The first person Ventura interviews is Donna Marsh O'Connor, a neighbor of my niece who lives in a suburb of Syracuse, NY. Donna's daughter died in the 9/11 disaster, and she has never believed the "official" story as put forth by the 9/11 "investigative" Commission--with good reason, as you'll see when Ventura presents government-withheld information to us. As Ventura shows through his own investigation, including eye witnesses, architects, and scientists who dispute the official story, the government is trying to keep hidden from the public MUCH credible information that would point to their involvement. I have been suspicious of the government's stories almost from Day 1, wondering why our military planes did not take off on that fateful day, until it was too late to stop most of the attack planes from their apparent missions. And how was Building #7 taken down in late afternoon of 9/11 -- and why? Who had wired it with explosives?, which takes days and weeks to position when buildings are going to be taken down with demolitions (which Building #7 certainly was).
When all the Ground Zero debris was taken away and sent immediately to China and used in building ships, etc. my curiosity took another leap skyward -- why wasn't the debris (or at least some of it) being preserved for later investigation? A crime scene of this magnitude certainly deserved that! But no...our government didn't seem to deem it important enough to keep the debris. And they didn't want some of the witness testimony to make its way to the public, so anyone whose eyewitness account in any way disputed the government's story was interviewed and secluded behind closed doors -- and somehow their testimony never made it into the official report by the 9/11 Commission. Sound familiar? It should. It's exactly what happened in the "official" reports on the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations.
It is incumbent on us, as citizens of our nation, to question things that don't ring true, no matter who in authority is telling us to "believe what we are telling you." That old Groucho Marx remark applies in every instance: "Who do you believe? Me or your lying eyes?" When credentialed scientists and architects and credible eye witnesses tell us, in emphatic terms, that what we have been told by the government is NOT true, that is our cue to open our minds and read/watch anything they present--and make up our own minds, based on how they present themselves and their testimony -- and our own intuition as to their truthfulness. It behooves us to investigate further if we have doubts in comparing their information against what we have been told by the government.
"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today." --Teddy Roosevelt Keep an open mind. Anyone who has been so conditioned to believe they have all the answers, all the truth, automatically shuts out an untold number of insights, opportunities and revelations that would normally flow into their thinking. As Gandhi said, "It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom."--Louis LaGrand, author "Love Lives On"
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.
~~ Alexis de Tocqueville
