How can people be so brainwashed

Television is called programing for a reason. We have been conditioned to believe from a young age, that the minute you begin to question the government or authority you are unpatriotic, and you don't love your country. It is this fear that people buy into that prevents them from even considering different possibilities.

Something like 95% of the media is owned by four major corporations.
The Media tells us how we should think, feel, and act. They are the ones that decide what is acceptable and what isn't. How dare anyone begin to question things and think for themselves. People for the most part are products of their environment. The Media, which surrounds us is a major part of this environment.

Not to mention the more you become dependant on these sources - or any external source of information - the more dependant one becomes.

I would advocate a more holistic approach to studies in general - spending too much time glued to a television or it's polar opposite on any given topic and allowing other people to make the documentaries, recycle the same information and take an authoritiative stance on any position and issue is unbalance, unhealthy and akin to brainwashing - it's just asking for further trouble and confusion.

Regardless of position.

Free your mind!

Read a book that makes you feel good about something.

The Truth Movement has two tactics at this point:

a) Prove to everyone that the government engineered 9/11.

or

b) Prove to themselves that everyone is blind and/or stupid.

They've failed to do the first and now have almost entirely fallen back onto the second.

It's actually the second step in the 5 stages of grief: ANGER.

This will not apply though to the people that debate this topic. There wouldn't be a debate if you or any other believer of the official story were feeble minded.

This is the third stage: BARGAINING.

As part of the bargaining process, I will agree with you regarding your position on testifying and classified material.

Your even told by the United States of America's president.. That outrageous conspiracy theroies will NOT be tolerated!!!
Just this spoken word here shows me things are not what they seem..
This is straight for the horses mouth folks.. think about what he is really saying here

Boy that didn't take long for Godwin's law to come out. Where is exactly is the police state? I am sorry, I must be blind I don't see it. Please show me your examples of it.

Massive amounts of people DO know it by now. Aren't you sick and tired of being wrong already?

Why do you keep making numbers up? Can you show us some proof?

I wonder why this idiot is even on a conspiracy site other than being a troll.

Ummmm then you need to raise your awareness level of Nazi Germany IMO. After 1933 Germany was a one party state dictatorship. If you were a Jew, you werent a German citizen after 1935. Not all citizens in Germany under the Nazi's could buy anything they wanted and travel to any place they wanted. Don't claim that.
www.historylearningsite.co.uk...

Here is some highlights for you:

Hitler asked Hindenburg to grant him emergency powers in view of the 'communist takeover'. Using the constitution, Hindenburg agreed to pass the Law for the Protection of the People and the State.

This law gave Hitler what he wanted - a ban on the Communists and Socialists taking part in an election campaign. The leaders from both parties were arrested and their newspapers were shut down. To 'keep the peace' and maintain law and order, the SA (the Brown Shirts) roamed the streets beating up those who openly opposed Hitler.

On 7th April 1933, Nazi officials were put in charge of all local government in the provinces.

On May 2nd 1933, trades unions were abolished, their funds taken and their leaders put in prison. The workers were given a May Day holiday in return.

On July 14th 1933, a law was passed making it illegal to form a new political party. It also made the Nazi Party the only legal political party in Germany.

For all the power the Enabling Act gave Hitler, he still felt threatened by some in the Nazi Party. He was also worried that the regular army had not given an oath of allegiance. Hitler knew that the army hierarchy held him in disdain as he was 'only ' a corporal in their eyes. The Night of the Long Knives not only removed the SA leaders but also got Hitler the army's oath that he so needed.

Jews in Nazi Germany prior to WW2

After January 1933, the Jews became the "Untermenschen" - the sub-humans. Nazi thugs stopped Germans from shopping in Jewish shops. By 1934, all Jewish shops were marked with the yellow Star of David or had the word "Juden" written on the window. SA men stood outside the shops to deter anyone form entering. This was not necessarily a violent approach to the Jews - that was to come later - but it was an attempt to economically bankrupt them and destroy what they had spent years building up.

