My Flag & Beliefs Held Hostage | Philip A. Farruggio



Philip A. Farruggio -- World News Trust

June 30, 2015

In 1935 author Sinclair Lewis wrote "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." Amazing how he could see ahead 80 years!

With another July 4th around the corner, replete with the usual fireworks, barbeques and beer, perhaps it is time for us to ponder the direction our Amerikan Empire has taken. Let's just focus on the 15 years of this the 21st century, ok? The presidential election of 2000 revealed (blatantly to the world outside of our borders) just how devious this Military Industrial Empire can be.

The movers and shakers of our Two-Party "One-Party" syndicate (and that is what they are) decided that it would be much better for their greedy and exploitive interests to have Junior Bush and his puppeteer, Darth Cheney, in office. Al Gore would have been ok to them, having done his apprenticeship under their stooge "Smirking Bill," but maybe the Bush/Cheney gang could get more done and quicker. So, they fixed the election and got that gang the power they needed to do the "dirty deeds." And boy, they sure did!

The folks in the 9/11 Truth movement love the flag and are as patriotic, more so in fact than those who follow the empire's "company line." One fine attribute of that group is that it is made up of conservatives, ultra conservative libertarians, progressives, socialists etc. All they focus on is what really happened on 9/11 and of course afterwards... when the police/ surveillance state went wild.
