WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE

As Spiritualists we believe that there exists a divine force for good that we term God. This power, this omnipotent source of light and truth in this world and the next is with us when we do what we believe to be good and we may express this belief by saying that God is on our side. It was the French poet and soldier Comte de Bussy-Rabutin who said ‘God is usually on the side of the big squadrons’ meaning that might is right. In the year 2003 our Government alongside the USA ordered our troops to invade Iraq with predictable results, we marched in and blew the place, along with tens of thousands of Iraqi people, to bits. In that attack on a sovereign nation do you for one single moment believe God was on our side ensuring that we succeeded? Or was it just a matter of our massive firepower overwhelming the limited opposition? Do you remember the name given to the initial assault on Baghdad: ‘Shock and Awe’, a horrible euphemism for dropping bombs and firing missiles at homes occupied by innocent men, women and children.

We now know that our Government and the Government of the USA deliberately lied to us as to why Iraq had to be invaded. Hitler once said ‘The broad mass of a nation will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one’. Our Government proved his theory right. Think back to 2003 and the tabloid headlines showing images of Saddam Hussain alongside nuclear warheads with lists of the kind of weapons he was supposed to have. The UN did not believe it. Dr. David Kelly the now deceased head of the UN Inspectorate in Iraq did not believe it. (They found him dead in a wood where this highly intelligent biologist supposedly committed suicide). But our Government stated they did, despite the resignation of the then Foreign Secretary Robin Cook who said that he knew that Iraq could not have WMD and that any invasion would be unlawful. The Attorney General’s written advice to the Government was changed, without explanation, to justify the attack. We all now know that there were no WMD. What we also now know is that God was not on our side in this evil and unnecessary war, but the big squadrons were. We used them to kill innocent Iraqi people so that the USA and the UK could control the oil reserves. If your Government lies to you, uses your hard earned tax money and your children in uniform to commit what is effectively murder, then you do nothing, say nothing and simply swallow the lie then you are either a fool or complicit in the wickedness.

It is however no simple task to act against the forces of darkness, the liars and the smug, smiling politicians as they now have a vast armoury of weapons that they use to stop us. The first weapon they use is apathy. They know that places like Iraq and Afghanistan etc. are thousands of miles away and we, the ordinary people of the UK, may believe that we do not have a great deal in common with the populations there. In fact we do. They are human beings, they believe in God, their God, they want to live in a country free from oppression and raise children, just as we do. We should awaken to the fact that when we hear of Iraqis being killed we are hearing of fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, babies and old people dying because of the actions of our Government. What the Government terms insurgents are, in fact, freedom fighters who do not want the country of their birth, their home, to be occupied by armed forces that talk of liberty and impose military rule. How would we react if a foreign nation bombed London and invaded the UK with hundreds of thousands of armed troops? When Germany attempted this some sixty or so years ago we fought back. Were we insurgents? Were the members of our Home Guard insurgents?

A second weapon that the Government use to make us accept the commission of atrocities is indoctrination by propaganda. Seeing a senior member of our elected Government stating that is in the interests of the people of Iraq or Afghanistan that we occupy these nations is a powerful message. Is it not reasonable to believe that our leaders are people of good character and intent who would only act in our best interests and in the name of the greater good with God on their side? Of course we want to believe what we are told. We are programmed from an early age to accept the voice of authority. We may think that the Government know best, we trust them, what they say about the evil nature of The Taliban and Al-Quada must be true, mustn’t it? Why would our elected Government lie to us? Yet if you look at what we have previously been told about Iraq and Afghanistan then compare it to the facts we can see that we have been deceived. Is God now on the side of liars? Did God want the supply of cocaine from Afghanistan to increase by 700% to supply the UK and USA with drugs because that is exactly what has happened since Afghanistan was invaded?

The Voice Of Authority: Dr. Joseph Goebbels of the Reich Ministry for People's Enlightenment and Propaganda. "Tell a Big Lie"

A third weapon used by the Government to make us accept virtually anything they tell us is control of the media. Switch onto a mainstream television channel any night of the week around 7pm and you are likely to see some soap-opera like Emmerdale, Eastenders, Coronation Street etc. These programmes may appear to be harmless entertainment but they actually act to control the public by reducing the level of thought to extremely low levels so that, like Pavlov’s dogs, the people sit and stare at an electrically generated image for hours on end thinking nothing but drivel such as how two imaginary characters called Ken and Deidrie will progress in their second marriage. Also consider the new wave of so-called reality TV programmes showing things like house-makeovers. These numb the mind of the viewer and produce the kind of inertia and apathy that make people malleable and unquestioning. Believe this or not, in Iraq today the new TV stations broadcasting to the Iraqi people are showing virtual carbon copy programmes with how to make over a house damaged by bombs etc. There are now Iraqi soap-operas about Baghdad streets where Rashi and Mustapha are getting married and it is all about mind control via the media.