On buses, trains and park benches, Jews had to sit on seats marked for them. Children at schools were taught specifically anti-Semitic ideas. Jewish school children were openly ridiculed by teachers and the bullying of Jews in the playground by other pupils went unpunished. If the Jewish children responded by not wanting to go to school, then that served a purpose in itself and it also gave the Nazi propagandists a reason to peddle the lie that Jewish children were inherently lazy and could not be bothered to go to school.

In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws were passed. The Jews lost their right to be German citizens and marriage between Jews and non-Jews was forbidden. It was after this law that the violence against the Jew really openly started. Those that could pay a fine were allowed to leave the country. Many could not and many shops refused to sell food to those who remained. Medicines were also difficult to get hold of as chemists would not sell to Jews.

On the 10th November (1938), the campaign started. 10,000 shops owned by Jews were destroyed and their contents stolen. Homes and synagogues were set on fire and left to burn. The fire brigades showed their loyalty to Hitler by assuming that the buildings would burn down anyway, so why try to prevent it? A huge amount of damage was done to Jewish property but the Jewish community was ordered to pay a one billion mark fine to pay for the eventual clear-up. Jews were forced to scrub the streets clean.

Sorry for the long quotes, there was a major case of someone claiming something that needed to be disproven.

You may think we are now far from free, however we are even farther from being a Nazi one state dictatorship. The comparison is not even close.

I challenge anyone to prove the official story of 911. We have done our job bringing you the proof to support our side, you bring proof to support yours.

But, of course, I have look at the proof that your side has to support the official story, Ive looked closely at the governments own story of the event, and you will find once you look at their proof too, that it quickly begins to unravel and defy logic.

So again, I challenge anyone to provide reasonable proof, and dont quote some government source that says "this is what happened" show some real tangible proof that 19 hijackers flew the planes into the buildings.

You cant because the proof was fabricated to begin with. Fake hijacker passport, fake confession tapes, fake cell phone calls, I mean it was a lie from the start.

This is why no one can ever get anywhere in these discussions. When there is someone who is new to the topic and wants to learn about it, they end up with stories about hitler and the nazis. If you have to prove him/her wrong then just send a u2u.

No offence but most of your "proof" is based on conjecture that can't seem to find physical proof for.

Granted this is from an unsucessful highjack crash attempt, but it still is evidence. Probably faked in your eyes right? Even though the people on the ground in the recordings are still alive.
www.thememoryhole.org...
Ok do you think this is fabricated as well? If you think everything is fabricated than how can we use it to convince you. Your mind is already closed and made up is it not. Denial of evidence and automatically throwing it out is hardly a way to prove your theory.

You cant because the proof was fabricated to begin with. Fake hijacker passport, fake confession tapes, fake cell phone calls, I mean it was a lie from the start.

Slow down there. First prove that all the things you say are fake are? You are the one contending that, you must prove it. Just cause you say it is faked does not make it so. See where this is a pointless discussion? How can someone debate someone who is always right with no need to prove their side?

You contend that the WTC's fell not due to the airliners hitting but what exactly? Give me your personal belief as to the exact mechanisms that took place to cause the WTC's and the Pentagon attacks on 9/11.

No, those that are unaware of history need to be reminded of it. Lies and misrepresentations repeated often enough seem to become truth in this day and age. Doing it publicly hopefully sheds some awareness to others as well. I was not the one to bring up the point in the first place.

Back to the topic though.

Originally posted by LightWorker13

Say What? Done your job to bring proof to support your side? What Proof? A YouTube Video? YGBSM!

How about a true peer-reviewed study on ANY of the main points of this conspiracy theory.

The 9/11 conspiracy theories have NO proof to back them up. Only conjecture, hunches, and wishfull thinking--Buying into this smokescreen of cherry-picked half-truths is being veiled, and yet simutaneously emboldened by the truth leaders as traits of an open-mind, an amazing power of observation that is possessed by only a few of the sharpest minds ( the true believers).. when in actuality a closed mind is being produced.... The victim is so busy feeling special, rarely do they realize they have been duped.

Again, you guys give no proof of your own....

Well, since you seem to be unaware of it, lets talk about the sham called the hijackers passports. You dont wanna give me proof, so Ill give me your proof. Just to examine it logically, and dive into the details of the official story. Please read this till the end.

Did you know that not 1 but 2 passports were claimed to be found by the State Department? One at ground zero, one at the Pentagon, how convenient (not to mention the passports found at the london train bombings, all 4 of them).

So let me get this straight. We have a paper passport in the pants of a hijacker on a plane about to fly into the WTC. Everyone who was on that plane has one. Plane crashes, huge explosion, massive fireball, crashed metal, mangled bodies, wreckage, heat that supposedly melted structural steel, masses of bodies never to be found.

And miraculously, out of the ether....Poof! Out of all the passports to survive, a hijackers passport is found a flew blocks from ground zero; next to the body of former FBI John Oneil who quit because he knew the government got warnings and were doing nothing about it, and september 10 was hired to work in the WTC.

Mustve been an act of God.

Yet another act of God. In 2005, years later, the Pentagon puts out a report saying they had found another passport at the Pentagon with Flight 93. Let us examine this closely. Barely any wreckage of the plane was found. The only wreckage that survived could be picked up by hand. No bodies of any of the people on that were on that plane were found, not even the hijackers. But, again, a paper passport can survive, practically unscathed, that just insults the intelligence!

Now from these passports, within hours, they were able to get the names, pictures, affiliations and history, of 19 hijackers, when they had no idea it was gonna happen they said. Please, insult my intelligence some more.

And, as its comes out, did you know that out of the 19 supposed hi-jackers, at least 7 have reported themselves to be alive and well, and working for legitimate business's. In fact one guy, who goes by the name Abdullaziz Al-Amori, is actually a Flight Attendant for Saudi Airlines, and the day after 911, called the US embassy in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and asked "why am I being named a hijacker?"

Well, gee, I guess if passports can survive, they can parachute!!

It is utter nonsense. Its funny because when the State Department came out and said "look what we found, we found the passports of the hijackers, we got the proof!" people were like " oh they were right then, it was them damn arabs!"

Then it comes out it was a lie, the people were still alive, this was in the mainstream media for a short time. But when the SD was questioned about the fake passports, they just said "yea that was a mistake, were sorry" and the story just disappeared! Never mentioned again!!

Its ridiculous, and you cant tell me you didnt know or that Im making all this up, when a quick google search will show you all you need to know, nevermind doing your own investigating like I have. Its ridiculous, the official story makes no sense, if you want, I can dissect it even more for you.

But again, my challenge is still on. Provide me with some proof to discount my proof, or provide me with some proof to prove your case. Id like to hear it.

I gave you some proof yet you don't even mention it. Tell me why that is not evidence/proof in your mind? Was the whole conversation faked in realtime as the event was occurring? How? How about the video of the planes themselves crashing into the WTC's? Are those pieces of proof for you. You do admit that those planes struck the WTC's at least right?

If 19 Arab highjackers did not take over those planes, what in your mind happend on those flights? I am very curious and await your answer.

Lightworker, I wasn't there and I don't claim to have personal inside proof. I honestly don't know what you are asking for. If you will not consider any of the current eveidence as it is "tainted" by the government, I don't know what would work for you. Would only 9/11 truth movement evidence be the only acceptable proof?

As to a passport surviving the crash, why is that totally impossible or even improbable? Objects far larger than that had survived the impact, or do you even doubt that? Not everything in the crashes were totally vaporized as you seem to imply. Do you deny this?

If your claim of faked passports is true and highjackers still alive after attacks, why haven't they been reported more and revealed? Surely these would be important facts. These are logical questions in response to your theory? Since yours is the theory in doubt, first try proving your side, before you do other things. As someone else said, show me a peer reviewed paper on ANY aspect of ANY 9/11 conspirarcy theory? Go ahead, look for them and post them.

I would like to see some evidence supporting that a passport COULD survive such an explosion. Its not impossible, but certainly improbable.

Hey man the passport is made out of paper, the heat melted the structural steel but couldnt melt a passport??

Now you are being skeptical beyond reason. Its not reasonable to believe that 2 passports of the hijackers, none others just the hijackers, survived on 911 and on 7/7, you forgot to note that the bombers passports were found there too.

Man, either this is just one amazing miraculous against all odds coinicidence, or its a lie to support the official theories.

But why would the government need to lie unless they were trying to hide something? What are they trying to hide? Could it be their involvement? Ahh now you see why there are people out there who believe 911 was an inside job?

