5TH COLUMN, 2001
Before and during World War II in the 1930's and the 1940's America was
invaded by groups of plotters and planted "sleeper" agents who fought
against the U.S. from the inside. This was thought up and executed before
there was war between the U.S. and the Totalitarian AXIS that formed at that
time. Some were spies; others were soldiers in civilian clothing attempting
to sabotage our war efforts.
We have awakened to the fact that other powers, those resting on the
principles of "Jihad" or Holy War, have created a 5th column in our time. We
were taken by surprise. Our vaunted FBI and CIA and Military Security
agencies were shaken, as was the rest of America, when the planes hit.
Here in Florida where there are many opportunities to attend schools that
prepare pilots, a fifth column operated openly with families accompanying
some of them. They seemed like ordinary folk even if some of them dressed a
bit differently. In apparent disregard for the Islamic prohibition against
alcohol, a few of the subversives were seen drinking in local watering
places.
They waved hello and were not unfriendly. They left their homes open when
they went to study or work. We thought they were like us.
But they weren't like us. This fact glaringly demonstrates that they
participated in the planning and execution of the coordinated flights of
destruction on September 11, 2001. The evidence that has accumulated after
the fact proves we were home to a fifth column.
You cannot tell who the person is who lives next door. You do not know what
he/she has going on in his/her head. My head tells me that targets such as
the twin World Trade Towers and massive buildings like the Pentagon should
be re-thought. Such concentrations of people, talents and resources might
better be decentralized and dispersed to smaller and more widely spaced
areas when the planners rebuild. What do you think?
Carol's Evaluation: 9 out of 10.
