In yesterday’s RANT, I posted testimony given by John Lear – one of the most decorated pilots in American history – that the “official” 9/11 account is fraudulent. A man with no axe to grind, with four decades of commercial, cargo, and military flight experience, broke down the silly notion of untrained amateurs pulling off such Herculean tasks piece by piece, in simple language that any pilot would understand. I have spent ten years analyzing 9/11 data to understand what happened, and although nothing can be definitively concluded, I have some pretty well-REASONED assumptions, which following this testimony became vastly more credible.
9/11 Airplane Affidavit By John Lear, Son Of Learjet Inventor
I sent this article to a handful of people in my “inner circle,” including my mother. Mom is 69 years old, one of the most intelligent people I know, and in most aspects of life, a pragmatist. She loves to engage in deep discussions of a plethora of complex topics, but has an obvious blind spot for anything related to the U.S. government.
For instance, although she does not rely on the government for healthcare, she supports Obama-care on the flawed premise that “everyone” should have coverage. Such a misguided view ignores the FACT that many of the newly insured are illegal aliens or deadbeats gaming the system, or the PINK ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM – the government has NO MONEY to pay for it. I won’t even go into other “unforeseen consequences” of such a program, such as less doctors; higher inflation; the moral hazard of promising “something for nothing;” the immoral, unconstitutional practice of forcing individuals to buy insurance; and charging the hopelessly incompetent, bureaucratic government to make “life or death” decisions.
She also supported the Iraq war, blindly believing Bush’s garbage about Weapons of Mass Destruction. Not that I can blame her, as 95% of the population (BUT NOT ME!) was ready to bomb Mars to achieve revenge on the “terrorists.” Unfortunately, many “Baby Boomers” have a misguided belief that we are back in the 1940s, when American idealism soared and government’s intentions were far more altruistic – in other words, when America still resembled that of its Founding Fathers (although a skeptic like me would argue that the seeds of its demise had already been sowed).
In response to my Lear testimony email – in which I added ZERO additional commentary, my mother’s response was, “I know what happened on 9/11, and I don’t accept any other conspiracy theories.”
There is nothing surprising about her response, consistent with how she has always viewed the world. It was a major struggle to get her to shift one-third of her portfolio into Precious Metals, for example, but she still views the decision begrudgingly, even though it has been decidedly correct one. And based what I have written above, that skepticism will likely NEVER abate.
The fact is, my mother – and millions of “children of the Depression” – experienced difficult childhoods. Stories of their parents’ struggles with poverty, immigration – and in my family’s case, anti-Semitism – ring close to home, and in my mother’s case, way too close. At 69, she looks back at where she came from – and how she successfully emerged from it – and thus, feels gratitude to her nation. Not that the U.S. government was responsible for her success – intelligence, charm, and luck were the key elements – but she thrived under its auspices, thus unwilling to accept negative feedback, no matter how OBVIOUS.
The reason I brought my mother into this is to highlight the mentality of much of the nation’s (and world’s) population. For those without the means to PROTECT THEMSELVES, or living off government handouts – it is no use trying to convey my message. They will NEVER listen to “conspiracy theories” because there is NOTHING they can do about it. The safest route is to ignore them and continue to collect food stamps, receive Medicaid, and vote for Bush, Obama, or whichever politician offers them the most “free stuff.” These people can best be characterized as “ASSUMING THE WORST, BUT DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.”
As for my mother’s generation, for the aforementioned reasons – especially those with material retirement savings – they, too, will assume “all’s well.” The ramifications of their decisions may negatively impact their heirs – by not PROTECTING them against inflation – but their own lives will be relatively unaffected. This group can best be characterized as “ASSUMING THE BEST, AND NOT WORRYING AT ALL.”
The nation’s youth are in the most precarious position of all, born into a society engulfed in social, economic, and political decline. In China, many new jobs are created each month, but so are many new people, whereas in the U.S., no new jobs are created at all. The Chinese society, thus, may have issues with job competition, but a far worse scenario involves the lack of HOPE experienced in the States. Not only that, American youth are burdened with more than $1 trillion of non-dischargable student loans, saddling them with “debt serfdom” before they work a single day. This group is very amenable to learning the TRUTH, but unfortunately do not have the resources to PROTECT THEMSELVES. Thus, America’s youth can best be characterized as “ASSUMING THE WORST, AND DESPERATE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.”
Thus far, I have accounted for the young, the old, and the poor, which cumulatively account for more than half the population. Of the remainder, many are not characterized as “poor,” but in living paycheck to paycheck, and/or in deep debt, also do not possess the means to PROTECT THEMSELVES. I’d estimate another quarter of the population fits this description, and for the intent of this analysis, would likely be categorized in one of the three aforementioned groups.
That leaves less than a quarter of the population, those with both the means to take precautions and the will to buck years of social and political dogma in the search of TRUTH. These are the people I target with my writings, the “less than 25%” with the ability to save themselves. I have been writing RANTS since 2005 (or earlier equivalents thereof) to this group, and hopefully I’ve helped a few people to think more freely. Since joining Miles Franklin last year, my audience has grown larger, and simply via “word of mouth” I’m hoping to expand my band of “refugees” further. We are all in this together, so please do your best to spread the word of PROTECTION to as many open-minded people as possible, in the little time we have remaining.
