Dogs That Don't Bark

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so." How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar - Julius Caesar Do you remember the early years of the Third Reich? Do you remember how the NAZIs shifted the attention of the German people to the Jews? Who was implicated in the burning of the Reichstag? A young, mentally retarded Jew. Upon crystallizing the German temperament against the symbolic affront to the national honor, a program of euthanasia to remove the mentally and physically handicapped from society began and included Jews and anyone who tried to help them. At first there were restrictions, the Nuremburg Laws, and then came the camps, such as Dachau, and eventually Treblinka and Auschwitz. The supposed perpetrator of the Reichstag Fire was a hapless, mentally retarded Jew who could barely function in normal life. With one fell swoop, the mentally retarded, physically handicapped, the Jews and, later, others, were swept into concentration camps and eventually over 12 million exterminated, starved or worked to death. The Reichstag Fire succeeded in uniting the German people behind the NAZI regime and allowed the latter to create a totalitarian regime despite a highly educated and developed culture. They created their Homeland Security Police well recognized today as the Gestapo--the Geheime Staatspolizei. It starts to get easier and easier to recognize the pattern doesn't it? Those who don't know their history are condemned to repeat it. This trick has been repeated time and again by those who wish to usurp power. It's a simple trick....create a tragic and highly symbolic disaster and find a way to blame it on whatever group or imaginary group they wish as a target. Cassius used the gladiator rebellion under the leadership of Spartacus to threaten Rome. Spartacus and his gladiator were anxious to get away to freedom, but the ships on which they were to embark were bought off by Cassius' men and Roman legions positioned to ensure that the only route of escape was toward Rome. With the threat focused, Cassius was able to create a panic that initiated the dictatorship of Rome that we euphemistically call the Roman Empire. We had our Reichstag Fire, our "Gladiator Army" all rolled up into one dazzling and befuddling day and the warning was 911. Still, most Americans are little more alert than the Germans of 1933. Not just the kids are dumbed down. A large percentage of American adults are similarly programmed, distracted, and easily mislead. The clues are there to be discovered by those who can shed their conditioning. It's not an easy process, but that is the challenge......for whomever wishes to accept it. Fpr example, isn't it a bit strange that the alleged hijackers prepared to enter paradise with their luggage? Doesn't this raise just a little skepticism? Isn't it a bit strange that without a public investigation of 9-11, the Bush Administration restricted constitutional freedoms with the USA Patriot Act and the Office of Homeland Security? Isn't it strange that the Bush Administration obstructed such an investigation and no reporter asked about that? Now we have a similar program of disinformation, misinformation and outright propaganda pointing the finger at imaginary "hijackers" several of whom are still living in the Middle East despite a very nasty crash and burn. Before 9-11, we have evidence of a Mohammed Atta, supposedly the leader of the "hijackers," in two or three different places at the same time, and nobody in the mainstream media is even curious about the anomaly. The media did NOT investigate. Despite several anomalies. Perhaps you have read the A. Conan Doyle story, "The Hound of the Baskervilles." Sherlock Holmes solved the mystery because of something that did NOT happen......the dogs did NOT bark. September 11, 2001, the US Air Force did NOT respond and General Myers gave several different stories of what had happened within an hour during his confirmation hearings. The embarrassed senators asked him to share his information in closed session because he had so terribly botched his lines. Finally, it required a story through Dan Rather at CBS to salvage the party-line. There were no planes, then there were planes but they arrived too late, and so on. Those interceptors that supposedly were launched were sent from air bases farther away and proceeded at subsonic speeds far below their capacity. We are even supposed to believe that the most massive, technologically sophisticated military the world has ever seen was incapable of defending itself. Then there is the Secret Service, whose job it is to protect the President and Vice President from attack. In July 2001, the President and other leaders of the industrialized nations who were meeting at the Genoa Summit had been threatened by an attack from the air by terrorist planning to fly commercial jets into their meeting place. Heavy security by the Italian government prevented any such event, but that should have gotten the attention of the Secret Service. Normal practice for the Secret Service is to quickly remove the President and/or Vice President to a safe place. Yet on September 11, 2001, when planes were hijacked and one had already hit one of the towers at the World Trade Center, the Secret Service did NOT remove the President from a publicly announced appearance that was scheduled for an elementary school only minutes from the local international airport. This is the dog that did NOT bark that sheds light on the perpetrators of the disaster. You can choose NOT to think or ask questions. You can choose to follow the false information that leads to the supposed "terrorists" du jour. You can learn from the patterns that can be traced in past history so that you can apply it to the current events that create our contemporary history. You can also call this a rant, a rave, a sermon.....whatever you need to do to excuse yourself from considering carefully. That will not change your part in discovering yourself in this process. After all, that is all that really matters, anyway. Have you learned from history? It seems that a majority of Americans, believe that history is just old news and no one can change it, anyway. Of course they can't. That isn't even the point. History provides patterns that we can learn to recognize so that we can avoid them. Properly presented, history provides any of us with invaluable tools to help us see behind the illusions. No one who is paying attention to the patterns and their application to today's events would fail to miss the signals or the dog that fails to bark. "In Germany they came first for the
