Confessions of a post modernist

I am not an ex-truther. I will never say that I wasted any of my life on anything. Alas, I must, like Mike Metzger, address the "movement."

I bull horned traffic and I spoke at the Social Action Conference as a member of 9/11 Truth, however I was never comfortable handing out pamphlets or DVD's. I watched most every movie, and read most every report. But I never fully believed anything. To my post modernist mind nothing added up.

I hate the government. Do I think that members of this administration are sly enough to pull something like 9/11 off? I do. Do I think they did? I just don't know.

What killed the movement for me? Marketing, sales, Dylan Avery, Burmas, I always fucking hated Alex Jones for all he spews is rhetoric in a loud voice, the We Are Change crew and the rest of the elitist fucks that try to progress their own agenda (whatever that may be) through various means of information.

A personal experience I had that made my stomach turn was an issue a couple months ago. I found out that there was going to be a concert and they were still looking for bands... I am in a band, and I will not say that we are great, but one thing we are (the lyrics are) is patriotic. Not in the normal sense but the air of the Dead Kennedys and Black Flag, Anti-Flag etc... The Nazi in charge said that we weren't patriotic enough. No he wanted a bunch of hippie, cumbaya crap, and sure, that is the prerogative of the promoter, but to let their personal jaded view of patriotism get in the way of a message is elitist and oppressive.

Turns out the show sucked anyway, so I'm glad I was told politely to go fuck myself.

9/11 was the catalyst for war, sure, to push the Bush agenda. However we (activists or whatever) should be focused on the fact that the government taps our phone, spits in the eye of equal rights, and keep secrets from us daily, and we shouldn't have to take it, and shouldn't willfully take it.

Metzger hits one nail right on the head. 50,000 DVD's times 20 bucks a piece is a million bucks. A million bucks for theories from a college drop out. Capitalism at it's finest.

9/11 allowed our country to be hijacked, whether it was planned since 1996 or not, it was still a catalyst and the families deserve an independent investigation as to where the fuck air support was, among other things.

When I was in the movement I was called a drunk among other things, yet most people who know me understand that my thinking is sometimes better when my conscience is altered. And those that are still within the movement need to focus on living life as opposed to analyzing it all the time.

Most of them are still friends, but on a different level. They understand why I walked away from the movement, because I had to focus on MY life and figure out how I can make a difference socially, from the counter culture in which I so strive to live and love in.

I have been with Metzger through most of his journey, and while he kinda went from one extreme to another in a sense, he is happier now, and isn't that what life is about? Finding your own happiness?

Live and let live.
Fuck you Alex Jones you fat fuck. I hope you choke on a fucking Slim Jim.
Fuck you too Avery, I don't know you, and I am glad for this, because I would spit all over you and your stupid red hat.
Finally... Fuck you Bush and Cheney for making our nation fucking miserable for the last 8 years. Condelezza Rice looks like a fucking turtle.
