http://www.postindependent.com/article/20110504/VALLEYNEWS/110509965/1021&parentprofile=1077 Bin Laden killing one more government lie I woke up Monday morning, turned on the computer, went to the Post Independent website, read the headline “Obama: Osama bin Laden Killed,” and the accompanying article written by the Associated Press. The message I kept hearing from my inner self told me this was as though written by the Ministry of Truth from George Orwell's novel “1984.” For the benefit of those not familiar with this novel, here is Wikipedia's description: “1984 is a 1948 dystopian novel written by George Orwell about an oligarchical, collectivist society. Life in the Oceanian province of Airstrip One is a world of perpetual war, pervasive government surveillance and incessant public mind control. The individual is always subordinated to the state, and it is in part this philosophy which allows the Party to manipulate and control humanity. In the Ministry of Truth, protagonist Winston Smith is a civil servant responsible for perpetuating the Party's propaganda by revising historical records to render the Party omniscient and always correct, yet his meager existence disillusions him to the point of seeking rebellion against Big Brother, eventually leading to his arrest, torture, and reconversion.” Most of you who were around in 2006 may remember when there was a lengthy battle of words in the letters to the editor concerning the events of Sept. 11, 2001, after I wrote a letter saying that I was forming a group called Citizens for 9/11 Truth and that I would be showing videos on the subject locally. Here it is five years later, plenty of time for those interested in the most important event in recent history to study the matter further. Is there still anyone out there who honestly believes the official government story of what happened that day? By the way, Osama bin Laden has been dead for many years now.

But, how you treat the one person who can do nothing for you. If I can instill a sense of humanity in just in just one person then I've achieved my mission." ~ Sierra Roberts -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coalitionforfreethoughtinmedia ©" group.
