An Anti-American Anthem

You always have interesting posts.

I was particularly  encouraged by the one titled “Courageous Women.” I checked out the link which relates to the French group Les Brigandes.

What’s not to love?  One might not agree with all they believe but to realise all Europe has not rolled over is a breath of fresh air. They bring out their message in a very accessible way.

One of their other songs, “How we become an American,” has a powerful message. One  line made me think of you:

When you get into your car
And fasten your seat belt
To go and get a pizza
Right around the corner

Please accept the usual disclaimers I am not anti-American but as I think you would agree, Americanism is an attempt to submerge us all.

Thank you for writing.

These women are clever and witty. Yes, a real breath of fresh air.

Hey, they forgot to mention the French Revolution! They’ve exported a few bad ideas of their own. Ha! But it’s nice that they refer to the scam of 9/11. Much of the world knows about it, but Americans watch their football games and swallow the lies.

What’s wrong with being anti-American if “Americanism” is an attempt to submerge us all?

Apparently it’s not cool on this website to think that 9/11 was perpetrated by crazy Islamists, or that our young boys’ blood kept these same French girls from speaking German, but I refuse to join the America-bashing. Unfortunately they know nothing about being an American.

Laura writes:

There possibly were “crazy Islamists” involved in 9/11 (I assume there were), but they are unlikely to have been responsible for the highly advanced, military-grade explosives that brought three skyscrapers, including one that had not been hit by a plane, to the ground in free fall. An intelligence report known as Able Danger identified some of the alleged 9/11 hijackers a year before 9/11 and alerted the FBI, which apparently did nothing. As Congressman Curt Weldon said:

The Pentagon has acknowledged now, publicly, that they have identified five defense employees who either vividly remember identifying Mohammed Atta prior to 9/11 or seeing his name linked with a Brooklyn cell prior to 9/11.

We have Scott Philpott (ph), a Navy commanding officer, who’s commanded one of our naval warships, an Annapolis graduate, who has come out publicly and risked his entire career to say what he’ll say next Wednesday under oath: that he specifically remembers identifying Mohammed Atta in January and February of 2000, specifically; that he would stake his career on it. And that he was the leader of Able Danger.

We have Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer — who’s outside in the hallway, who I couldn’t bring into the House Gallery because of House rules, but who’s available for you to talk to, outside — who will testify under oath on Wednesday before the Senate that as a DIA liaison to Special Forces Command for Able Danger, he attempted to present information to the FBI on three occasions in September of 2000 about the Brooklyn cell and Mohammed Atta.

Besides it’s not a question of “being cool.” Not only is not cool to question the official version of 9/11, it’s taboo. But truth is not unpatriotic, nor is the desire to seek the truth if it’s not motivated by malice.

It may be harsh for me to say that Americans “watch their football games and swallow the lies.” I admit that. They have been bombarded with false stories and it’s hard and time-consuming to question them.

Laura writes:

I should add that some of those who blame 9/11 on the U.S. government are, I believe, guilty of being enemies of their own country.

There is massive evidence of Israeli involvement. It had to be both an inside and an outside job.

Terry Morris asks, “What’s wrong with being anti-American if “Americanism” is an attempt to submerge us all? I would think it’s important to distinguish people from policies so I am not anti American. Americanism of itself wouldn’t be a problem but as this has become irretrievably associated with American exceptionalism , the stakes have been raised. The theory that the USA is inherently different from other nations would be fine but as both their national character and currency are debased, the rest of the world is being short changed.
