All things are out of our control.
God has set time in motion and it will progress as it has been set.
His reasons for the progression of these events we survive to see is beyond our knowledge and even further beyond our comprehension.
In this age in the U.S.A., nothing is certain. Everything we see, here, or read is subject to censorship. We hear about censorship of media in far off countries like Korea and Saudi Arabia, and we shake our heads, slack-jawed and incredulous at such violation of rights of humanity, when right here on our turf, we have no choice in anything that reaches our own minds.
Everything we learn may be twisted, perverted, or completely false and we would never know it.
But when we know that what we hear is lies, what is there to do about it? What choice do we have but to hear the lies and see the propaganda? And when the opportunity arises for us to stop it, what will we do?

Perspective is everything.
The men that flew our passenger airplanes into the World Trade Center were terrorists in our minds. In the eyes of our nation, those men were monstrous, emotionless killers that murdered our countrymen and destroyed our buildings. They shook us to the core and filled us with hate.
On the other hand, to their own countrymen and to the people behind them who supported them, they were heroes. They were the men brave enough to give everything up for what they believed in. According to what we've been spoon-fed through the media, they are also subject to lies and censoring, but what matters is that they were willing to die for what they stood for. They were willing to throw this world away for a cause, which is more than most Americans can say for themselves.
When our government has become the Nazi party and our president Hitler himself, and our only source of security and order is only the most corrupt and despicable of entities, what will we do? When some lunatic gets on a stage and cries for a revolution and deep in the abysses of our hearts we know his cause is just, how will we fight back the fear that threatens our freedom? How will we forsake our safety and security for the greater good?

Nothing is in our control.
Everything we see, hear, or read is subject to being perverted so that we may believe the way the ruling power wants us to.
All that is left to us is to decide what is right and how to act on that knowledge.
We can only hope that when the time comes, we will know.
