http://911debunkers.blogspot.com/2008/10/debunking-myths-on-conspiracy-theories.htmlMany people subconsciously make the mistake of only seeing the issues concerning 9/11 in black and white, as opposed to shades of gray. This is known as the black-or-white fallacy. In this case, the false dilemma is: 9/11 was either carried out by Al-Qaeda or it was "an inside job."

Just because the evidence suggests that rogue elements of the US government and intelligence apparatus, as well as other international intelligence agencies, were involved, doesn't mean bin Laden and Al-Qaeda hijackers weren't involved.

In the fight to uncover the truth about 9/11 we must contend with individuals and groups that distort, omit and lie about important details in order to defend the official narrative - the 911 truth debunkers.

 

The NORAD-stand-down, various whistleblowers ("debunkers" just assert they are all confused lying with no basis), and peer-reviewed studies of the physical evidence centered around the destruction of the 3 World Trade Center Buildings in New York, make a strong case that the attacks involved substantial inside help.

“I think it’s implausible to believe that 19 people, most of whom didn’t speak English, most of whom had never been in the United States before, many didn’t have a high school education, could have carried out such a complicated task without some support from within the United States”
Former Sen. Bob Graham on 60-Minutes 



We might be wrong about where we suspect this all leads, but the "debunkers" are wrong when many essentially argue that it's acceptable for 70% of 9/11 family members questions to have never been answered by the 9/11 Commission. So of course, most have no qualms about promises made to 9/11 family members being broken by the Commission to investigate all whistleblower claims, which a substantial amount of the public find highly-suspicious at minimum, with many regarding the evidence as suggestive of complicity to varied degrees.

The below link proves that many thousands of family members want a new investigation. Likely the amount of people killed that day is outnumbered by these 9/11 victim's family members.

Unsurprisingly, the duh-bunk-turds hate even the best of the "Loose Change" films, but loose ends are no biggie.

The Washington Post reported on August 2, 2006 that:
Suspicion of wrongdoing ran so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission sources... "We to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us," said Thomas H. Kean, the former New Jersey Republican governor who led the commission. 'It was just so far from the truth. . . . It's one of those loose ends that never got tied."
So, if 9/11 didn't have an inside element, what's to stop such a scenario from taking place in the future when we get investigations that have attributes like these? 

It is therefore the purpose of this website to rebut the hollow claims of the so-called 911 truth "debunkers" and clarify what is known about the attacks for the benefit of those following the debate and also for the largely uninformed public. This site now features 9/11 truth related and not-so-related content. So please utilize our search feature (found also on the sidebar) to find a massive treasure trove of well-researched info on nearly every issue in the realm of 9/11 truth debate.

Ad hominems will be ignored, but well-formed rebuttals may be addressed (and that is a subjective matter) provided we have not refuted the points therein numerous times on this blog already.

We Can Afford Reparations, Disability Benefits, and More — If We Stop Choosing War: How the War Economy and Cultural Subversion Keep Us Trapped

We Can Afford Reparations, Disability Benefits, and More — If We Stop Choosing War: How the War Economy and Cultural Subversion Keep Us Trapped

Most Americans accept the military budget without question, but balk at reparations for Black descendants of slavery or the cost of disability benefits. The truth? We’re already spending trillions on war and weapons—money that could fully fund reparations and disability payments for a decade, while rebuilding our communities and healing the nation. This isn’t a fantasy or political wishful thinking. It’s cold, hard math.

$25 Trillion and Counting: The Price of War Since World War II

Since 1945, the U.S. has spent over $25 trillion on military operations, from Korea and Vietnam to Iraq, Afghanistan, and proxy wars like Ukraine. This includes weapons, personnel pay and benefits, military infrastructure, and related expenses.

  • Personnel costs alone—wages, housing, pensions, veterans’ healthcare, and schooling—account for roughly 30% of the defense budget, or about $7.5 trillion since WWII. (Source: Brown University Costs of War Project)

  • But what does this massive investment buy? Tens of thousands of combat deaths, millions more wounded physically and mentally, and over 30,000 veteran suicides since 2001—more than four times the number killed in combat. (Sources: U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs; Brown University)

Proxy Wars: The Hidden Continuation of the War Economy

Proxy wars, including the ongoing funding of Ukraine’s conflict, add billions yearly to this total. These wars extend the military-industrial complex’s reach, destabilizing regions while draining taxpayer money domestically. The $25 trillion figure does not include every recent expenditure, and the costs continue to rise with little public debate.

The Human Fallout: Veteran Suicides, Homelessness, and Toxic Legacy

  • An average of 22 veterans die by suicide every day, making suicide a leading cause of death for those who have served. (Source: VA statistics)

  • Many suffer PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and moral injury from combat, but lack adequate care. Veterans constitute 13% of the homeless population while making up only 6% of the total U.S. population.

