Cause and effect

The men who hijacked American airliners five years ago today made it through airport security because airport security employees didn't do their jobs right.

The men who hijacked American airliners five years ago today were in position to hijack those planes because the CIA and our unelected president didn't do their jobs right.

We did not need tighter security to prevent 9/11; we simply needed airport security employees to do their jobs right. We did not need invasions of our privacy to prevent 9/11; we simply needed our government to do its job right.

Had our "president" done his job, this would not have happened.

Had the CIA done its job, this would not have happened.

Had airport security done its job, this would not have happened.

The United States Constitution outlines the rules our government must follow. It says the government represents the American people, not that the government controls the American people. Well, I hate to tell you, but our government controls us. That is against the rules; it is against the law.

If our government would just start doing its job, you would be safe and you could trust that your private phone calls are indeed private. It's that simple. If you believe anything else, you are failing as an American citizen.

A pointless distraction

OK, so the Path to 9/11 fabrication suggests "President Clinton was 'too preoccupied' with impeachment and the Monica Lewinsky affair to focus on terrorism," according to articles I've read. Like a broken record, the American media have continued telling us this for several days now. Although the "reports" focus on criticism of the movie, they seem to function more as a tool to perpuate the idea that Clinton was distracted and ineffective.

Now let's just pretend for a minute that it's undisputed fact. Let's pretend that Clinton was too preoccupied with those things to focus on terrorism.

Given that truth, why was Clinton so preoccupied with impeachment and Monica Lewinsky?

One reason: Instead of dealing with real American concerns, Republicans devoted all their energy to bringing down one of their political rivals, simply because someone sucked his dick.

Why do you suppose nature gave the man a dick? It's certainly not for peeing. The only tool required for peeing is a hole, which is why more than half of the human population pees sitting down. Men have dicks for one reason only: so they can fuck. It is natural for humans to be horny, just as it is natural for humans to fuck. That's why we exist.

I have an idea: Let's all just stop blaming Clinton for having to deal with that shit, because he didn't create the distraction. Republicans created the distraction and Republicans are responsible for keeping Clinton from doing his job. What's their excuse for not doing their jobs?

I have no love for Bill Clinton, OK. I would have liked the guy if he had just said, "Yeah, I have smoked pot, and we all know you've smoked pot, too. That's something almost all of us try in our twenties. But I grew out of it, just like you did. So why are you trying to make it an issue?"

I would have liked Clinton if he had just said, "Yeah, I did everything I could to stay out of Vietnam because I believed the Vietnam War was wrong. History has proven that the Vietnam War was wrong, and people like me kept it from being even more wrong. So why are you trying to make it an issue?"

But Clinton didn't admit to smoking pot; he danced around it. And Clinton didn't admit dodging the draft or otherwise avoiding Vietnam. Too bad, because this country needs a leader who has done those things and is not afraid to admit it.

So why don't the media pose these questions? Because The Corporation exists to make money, not to report real news or ask meaningful questions. Real news and meaningful questions don't add to the bottom line, so real news and meaningful questions remain absent from mainstream media.
