Recently by Scott Lazarowitz: Obama Will Win, Thanks to the Clueless Banana Republicans

Thanks to anti-liberty militarists such as Lt. Col. Oliver North, a former employee of the White House basement, and socialist neocons such as George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Irving Kristol (and don't forget Junior Kristol), America is now a police state.

And increasingly, those who criticize the government and its imbecilic bureaucrats and police goons are being made victims of an out-of-control Leviathan tyranny run amok.

During the Reagan years, Oliver North and his fellow police staters equated political dissent with treason. But it is really our current government bureaucrats who commit acts of treason with their militant suppression of dissent.

That is in addition to their starting wars of aggression that have done nothing but provoke foreigners to act against us.

Former Marine Brandon Raub was criminally abducted by federal Secret Service and local police authorities and detained illegally without charge in a psychiatric hospital, because some people didn't like his questioning the official government theories of 9/11.

Brandon Raub's lawyer, John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute has stated that there are others who have been criminally abducted and detained because of their views. As witnessed in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, North Korea and China, when Leviathan grows and its minions' power and control grow, tolerance of dissent diminishes.

America's descent had begun long ago, but in more recent years it descends at a more rapid pace. That is what our giving authority and power to central planning bureaucrats gives us.

Washington's Blog details how others besides Raub have also been seized and taken to psychiatric wards for expressing doubts of government claims. And there Washington also writes about mental health professionals who assert that questioning the government's explanations for 9/11 is the sane thing to do.

Check out Brandon Raub's Facebook post of November 11, 2011, given to CBS 6 in Richmond, Virginia. Such words obviously do not pose any threat to others, but we can see how much closer Brandon Raub is to Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry than most of our current government bureaucrats are! That essay also includes assertions about the government's alleged involvement in 9/11.

But in the USSA, you can't say those things here.

As Washington's Blog also noted, the U.S. government planned indefinite detention of citizens long before 9/11. Thanks, Oliver North.

But here is some information on 9/11. For example, over 1,700 architects and engineers support the assertions made by the group Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, that the World Trade center towers and Building 7 were brought down by explosives, not by planes or fires. Here is the group's evidence page. Specifically, here is a collection of videos with these scientists' explanations. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, by the way, does not blame any particular individual or group for involvement in 9/11.

And here, Paul Craig Roberts asks if the critics of the 9/11 truth movement have a case.

(Hmmm. I wonder what enabled a friend to warn comedian and activist Dick Gregory to cancel a trip to New York just before 9/11? And why did certain Pentagon officials also cancel trips at the same time? Why was San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown also warned to cancel a flight to New York the day before the attacks? Just wondering.)

A lot of people believe that Americans were just here innocently minding our own business when we were suddenly attacked by a group of Muslim terrorists on 9/11, because they "hate us for our freedom and values." Part of that is true. Most of us Americans were sitting here innocently minding our own business.

But our government bureaucrats — in their zeal to expand the U.S. government's grasp overseas, especially since 1990 — were intentionally provoking those people on foreign lands, particularly in the Middle East and Asia.

Speaking of warnings, even Ron Paul gave us warnings throughout the 1990s of possible terrorist attacks on American soil, because he was one of the few people in Washington to understand what the effects of an aggressively interventionist U.S. foreign policy would be. (But more recently, his wise advocacy of the Golden Rule in foreign policy gets booed by modern day worshipers of our national security central planning bureaucrats.)

And also, for further investigation on what actually led to 9/11, Eric Margolis and James Bovard have more on what might have motivated the terrorists to commit such terrorist acts.

Finally, independent journalist James Corbett produced this video that questions the official 9/11 explanation in less than 5 minutes. It is quite thorough.

Here is Corbett's transcript of that video that includes many, many helpful links. Take a look, if you have an open mind, that is.

It is indeed unfortunate that the government is targeting military vets now, and government criminals (sorry for the redundancy) will probably escalate their criminality against honest skeptics that will probably include non-military people. But jeepers, I hope I don't get criminally abducted and illegally detained by government goons, simply for providing readers here with some links to honest information that questions the government's official 9/11 conspiracies. But then, I've never been a member of the military. (It's against my religion — I'm a devout coward.)
