Chuck Baldwin: "9/11 was a tyrant's dream"
Chuck Baldwin ran for US President in 2008 as a third-party candidate endorsed by Ron Paul, opposing both Barack Obama and John McCain. Yesterday, he wrote regarding 9/11 as follows:
"As the date of this column is so close to the infamous date of 9/11, I was going to write about the spiral into a police state that the would-be tyrants in Washington, D.C., are plunging us into. Of course, 9/11 is the excuse for every big-government abridgment of liberty that has taken place over the last 12 years. 9/11 was the justification for the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan; it was the justification for passing the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the NDAA. 9/11 justifies the Department of Homeland Security, the TSA, and USNORTHCOM. 9/11 is the excuse given for launching deadly drone attacks against all kinds of people in Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, etc. And now, 9/11 is the excuse for a brand new military action against Syria.
"Police can break down the door of your house without a warrant because of 9/11; police can set up checkpoints on America’s highways because of 9/11; you and I can be indefinitely incarcerated without being told why and without being allowed legal counsel because of 9/11; Americans can be sent off to prison--even foreign prisons--without benefit of a trial because of 9/11; American citizens can even be killed by government agents without being charged with a crime because of 9/11; entire cities (such as Boston) can be thrust into martial law because of 9/11. All of our electronic correspondence, phone calls, and financial activity can be monitored by the feds because of 9/11. The list is endless.
"9/11 was a tyrant’s dream. The America that honored the Constitution, that believed in the Bill of Rights, that revered the Declaration of Independence, that believed in State sovereignty, that believed in personal liberty and limited government died on 9/11/01. What we have left is nothing but a burgeoning police state."

A few years ago, I spoke personally to Mr. Baldwin regarding 9/11/2001, specifically my research findings. He listened with keen interest. Is Mr. Baldwin right about how 9/11 has been used for such transformation in the United States?

Transformative Event
I agree, the US has indeed been transformed by 911 and the heightened state of fear and alarm that has been continually thrust upon Americans thereafter has been used as a political swiss army knife to justify all the things that Mr Baldwin notes, and goodness only knows what else in the future. In 1998, Philip Zelikow published an article in Foreign Affairs, the journal of the Council on Foreign Relations, entitled Catastrophic Terrorism: Imagining the Transformative Event. This from a man who also wrote a thesis on the creation of public myths.
There simply must be awareness among American politicians as to the falsehood of the official story of 911, let's face it, if we can work it out, so can they. I personally believe that there will come a time when it is politically expedient in the US for 911 to be broached by those who seek political office at a level from which an investigation could be launched, and perhaps articles such as these are a hint of that intent amongst some.

Swann interviews Bob McIlvaine and Tony Szamboti in his documentary published Sept. 10, 2013. Both do an excellent job explaining the facts and their concerns. I know it is difficult for Bob to talk about the loss of his son in this way; my special kudos to Bob for speaking out.
