A Conspiracy Of Fear

I guess I think people don’t get along good enough to hatch a grand conspiracy. What’s the track record for sustaining a secret over a long period of time? The idea there are puppet masters pulling the strings makes sense as fiction but the problem is, real life doesn’t make sense. In Fiction you need cause and effect, a leading to b leading to c. Real life doesn’t work that way. Real life follows Murphy’s Law. You know; if any thing can go wrong it will.

This is one of the things the novel WAR AND PEACE is about, all the variables it is impossible to take into consideration.
Take 9-11. The make the claim this is an inside job. Who would have to be in on this? Anybody that has to do with monitoring the skies on the east coast, air traffic controllers, civilian and military and eyes on the ground, all the people who had anything to do with the films, the people who launched the supposed missiles and their support structure, The cell phone people who over heard the calls from flight 93, Osama and the jihad’s over seas and their families, Whatever chain of command and logistics over here involved in plotting and carrying out the covert operation. And all these people would have to be willing to take out the World Trade Center, take a swipe at the Pentagon, and bungle the flight 93 part, and all of these people would have to keep it quiet before, during, and after, not a peep. What are the odds?

But that’s just part of the conspiracy we are expected to believe. It’s a plot to turn us into a police state, put us in concentration camps, and they’ve got the microchips waiting to be injected. And bankers control it all; you know what that’s code for, don’t you? And it goes back years, tens, hundreds, thousands, in depends on whom you talk to.

Now, get this. It’s been kept secret all these years, except from these guys, and they have proof, documentation, eyewitnesses, affidavits. They have all this proof. They brought it to every one they can think of, congressmen, senators, law enforcement, the media, and not one of them has examined the evidence, and said, "Holy shit. We have to do something, I know some people we can trust.” The reason people don’t do this, because all of them are either in on it or too scared to buck the system. This is the most unsupportable link in there argument.

Humans as a whole are notoriously corrupt and unable to get along over extended periods of time, but as individuals we can rise above ourselves and put others before us. The first responders, who ran into the WTC, argue against them, Nelson Mandela, Bishop Desmond Tutu, and Steve Biko argue against them. The thousands fighting in Afghanistan, the police and firemen who risk their lives every day argue against them. Gandhi, Martin Luther King, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner argue against them. Morris Dees argues against them.

They rail against the politics of fear and they are its worst offenders and finest practitioners and their own fear has led them to construct a boogeyman for adults. Hide under your beds if you must. Most of us are called to something greater than to live in a conspiracy of fear.
