How to Reverse the Tide September 11 has been used profusely by the Bush administration as a justification for waging a preemptive war without borders. It is part of the Administration’s doctrine of "self-defense". But that justification is based on a lie: that America is under attack by an outside enemy. The so-called "War on Terrorism" is a lie. Realities have been turned upside down. Acts of war are heralded as "humanitarian interventions" geared towards restoring democracy. Military occupation and the killing of civilians are presented as "peace-keeping operations." The derogation of civil liberties by imposing the so-called anti-terrorist legislation is portrayed as a means to providing domestic security and upholding civil liberties. This system relies on the manipulation of public opinion. The fabricated realities of the Bush administration must become indelible truths, which form part of a broad political and media consensus. In this regard, the corporate media is an instrument of a de facto police state, which has carefully excluded, from the outset, any real understanding of the September 11 crisis. Millions of people have been misled regarding the causes and consequences of September 11. When people across the US and around the World find out that Al Qaeda is not an outside enemy but a creation of US foreign policy and the CIA, the legitimacy of the Bush Administration will tumble like a deck of cards. In other words, when the lies emanating from the seat of political authority are fully revealed, the perceived enemy will no longer be Al Qaeda but Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Powell, et al. Bear in mind that the Democrats are also complicit. Democratic administrations have also supported Al Qaeda. This relationship of successive US Administrations to international terrorism, which is a matter of public record, indelibly points to the criminalization of the upper echelons of US State apparatus. Let's use this information to dismantle the Bush Administration's war plans. Sensitize our fellow citizens. Expose the "dubious links." Because when the truth trickles down, the leaders' war and homeland security plans will not have a shred of legitimacy in the eyes of millions of Americans who believe that Al Qaeda is "A Threat to America" and that their president is committed to their security. At this crucial juncture in our history, we must understand that antiwar sentiment in itself does not undermine the war agenda. The only way to reverse the tide is to unseat the rulers, who are war criminals. And the way to unseat the rulers is to break their legitimacy in the eyes of the people. In other words, it is necessary to fully reveal the lies concerning the so-called "war on terrorism" to our fellow citizens, which were used to justify the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and impose the police State in the US A precondition for breaking the legitimacy of the Bush Administration is to fully reveal its links to international terrorism and its complicity in the tragic event of 9/11. This objective can only be achieved by effectively curbing its propaganda campaign and spreading the truth through a grassroots citizen's information campaign.
