It is becoming more apparent that people don't want to know the truth. Isn't that a pathetic indictment of the level of maturity of our species?

Tyranny by a small minority of whiners has always been a problem, especially when the moderator/editor/government is weak and ignorant. In that case, one person's loud and pathetic complaint against the truth outweighs its silent support by many. And the control system knows where to place its hired booers and clappers.  So I wouldn't say this is a reflection of our species so much as a reflection of the sectors of our species actively subservient to the control system. All the more reason for realm mitosis, the splitting of ways between those who choose coma and those who choose awareness. In the above example you posted it is disheartening how strongly people can defend their ignorance, but that's just one side of this polarization phenomenon. The other side is truthseekers finding hope in each other.

The official version of the war on terror is OK,
but have another view and you are banned

The International Association of Emergency Managers
bars alternative explanations of 9/11

The International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) is a non-profit educational organization with the aim of saving lives and protecting property during emergencies and disasters. One of its members, Justin Walker, has been banned from its Internet discussion group for pointing out the flaws in the official story of 9/11. One guy said he wasn’t interested in who was responsible for 9/11, only in responding to disasters. He appears unable to grasp that if people understood who was really behind attacks like September 11th and removed them from power there would be far fewer terrorist disasters to respond to.

The simple sequence of events that led to the barring of Mr. Walker is another example of the general censorship that prevents free discussion of these matters unless the official version is being supported.

Firstly, the following was posted to the IAEM Discussion Group site that parroted the official line:

IAEM Discussion Group:
Etgar Lefkovits, THE JERUSALEM POST  Nov. 29, 2004

-------------------------------------------------------

An al-Qaida attack on the US with non-conventional
weapons is virtually "inevitable," and the organization
is likely "tying up the knots" for such an attack,
Yossef Bodansky, former director of the US
Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and
Unconventional Warfare, told The Jerusalem Post on
Sunday.

"All of the warnings we have today indicate that a
major strike - something more horrible than anything
we've seen before - is all but inevitable," he said.

Bodansky, here for the second annual Jerusalem Summit,
an international gathering of conservative thinkers,
added that "the primary option" for the next al-Qaida
attack on US soil would be one that would use weapons
of mass destruction.

"I do not have a crystal ball, but this is what all the
available evidence tells us, we will have a bang,"
Bodansky said.

He said that al-Qaida has not carried out a second
major attack on the US until now for internal
psychological and ideological reasons, but after the
reelection of President George W. Bush, it has gotten
"the green light" to do so from leading Islamic
religious luminaries, as well as from "the elites of
the Arab world."

According to Bodansky's reading of Osama bin Laden's
mind-set, after the elaborate attacks of 9/11 there was
no need for the "bin Ladens of the world" to carry out
a second major attack in the US, both because the
target audience of the attacks - the Arab and Islamic
world - had gotten the message that America could be
penetrated, and because a second attack would
necessarily have to be more grandiose.

Following the attacks and the US-led war on terror, a
debate started within the operational arm of the
organization over the potential use of weapons of mass
destruction, Bodansky said.

If, in pre-9/11 days, the theme used by bin Laden was
that perpetual confrontation and jihad against the US
was the only way to protect Islam, the argument now
used is the ability to punish American society,
Bodansky said.

"Just as the West was challenging the quintessence of
Islam by means of the globalization era, there was a
parallel need by Islamic extremists to strike at - and
hurt - the core of American society, this time with
weapons of mass destruction," Bodansky said.

A subsequent theological debate emerged within the
organization, and its supporters in the Arab world, he
said, over whether the mass killing of innocents is
permissible.

While bin Laden and his associates argued that by
virtue of their participation in US democracy, US
citizens were enabling their rulers to fight, other
Islamic luminaries contended that this does not permit
such massive attacks, Bodansky said. The reelection of
Bush in November, he said, was viewed by bin Laden and
his cohorts as a decisive answer to this deliberation,
with Americans now "choosing" to be the enemies of
Islam. In bin Laden's mind-set, he said, the stage was
set for a non-conventional attack.

