“Sheeple” are people that follow blindly and never question their leaders, and like sheep, live by the motto “follow the a**hole in front of you.”

If you suspect that you may belong to this majority flock in the United States, don’t despair. After all, we’ve all been taught since birth that our country is basically good, that our country’s leaders would never intentionally harm us, that they are truthful, lawful and fair, that those secrets they do keep from us are for our own good and safety, etc., and that as patriotic Americans we must always trust our leaders and dutifully accept whatever they determine is best for us and our country. This is not a simple black-or-white condition.

An individual’s “sheepleness” can range from zero — independent, defiant, untrusting, paranoid, radical, violent and/or revolutionary — to 100 percent pure-blood, dyed-in-the-wool.

Our country is great. Our founders, through the Constitution and Bill of Rights, laid the strong and honorable foundation that is the envy of the world. I’m thankful to be a citizen of the United States and am proud of my country. However, our government has been so poisoned by greed and corruption so as to jeopardize it all. And the elected “representatives” and “administrators” of our government couldn’t be more tickled than to watch over a flock of obedient, unquestioning and uninformed sheeple!

While cooperation and conformity are desirable — even necessary, to some extent — for our society, the danger of the “sheeple” mentality is that it is leading to the loss of control of our government and a gradual willing surrender of our freedoms.

I’ll admit that I was moderately infected with the “sheeple parasite” for nearly eight years following Sept. 11, 2001. Fortunately, I have discovered relief for the “common sheeple” — education. Two of my brothers finally persuaded me to watch the video “9/11: Blueprint For Truth” from the research organization Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. This began my personal quest into the overwhelming body of credible evidence that the most outrageous “conspiracy theory” is the “official” fable — that FEMA, The 9/11 Commission and National Institute of Standards and Technology were all used as political instruments of deceit and cover-up, and were a considerable waste of taxpayer funds.

I didn’t have to graze far from the flock to realize that I was not alone — that many millions of concerned people worldwide are looking into this evidence and believe that a new investigation, with subpoena power, is desperately needed to identify and hold accountable those criminals.

The implications of this are staggering, considering all that has happened since 9/11 and “because of 9/11,” including the open-ended “war on terror” with its crippling effects on our economy — debt — the horrific loss of humanity and the surrender of our freedoms for the promise of safety. I urge “sheeple” everywhere to step away from the flock, educate yourselves in this new evidence and join me in demanding the new investigation into the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001.

To be continued.