We are sentient beings, we should think for ourselves and we must know that God is not on our side when we cause unnecessary death and destruction. You may consider that you are not responsible, but in a way we all are. As long as we allow our Government to tell us bare faced lies and we do nothing about it we are a party to the act itself. As Spiritualists do we not believe that we have a duty to our fellow human beings? I believe we do and with God on my side I will not permit my vote to support a gang of liars who willfully commit murder.

If you have ever wondered if the USA Government have told the truth about the horror of 9/11 and the destruction of the three towers of The World Trade Centre then watch these three videos:

Also watch this video which is an expose of the False Flag operation that was 9/11.

I guarantee that these videos will open your eyes to what looks to me to be an incredible and disgusting truth. If you are not horrified by the implications of what is disclosed and implied within those videos then you are simply not engaging your mind. Go to Amazon.com and buy this book:

If having read that you are still content with the idea that 19 amateurs, armed only with box cutters, hijacked four USA planes and flew them unaided into the twin towers and the Pentagon then God bless you and the tooth fairy.

Why "NOT" to Fight for 9/11 Truth

Bill Douglas / Op Ed News | September 19 2006

Why "NOT" to Fight for 9/11 Truth

"Propaganda is not meant to fool the intelligencia
. . . but to provide them an excuse."
-- Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propagandist

Early on when it became apparent to me that the official 9/11 story was a massive deception, it became urgent to tell others and spread this information wide and far. Having been a peace & justice activist my whole life, naturally I ran to the peace movement.

I discovered two things quickly. 1) Many people in the peace movement shared my concerns about "problems" with the official 9/11 story, however, 2) Much of the top leadership in the peace movement accepted the official story of 9/11, and refused to consider troubling evidence to the contrary.

One woman who was a major peace group leader, who's name I won't mention, said that she wouldn't search for 9/11 truth because "she didn't like the people in the 9/11 truth movement."

So, I decided to make a list of all the reasons I've heard for the "left" or "peace & justice" communities to avoid looking at the hard facts regarding 9/11.

1) Conspiracy theories are crazy talk
2) 9/11 Truth movement is an anti-Semitic movement
3) 9/11 Truth people are pushy and rude
4) 9/11 Truth people need therapy
5) If 9/11 facts were a problem, there'd be tons of "experts" complaining
6) If 9/11 facts had problems the free American media would be all over it
7) US govt. officials wouldn't attack their own people

Joseph Goebbels saw clearly that people would grasp at excuses when the truth was too ugly to face. Fact is that no one has to join a "movement" to fight for the truth about 9/11, one only needs to stop pretending that the official story makes sense. Then your natural human curiosity will begin to do what it does best, ask questions, and search for answers based on common sense and science, rather than propaganda.

Let's examine these "reasons" not to fight for 9/11 truth one at a time.

- Conspiracy theories are crazy talk:

The official 9/11 story put out by the Bush Administration that 19 ragtag Moslem's fooled the largest intelligence and military force in history, and brought down the first three steel reinforced skyscrapers in engineering history defying the laws of science, and doing so with four commercial jet liners flying over the most protected airspace in the world for one and a half hours with not one USAF fighter interceptor arriving until too late . . . IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY. It is the Bush Administration's "official conspiracy theory," but a "conspiracy theory" nonetheless. One only needs to examine facts to see if it stands up to the light of day.

- 9/11 Truth movement is an anti-Semitic movement:

False. The overwhelming majority of 9/11 truth seekers are normal Americans, some from peace & justice backgrounds, many professionals, etc. There are however a broad cross-section of people fighting for 9/11 truth. Anti-Semites have been given particular attention by the media, and the charge has been used again and again by de-bunkers of 9/11 skeptics, as a smear tactic to get people to turn off their logic and react based on the false suggestion that anti-Semitism equals 9/11 truth. They have nothing to do with one another. The truth about 9/11 is a physics question. There is nothing political or philosophical about it.

However, the facts do point to the reality that there is something "criminal" about what happened on 9/11, and the facts point to people at the highest levels of the US govt.

- 9/11 Truth people are pushy and rude:

Those of us who began examining the facts of 9/11 early on, were under tremendous pressure from our friends, family, and others to stop being so "odd."

Some of us experienced outright threats in many forms. We were attacked by media, govt., and even friends for our positions. I personally was threatened, and also sent to jail and questioned by the Secret Service, and then attacked by local media.

This made my fear meter go high, and my temper go short, when I would try to explain facts to friends in the peace movement, and beg for their support, as I fought for 9/11 truth . . . only to see them turn their backs and walk away. However, my temperament, or the temperament of others seeking 9/11 truth has nothing to do with . . . "is the official story a lie?" This question is one of physics and forensics.

- 9/11 Truth people need therapy:

Lately I've noticed that everyone from Popular Mechanics to Time Magazine is suddenly a psycho-therapist now, explaining the mental condition of those who question the official 9/11 stories obvious and massive deficiencies. This harkens back to the old Soviet Union media, who explained away inconvenient truths by sadly suggesting those making the claims had "conditions."

