MY MOM IS STUNNED author: BOOMER Mom is at a loss for words after watching David Ray Griffin's presentation on C-Span2 this morning. I've been trying to drop a few hints about the 911 truth movement to my Mom now for quite a while. I called her this morning and told her to turn on C-Span2 to see author/professor David ray Griffin talk about his new book "The 911 Commission: Omissions and Distortions". Quite frankly, she thought my "conspiracy theories" were a load of BS until she saw this amazingly clear and concise analysis. I called her back later and asked what she thought about it all. "It's wild" was all she could say at first. I pressed her a bit and she simply admitted "I'M STUNNED'. Let me tell you, it's damned hard to stun my Mom about anything. She's a hard-headed Taurean whose feet are planted firmly on Mother Earth. If my Mom, middle class, a straight citizen in her 70's is stunned about all this, there may actually be some light at the end of this murky tunnel. add a comment on this article scoffs30.Apr.2005 20:17 gklink I know. My family scoffs at me about the conspiracy of 9-11. None of us saw this cable show nor have read the book. How real does it all seem now? My Mom stunned too30.Apr.2005 20:50 Johny Revolutionlink I lucked in to catching this unambiguous account of what happened on 9-11 and got my 70 year old Swedish mom to listen in. She too was blown away by Mr. Griffins lecture. It was rather sad to see the reaction on my mothers face when she realized that the government she has faithfully supported for 50 years was capable of such heinous treachery. Myself, being a forest activist for many years, I have never doubted that the Bush corporate elitists and their co-conspirators in the Pentagon were guilty of not only allowing 9-11 to happen, but of actually planning and orchestrating the entire thing. Eisenhower warned, in his last days, of the dangers of the military industrial complex and how if they became too influential and entrenched in our economy that dire consequences would take place. "President Cheney" new that in order for the neo-cons to get away with 9-11, they would have to secure the confidence of not only the pentagon, but also the mainstream press. Let's look at this one crucial area of the entire story. First of all, who owns CBS? Well coincidentally Westinghouse does, a company that has multi million dollar contracts with guess who, the Pentagon. Next, who owns NBC? I'll be darn, NBC is owned by General Electric, who also annually is awarded huge defense contracts. Naturally with these two big players involved if they decided to not "investigate" aggressively the evidence, all the other corporate media would most likely follow along not wanting to look anti-American. Cheney is definetly brilliant,he knew the American mainstream press was gutless and lazy and therefore had nothing to worry about. Combine the potential profits from a perpetual war on terror and the ever increasing dilemna of oil shortages, and one can see how a catastrophic event like 9-11 would be most advantageous for the American elitists. These evil capitalists bent on global domination (quite literally) thrive on fearmongering and chaos. 9-11 brought both of these scenarios to the forefront of our society and the Bushites are reaping the rewards as we speak.I believe the only way out of this insanity is to connect ourselves(all the anti-capitalists} here in the States and stage mass demonstrations on the Capitol demanding a change in government such as what has happened in the Ukraine and Krygystan recently. We can only talk and scholastically debate so much. We the People need, now more than ever, to assert our power in the streets and elsewhere.
Moving this to America Attacks. I can't find a way that this is "Parenting" associated at all. (Except for the fact that your mother was mentioned.)
It would seem to illustrate the dynamics betwixt children and their parents in this current age of disinformation and dumbing down. Seems there might be some more stories floating around about breaking that wall down and just feeling happy to see one's folk(s) finally understand where your'e coming from. It sucks to have your own parents toting the bullshit and looking at you like you're some freak. Maybe it fits like that? Hell, I d/k. But, good on your mom Revo, that's cool. edt: or wait is your mom even involved?
oh no, that wasn't MY mom...that was copied from portland IMC. MY mom is as deslusional and brainwashed as many Americans, unfortunately. Hell, I think she's out in the other room watching Access Hollyshit right now! I like how you used the word betwixt. :-D
