In light of Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recent remarks that 9/11 was a staged event, and a pretext for the war on terror, I decided to repost something I wrote last year. Although Ahmadinejad is not the most ideal public figure to be raising such important questions, his courageous stance against the official 9/11 story is respectable. Also, it makes sense for the President of Iran to make such fatal statements about the US government since both America and Israel are presently breathing down the neck of Iran, while pulling off an international propaganda campaign to make it look like the US empire and the Israeli government are the great victims. Many people in America currently believe that Iran is the big bad villain in this historical drama. But that is not true. Let's not forget who invaded Iraq in 2003. And Afghanistan in 2001. And let's not forget what started this whole damn war on terror: 9/11. Until sufficient answers about the destruction of building 7, as well as other eye-popping questions, are given by the US government, the real suspects of the 9/11 attacks remain up in the air.

The Tragedy and Gift of 9/11
The events of 9/11 opened a gateway to a whole different political realty. The shadow government's influence over America, attained through infiltration in the top echelons of power, was shown clearly on that day. Many still buy the corporate-state's version of what happened on 9/11, but it takes time for public knowledge to build and with the advent of the internet the fighters for truth have an ally. 9/11 truth may lead to an unraveling of humankind's true destiny. Ordinary men and women are on a personal journey to find out their inherent nature and in the process they are unearthing knowledge that has been kept secret for a very long time.
The unforgivable deed carried out by corrupt forces of the American empire may in retrospect be seen in a more hopeful light. What happened on 9/11 has changed the face of America forever, but what that face looks like is not totally realized yet. Once the full truth is out, people's admiration for governments will being to wither and they will seek to change society through spontaneous social action rather than relying on contrived state planning. The prestige of the state will dimmer and be in the same league as the church. The church is no longer perceived as a holy place, but a place of child molestation, fraud, and cheap lies. This is not blatant state-bashing, I do believe there is a role for government but the people must write the script and serve as the directors.
I don't know how long the process may take, but that it is a process is certain so we can't expect a switch of the light bulb and suddenly the evolution of the species takes place. But evolution is taking place, I'm sure of it. People's understanding of government's inherent corruption is growing, their knowledge of banks and the importance of monetary policy is also approaching a critical mass, and most precious of all, the awareness of themselves as being part of a larger natural picture is expanding. Selfishness is no longer 'in', co-dependency is more acceptable. 9/11 has opened people's eyes and that was its gift. The tragedy is that a tremendous amount of innocent lives have been lost, both in America and in the Middle East. Let us fight for the truth so that they did not die in vain. As Samuel Johnson wrote, "If we owe regard to the memory of the dead, there is yet more respect to be paid to knowledge, to virtue, and to truth."