Time or PM will go for the weakest chink in the armor of the problems facing the official 9/11 story, and then pick at it, distort the questions, and smear the questioners as akin to "holocaust deniers," etc. This is no joke. I actually saw an editor from Popular Mechanics Magazine slickly try to put two young documentary producers of "Loose Change" in the same camp as "holocaust deniers."

And like magicians wielding slight of hand, the Popular Mechanics editors, avoided discussing how WTC janitor and national hero, Willie Rodriguez, testified of hearing a massive explosion in the "basement" of the WTC Tower, "BEFORE" hearing the plane strike above. Popular Mechanics using their precious air time on Democracy Now, not to deal with facts and physics, but rather smearing the "mental state" of the documentary producers, and others who would question the untenable "facts" of the official 9/11 conspiracy the Bush Admin has fed us.

- If 9/11 facts were a problem, there'd be tons of "experts" complaining:

In the past Kevin Ryan of Underwriter Laboratories stepped forward to point out that UL testimony to NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology) regarding the ability of jet fuel fire to melt steel was inaccurate. Kevin Ryan was fired from UL shortly thereafter.

Recently Brigham Young University put Professor Stephen Jones, co-founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth on paid leave while they decide whether to release him from his 20 years of teaching service to the University. Not long ago two other university teachers' jobs were threatened by Republican (and Democratic) politicians who tried to bully universities into firing teachers questioning the official 9/11 story.

A US Army officer who recently publicly stated his belief that 9/11 was an inside job was charged with "Un-American" activities. The list of persecution for professionals coming forward and stating the obvious, that the events of 9/11 look increasingly like an inside job meant to fool us into illegal wars and grabs for global energy and dominance . . . is long. So, to state that the official 9/11 story must be true, because no experts are stepping forward to challenge it . . . is beyond naiveté.

- If 9/11 facts had problems the free American media would be all over it:

Within months of 9/11/2001, I was becoming aware of disturbing issues around 9/11 and problems with the official story. A major American newspaper was one of the first media to engage the story, and it did so by taking a swipe at 9/11 truth seekers, but inside the article placed important 9/11 related facts and challenges to the official 9/11 story.

I called the reporter, who'd placed my email address in the article for those who wanted more information. Immediately he apologized for the format of the article, and said that that was the only way he could get it past his editor and into the paper. As we spoke more, he informed me of journalists he knew who'd already lost their job for looking into the flaws of the official 9/11 story.

You might say, "Well if this were happening, I'd have heard about it." Really? How will you hear about it if reporters know that if they report on it, their career will be over? This has improved some, as many reporters have reported on the flaws in the official 9/11 story, or covered the 9/11 truth seeking public.

However, if any reporter continued to focus on this story relentlessly, as they should given how much depends on this, they would no doubt face problems for their career. At this point, they can touch on it, but then must let it go and move on to "celebrity news," etc.

- US govt. officials wouldn't attack their own people:

Google "Operation Northwoods," and this myth will be put to rest.

It has amazed me that people I've known for years in the peace & justice movement, people who've known that the US govt. supported, facilitated, and often "orchestrated," the activities of barbarians in developing nations who slaughtered their people indiscriminately, think that Americans are somehow immune from the monster our covert ops foreign policy has unleashed on the world.

This is so naïve. Our US covert operations have trained Nicaraguans how to murder their local mayors, and commit terrorist acts in their communities. It has trained and supplied Salvadoran troops to slaughter their own people, even using illegal weapons. It has overthrown democracies in Chile, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Iran, etc. and replaced them with dictators who killed their own people in wholesale fashion. It killed over 2 million in South East Asia based on a "false flag" operation called "the Gulf of Tonkin" incident.

But, these same wide awake peace and justice activists, seasoned activists who've seen the brutality over the years . . . think that this pit bull we've created is unable to "infiltrate media," or "execute coups" within the "magical borders" of America. I'm sorry folks but God isn't protecting the special people of America from the monster our foreign policy has created over the years. We are experiencing with the false flag self inflicted attacks of 9/11, and resultant illegal wars and rollback of civil liberties, exactly what 3rd world nations have felt when our CIA or other covert operations destroyed their democracies in the name of war, power, and profit.

It is time for all patriotic Americans to fight for 9/11 truth. There is no "club," and no "membership card." The fact that the official 9/11 story is an obvious lie, and the emerging facts point to complicity at the highest levels of our government . . . is not a political movement. It is physics and probability, and testimony.

There is no excuse for failing to face the facts. Our entire democracy depends on Americans facing the facts. The peace of the world depends on Americans facing the facts.

It is time to put away the things of children, and open our eyes and become adults. The world cannot survive the massive military might of America, being wielded by childish citizens unable to look with open eyes at hard truths about what has become of our nation.
