Outside of a bit of hyperbole, "Anyone who dares to tell the truth about this government is destroyed.", isn't that far off the mark. Pick a few articles at random on Sibel Edmonds to get an idea of what Ray is talking about:

If you pay any attention to the news at all, you already know about Wilson and the effort that went into blowing his wife's CIA cover.
Unless you pay attention to alternative news sources, you probably don't know about the UL employee who wrote a scathing letter to NIST on the WTC investigation, and who was fired as a result.
There are plenty of examples of whistle blowers, who later issued the most humble retractions imaginable.
There are something like 800 persons being held by the US in Cuba. Maybe they're bad people, and maybe they aren't. Since we haven't heard their side of the story, we may never know. The two persons who attempted to get information about what's going on there out, were arrested and never heard from again.
You can go back to the Vietnam era to find examples of protesters who were murdered by our government.
You can go farther back in history to find that anyone with first hand knowledge of the JFK assassination died violently shortly after. 1 or 2 might be a coincidence, but close to 50 of them?
Or go back a little farther to the McCarthy era.
If there has ever been a time in America when the truth was not being held hostage, I can guarantee you no one alive today can remember such a time from their own personal knowledge. As long as it's something that happens to someone else, most folks are willing to ignore the atrocities committed by our government against its own people. The sad fact of the matter is most people don't have the necessary courage to face truth in large doses, the wisdom to recognize the truth when they see it, or the moral character to put themselves in the other guy's shoes and say, "This is wrong.".
Take some time to do a little reading on Sibel Edmonds story. It's an interesting story in its own right, even if you don't look at anything else related to 9/11. Once you have a little background information under your belt, ask yourself what would happen to Ms. Edmonds were she to tell the truth about what she knows. |
