Updates!

When I started this post I simply wanted to say that I had updated my website, but then I realized that I have a few other noteworthy updates in addition.  I moved!  How's that for news!  My boyfriend Will, my dog Gopi and I found a new place nearby that's our own space!  It used to be an old garage, but now it's the sweetest efficiency appartment you have ever seen!  We have our own kitchen, space for a livingroom and a bedroom.  And I'm so siked about having our separate sides of the bed so it's like Will and I each get our own separate space.  Gopi loves it too.  She has her own back door and fenced in yard.  I've been clearing out the overgrown garden and strarted my very own compost pile.  And soon I'll have my vegetable garden out front.  Best of all, I plan to set up shop in the front of our house!  Plenty more details to come on that one, but I can say I'll probably be open Saturday's only and will sell my hemp jewelry as well as other eco friendly and homemade creations.  I can't forget to mention too that my parent's took back my car and took me off the family phone plan.  So I've been walking everywhere or taking the bus, and I got a new phone number.

Oh, and I can't forget the real reason I'm here...I updated my Etsy website and my Facebook page.  There's new jewelry for sale on Etsy and there's new pictures and links on my facebook page.  Peace and Love!

Something Smells Fishy Obama

Ok so I have to say, something smells a bit fishy about the death of Osama Bin Laden...  I watched Obama's speech and I heard the news coverage... I don't buy it. I'm a strong believer of government conspiracies involving the 9-11 events.  I believe our NOBLE United States government not only knew about the attacks before they happened, I believe they also had some involvement.  They took advantage of the American people in light of the situation, convinced the majority that war was the only solution and then used that war for completely unrelated gains.  Gains in control of the oil industry, or so they hoped.  A decade later, no progress made, the government has almost lost all support over the matter.  And once again, I believe we are being duped in order to gain back support for our failing government.

First of all, let's rewind the clock about ten years.  September 11th, 2001.  An Al Qaeda group led by Osama Bin Laden attacked the United States on our own soil.  The official 9-11 report states that these men hijacked four commercial jets and crashed 3 of them into the World Trade Centers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington DC in a suicide attack, ultimately causing the collapse of the twin towers and nearby Building #7, and the nearly 3,000 deaths of American citizens.  The 4th plane was supposedly aimed at the White House but went down in a field in Pennsylvania instead.  With only this information, it is perfectly natural to be angry and to want revenge.  And I think if our government had it their way, this would be the only information known by the general populous.  However, it's not the whole truth.  There is too much information actually for me to put here while still keeping your interest, so I urge you to visit http://www.wanttoknow.info/9-11cover-up10pg for a full timeline of events and reports presented in mainstream media.  Instead though, I'll give a quick summary so that I can move on to what I really want to say. 

There is documented proof stating that the government had intelligence about the 9-11 attacks prior to them occurring and our military was ordered to stand down during the attacks.  The men charged with hijacking the planes did not have the training or experience in order to handle a jet that size or to successfully complete the required maneuvers.  As a result, the Twin Towers fell "free fall" style, as stated by the 9-11 Commissioner, meaning fell without resistense.  Demolition style, to put it in my own words, as if explosives were rigged to the base of the buildings to cause the straight-down collapsing effect.  Explosive residue was found in New York following the collapses, but the debris was cleared before further tests could be done.  The government bragged about this speediness.  Building 7, which contained important government records, was untouched by the attacks and yet it also fell in the same manner.  Moving on to DC, the 3 second video release of the impact on the Pentagon showed no plane whatsoever, and no plane wreckage was located in the rubble.  The hole in the building was simply a hole, not the shape of a plane with a wide wing span.  Eye witness accounts from Pentagon workers confirmed this.  And coincidentally enough, the only damaged area of the Pentagon was to the section containing budget records.  There was also minimal wreckage or debris recovered at the Pennsylvania site.  It was stated that no black boxes from any of the planes were recovered, and therefore no way to know what really happened on those planes, however one man working to clear the debris from the New York site claims he saw the boxes recovered.  And all this led to a war in order to capture the man responsible, Osama Bin Laden, who was hiding in Afghanistan.  As we all know, our government strayed from the path and also invaded Iraq in attempts to gain control of the entire region.  What for?  The same reason we've been there in the past...oil.

Fast forward 10 years to the mindset of our government. Our military is still in all areas of the Middle East while the major goals remain unaccomplished. The vast majority of Americans have withdrawn their support in the war, and want the military withdrawn yesterday.  Well, the government can't stand for this!  There's been too much time and money invested in this project and maybe, just maybe with a little more time we may be able to have it all!  How about we use another fear tactic, another bluff to gain back some support.  And so comes the death of Osama Bin Laden!  President Obama stated that a small team of Navy Seals entered Pakistan where intelligence stated Bin Laden was hiding.  In a shoot out, Bin Laden and one of his son's were killed, along with others who remain unidentified.  They claim blood samples taken from Bin Laden were matched to members of his family also living in the raided apartment complex.  And in order to keep true to Muslim traditions, Bin Laden's body was part of a rushed burial, first washed and then wrapped in a white sheet, and finally buried at sea.  Hold up!  Priority was given to kill him, rather than capture him alive and try him for his crimes.  When asked about this, officials had no comment.  And I am no master of the Muslim religion and their practices, but I do know that a burial at sea is not part of any reasonable funeral.  A proper burial is in the ground at the nearest cemetery, without the body being transported, and with the body facing so that Mecca is on the right side.  US officials claimed that the sea burial was so no shrines or monuments could be erected in Bin Laden's honor at his burial site.  And all of this information was only made public after the evidence was lost at sea.  My first thought when I learned the news of Bin Laden's death was hooray, now the war can be over!  But that's not the case.  Again in Obama's speech he stated that by killing Bin Laden, we may have angered his followers, as well as other extremists.  The leader of our country told us that now we have to fear retaliation and revenge attacks, and that it is imperative that we keep our troops abroad and even up our efforts in the matter. 

Recap, Americans want the war to be over but the government is not ready to pull out and can't admit the true reasons why.  Step around the truth, regain the American trust and support, and offer closure by saying our number one enemy is no longer at large.  Keep the advantage by instilling a new fear of future attacks and a new reason to keep the war going.  I will clearly declare that I do not have any evidence of my claims, and that all my speculations are based on my own interpretations of the information I have read and heard.  What I can conclude though is that we are once again being lied to.  I do not know for sure if Bin Laden was truly captured or killed, or that the body that lies on the ocean floor belonged to Bin Laden himself.  I can be sure though that the truth will come out one way or another, and I hope it comes soon.
