Because the size and scope of 9/11 was so massive, I would venture to say that tens of millions of Americans simply could not absorb it all between family and work obligations. There was far too much speculation backed up by nothing. There was far too much being posted on the Internet that could not be substantiated. One could literally drown in the sheer number of articles and columns about that horrible day. Sifting through it all takes time. Time to read, research, file Freedom of Information Act requests and watch mountains of video. As I was home that day, I saw all of it unfold on TV and for weeks after, I kept up with it more than the average person simply because I do work at home.
“It just didn’t make any sense to me… When one starts using his own mind, and not what one was told, there is very little to believe in the official story.” September 5, 2007 – U.S. Navy ‘Top Gun’ pilot, Commander Ralph Kolstad (Conspiracy nutcase)
This goes back to the WWII generation. We came to believe the government was righteous, and opsec was necessary.” Loose lips sink ships”…etc. At that point, questioning Uncle Sam was the equivalent of being traitorous. They have run with that ball ever since.

It all started with 9/11. Americans were told to go shopping. The turning point that we could have saved America was June of 2003. In 2012, it is now too late. Please store food and water and be ready.
