I think the reasons for that are complex, but you know I was watching a documentary with Chomsky recently, and I don't agree with everything Chomsky says of course, far from it, and I can't remember which it was he was talking about;....either WWII from Germany's perspective or Vietnam from America's but he said the intelligentsia of the day were completely behind it.

As bizarre as it sounds, you can't exclusively look to academia overall as a moderating influence on government, in fact sadly often quite the reverse. Another example here in the UK; there seems to be very very few strong dissenting voices from academia about the New Labour's radical realignment of society into a quantized political police state. One guy from LSE has been quite vocal against this, particularly re the human ID slave grid, but generally it's pretty pathetic. Academics wrote to the government about their 'Glorification of Terror Law' here, but not to say it was wrong (which it is), but to ensure they could be exonerated from it.

For by far the most part, and with notable exceptions like Professor Barret and the other great scholars for 911 Truth, academia internationally remains a pretty poisoned political object that actually is just not very intelligent at all, and it should not, and cannot be looked to, at least on its own, as some sort of safeguard against tyranny. It sounds incredible, but that's just how it is.

That said, Jon is absolutely right to be positive, pro-active and strongly talk about those professors and the many others of all walks of life who have came forward to take a stand and inspire others.

Keep up the good work Jon and Kevin.

For the history, and the cool stuff.

But fortunately, there's something sort of akin to hope that's there all the time -- and that is my intention to do the right thing even if it's in vain. It's not a grim resolution at all; it leads to something more like a sense of liberation and simplification.

I had been telling myself that over and over. And I believed it. Maybe I'm just having a bad week. :p

We ALL go through those inner battles. Am I doing the right thing? Is there any chance we can succeed?

Sometimes we "win" those battles, and sometimes we "lose." I do know this. 2973+ were brutally murdered on 9/11, and no one has been held accountable. No one.

Unless you count Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and the people of America, and everyone affected by the decisions of this Government. Which essentially includes everyone.

We can't give up. We just can't.
