Whenever something in the official narrative of the past becomes a sacred cow, you know there’s a lie hidden in plain sight.
To paraphrase Winston Churchill, history is propaganda, wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in an enigma.
The enigma of what happened on 9-11 has been deconstructed all over the web, by dozens of intrepid researchers whose combined efforts, red herrings and all, document a coup-d’etat conducted by a network of spymasters, political leaders, bureaucrats, and ideologues, with the backing of powerful moneyed groups, in the services of a quasi-religious global order.

To admit this is to admit that the present order rests on lies, issues from lies, and is justified only by further lies.
To admit that is to admit that “blow-back” as an explanation of the push-back from other countries is the impetus for further expansion, disguised as reaction.
This is the point that Zahir Ebrahim has been relentless in stressing, as in his latest piece at Salem-News.com (posted in the comments section of my post on Irving), which I reproduce in part here:
Zahir Ebrahim, at Salem-News.com, writes:
“In our generation, it is the pious sanctification of the 9/11 who dunnit narrative now in brazen progress…..”
“9-11,” he argues, is undergoing the same process of sanctification as the holocaust once did, so that what follows – WW2, in the case of the holocaust, and WW3 (or 4) in the case of 9-11 – will remain unchallenged.
The benefit of that to maintaining support for the American state’s ongoing war-making is clear for everyone to see. It makes the empire virtuous and just in its aggression, never merely aggressive, expansionist or totalitarian, as it obviously is.
(See: “Washington’s Outrageous Ukraine Double-Standards,” Daniel McAdams).
“Flushed with unassailable hubris on being on the side of empire in its core Big Lies, the murderers today, their aiders and abettors, assistant stooges and dupes, whether engineering consent or dissent, all well understand that: “All murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.”
Since all ideas are relative as already boldly proclaimed by the highest court in the reigning sole superpower, but which is of course also always true in practice (with or without declaration) for every king in every kingdom, they each understand that no one can even plausibly hang them for their measure of participating in propaganda and war crimes by echoing the Big Lie alongside the emperor. They know that today, there is no power greater than the emperor’s to pursue them even in some wishful victor’s justice. Secure in that knowledge, it is safe to be a propagandist of any flavor on any side of the coin – take whichever position you like based on your psychological disposition, natural talent, skill, and egotistical gratification.
See this open letter to their most prominent and respected leader – Goebbells’ direct counterpart Machiavellianly manipulating the dissenting minority of hoi polloi by echoing the Big Lie underneath all the protestations of the already visible barbarianism of hegemony:
