Re: So, this 9/11 "movement" is actually, for me, like being in a kind of club with other strange people. Makes me feel at home. And, frankly, I don't expect anything to happen other than an "endless parade of paper tigers". How could I, realistically? Indeed, how could you, SAFELY? Mr Earl and his fellow cynics overlook the fact that, according to 9/11 conspiracy "nuts"' own theory, we are actually dealing with a Judeofascist cabal that didn't flinch from wiping out 3,000 innocent Americans just to pull off its Zionist/pro-Israel agenda... Likewise, the same cabal has proved as expedient in the swift elimination of individuals who might pose a threat --just remember Barbara Olson, FBI agent Robert Hanssen, or even the much publicized shooting "accident" by Dick Cheney.... All of which add up to a warning of sorts to would-be whistleblowers, doesn't it? Hence the old saying, "Those who don't know talk and those who know don't talk". Gus

RE: "most of the American people are either asleep or apparently agree with what's going on" IMO, it goes a bit deeper than that. We start school at age 5, and for the following 13 years are taught that the United States is a free country, with a free press, and that elected representatives represent the citizens of the country. I much doubt things are significantly different in any other country. The practice of teaching children that their particular culture, clan, tribe or nation is the best of the best is pretty much standard fare throughout the world. The atrocities are glossed over, or eliminated altogether, and everything else is slanted into a picture of a perfect society. The effect is then enhanced with the notion of loyalty to one's clan or tribe, with the ultimate threat being to be cast out of one's culture. The unwritten rule is that nonconformity is the ultimate crime. With that as a starting point, the addition of an utterly corrupt media, with the most sophisticated technology ever developed to influence mainstream views, the ability to form uncorrupted opinions of the real world ceases to exist. That eating fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, is considered to be the original sin, is hardly an American invention.
