What makes some people more powerful than other people?

Consider the teacher, the doctor, and the politician. Their instructions are normally obeyed by their followers, who rarely question their judgment. Is there a common factor shared by teachers, doctors, and politicians – such as “wealth” or “connections” (the classic popular indicators of “power”)? Not exactly, when you consider that teachers and doctors can earn their power through diligent study and other merits. So then, is there a common factor shared by all powerful people? My answer would be…yes, but not wealth, and not connections. The true source of power is knowledge; and, in the particular case of our contemporary political leaders, the abuse of knowledge.

The study of 9-11 is nothing less than a golden key to human liberation. Liberation means freedom; and freedom includes both the right, and the responsibility, to make personal and community decisions. Are we ready for that? In my opinion, we are almost ready, but not quite. First, we need to say “yes,” and energetically continue our efforts to spread the liberating truth about the 9-11 events. By distributing power to the people, we will reduce the power of the elite classes, laying the foundation for a wholesale power-shift, when the knowledgeable population reaches a critical mass. At that point, we shall be obliged to replace the deceptive and manipulative institutions which have previously guided our existence. While we deserve to celebrate our new-found power with joy and relief, we should also prepare ourselves for our new responsibilities as a self-governing community.
