America is under attack, but you can forget about Osama bin Laden this time. The real terrorists are the fascists in the Bush administration. The video that was presented on Thursday in Willamette Hall, entitled “The Truth and Lies of 9-11,” gave substantial evidence that demonstrates President George W. Bush knew beforehand of the horrifying attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and did nothing to help prevent them.
The U.S. government has since been engaged in a propaganda campaign to elicit blind support from Americans for the “War on Terrorism,” which is much more than dismantling al-Qaida.
Indeed, there is much more to 9-11 than is presented in the mass media. To begin, a vast amount of oil reserves exist in South Asia surrounding Afghanistan, and the United States has had an interest in obtaining control of these reserves; it is now very convenient that we have a “reason” to attack the area, but where’s bin Laden? In addition to this war, a different kind of war is being waged here in America. It is the attack on our civil liberties. Our constitution is being eaten away with the pretext of national security and patriotism.
Here’s my message in this letter: We need to start a revolution. This may sound like a stretch, but the revolution I propose is simply an all-out effort to organize people to fight for our rights as citizens and change from being apathetic to being active. Spread the word.
