Help, my husband thinks I'm crazy!

maybe we're not the best people to try and convince him otherwise.

Government is a big thingy and different departments have different interests. If Treasury wants to cut something, CIA may think otherwise. Millitary brass may confront president with "we strongly believe" or "based on our estimates" bull in order to make him act. Historians and radio talk hosts also have their own interests.

Unless we have solid facts, we can only speculate. For example, folks at USS Liberty were expecting handsome monetary compensation from Israel via US courts. They worked with lawyers. Their interviews and testemonies were accordingly one sided. And they got the settlement they accepted.

Mention the overthrow of Iran's government in the 50s and the blowback that we saw in the 70s. Keep it simple, every now and then mention it esp if he talks about foreign stuff. DO not get into arguments, do not debate the issue, simply mention Blowback as manytimes and the overthrow of the Shah in the 50s in Iran then mention blowback again for good measure. DO this over a week.

THEN BANG.... take him to watch the movie called Argo, sure Argo is a bit of propaganda, but what it shows is the overthrow of the Shah in the 50s right in the beginning from the big screen itself.

Then say nothing, this seed will get working in his brain and he will to start to think about Iran in a new light.

Get the USS liberty documentary as a Chrsitmas gift (DVD), but do not pressure him into watching it. He must decide for himself, you create an invironment where the stubborn mule works these things out by himselve.

But facts don't lie. My husband and I are both Mecahnical Engineers. We question EVERYTHING - partly our nature and partly what we were trained to do in school.

It's hard to face some things in this life but sometimes one must defer to the facts no matter how hard they are to swallow.

Regarding building #7 being rigged for implosion on the day of 9/11:

In order to demolish a building safely, blasters must map out each element of the implosion ahead of time. The first step is to examine architectural blueprints of the building, if they can be located, to determine how the building is put together. Next, the blaster crew tours the building (several times), jotting down notes about the support structure on each floor. Once they have gathered all the raw data they need, the blasters hammer out a plan of attack. Drawing from past experiences with similar buildings, they decide what explosives to use, where to position them in the building and how to time their detonations. In some cases, the blasters may develop 3-D computer models of the structure so they can test out their plan ahead of time in a virtual world.

The U.S. gov't certainly is capable of allowing and plotting diabolical things against its citizenry.

Besides incidents such as with the USS Liberty, the Tuskegee syphilis experiment(see mindwalker55's post further below), and the excellent example of the Federal Reserve (posted by TheLorax below), Operation Northwoods (see John23's post below) is also evidence of gov't plotting false flag terror events against its citizenry and others.

There have also been other biological experiments on an unsuspecting U.S. public.

So yes, there IS evidence that the U.S. gov't would allow and do diabolical things against its citizenry.

Also, regarding wtc7, Barry Jennings gives eyewitness account of explosions PRIOR to the collapse of the twin towers.
At around 1:43...

...when I got to the sixth floor, there was an explosion. That's what forced us back to the eighth floor. Both buildings were still standing.

Face it, most people will never take time to do the research and draw the same conclusions that many of us here have. So personally I like to focus on just one thing and that's the Federal Reserve. Because as far as conspiracies go its #1 at the top of the list since money affects EVERYONE and they are the source of it.

First, I'd try to get your husband to accept the fact that the Fed conspiracy is true - that it was conceived and created by and for a cabal of international bankers who control it until now. Griffin's Creature From Jekyll Island ought to take care of the convincing part.

Once your husbands acknowledges this ask him if you controlled a nations currency who would really be in charge - which is the greatest power? Any reasonable person should understand this fact. Heck, former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan even gave an interview on PBS where he flat out stated the Fed is above all branches of government.

Then, tell your husband... Why would a secretive cabal of international bankers with this immense power never once had an interest in abusing it for political gain or influence? Again, were talking about a group that operates under extreme secrecy, beginning with its inception until now. I'm reminded of the movie, The Godfather and that scene with Al Pachino as the Godfather and his wife threatens to leave with the children. He tells her something to the effect, "You know who I am and what I do - don't you know that I would use everything in my power to make sure that never happens"? It's the same with the Fed... Don't you know they would use all their power to ensure it is never threatened of being taken away?

Get your husband to knowledge this one conspiracy and I'm sure he'll be more open minded on the rest.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

he's been brainwashed his entire life, but doesn't know (or want to know) it. At some point we all need to grow up and realize that most of our childhood beliefs have been wrong.

Santa Claus is an imaginary figure, so is the Easter Bunny. For the government to continue what it's doing - it needs people like your spouse to blindly believe what they are told. Like little kids.

For every brainwashed person there is usually something that can get them to wake up. For tough cases such as your spouse, it will probably have to be something very personal.

Here's an example: my former wife's (she's a huge Obama supporter) church was broken into last month and robbed of thousands of dollars worth of electronics (speakers, microphones, etc). Their security cameras filmed it all AND the police, when shown the tape, immediately identified the thief said they even knew where he lived.

They've done NOTHING. a few days ago a nearby convenience store was robbed (corporate property) - within hours, the police rounded up the previously unidentified thieves.

I asked her how they were doing at getting her thief, since the others were so easy to get. She said she couldn't understand why they do nothing to help with the church robbery, which was a much larger crime in terms of value, but are all over the $50 store robbery.

Finally, I was able to get her attention and explain to her who the police actually protect. NOW she's listening - but it had to get personal with her first.

Once the govt. does something to directly affect him, he might start to listen. Until then, keep watching for that moment.

Dearest,
how about focusing on all the things you agree on? How about appreciating your husbands good nature and all his valuable traits?

No one person believes exactly as another. Why do you need him to be a copy of your believe system?

He believes in individual liberty? You got a big winner! Celebrate life with him!

