...the main point is this: ALL of the politicians and people who matter are fully aware of what happened on 9-11 and basically they all know that
elements of the far right wing military/industrial etc., complex pulled off an inside job with the help of Israel and others to advance the interests
of the people involved...to enrich them and position them politically as well.
How are you so sure about the above? I know that some politicians are actually part of the truth movement in some ways, such as Curt Weldon:

However, I think that many may still be in the dark, to a greater or less degree, as to what truly happened that day. I believe that we must continue
to try to educate people whenever a good opportunity arises; it's clear that people talk to people and the more people who know the facts, the more
people will want a new investigation. They re-investigated the JFK assassination and atleast they confirmed that Lee Harvey Oswald couldn't have
acted alone. So admittedly if they reinvestigate 9/11, they may not get all the facts, but I think there's great potential that atleast they'll get
a few more and perhaps correct some of the ommissions and distortions in the 9/11 Commission's report.

The perpetrators sent a very clear message with OKC, 9-11 and the Anthrax letters to the people that might take a stand: We have won and you will die
if you make a stink...ever.
Well, as far as I'm concerned, the truth movement has only grown stronger in the last 8 years. I think that all the powers that were behind 9/11 have
accomplished is to delay the inevitable, just as they delayed the 9/11 commission from forming. And while it's true that the 9/11 Commission report
left much to be desired, and even some 9/11 Commissioners protested how it was handled, I contend that it was much better than not having put in the
effort at all. I think that the time will come when enough of the american people will want a new investigation that it will come to pass.

The sheer number of ' inexplicable anomalies' associated with this event alone makes any intelligent and thinking person admit that the official
story is nonsense.
I contend that the main problem is that people first have to be -aware- of the inexplicable anomalies. Keep in mind that people's emotional stance on
the issue may also affect their judgement. Clearly we have people in this very forum who still profess to believe much of the official story. I
contend that educating people regarding the true facts is simply a process that will take a long time....

Intelligent people kNOW that 9-11 was an inside job. There is no question about it to them. It insults the informed mind to try and insist that
excuses can be believed for the hundreds and thousands of facts that prove the oficial story a fantasy. Those who would defend the official story
faqll into two main groups:
First, the ignorant or uneducated often will accept the official story. They simply cannot compute odds and factor in likelihoods in assessing
realistic assumptions. Because THEY cannot imagine grand schemes they insist that no one else can either. Such staggering gaul is symptomatic of the
uninformed; they substitute passion for logic.
I imagine people who are in that group don't regularly post here, so I'll move to the next group :-p.

The other group are those that have an agenda for denying simple reality, whether it be financial or political, and they do not have the excuse of a
lack of education or knowledge. They simply insist that all of the empirical evidence is invalid because to admit the truth would be tantamount to
admitting a total and complete lack of control over destiny, and that they cannot and will not allow, for personal psychological reasons.
I'm not sure you have it right there; I, for one, don't believe that simply because a small faction of the U.S. government orchestrated 9/11, I have
no control over my destiny. The important thing to remember concerning 9/11, in my view, is that it had to be done in secret- had it been done in the
open, the people behind it would be in jail and/or dead at this point. And with something of that nature, it's not like there's a statute of
limitations; they have to -maintain- the coverup, for if enough people realize that they've been deceived, they will have to face justice.

Their entire framework for existing in this mad world is to imagine that they can rely on the superstructure to support them and protect them, and to
admit this is not true would undermine their comfort level to the point of desperation.
That may indeed be true.

In other words, many people cannot deal with their own govenment being controlled by criminal elements so despicable that they would murder vast
numbers of Americans, as well as others, to accomplish their political and personal goals.
The amount of control the powers behind 9/11 exert over the U.S. government is an interesting question; it's not one I personally can answer.
However, I believe that their primary method of control relies upon people being ignorant of the facts. It's for this reason that I think that it's
so important to educate people on these facts.
