Excerpt from the documentary "Tourists in DC."

"What no one seemed to notice was the ever-widening gap between the government and the people.

"And it became always wider...the whole process of its coming into being, was above all diverting, it provided an excuse not to think...for people who did not want to think anyway gave us some dreadful, fundamental things to think about... and kept us so busy with continuous changes and 'crises' and so fascinated... by the machinations of the 'national enemies,' without and within, that we had no time to think about these dreadful things that were growing, little by little, all around us....

"Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, 'regretted,' that unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these 'little measures'...must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing...Each act is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next.

"You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join you in resisting somehow. You don't want to act, or even talk, alone...you don't want to 'go out of your way to make trouble.' But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes.

"That's the difficulty. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves, when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed.

"You have accepted things you would not have accepted five years ago, a year ago, things your father...could never have imagined."

Milton Mayer, They Thought They Were Free, The Germans, 1938-45 (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1955)

i hope these people know that if America stops war that other countries aren't ohhh noway that would be way to obvious that maybe just because America stops that the Russians wont you know just making a conspiracy here.

love to see ppl fighting together for freedom.

[menotyou66]

yes, it is a theory that they lived in caves ;)

[HDYGmedia]

The biggest conspiracy theory is that 19 people that live in caves hijacked our airplanes with boxcutters.... Google "911 Octopus" to learn more. Go RON PAUL 2008!

[menotyou66]

again i ask, what does that have to do with the outlandish conspiracy theories out there? i'm doing what i can to restore constitutional rights, but without looking for specters that just aren't there. there's too much to be done without wasting time on chasing ghosts. this flouting of rights must be stopped.

[HDYGmedia]

Things need to change in government regardless of 911. Look at taser abuse; college kids get tased for talking too long? Or were they asking the wrong questions? If you were on a ship with a hole in the hull, would you just re-arrange furniture, or would you work on the REAL problem... the HOLE in the ship?

[menotyou66]

no, i want peace too. but what's that have to do with it? the government did not plant explosives in the towers. although the only conspiracy i can believe possible is that they let the attack go as planned, just like at pearl harbor, as an excuse to go to war.

[HDYGmedia]

Is it a conspiracy theory to want peace???