He may not be able to believe that a government can become evil because he is purely good and it would hurt him too much. Do not force him to see something even if it is the reality, if it may be too much for him to handle. Raise above, with LOVE!

Be blessed!

Start with one where the government admitted what they did.

... Truth Gone Wild

http://tgwvid.blogspot.com/

This is a site my friend and I put together with tons of information regarding 9/11.

http://truthgonewild.blogspot.com/

You unlikely get him to believe in an actually planned conspiracy to make those events happen.

Instead, stress to him that all politicians are opportunists.

They may not plan and execute a crisis, but they will suppress any warnings to allow it to happen to take advantage of it. This still makes them culpable for the events themselves.

You could show him this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HODxnUrFX6k

It's not either event you mentioned, but it's Secretary of Defense at the time Robert McNamara admitting that the Gulf of Tonkin incident never happened.

So what I have noticed, is whether or not people can articulate it or not, their denial almost always come back to this belief...

"No way that many people can be that evil"

Its actually a good frame of mind. It means they are generally upbeat and good people.

He is just lacking a little of bit of knowledge about their ideology. They don't think they are evil. They think they are helping humanity.

I know of two great sources that spell this out in crystal clear detail.

1. If you like to read, then an essay called The chasm is what you need. go here. http://www.freedomforceinternational.org/freedom.cfm?fuseact... go 3/4 of the way down the page and look for a link to "The chasm".

2. If you rather video, there are a couple of free webinars going on this week. Just go here to find out when.

http://www.successcouncil.com/live_presentation/register_her...

Let me know how it goes. :)

Give him time to think about it and keep showing him evidence. Some people take longer to come around because to do so shatters their sense of security and trust.

How about getting him the book "Family Of Secrets"? If you haven't read it, you should buy a copy yourself and then have him read it after you do. It's hard to imagine it wouldn't open up his eyes.

Also, has he seen "Explosive Evidence" - the PBS documentary about the findings of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth?

Also, does he know about "Operation Northwoods"?

http://abcnews.go.com/US/Story?id=92662&page=1#.UMMmxqyHNaQ

(and I'm in the SAME boat) is pretty much not talking about it anymore. He has a brain and eyes and ears. When and if he is ever ready he can learn it all the same way I did. Hours of study. Nothing I do or say will make him change his mind so I choose a happy marriage:)

Then there are a couple of books on the subject that would be of interest. The first one is by a political and financial journalist, Garet Garret, who was a contemporary of FDR and understood exactly what was going on. It is a real eye opener and should be read by every American in my opinion. It is called The People's Pottage and is free to read online at the Ludwig von Mises Institute: http://mises.org/books/pottage.pdf

The second one is available in the same way from the same website. It is called Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace and is subtitled A Critical Examination of the Foreign Policy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and its Aftermath. It is a compilation of essays by historians who were also contemporaries of FDR and like The People's Pottage it was published in 1953. All of the predictions in that book have come true with the exception thus far of WWIII. It is only a matter of time before that one is also fulfilled. Here is the link:

http://library.mises.org/books/Harry%20Elmer%20Barnes/Perpet...

Even if your husband refuses to read these books I would suggest you yourself read them and arm yourself with the knowledge contained in them. Stay cool.

with most Americans.
We assume that all people think as we do... Love our country, patriotic and so on. We cannot readily accept that a group of people could be so greedy or self motivated that they would allow fellow Americans to die for their selfish gains. That's naive!
There are so many examples to the contrary that it's sickening!
Look at the current situation in congress. The Republicans have the purse strings and yet they allow Obama to do as he pleases!
Ask him what he would do if he were a Representative in congress and he received a message asking him "How's your family"... That would put fear in most people! A fear that would affect how you vote and make all decisions...
If the 'Northwoods' document isn't enough for people to see the light, then I can only imagine that even Rothschild couldn't convince them!
Oh yeah... WTC 7 was a rush demolition job! For me, that's harder to believe than the 9/11 report!

I forgot to mention.

As we believe in Liberty and self-reliance, we are honest people. We don't need to steal or free load. That is still the Foundations of this country : laissez faire, for peace and prosperity.

But we, all of us, need to understand how the evil thinks. I am talking of TPTB.

For that we need to understand something, we VERY often overlook or forget :

TPTB, the enslavers, CANNOT produce ANYTHING.

I really mean it. They are lazy. They are untalented. They HATE competition, emulation, reward.

They cannot but FAKE everything. They cannot but change the meaning of words, the values of emotions. Wrong becomes right. Right becomes wrong.

So, their MAIN strategy to subject everybody is to get the fish head to be rotting first, and have the rest of the body start rotting, in turn.

The head = the elites. Medias. Celebs. Academics. Members of the Houses. The people you elect.

The body = the people.

It is important for TPTB that the body gets rotten **AS WELL** so they get more control and to steal broader.

They AIM to make ALWAYS MANY MORE people dependent of THE STATE they force down the people throats - THE STATE : themselves, creating NOTHING but many more rules to coerce.

And TO DISTRACT people from free enterprise, risk taking, natural compassion and voluntary entraid - they have one of their best tool :

Bread and Circuses.

Distraction and stolen wealth redistribution to DISCOURAGE people from willing to keep their own destiny, dreams, endeavors.

In other words :

MISERY MARKETING and PACKAGING.

See :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses#Rome

Explain this to your husband in your own words, taking examples from your own surroundings. And have him look thru these lenses at what we see everyday on TV.

I promise you he will get curious and will go for his own ways to find out what is going on.

You will strengthen, empower the two of you, mutually.

Keep the faith.

Look around the internet for full speeches of Robert McNamara or Paul Wolfowitz. Make your husband watch them, and see if he still doesn't believe you.
