It’s admittedly bad form for a talk show host to be rendered virtually speechless during a live broadcast, but it happened to me during Monday’s breathtaking program with Dr. Ted Broer. Dr. Broer was a guest on The Hagmann & Hagmann Report to discuss, among other things, how we can prepare for the coming perilous times with particular focus on our personal health. That topic was sidelined, however, when Dr. Broer related an especially poignant account about being at the side of his elderly mother on September 11, 2001.
His mother was a native of Germany during the time of Hitler’s rise to power. Having passed on, she was a resident in a nursing home as she watched the attacks unfold on the television in front of her. According to Dr. Broer, tears were streaming down his mother’s face as she watched the horrifying scenes play out for the world to see.
Concerned, Dr. Broer comforted his mother. He understood the emotional impact of the scenes she was watching, but sensed something much deeper. He asked her what was wrong. She turned her gaze upon him and replied, in perfect German, a statement that should haunt every rational and thinking person reading this in 2014: “I’ve seen this before. I’ve seen it happen before.”
Taken aback by the deep-seated emotion of his mother combined with the carnage being broadcast all across the world, he engaged her further. She was adamant, repeating in her native language that she had seen this before. The tears continued to stream down her cheeks, originating from the deepest recesses of her inner being.
“What do you mean, Mom?” Dr. Broer gently asked, his attention captured not only by the carnage being broadcast all across the world, but the deep reaction and concern of his mother. Could she be confused, perhaps triggered by the trauma to which she was witnessing?
No, she was not confused, nor was she the slightest bit perplexed by the images she was seeing. For indeed, she had seen it all before.
She told Dr. Broer that history is repeating itself, except now, it is happening right here, right now—to us—in what is supposed to be the beacon of freedom for the world. Her tears were not only for the present, but the past—a past in which she lived. The past cannot be changed, and the present is here before us. We must learn from the past and never forget the truth of previous events.
But it was not the past or the present for which her tears were flowing, but for the future, for she said, “and I know what will happen next.”
Behind her streaming tears also existed the journey of her years, a journey that history books and modern historians cannot do justice. The most important historical context of an event comes not from the pages of academic works, but from those who have lived through seminal events of modern history. The truth rarely emanates from the mouths of political pundits or those captured within the venue of the corporate media, but from those who experienced the event themselves. These survivors provide us precious opportunities to understand what is happening in a manner that cannot be duplicated, yet is squandered by a generation of fools, convoluted by groups with agendas, and forced-fed to an unthinking, unquestioning and intellectually-hobbled populace by a fully compromised media.
“It’s the Reichstag fire all over again,” she told him. “People must understand—they need to know what comes next.” The tears that streamed from her eyes originated from the depth of her soul, for she felt sorrow not just for the victims of 9/11, but for those who would fail to realize that they too would soon become victims of “what happens next.” Today, it is us, our children and future generations of Americans who are the victims. Her warning of “what happens next” is upon us, having arrived like a thief in the night in a household where the residents slumber.
As Dr. Broer related this poignant account along with the incomprehensible implications of her statements, I thought of my own reactions on 9/11 and those of others close to me. Personally and like Dr. Broer, I suspect, I found it inconceivable that any rational person would even attempt to reconcile the events unfolding before us with any so called “false flag” event such as the Reichstag fire. That’s just crazy talk, I once thought, for anyone to even consider the possibility that the attacks of 9/11 were anything except what they appeared to be. After all, our government would never do such a thing and if they did, it would be readily discovered and exposed due to the complexity required to pull off such an event.
Perhaps that describes you then, or maybe even today. I certainly understand, as I was completely convinced of the official version of events in the subsequent days, weeks, months and even years that followed. It took me a long time to come to grips with the reality that there are plots, plans and schemes being perpetrated by criminal elements of our government, just as there are in corporations and other organizations, that have the motive, means and opportunity to pull off an event in such a way that you must dig deep and long to get to the truth. But the truth is there, although you must not only be searching for it, but willing to accept it when you find it.
All of the signs exist that we are no longer living in a world where everything is normal, or where what is happening can be ascribed to pure incompetence by our leaders. To come to this conclusion, however, you must have the intellectual maturity to understand the enormity of the lie, and the courage to confront the lies in the face of personal and professional marginalization.
Some of you have reached this point long before others, yet many have failed to even identify the problems that exist directly in front of us. It is the latter group for whom this writing is intended. I urge you to look at the larger picture, to understand that we are being lied to, and not in any small way. It is only then that you can even begin to prepare for what’s coming.
What is coming, and what’s already here, was seen through the bleary eyes of Dr. Broer’s mother, who shed her tears for us. Now, it’s up to us to face what we’ve allowed to happen, and learn from her tears, so the tears of others might not have to be shed.