Bodansky said that while there may still be some
vestiges of debate and doubt within Islamic circles, he
believes that planing for such an attack is finished.
"They got the kosher stamp from the Islamic world to
use nuclear weapons," he said.

Moreover, Bodansky said that America is losing the war
against terrorism, noting the number of recruits bin
Laden is able to count on, as his call to arms gains
widespread support throughout the Muslim world.

In the pre-9/11 world, Bodansky said, jihadists could
count on 250,000 individuals trained and willing to
die, and 2.5 million-5 million people willing to help
them in one way or another. He cited intelligence
estimates from this summer that suggest that as many as
500,000-750,000 people are willing and trained to die,
10 million are willing to actively support them, short
of killing, while another 50 million are willing to
support such a movement financially.

No problem with posting the official version of the War
on Terror, then. Justin Walker responded thus:

Dear Friends,

I am afraid this ridiculous press release about Yossef
Bodansky's so-called warning is just feeding America's
increasing paranoia of terrorism - there are now
hundreds of valid inconsistencies to the official story
of 9/11.  I am afraid the blunt truth is that Americans
killed Americans on the 11th September 2001.  Osama bin
Laden and Al Qaida are creations of the so-called 'neo-
cons'/CIA intelligence community and you have to look
there for the perpetrators of 9/11.  If you still have
an open mind, go to:  911inplanesite.com

If a dirty bomb or worse goes off, the White House will
know about it well in advance.

This view was met with considerable anger from many
other emergency managers and Mr. Walker replied:

Steve,

I realise that what I posted the other day has angered
a lot of my fellow emergency managers but what I am
talking about is vital to all of us.  Nearly all of the
people who use this List are in the front line against
terrorism and are involved in implementing Homeland
Security and the Patriot Act which, by their very
nature, have taken away a considerable number of civil
liberties from the American people.  Civil liberties in
Britain are also now being threatened because of this
perceived threat of international terrorism.

However, there is a whole raft of known information and
facts which clearly show that we need to worry about
highly placed elements within our own societies rather
than crazed Islamic fundamentalists from overseas.

If I'm wrong, how come Stanley Hilton (former Chief of
Staff to Bob Dole) is representing over 400 9/11
victims' families in an eight billion dollar courtcase
which states quite clearly that the White House not
only knew about the 9/11 attacks but implemented
them.  William Rodriguez, a hero who saved single-
handedly fifteen people on the day at the World Trade
Centre, is doing the same. And what about David Ray
Griffin, a highly respected American theologian who
believes that the visual evidence proves that no
aircraft the size of a Boeing 757 hit the
Pentagon.  Incidentally, his recent book 'The New Pearl
Harbor' has its UK foreword written by Michal Meacher
MP, a former British Cabinet Minister.

I've known about there being an orchestrated
international elite above our democratically elected
representatives for a long time now. Because of their
enormous power and wealth they have been manipulating
their own global agendas for decades, if not
centuries.  My late Uncle was The Lord Pilkington, head
of Pilkington Glass, Director of the Bank of England
and a member of a bloodline family that goes back over
a thousand years.  He warned me about what he termed
the 'Illuminati'and how they can invisibly shape world
events; and in fact an associate of his, the late
Aurelio Peccei, President of Fiat, invited me to join
one of their front organisations, The Club of Rome. If
you still doubt what I am saying is true, find out
about the Bilderberg Group.

I'm afraid the evidence is coming out fast and furious,
thanks to the internet (the mainstream media being
largely controlled at an editorial level by these
highly placed individuals), that the enemy is within
our own gates - and that, I'm afraid, is extremely
relevant to what we do.

With best wishes

Justin Walker

But such views are not allowed by this "educational"
organisation and Mr. Walker was barred from the group.
For "off topic" read "off message".

Justin:

You must stop posting to this list.  I have received
numerous complaints over the past several days from
active IAEM members regarding your posts.  Given the
complaints and the fact that you posted an off-topic
message on the same day that the monthly reminder about
list rules was posted, you have been removed from the
list. 

I am sure that you will be able to find a more
appropriate list for your posts.
