Secrets!


Hey everyone, it's time to tell you all about the crazy things I believe
that you might call "conspiracy theories." First, I'd like to point you to this article.

Now, that was pretty good for my case, wasn't it? Well, you don't even now what
my case is. Anyway, the idea is that there are a lot of secrets that are very important
that are being kept from people, on purpose, by those in power. They control the
media, and thus the information we receive about the world. Some of the secrets that
first article talked about, in case you didn't read it:

- they planned the Iraq war before 9/11 ever happened.
- the savings and loans crisis of the 80s was super bad and caused by corruption
and plutocratic deregulation! 7 out of 8 major banks failed, and the response
of both parties was to sweep it under the rug.
- torturing, spying... the government said for a long time it just didn't do these things,
but it started spying on us as soon as Bush took power, again- before 9/11!

Guys, something is waaay fishy and we all act way too normally. We KNOW that our government
started spying on us and torturing people before 9/11, the big scary terrorist attack which supposedly justified all these policies, ever happened.

Meanwhile, the infrastructure of the economy is under direct attack! Do not believe that we are coming out of this recession for a minute. Look at the map at the top: the US and Western Europe are the MOST IN DEBT of any set of countries on earth, by far. China is the big creditor, and they basically own us and could destroy us economically at any time. That's pretty common knowledge. Since China's owns a lot of our debt, they can really mess us up by collecting it whenever they want. If they do, then we will be screwed because we don't have the money. Our current strategy for dealing with this problem is just to make more money, which is a strategy you can read a bit about over here.

Government secrets have always been around, but they started getting serious with the manhattan project. This was the first multi-million dollar campaign that was totally secret. Later, in 1947 the national security act was passed which created the CIA, the NSC (National Security Counsel), and also consolidated the military into one entity, the department of defense (up until it had been called the department of war). Read all about it here.

Since then, there have been secret budgets that are a matter of national security. No one knows how much money the CIA gets, or what they spend it on, except for the times when one of their coups or something becomes public. No oversight, no democracy, just secret acts of war. But it's not even as bad as we don't know where the money goes.... NO ONE knows where the money goes.

Check this out. It's about Donald Rumsfeld coming out of september 10, 2001 and saying hey guys, we have no idea what happened to 2.3 trillion dollars in one year. This is crazy, it's corruption, it's incompetence- why do they have so much power if they're such idiots? The military has no idea what it does with a quarter of its money. This is a huge secret!!! This is a HUGE DEAL!!! This is among the most important things happening in the world, since it's the most complex set of human relationships that exists anywhere, with the most coordination and the most advanced technology, and we have no idea what they're doing.

  1. I agree that the Iraq war II was planned before 9/11. That was just a manifestly false excuse. It's incredible that so many people still haven't made that connection, after the WMD fiasco, also manifestly false BEFORE the invasion. Bush fils thought that pere made mistakes in following an international consensus in Iraq I, and wasn't about to let niceties like that, or the truth, stop him. His insecurities come into this family dynamic (cowardice, addiction, sibling rivalry), and also human insecurity in general, the way anger and fear (after 9/11, but it's only an example, really), can be used to manipulate people horribly.
