   Buried Beneath An   
   Avalanche Of Lies   
   Chronicle Of A Battle For The Truth   
   That Has Now Been Lost

   I remember the day when the Berlin Wall fell and everybody immediately   
   started talking about a Peace Dividend, money that would be diverted from   
   making weapons and invested in social improvements. And I remember that   
   bright and hopeful turn of the millennium into the two thousands, when   
   eager optimists predicted that a new kind of humane society would sweep   
   the earth to make wars obsolete and living sweet. Neither, of course, has   
   come to pass. Or will anytime soon.   
      
   Instead, the new millennium has brought with it a return to unapologetic   
   barbarism, in which the human aspirations of compassion and understanding   
   have been crushed in the maw of raw power. Instead of leaping ahead into   
   a new 21st century of enlightenment, the human species has apparently   
   decided to lurch backwards into the 19th century, where the only things   
   that really matter are the size of your guns and your bank account.   
      
   Where the outstretched hand of those in need is greeted with a bullet to   
   the face, accompanied by some smug justification about survival of the   
   Chosen few. No, this is not what I call evolution.   
      
   The events of September 11, 2001 changed the tone of civilized society,   
   perhaps forever. As people around the globe poured out admiring sympathy   
   for the victims of the atrocity in New York, the leaders of the U.S.   
   embarked on a fateful course: to start shooting at the rest of the world   
   until everybody everywhere fell into line in submissive gestures of   
   terrified subservience.   
      
   Small matter now that a small number of people immediately smelled a rat,   
   reasoning that rifle-carrying religious zealots in faraway Asian caves   
   could have mastered the complex necessities of paralyzing military   
   defenses and skirting well-established airport strictures to pull off   
   such a bold caper all by themselves. Even as the anomalies of that day   
   multiplied into full-blown suspicions, the American public relations   
   goliath silenced all skepticism, and preserved the scripted accounts as   
   patriotic gospel to justify the new plan to start killing innocents in   
   the name of revenge. It was the American modus operandi of cowboys   
   killing Indians at its bloody best.   
      
   Intelligent people immediately marvelled at the clumsiness of the   
   official lies, and wondered how it came to be that the American people,   
   whom the media apparatus continually reminded us were the most   
   intelligent in the world, could be duped by such a flawed fable.   
      
   Some of those people immediately protested that the government's account   
   of 9/11 was surely a fake. Four hijacked planes flying free for an hour?   
   Why did we spend all that money on the defense budget? How could this   
   have happened? But these questions were immediately shouted down by flag-   
   waving mourners. Show some respect for the dead, they snarled, muttering   
   murmurs of treason and applauding those who suspended their   
   Constitutional rights in a frenzied hunt for more so-called terrorists.   
      
   These bereaved and outraged flag-wavers didn't really give it a second   
   thought when the rubble of the World Trade Center - the best evidence we   
   had to ferret out the real truth about the attacks, and perhaps identify   
   the method and maybe even the perpetrators of the attacks - was summarily   
   carted off and made to disappear. Most people didn't notice when our   
   indignant leaders claimed they had no idea such a preposterously bold   
   attack could ever happen - even when those same leaders provided the   
   names of the alleged culprits less than two days after the atrocity   
   happened.   
      
   Few pondered the inconsistency. Top government officials said they didn't   
   know it could happen. But they knew the names of those who did it.   
      
   Those who did notice this flaw began digging deeper. But the vast   
   majority applauded when we started bombing other countries in a quest to   
   annihilate the purported perps. Those digging deeper also noticed that   
   the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq had been planned long before 9/11   
   happened, and tried to tell people, but were mostly shouted down amid   
   cries of "treason!" That didn't stop those digging deeper from digging   
   even deeper, because they were on the trail of real treason. And they   
   certainly noticed when Pakistan offered to turn over Osama bin Laden for   
   trial in a neutral country that America declined the offer.   
      
   Yet even as it became clear that the reasons for American mass murder   
   from high in the sky were shameless lies, the American people clung to   
   their grief, their outrage, and their bloodthirsty craving for   
   retribution, so they really didn't give it a second thought that they   
   were sending their sons and daughters to die in a senseless effort to get   
   satisfaction by killing thousands of people who had absolutely nothing to   
   do with the crime that had enraged them in the first place.   
      
   And damned few made the logical connection that if our leaders lied about   
   the reasons for invading Afghanistan and Iraq, it was highly unlikely   
   that they were telling the truth about 9/11.   
      
   But the war machine marched on to the media's hydrophobic applause,   
   people kept waving their flags, and innocents are still dying, every day,   
   because of it.   
      
   The early resistance to the 9/11 coverup was led in America by Mike   
   Ruppert, who quickly pointed out that timely bets that certain airlines   
   stock would plummet revealed a foreknowledge of the tragedy that could   
   reveal who the true perpetators of this colossal crime actually were. And   
   the work of Jared Israel revealed the bungling of America's defenses in   
   such meticulous detail that many people began to realize the attacks   
   could have prevented by even a modicum of military competence on that   
   fateful day.   
      
   Still, most flag-waving Americans refused to notice that the people in   
   charge during the nation's greatest failure of its military defenses were   
   promoted instead of being censured or fired, never mind being put on   
   trial.   
      
   As time passed and sorrow began to heal into sadness, other researchers   
   came forth with penetrating questions casting doubt on the government's   
   version of events. German researcher Eric Hufschmid focused on why the   
   government prevented a forensic examination of WTC rubble - an   
   unbelievable and inexcusable dereliction of public responsibility,   
   especially considering that in the case of aircraft disasters the   
   government puts even the tiniest detail under the microscope to find out   
   what actually happened.   
      
   Then former German defense minister Andreas von Buelow and British   
   politician Michael Meacher made startling public declarations that they   
   believed the American government had to be involved in order for such a   
   complex operation to have been carried out.   
      
   The French researcher Thierry Meyssan first pointed out that the hole in   
   the Pentagon could have in no way been caused by a giant jet airliner,   
   and this argument was taken to much deeper levels by dogged researchers
