Death, Deception, Denial

An astonishing phenomenon occurred immediately after 9/11. There was massive, overwhelming denial regarding who was behind the attacks. It was as if following the demise of the twin towers and building seven at the World Trade Center there was a further controlled demolition of truth and logic themselves. There’s an elephant in America’s living room, but they just want to talk about whether Mr. Obama is a closet Muslim, and which celebrity bimbo forgot to wear underwear. Again.

Jesus walked on water, and on the ninth of September 2001, the laws of physics were temporarily suspended once again. We live in a magic universe.

The Bush Administration did everything within its power to avoid an investigation into the events. When the demands of the bereaved families and others became too persistent to ignore, Bush at first appointed Henry Kissinger as Commissioner. Henry Kissinger! But Dr. K’s hands turned out to be a little too bloody and he had fingers stuck into too many potentially embarrassing pies, including one or two in Saudi Arabia, so the Decider Guy had to find other willing cronies to do the job a la Warren Commission. Except the evidence had already long since been destroyed, the Commission was deliberately starved of funds, time, and even access to the contaminated crime scene, and witnesses. The President and Vice President agreed to cooperate only if they could appear as witnesses together and unsworn, that no notes be taken, and the meeting be restricted to one hour (later amended).
