This commentary, though filled with righteous anger, sounds more like the guillotine mobs clamoring for executions during the French Revolution. Bush was pretty good as an execution governor before he became president but that doesn't mean we on the 911 truth movement should condone his tactics. I call again on the exquisite example laid before us with Nelson Mandela's Truth and Reconciliation legislation. Truth telling and honesty are what's needed in gargantuan doses to remedy the sickness of government in America. The flip side of Truth is forgiveness. Yes you can have forgiveness with justice. We need trials and discovery efforts to bring everything out in the open. To resort to revenge and calls for executions is to employ the methods of our enemies and hence a methodology that has yielded a mountain of sad & toxic outcomes.
The Truth movement represents a tremendous opportunity for the moral evolution of the consciousness of America. If we truly deplore the official methods of death dealing then we shouldn't employ them in our good cause. Christopher Epler needs to consider this carefully.

Yes, 911 is definately a good place to start. It is a slam dunk case, just like the Anthrax. A new president could see to that.

But I dissagree with one or two small points in your position:

At the Liberation of Realism you say: "And while we're at it let's note again that in study after study and interview after interview with generals and the most highly placed intelligence officials, the international consensus is that America has NEVER been in such absolute danger from terrorism as we are now." Also elsewhere in your text you say: "And this is all in addition to the terrorist breeding grounds we have created all over the planet."

Do you still believe in the war on terror? If so then you also believe that 911 was an Outside Job and they let it happen. But then how do you explain the demolitions?

Also, I do not hear you say that the occupied populations of the ravaged lands have the recognized civilized right to resist invading fascist forces, and resist puppet tyrant regimes. We the People have already declared independance, remember?.

In the name of 911 truth and justice, I will go so far as to say that Amerika (and related poodles) should pay war damagesand the leaders tried in court for crimes against humanity, just like the Germans did. Such compensation should NOT burden innocent people. Such compensation can be covered by corporate assest confiscation, and the destitution of all participating local and international assistants and profeteers, including all shareholders of global terrorist companies, and that includes collaborating media and the other spies supporting the said terrorists.

And whle I am at it, I might as well say, I disagree with the death penalty. Cut off their noses instead, or put them away for life in one of their crummy prisons, like Bagram or Guantanamo,or jail them by a squalid puppet dictator. Water board them if you like, but we dont do torture (until death).

Still, your statements are powerful. I will read more on your site.

You must be kidding. There's not enough of a country left here for anything like this to happen.

Just like Orangutan I meant to hi-five Chris' op-ed piece. John's viewpoint then got to me too, just like him.

Chris, this is good and gutty writing. Thanks!

But the phrase, "the Bush/Republicans weren't just asleep at the wheel..." and similar ones, miss a crucial point. None of the current takeover could have occurred without massive complicity from across the aisle. So I find it hard to differentiate, generally at least, between Democrats and Republicans in this grotesque, continuing, and even growing mess.

Democrats as a group, in Congress at least, are basically as in on this as anyone, don't you agree? How otherwise can we explain the utter lack of attention to it, and to so very many other blatant atrocities, post 9-11 Shock and Awe show?

And now to change focus...

John's points about forgiveness and reconciliation surprise me with what looks, in my opinion, to be deep wisdom. One does not see that so very often these days, actual wisdom. Especially not on the Internet, nor in the media in general.

I do believe, with John, -- and now that he mentions it -- that there is no other way at all to end this madness. Find everything out, turn everything upside down, repair the gross rot, rebuild, and forgive. Start with real 9-11 investigation. Let prison terms result, as needed. But more important, let forgiveness also come, in great heaps.

As in South Africa, it is a whole sub-segment of society that is behind all of this. The ruling elite. The same was true in South Africa, and Mandella managed it there when he came to power. That's what we need. In fact, the world needs us to do that.

lesage is fully correct here!

it is the people making profits from war that will be made to pay reperations, . and serve prison sentances based on level of involvment, or activist activites during the waring,. Only makes sence, in americas beloved 'market system', those that would choose to make profits from war shall pay the piper.
As far as the killing,. well, no peacenik is going to go savage, even on these PNAC sickos,. . first of all killing is wrong. we all know that. second don't you think it lets them off easy?!? I say; keep them alive as long as is medicaly possible,. lock them up in Gwantonamo,. turn the whole place into a sunny resort and PAY rent to Cuba! people could go there and have a few words with these killers,. threw some bars or glass,. for mutual protection. the whole prison should be brodcasting live video 24/7 so the world can see these guys live out their sad and pathetic lives,. .
How this will come about I don't know,. although I do see more and more zombified people waking up to the reality that PNAC pulled 9/11 and have thoroughly kicked the sht out of democracy, They simply find themselves traped in a system they are hoplessly dependent upon, . and now these same bankers prepare the collapse of the american ecconomy?!? is that the 'national emergancy' that will unlesh the Martial Law Police State? or perhaps it will come as a new pandemic spreads out of millitary instilations around the world,. . bleek i know,. however fits the profile. If a critical mass of people CAN DO ANTHING we need to reach it soon as if these sicko fascists greed mongers are not willing to let Hillary run a kinder cleaner version of this pogrum then they will pull some dirty trick in the next year.,
