The date was September 11th, as President Bush stood before a joint session of Congress, and, by television, the nation. A fresh wind of patriotism had swept from sea to shining sea, as the Bush administration had begun a military operation against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. As he spoke, the President's comments were repeatedly interrupted by applause from both sides of the political aisle.
"If there ever was a time to put country before self and patriotism before party, the time is now ... We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective, a new world order, can emerge: a new era — freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice, and more secure in the quest for peace. An era in which the nations of the world, East and West, North and South, can prosper and live in harmony. A hundred generations have searched for this elusive path to peace, while a thousand wars raged across the span of human endeavor. Today that new world is struggling to be born, a world quite different from the one we've known. A world where the rule of law supplants the rule of the jungle. A world in which nations recognize the shared responsibility for freedom and justice. A world where the strong respect the rights of the weak. This is the vision that I shared with President Gorbachev in Helsinki. He and other leaders from Europe, the Gulf, and around the world understand that how we manage this crisis today could shape the future for generations to come."
Yes, the date was September 11, 1990. And the President was George Herbert Walker Bush, the 41st President of the United States. The crisis of which he spoke, was the first Gulf War.
The opportunity that he so eagarly hoped to seize, was the progress in building a "new world order." It was a socialist utopia, whereby individual liberties — "the law of the jungle" — are supplanted by "the rule of law" — or in other words, a communist police state.
It is the undying dream of every socialist throughout the history of mankind since Karl Marx and Frederich Engels. A society where "freedom" and "liberty" mean the freedom and liberty to do as your government tells you, without question or dissention of any kind. A world where participation in the governmental process is at the behest of those in power. And individual liberties — that is, real liberties — are dissolved in favor of a "secure" nanny state. That is, secure until the protector becomes the aggressor. Indeed, it is as Bush said, "a world quite different from the one we've known."
Is it any wonder why former Soviet leader, communist Mikhail Gorbachev, shared Bush's utopian ideas?
And as Bush spoke, the plans were already being drawn for a second Iraqi invasion. A second and final war, that would put the final pieces of the plan in place.
As the twin towers of the World Trade Center collapsed, eleven years later to the day, the arrival of yet another "opportunity" would emerge. It would be another era, another Bush administration, another Arab demon state, a myriad of Mohammads, and another undeclared war.
This time, it was British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, who spoke of how marvelous an "opportunity" that the attack had presented.
In an October 2, 2001 speech that The Guardian called "the most powerful speech of his career," Blair expounded upon his desire to use the corpses of the victims, as an opportunity to "reorder" the world, and build a world "community."
"This is a moment to seize. The kaleidoscope has been shaken, the pieces are in flux, soon they will settle again. Before they do let us reorder this world around us and use modern science to provide prosperity for all ... Science can't make that choice for us, only the moral power of a world acting as a community can."
Prosperity for all! A chicken in every pot! Thus, are the rallying cries of the socialists, to sell their plan to the naive and uneducated masses. It is the age-old promise of those in power, that if you will only allow them to direct your lives, they will provide prosperity for everyone. Everyone will be rich! And everything will be fair. It is the clarion call of every modern politician when they tell you that a tax cut wouldn't be "fair" because it might benefit one class more than another.
Nevermind the fact, that this form of government has failed to deliver on the promise of prosperity in every country in which it has ever been tried. These socialists now seek to attempt it on a world-wide scale.
In 1997, then Defense Secretary, William Cohen, hinted at what the overall plan would entail.
In a September 10th interview with the military publication, Times of the Ark-LA-Tex, Cohen said:
"Terrorism is escalating to the point that Americans soon may have to choose between civil liberties and more intrusive means of protection."
He went on to describe an America that would include armored vehicles surrounding civilian hotels or government buildings. And the Posse Comitatus laws — which prevent the government from using the military in domestic law-enforcement roles — would be revoked. Mr. Cohen was describing the agenda for the Office of Homeland Security, Total Information Awareness, and the U.S.A. Patriot Act (pdf format) — key elements of the effort to establish an Orwellian communist police state in America.
Two years later, in 1999, the Justice Department published a booklet on Terrorism, which depicted the twin towers of the World Trade Center with a bulls-eye target over them.
The agenda to move America into a police state, would be to create an atmosphere of fear in America, caused by a catastrophic act of terrorism. Then, when the public mindset was properly conditioned with the fertilizer of fear, the idea would be planted in their heads that their liberty would have to be forfeited in favor of their security.
This agenda was covertly referenced by Henry Kissinger in a Bilderberg Conference in Evians, France in 1991. According to one of the Swiss delegates, Kissinger stated:
“Today, Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow, they will be grateful. This is especially true, if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond — whether real or promulgated — that threatened our very existence. It is then that all the peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing that every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished with the guarantee of their well-being, granted to them by their world government.”
And once the world government is in place, so will be fulfilled their communist dream of a utopian world order. America will have ceased to exist, as will the sovereignty of every nation-state. And that, my friends, is the real reason for September 11th, and the "War on Terror."
Lest we fall prey to the logic that most certainly the powerful wish for us to adopt, let us remember the words of Benjamin Franklin.
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Or Patrick Henry...
"Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God, I know not what course others may take, but give me liberty or give me death!"
The Founding Fathers knew the value of liberty. If they were alive today, they might ask, How valuable is your liberty to you?