Even my mother would tell me to “ASSUME THE WORST, AND HOPE FOR THE BEST,” as she is smart enough to realize uncertainty poses the greatest danger to our future well-being. Thankfully, she will survive what is coming due to her savings and older age, but the majority of the population is neither “old” nor “rich.” Remember, “ASSUMING THE WORST” doesn’t necessarily entail the purchase of PHYSICAL gold and silver – although, of course, this is the best way to preserve your wealth. What it does mean – in its simplest form – is considering the potential of a “worst-case scenario” occurring, and as such, taking steps to survive such a situation.
PROTECT YOURSELF, and do it NOW!
Hey Andy, I’m a fishermen on the west coast of Vancouver , how do u think the fishing industry is gonna b affected ? So far our expenses for everything has gone up dramatically over the last 10 yrs ( gas , bait, food etc). Yet we’re not getting paid anymore for our fish , things don’t add up hope it don’t get worse otherwise we might just stop fishing… There’s still decent amount of fish just our prices are not keeping up with our expenses …
Howard,
I can’t say I’m an expert in fish prices, although I am quite aware that different years can bring different “harvests.”
The only thing I am sure of is that COSTS will continue to rise until the monetary system crashes and is replaced with a gold standard.

Dear Mr. Hoffman-
Again, I appreciate your efforts to help people protect themselves;
it is very laudable.
But this paragraph troubled me:
The fact is, my mother – and millions of “children of the Depression” – experienced difficult childhoods. Stories of their parents’ struggles with poverty, immigration – and in my family’s case, anti-Semitism – ring close to home, and in my mother’s case, way too close. At 69, she looks back at where she came from – and how she successfully emerged from it – and thus, feels gratitude to her nation. Not that the U.S. government was responsible for her success – intelligence, charm, and luck were the key elements – but she thrived under its auspices, thus unwilling to accept negative feedback, no matter how OBVIOUS.
First, I can’t see why you’d color your Mother’s sufferings with the term “anti-semitism”. It is now well known that the European Jews
are not Semites, neither genetically, which is obvious, nor Biblically,
which is equally obvious from the fact that the Ashkenazi are descendants of Japheth, not Shem. Ashkenaz was not in the line of
Shem, therefore not a Shemite or Semite. Simple.
The term was coined by one Wilhelm Marr in Germany in the late 19th century as a “scientific” term referring to genetics…….the Jews
as a race, which in itself is spurious and unscholarly, seeing as
there are several genetic groups within Jewry.
It was the Talmudic Banker and his World Government (Zionist)
adherents who funded National Socialism in Germany, and who in fact are the same Zionist banking force that demonetized the metals in BOTH cases, then in Germany, and today in America.
So I find it dishonest of you to seek sympathy for your Mother’s suffering, when it is the same Talmudic Zionist banking entity
that we suffer under today.
Also, being a gentile, I find it odd and suspicious that you omit
these and other even more pertinent details, such as the sufferings
of gentiles under Talmudic Anti-Goyism, a much more clearly definable and statistically more prevalent phenomenon.
PF
I highly recommend the work of your namesake, Michael Hoffman,
and his amazingly exhaustive and scholarly “Judaism Discovered”.
Phil,
I am sorry, but I simply don’t have time to read your comments, and frankly have no interest.
There was NOTHING religious about my comments, and as you probably see, I have ZERO interest in discussing religion.
I was talking about my mother’s childhood in Brooklyn, and mine in Long Island, where we were assaulted with anti-semitism. There is nothing to analyze – I was repeatedly attacked for being Jewish, in good old New York.
End of story.
Andy
Andy,
Always good to hear somebody publicly speak truth about 9/11. It’s frustrating getting the unscientific ‘gov’t may suck, but they wouldn’t do that’ BS all the time.
My mother believes the inside job theory, but she STILL thinks Bush was a good president! She thinks they lied to him – how’s that for an unusual approach.
Mis,
Yep, 99% of the population has major cognitive dissonance.
I painfully learned long ago not to try to convince those that won’t listen.
Andy
Andy,
I’ve been blessed from my family’s perspective. My grandfather(mother’s side) was forced to fight in WWI(age 17) and WWII(age 40) as a German. Survived that (and Weimar) and took his family of ten to the U.S. in 1949. He knew the value of gold and stored his in Canada until 1980 (he somehow knew the top). My dad escaped from Hungary on a summer day in 1956 when the Russians were coming to grab him and take him to gulag.His brother suffered 4 years there but had a skill so he was useful.
Growing up we always had a basement full of canned/dried food. My grandfather even built an underground bomb shelter designed for 30 people that we had to maintain on a monthly basis – it was even showcased in Life (or Time) magazine back in the 60’s!
This perspective has always kept me on my toes even though I dozed for a while in my 20’s and 30’s (now 48). Since 9/11 (my son’s birthday) I’ve gotten back on board. I had serious reservations after taking a look at the destruction of the twin towers when assigned there as a State Trooper. They were confirmed a few years later when the drove of anomalies started hitting the internet. I was not the most popular guy at the barracks speaking out but convinced many to look into it themselves. I’m retired since 2007 and have been stacking ever since.
Thank you for your passionate labor! It is certainly appreciated!
Sandor,
Thanks for your fantastic comments.
Receiving such missives is why I write!
Andy
Andy, you are right on the money, with the testimony of Lear.
As a commercial pilot I have friends who “trained” the terrorists.
It is obvious to me and my fellow pilots that the government has published an incredible report which was written to cover up a conspiracy.
Needless to state the obvious anymore, I luckily have convinced my parents, but have friends who cannot do the same.
Just keep up the good work. Thank you.
Arjan,
It is incredible the heights of cognitive dissonance mankind is capable of.
Andy
