Become A Conspiracy Realist By Liam Scheff

We Americans are not terribly good students of history. We are, in fact,
more enamored with the myth of our country, and now, with the digital
and artif icial worlds of internet, movies and television, than we are
with the actual history of our nation.

-America the beautiful; America, the land of opportunity; Anybody can
grow up to be President; If you work hard and do good for others, you
will rise to the top...-

Does anyone f eel this dream is still alive? Did George W. Bush work hard
and do good for others? He certainly did rise - or was pulled - to the
top. What does that say about our actual nation? If a former addict,
drop-out, and mass-executioner is the one chosen to -lead the country,-
then we can dispel with the myth of -America the honest and just.- We
have to examine the sources of power, and the history hidden just
beneath the surface.

The actual history of the country is available, in plain sight, to anyone
who wants to look. So much that is shocking is on the record, and so much
more brought to the record through the Freedom of Information Act, that
it is a wonder we turn to The Bachelorette for entertainment.

The history of our government is far more interesting.

We are, like the ancient Romans, fed -bread and circuses,- to distract us
from reality. So-called -reality television- is, in fact, a distraction
from that unseemly history that awaits the curious researcher.

And Here It Is:

We are not run by a government, so much as by a secret government. We
call it many things - the national security state, the intelligence
community, the corporate internationalist... but it began with one
agency - The CIA.

It took less than six years from the CIAs creation in 1947, emerging
from the wartime information gathering service, the OSS, to its
toppling of its f irst sovereign foreign government - Iran - in 1953.

The CIA ousted the elected leader, Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh, put it a royal
puppet, The Shah, who set up a repressive police state, which tortured
and murdered dissidents. Why? Because Iran wanted to nationalize its oil
f ields, and take them out of the hands of the Western oil barons.

Guatemala was next, in 1954. The CIA took that country apart, and fed it
to murderous dictators, leaving a hundred thousand citizens murdered over
30 years. All because Guatemalas leadership wanted to keep the fruit
production in the hands of the people of Guatemala. CIA director Allen
Dulles was on the board of the United Fruit Company, which was having its
prof it margin threatened by an independent Guatemala. And, with the
sound of bombs falling on the capital, the CIA was there to say -NO-
to independence.

Southeast Asia followed, then the Congo in 1960, and Cuba in 1961 and on.
In 1963, President John Kennedy had his head blown off on his parade
route in Dallas, supposedly by a - Lone Gunman.- But examine the history.

Was Lee Harvey Oswald a lone nut? Or an ex-military, with military
training in Russian, who was allowed to defect to Russia, marry the niece
of a KGB colonel, then return to the US, to work in a map-making outfit
that contracted with the US Army? He returned to New Orleans, where he
spent his time working with known FBI and CIA agents and handlers
Guy Bannister, George de Mohrenschildt, Clay Shaw and David Ferrie.

So much for - Lone Nut.-

And who changed the parade route to go under tall buildings with open
windows? Who was the Mayor of Dallas? It was Earle Caball - the brother
of General Charles Caball, deputy director of the CIA - who was forced
by Kennedy to resign, along with his superiors, Allen Dulles and Richard
Bissell. Kennedy removed these top CIA men after the -Bay of Pigs-
invasion of Cuba. Kennedy said he wanted to -splinter the CIA into a
thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.-

Kennedy was also pulling troops out of Vietnam, and wanted to end the war
by 1965. What would that do to the hundreds of millions in weapons sales?

What would that do to Pentagon budgets? We never got to find out..

We can trace the rise of todays secret government power-brokers, Donald
Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, through the seventies, and into the eighties,
as the Iran-Contra CIA guns and drugs -scandal- was breaking in the
press and the White House.

Colonel Oliver North played the sacrif icial lamb, with a twist - he sold
many Americans on the notion that secret wars were alright, as long as
the President wanted them to exist. Many today still buy this rhetoric.

We can fast forward to a day in September, when everything seemed to go
wrong at once, and ask ourselves if there were not, indeed, any warnings,
or if there should not have been any way to stop the planes that were
tracked, long before they hit their intended targets. As Norman Mineta
said, quoting Dick Cheney, as the plane got closer and closer to the
Pentagon, and as the information was relayed to the V.P.: -Of course
the orders still stand!-

The order to what? We are not allowed to ask this question. We are not
permitted to ask why steel buildings can disintegrate outward and
downward, like a pyroclastic volcanic f low, at free-fall speed, because
of off ice f ires. If we do, we are labeled, - Conspiracy theorists.-

But people who use this label are not interested in reality; they do not
want to forward investigation, discussion or understanding. Their goal
is to suppress all of that. And so, we have to be more than conspiracy
-theorists.- We must be conspiracy realists. Because conspiracy is real,
it is how the world very often works. We know it from history; we know
it from the hidden histories available to anyone who wants to look. Or,
to quote Carroll Quigley, -Conspiracy is the normal continuation of
normal politics by normal means.-

Let Us Be Conspiracy Realists. The World Demands It.
