(Gold9472: I find it interesting that when people intially start researching 9/11, it's almost ALWAYS followed by, "They allowed it to happen"...)

by Susan Fassanella
7/5/2006

The Honorable Ron Paul’s piece on why Americans are angry really stirred me to respond. Mr. Paul’s piece speaks about many issues facing Americans today.

I am a 51-year-old woman. I have been married to the same man since 1976. I am the secretary/office manager for a small legal firm in the D.C. suburbs. My husband manages a wine and spirits store. I have two sons, aged 26 and 22. After realizing it wasn’t possible to support themselves and the government at the same time, both returned to the nuclear nest. Along with most people in my economic situation, I believe I am living what is supposed to be the American dream. I know why I am an angry American. I am frightened because America isn’t the same country it was when I was my children’s age. Allow me to share with you some of the reasons why I am an angry American.

I am angry because my government has been taken over by liars, thieves, thugs, deviants, and micromanagers. The propaganda it produces rivals that of the most fascist dictatorship.

I am angry that my government perceives my intelligence to be that of a jar of pickles incapable of making the smallest decision.

I am angry that my government takes it upon itself to shove its clucking nose into my pantry, medicine chest, bedroom, family room, doctor’s office, workplace, and everywhere else it thinks I need guidance to keep me safe from myself.

I am angry that the will of the American people is ignored on every issue imaginable. If voting really mattered, it would have been outlawed long ago.

I am angry that I am called a conspiracy theorist because I dare to think on my own and question authority and its lies.

I am angry that the more I read about 9-11 the more it looks like an inside job that was allowed to happen, enabling the Patriot Act to be conveniently enacted into law with the ensuing "war on terrah" following closely on its heels.

I am angry that the evil puppets in power think laws are created for the peon masses and it is their right to ignore the ones that get in the way of their agenda.

I am angry that the media has sold its soul to the evil forces running the world.

I am angry that my "leaders" have taken to calling my country the "homeland." It reeks of socialism.

I am angry that my government has invaded yet another sovereign nation and caused untold death and destruction based on a flimsy lie. I am expected to believe that weapons of mass destruction threatened my freedom and then I am told several years and billions of squandered dollars later that a massive intelligence network got the wrong information. A select group of businesses profit enormously from war. When Bush announced his intention to save Iraq from itself and that its oil would pay for the overthrow of Hussein, I laughed so hard I nearly choked. I remember the instability in the Middle East during the 1970s and the gas "shortages" that followed. I knew which direction gas prices would go. How stupid does Mr. Bush and his cronies think I am?

I am angry that the world stands silently by while my government bombs foreign lands with weapons containing depleted uranium and the news magazines wonder on their front covers why lung cancer has increased six-fold in the last year.

I am angry that Americans accept as gospel the propaganda that is routinely cranked out of the Washington lie machine. The lies become more transparent and brazen with each passing year, yet the only thing that seems to matter in living rooms across America is who will be the next American Idol.

I am angry that I am punished with high energy and gas prices and the resulting inflation because tree-hugging terrorists masquerading as environmentalists have handcuffed my country’s ability to produce its own energy. It would be easy to tell the Middle East what to do with their oil if restrictions on exploration and production were lifted in our own backyard.

I am angry that I am constantly admonished by minimalists for being a greedy consumer because I live where I choose, drive the vehicle of my choice, eat meat, and use tin foil to cover my leftovers.

I am angry that my life doesn’t belong to me anymore.

I am angry that I am required to obtain permission, fill out mandated paperwork in quadruplicate, and obtain the correct license or permit for just about everything imaginable. The tentacles of government are strangling my freedom, choice, and privacy at an alarming rate. The wrath of the machine is a constant threat should I dare do anything without leaving a neon paper trail and of course ignorance of the law is never an excuse.

I am angry that property rights are a thing of the past thanks to court-approved eminent domain theft.

I am angry that the Constitution is routinely declared irrelevant making it easier for a fascist police state and new world order to take over.

I am angry that legislation is in the works that will require me to carry "papers" to "prove" who I am. Another coming law I will ignore.

I am angry that my right to own and carry a firearm is drastically regulated and restricted.

I am angry every time I see a young person detained on the side of the road while cops paw through their possessions looking for anything that could enable them to be arrested and dragged through the criminal justice system. This has become so commonplace it is now the accepted norm.

I am angry that roadblocks are set up under the guise of keeping roads free of drunk drivers. What has happened to my right to travel freely? Why am I presumed guilty without probable cause? I am afraid to have a few drinks when I go out to dinner for fear I will be pulled over and end up in court-ordered drug rehabilitation.

I am angry when I read stories of Americans terrorized in airports and treated like common criminals by government minions after they have paid for the right to travel within a private system, yet pilots are blocked from carrying firearms.

I am angry that America has become a nation of busybodies. We are constantly bombarded with messages to be on the lookout for terrorists around every corner, report "suspicious activity," and rat on our neighbor whenever the opportunity presents itself. Is this not how the Nazis gained control of Germany and then most of Europe?

