". This kountry was built on death, destruction and genocide of the Natives that inhabited Turtle Island before the invaders. However, it is drilled in all our psyche that Chris and the boys discovered this land and the Pilgrims came over on the Mayflower which landed at Plymouth Rock and civilized those savages?
The US government have trained people like Saddam Hussen of Iraq, Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban in Afghanistan, Contras of Nicaragua and ManuelNoreaga of Panama to be terrorist and kill civilians. When US trained terrorist refuse to continue to be puppets for the US, they become the boogieman and must be destroyed. The Schools Of Amerikas in Fort Benning,GA is used to train terrorist with our tax dollars. Demonstrators in L.A. were warned by the FBI of restriction during their protest and one of them being, they could not burn the flag and if they did, they would be charged and tried under the anti-terrorist act. When the flag is no longer usable, the practice of laying it to rest is to burn it? Where is your freedom of speech and expression?
Since the 9-11 attack people have been buying flags, wearing red, white and blue everything, pretending we are united and yelling God Bless Amerika? This "Facade" will not bring justice to victims of terrorism be it at the hands of the US or US trained terrorist. When mainstream news media wasask the question, why do they hate us so much, the "Facade" continues. George Dubya says they hate us because they hate our freedom of religion, speech and democratic society? The US is a false, superficial and artifical appearance of a free and democratic society. This is not why kountrieshate the US, the US have murdered thousands of Iraqi children since the bombing began in 1991 and continue today. The US and its allies have raped and divided up Afrika amongst each colonizer for decades. The US have bombed Japan, Libya, Yugoslavia and Sudan which puts the US in a position ofhaving endless enemies.
The US invade kountries, destablize their economy and implement its own banking system, corporations set-up shop, pollute the land, exploiting the citizens of that kountry and the people suppose to love being abused? When citizens protest the US trained terrorist steps in and do what they were trained to do, terrorize and kill the civilans. If you listen to what was reported on 9-11, i believe the US government knew this was going to happen and did nothing. i'm basing my conclusion on what the mainstream newsmedia reported. When the CIA/FBI were asked did they know anything about this attack prior, they replied NO? From their actions, this is a flat out lie! If the government had no prior knowledge, how did the government find the names, location, identification and history of some twenty four people that were suppose to have carried out the attack?
How did the government locate one of the alleged participants in Germany with no prior knowledge? By no means is this high-tech intelligence gathering by any stretch of the imagination considering the amount of our tax dollars given to the Pentagon. Many news commentators continued toraise this same question, considering the amount of funding given to the Pentagon and other federal agencies that are responsible for intelligence gathering and none of these agencies had no prior knowledge? This question bombarded government officials at every turn until the CIA retracked its first lieand said they did know and they told the FBI around the end of August? Thiswas explained away by saying the government must do a better job at communicating among the different federal agencies. If the CIA warned the FBI, why did they not act on this information? i was also informed that Knob Nobster, Missouri where a military base is located was under "RedAlert" on 9-10, why? i believe the counterintelligence campaign this go roundwill be more vicious than COINTELPRO ever was or ever will be. If you want "Peace" on the planet, work for "Justice".
In Struggle,