  • The 9/11 health crisis alone has caused at least 20,000 deaths due to cancers and respiratory diseases linked to toxic exposure, with an estimated $16 billion in medical and productivity losses.

Reparations vs. War Spending: The Stark Contrast

  • Conservative estimates for reparations to African Americans descended from slaves range around $12 trillion.

  • Ten years of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments would cost roughly $1.5 trillion.

Combined, this is about $13.5 trillion—a figure dwarfed by trillions already spent on military ventures that neither repair nor protect the country’s most vulnerable.

Cultural Subversion: How the Music Industry and Private Prisons Profit from Violence

The connection between the military-industrial complex and the prison-industrial complex is no accident.

Ice Cube has admitted that groups like N.W.A. were nudged toward gangster rap themes by industry pressures — content that glamorized violence and criminality while obscuring other messages they might have wanted to share. Later, it was revealed that many executives pushing this music had direct financial ties to private prisons, profiting from incarceration rates fueled by the very cultural narratives they promoted.

Kurt Metzger, in his recent podcast interview, pointed out how this extends into drill rap culture. He described drill rap as a form of sigil magic — a ritualistic, symbolic language that influences energy and behavior, driving cycles of violence and despair. When artists like Lil Durk try to turn their lives around, they face suspicion, backlash, or worse — as if the system punishes healing and rewards chaos.

MK Ultra and Monarch Programming: The Covert Mind Control Legacy

Metzger also revealed a crucial insight: the long-rumored Monarch MK Ultra files—documents proving decades of psychological programming and mind control experiments—were quietly declassified a couple of years ago. Yet, the mainstream barely noticed because the news was drowned out by sensational headlines about Tic-Tac UFOs.

As Metzger put it:

“I used to talk about Monarch programming and MK Ultra, and people called me crazy. Then when it finally was declassified, even I didn’t notice at first—it was buried under the Tic-Tac UFO story. The gaslight is so thick, you could suffocate in it.”

This is a classic reveal-and-distract tactic: disclosing uncomfortable truths while simultaneously flooding the media with distractions.

Jeremy Rys (AlienScientist) and the Tic-Tac UFO Psy-Op

The UFO hype surrounding the Tic-Tac sightings isn’t just random or innocent curiosity. Jeremy Rys, known as AlienScientist and a respected UFO researcher, explained on the Concrete Podcast with Danny Jones that the Tic-Tac phenomenon likely represents satellite-based holographic projection technology or advanced plasma weapons systems — not extraterrestrials.

This technology serves as a psychological operation (psy-op) to misdirect public attention from deeper, more disturbing realities like covert mind control programs and systemic social manipulation.

The Path Forward: Investing in Peace, Reparations, and Healing

Imagine redirecting even a fraction of the trillions spent on war into:

  • Feeding millions of hungry families
  • Providing comprehensive disability care and mental health support
  • Rebuilding infrastructure with clean energy, creating millions of jobs
  • Funding education that empowers rather than divides
  • Supporting community health initiatives that heal and protect

These aren’t pie-in-the-sky dreams—they are achievable if the nation shifts priorities.

As Tupac Shakur famously said,

“We have money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.”

This blunt truth still echoes. The money exists; the problem is the choice to spend it on destruction, profit, and control rather than repair and justice.

God’s Drugs and Human Struggles: A Biblical and Logical Case for Discernment, Not Condemnation


God’s Drugs and Human Struggles: A Biblical and Logical Case for Discernment, Not Condemnation



Introduction

Is it possible that some of the most misunderstood substances on earth were actually given to us by God?

In today’s Christian world, discussions around drug use are often cut-and-dry: don’t do it. Full stop. But what happens when someone finds relief from chronic painfreedom from depression, or even a deep spiritual awakening through something that grows from the earth? Is it really rebellion—or could it be part of God's provision, misused only when taken without reverence or wisdom?

This article presents a biblical and logical case for discernment over blanket condemnation. From cannabis to kratom, from wine to sacred mushrooms and coca leaves, we’ll explore what the Bible says, what it doesn’t, and why believers need more compassion—and less judgment—when walking alongside those who struggle.


1. God Gave the Herbs (Genesis 1:29)

"Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed... to you it shall be for meat." — Genesis 1:29, KJV

From the beginning, God gave humanity dominion over the earth—and that includes plants. While this verse specifically mentions seed-bearing herbs and fruit-bearing trees, it suggests a gift of nature from a loving Creator for our use and survival. Many believers point to this as a scriptural basis for the use of cannabis and other natural substances for healing and inspiration.