I am angry that the government requires me to sign a form every time I purchase a prescription. Whose business is it that I choose to take a thyroid medication, an antibiotic, a painkiller, an appetite suppressant, or any other substance? Am I dying of cancer? Am I facing debilitating chronic pain? Do I simply want to get HIGH? Heaven forbid someone out there might get their hands on something that might make them FEEL GOOD! No substance should be illegal or unobtainable. If a person wishes to self-medicate, that is their right. The government should not be in the business of criminalizing personal choices of any kind as long as those choices don’t infringe on another’s rights.

I am angry that my government meddles in the lives of people all over the world but looks the other way on the catastrophic issue of what to do about the millions of illegals who have crashed the gates of this nation. My country’s laws are ignored and mocked, yet I am told I must accept with open arms those who are here illegally. My taxes are used to educate their children in their native language. Hospitals are overrun with indigent people seeking medical care. Untaxed dollars earned in the underground economy are sent to the family back home while social services here are stretched to the limit. I read job want ads stating if you aren’t bilingual don’t bother to apply. What would happen to me if I placed an ad that said don’t bother to apply if your English isn’t understandable? Marches are conducted in my cities’ streets waving their countries’ flags as they shamelessly demand their "rights." I am told they deserve the same opportunities that brought my forefathers here. I am scolded that it is un-American to ask why they are not sent home. I am told that the term "illegal alien" offends them and that they prefer to be called "undocumented workers" and that my economy would die without them. I will happily pay more for fruits and vegetables if it means enforcing sensible immigration laws. But immigration isn’t about the cost of lettuce. It is another facet of an agenda that is bent on changing the face of America. When America is no longer a wealthy country of white European descent, it will be a place worse than anything Orwell could have imagined.

I am angry that my country is the only nation on earth who declares that a baby born on its soil is automatically an American citizen.

I am angry that the thugs that run my country don’t have the guts to declare English my nation’s official language.

I am angry that I have to search a package for English and push a button on every telephone system and ATM machine to continue in English.

I am angry that Washington, D.C.’s Metro is now being pressured to replace every station sign with bilingual verbiage to the tune of millions of dollars. Are bilingual road signs going to be the next mandated law of the land? I am currently forced to pay for voting ballots printed in 15 different languages and my tax dollars pay for interpreter services for people who are summoned to court for breaking laws. If English is the international language of the world, why isn’t it good enough to be the official language of the United States?

I am angry when I am told I am a bigot when I thumb my nose at political correctness.

I am angry when I wonder whether an expressed belief or opinion could land me in litigation if someone doesn’t like what I said and wants to silence my voice.

I am angry that diversity and sensitivity training is being forced on people whose only crime is to dare to speak freely.

I am angry that the symbols, customs, and roots of my Judeo-Christian country are being systematically outlawed because my culture offends newcomers. When we freely choose to go somewhere, are we not accepting the customs and cultures of that place? I am weary of being made to feel guilty for being an American.

And finally, I am angry that after working my entire adult life, I don’t see retirement in my life’s picture. My husband and I earn over a hundred thousand dollars a year, but by the time we pay federal taxes, state taxes, social security taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, energy taxes, telecommunication taxes, savings taxes, fees, permits, etc., there isn’t much left. But please don’t think that I mind supporting every deadbeat and down-and-outer with his hand out for a piece of my pie that I worked so hard for. I love supporting the world. After all, it’s the American way, isn’t it?

Give her some slack Gold, at least she's headed in the right direction.

I wasn't being mean. I was just pointing out that most EVERYBODY when they first start researching almost always think they let it happen... including myself.

Here's the letter I sent...

Dear Mrs. Fassanella,

Excellent article presented today on lewrockwell. Dr. Robert Bowman, the former head of the Star Wars program, recently gave a presentation in Chicago at a conference entitled, "9/11: Revealing The Truth, Reclaiming Our Future". In it, he made a simple analogy. In the 1950's, American families were able to support themselves with one income. Today, American families scrape by with two incomes. It's not rocket science to figure our that the 1% have succeeded in slowly turning America into a third world country for their benefit.

In regards to your statement regarding 9/11 being allowed to happen. First, let me congratulate you on your willingness to seek the truth. Second, most individuals when they start to look at the facts surrounding 9/11 are inclined to think that they let it happen. Those of us in the 9/11 Truth Movement who have been researching this for years, know that they made it happen. In other words, the Government orchestrated the attacks.

I have dedicated my life to exposing that truth, and am happy when I see others like yourself attempting to do the same thing.

Thank you for your very good article. I have it posted on my site. Feel free to stop by and say hello. There are likeminded people there.

Sincerely,

Jon Gold

I don't understand the problem. She sure as hell said everything I've had on my mind since I started travelling this path. Someone please splain why we don't agree with this article. Specifically, what you mena by "we let it happen". Do you mean we let them get this much control before ringing the alarm bell, or what?

Gold9472
07-05-2006, 06:30 PM
No. We DO agree with this article. Beltman713 thought I was being mean, but I was only pointing out something.

Gold just means that every time someone starts to doubt the government's story, about 9/11, they tend to make the smaller leap,"let it happen", instead of going all the way to auctually, "carried it out".