Im not saying I know what happened, no one knows for sure expect those who did it, our job is to look at all facts brought out by all sides, and make a reasonable decision based on all the evidence, logic and reason, not just buy into a government theory that cant hold any ground.

And yes anything you get from government is gonna be tainted to be biased for government, hate to break it to you but thats how it is.


[edit on 13-4-2007 by LightWorker13]

And thats just the passports, what about the rest of the inconsistencies? What about the 7 hijackers still alive, what about WTC7, what about the fact that steel doesnt melt at 1800 degrees, what about blast points and cringes as the buildings are collapsing, what about ignored pre-911 warnings, what about PNAC, what about Northwoods, what about the japanese architect who designed the towers saying they could take multiple jet impacts, what about policemen and firemen who said they heard explosions, what about seismograph tests that show explosion like vibrations as the buildings are collapsing, what about the obviously fake Bin Laden confession tape..

You see, all these things taken in isolation..."well thats just a coincidence!"

But taken all together, and they point to a very disturbing conclusion...if our government wasnt complicit in the attacks, their theory certainly holds no grounds and in fact there is alot of evidence and pure logic to disprove it, and prove they were fabricating the evidence.

No , no no! you have it ALL wrong, dude. There was no hijacker by the name of Abdullaziz Al-Amori.. You must be talking about Abdul Aziz Alomari (AKA Abu Abbas Al Janoobi).

Who you ARE referring to though is Waleed *A Alshehri, He is a pilot for Saudi Airlines.

This is Waleed A Alshehri:



He wasn't a hijacker at all, although there was an incorrect preliminary report that he was Wail Alshehri ...Here:



In this CNN photo not only has Waleed *A Alshehri identified as Wail Alshehri (pictured below) but has Abdulaziz Alomari incorrectly identified as well...First, here is Wail Alshehri the brother of Waleed *M (as in Mohammed) Alshehri:

Wail Alshehri the terrorist:



Wail looks nothing like the Saudi Pilot Waleed A Alshehri-- But he does look like his brother, and fellow terrorist Waleed M Alshehri:

Waleed M Alshehri the terrorist:



Now that you know Who exactly works for Saudi Airlines (waleed A Alshehri), and who were terrorists (Waleed M Alshehri and Wail Alshehri), and why that CNN report was incorrect; we can now look at just WHO this Alomari character is.

The Alomari pictured in the CNN report was NOT the terrorist Abdul Aziz Alomari(AKAAbu Abbas Al-Janoobi). Here is a picture of the terrorist Abdul Aziz Alomari:



Here is a picture of the terrorist Abdul Aziz Alomari with Mohammed AttaIn the United States on September 10th 2001 at an ATM machine:



Here is a video of the terrorist Abdul Aziz Alomari speaking at an Al Queda meeting in the presence of other known 9/11 terrorists, and the Al Queda leadership:


Here is a video of the terrorist Abdul Aziz Alomari's martyrdom video, and A security camera photo of Alomari and Atta beyond the airport security check area in Portland, Maine on 9/11 2001-- if you take the time to read his words his intentions are clear:

Well my research and your research seem to conflict, but what conflicts even more is the government account and hard facts.

If there were hijackers, and Im not saying there werent, but if they were, they were most certainly CIA, because Muhammed Atta, and Osama Bin Laden, as you know, all are ex-CIA. And you gotta ask if they were once working for the CIA, could they still be working for the CIA.

Its obvious who benefits from 911, the government does. They get more power, more funding, more control, they get to slap labels on people who disagree, calling them anti-american traitor jewish haters, or whatever, and then they get to make huge revenues overseas with drugs and oil, along with wasting billions of dollars of money that is supposed to go for reconstruction, yet Iraqs infrastructure still lies in ruins.

Not only that, but this is a broader plan outlined in PNAC to expand American influence dominance and control in all areas of global affairs. That means at home too, and the civil crackdown on sovereignty and the war on the middle class, and NAFTA, are right in line with the agenda.

Its time to start really looking at whats happening to this country, and ask well what if maybe our government was in fact aiding in this mayhem. Maybe they dont care about the people, and are only out for their interests.