Fungi like mushrooms, while not seed-bearing, are still part of God's creation. There is no biblical passage stating that Satan created psychedelic mushrooms or that their existence is a temptation by default. In fact, many people describe deep, transformative spiritual encounters with them—encounters that brought them closer to God, not farther.


2. Wine and the Walk of Faith

Wine has always played a complex role in scripture. Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding in Cana (John 2:1–12), and Isaiah 55:1 calls, “Come, buy wine without money.” Clearly, wine was not only accepted but celebrated in some contexts.

Yet scripture also warns against drunkenness (Proverbs 20:1, Ephesians 5:18), showing that the danger lies not in the substance itself but in the loss of vigilance and self-control.

The Apostle Paul gives believers a timeless principle in 1 Corinthians 10:31:

“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”

This isn’t just a guideline for what goes into your body—it’s about your motive, your awareness, and your heart posture. If what you use, eat, or experience draws you closer to God or helps you serve others better, it may serve a righteous purpose. But if it clouds your spirit or weakens your witness, it's worth reevaluating.


3. Pharmakeia vs. Natural Use

The word pharmakeia—used in Galatians 5:20 and Revelation 18:23—is often translated as sorcery or witchcraft, but it is directly tied to the deceptive use of drugs and potions. This biblical warning focuses on practices that enslave or control others through mind-altering substances—not natural medicine used for healing.

Many interpret this as a warning against modern pharmaceuticals: synthetic drugs that come with long lists of side effects and addictive qualities. In contrast, many natural substances—used humbly and intentionally—can offer healing without compromising the soul.


4. Heart Over Habit: Grace for the Vulnerable

Romans 3:23 reminds us: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” We all struggle. We all fall. Some take the Lord’s name in vain, others overeat or isolate. Some rely on substances—not for thrill-seeking—but to function.

The old saying “God loves babies and drunks” isn’t in scripture, but its spirit aligns with Psalm 116:6, “The Lord preserves the simple.” God’s mercy is not reserved only for the strong or self-disciplined—it’s for the vulnerable, the anxious, the broken.


5. Vigilance as Spiritual Armor (1 Peter 5:8)

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."

This is often used to argue for total abstinence. But spiritual sobriety is about claritywatchfulness, and readiness—not legalism. Many who are sober in body are lost in mind or spirit. And sometimes, healing herbs help bring that clarity back.

If a natural substance helps someone stay connected to God, maintain empathy, and resist despair, it may actually fortify their vigilance—not weaken it.


6. Kratom: Healing and Caution

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical plant traditionally used in Southeast Asia. Known for its ability to reduce pain, kratom is also widely used for boosting energylifting depression, and helping people wean off harmful opioids.

After breaking a rib, the author of this piece found natural kratom leaf more effective than oxycodone. Even when facing withdrawal from extracts, a taper using the raw leaf brought balance and recovery.

When used with wisdom and faith, kratom reflects a central biblical theme: natural healing is a gift when not twisted into excess.


7. Coca Leaves: The Line Between Use and Abuse

The coca plant (Erythroxylum coca) has long been used by indigenous peoples in South America to combat fatigueease altitude sickness, and support physical labor—without intoxication.

In countries like Peru and Bolivia, it’s common to be handed a bag of coca leaves or coca tea when you arrive by plane, especially in cities like Cusco or La Paz. It’s seen not as a drug, but as medicine—a safe and sacred tradition.

Cocaine, on the other hand, is a refined chemical distortion of that plant, bringing destruction and addiction. The difference between use and abuse, between natural and synthetic, is often the difference between God’s gift and man’s corruption.


8. Controversial Perspectives: Psychedelic Plants and Spiritual Awakening

Many ancient cultures—Native American, Amazonian, and others—have used psychedelic plants like peyoteayahuasca, and psilocybin mushrooms in sacred ceremonies to heal trauma and experience the divine.

John Allegro’s The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross suggested early Christianity may have symbolically encoded such usage. While controversial, the idea resonates with a common testimony: people often walk away from such experiences more humblegrateful, and connected to God.

The Bible doesn’t mention mushrooms directly—but if the fruit is spiritual insight, compassion, and transformation, maybe we shouldn’t dismiss the root.


Conclusion

“God’s drugs”—whether cannabis, kratom, wine, coca leaves, or mushrooms—are not inherently sinful. They are tools, and like all tools, can be misused or redeemed. The key lies in the heart, the effect, and the alignment with God's glory.

This isn’t an invitation to reckless indulgence. It’s a plea for biblical honestycompassion, and discernment.

So before you condemn someone for what they use to stay afloat, remember:

Some of the most powerful testimonies don’t come from the perfect…
They come from people who were broken, struggling, maybe even high—
And still found God anyway.