I think people just can't imagine our government being evil enough to have done the latter.

I agree with Susan in almost every statement she made.

I too admit following the "we let it happen" path initially. However, after a small amount of research and the courage to stand up for my beliefs my views changed.

I think the "we let it happen" is the safe end of our truth movement. Its a lot easier to say the administration is a bunch of incompetant morons. Everyone can identify with that.

I always stick with the statement "the truth is not hinderant upon your understanding of it"

I can't say I agree with everything, could probably find a few factual mistakes, but I like her style and on 9/11 she is definitely heading in the right direction.

yeah I agree, when I started I thought they simply let it happen. I think most people once they start to question the official doctrine, they follow that path of truth to its scary end. I am sure she would come to the realization that the government had their mits in every aspect of 9-11 sooner or later without any coaxing.

Once you start to focus on the day's events, and logically think it through... you can only come to one conclusion.

Oh NOW I understand... They let 911 happen. (remember, I'm kinda dumb) No they sure the fuck didn't. They MADE it happen. Luckily I found out the hard way, and all at once. There was no question in my mind from the moment I got into this that they were directly resposible for the WHOLE thing. I thank Alex Jones for that...

Were it that I had come here that fateful November day, instead of to a google search of Alex Jones, I would have to thank him in that regard also. Since I did not, my thanx to him are extended with regard to the fact that I see many informative things on this site that I shamefully would not have dug out on my own.

Okay, I am seriously conflicted about this letter. I agree with most of it and I would like to write and thank her, but the stuff about "1984 is when America is no longer a wealthy white European country" just makes me crazy. I even agree with her that our immigration policies are completely unworkable, but why does she have to make it about race and Judeo-Christian symbols and yada yada?

I am white. My daughter is not white. Her dad, my ex-husband, is the son of LEGAL Mexican immigrants who were hell-bent on assimilation. They worked their asses off and my former father in law was in the Army. Although they still prefer to speak Spanish to each other at home, they refused to speak it to my ex as a child, so that he learned only English. (Their English is completely fluent but they prefer to speak Spanish -- I'd think that falls under the freedom of speech thing -- even if they want to speak to businesses (who want THEIR business, presumably) in that language. ) My ex cannot have a conversation with his grandmother other than one that is completely rudimentary because of their decision to keep him monolingual.

My daughter does not look white. (She is, of course, the most beautiful 7 year old girl in the world nonetheless.) I am frequently asked if she is adopted -- sometimes people just assume she is. Once, someone even called to America's Most Wanted about seeing us together at the grocery store, after a story about a little Latina girl being kidnapped. A cop actually showed up at my door the next day and I was in the surreal position of persuading him that she was my own, without having her birth certificate handy.

I would really like to applaud this woman's positions on many things, most importantly, her unmistakable allusion to 9/11 truth. But I imagine her meeting my daughter and directing even the subtlest racist vibe in her direction, and the words that come to mind are "atomic bitch slap."

Having vented, I think I can put things in perspective and find a way to thank her for the things I do agree with.

If I could make one wish for the 9/11 truth movement, though, and I realize that's not her main shtick, it's that people leave their other ideological baggage at the door. I promise not to try to glom onto it with the other things I feel strongly about, included but not limited to gay marriage, reproductive rights, feminism in general, decriminalization of drugs and prostitution and so forth if other people could kindly shut up about English as a national language, their right to drive SUVs, their antipathy to the environmental movement, etc. Demonstrations of any kind that devolve into one-stop shopping with the socialists, sea turtle puppet people, extreme pro-immigration advocates are my idea of a real downer. Ones that add in a lot of crap about Jews, "femi-nazis," and English as the one true American language -- which has NEVER been the case -- are asking for the hydrogen bomb bitch slap.

Excellent comment! You are absolutely correct, and I agree with you on more points than I do with her.

She is willing to participate in legitimate civic debate, and that is enough. Our Administration wants to destroy the very possibility of a civic debate using the lies of 9/11 as a pretext and that must be stopped, that is why it is such a high priority to defeat those lies.

Right on, Casseia - I felt the same way. There was SO MUCH in that letter that I was def. torn about it. I guess I won't get to into it, but the fact that 'Homeland' reeks of socialism?? I gon't get the jump there from political propoganda to a type of economic system. Because she did, it tells me that she still hasn't decoupled herself from internalizing our own brand of capatalist propoganda.

Also, just for the record, if we kicked out 11 million working immigrants we would be removing something like $220 Billion dollars from the economy. Sorry, but thats a LITTLE more dramatic then paying a bit more for fruits and vegetables. That is economic doomsday.

And finally, being FREE doesn't mean getting to do whatever the fuck you want regardless of the consequences to everyone else - It generally means being able to do whatever the fuck you want until your actions impose on your fellow person - whether they are white or not.

So...I guess I got into it a little, but I don't think the 9/11 truth movements needs to add rascists into the mix. Isn't it enought that we are all tinfoil hat wearers?

I don't care what the PC liberal crowd thinks of this... To date, this is one of the best articles I have have read summarizing the problems we face as Americans.
