Immortal Technique speaks the truth.

In the song Tell The Truth by Immortal Technique he talks about the attack of 9/11 and how he thinks that George Bush planned everything. This is important because some people are not loud enough to talk about this and he has the guts to make a song about this. This song and video are making a big controversy because some people believed in the same opinion that Immortal Technique has. Even though this happened 9 years ago there are still many people that are talking about the twin tower bombing being an attack or a plan. In the song Tell The Truth by Immortal Technique he talks about the government planning the whole 9/11 bombing and i totally agree with very single thing he says. this song could maybe change peoples mind about the "attack" or maybe bring them closer to believing in what he talks about. What Immortal Technique is pretty much trying to say is that George Bush planned the 9/11 bombing and how the politicians are blaming everything on terrorism and i don't think its right and neither does Immortal Technique.

In the first verse he talks about how being in America is like being covered in leeches and that the "drown" you in the propaganda speeches. He says that if you talk about the evil that the government does then the Patriot act will track you down to your blood. He also said that the would try to frame you and say you were selling drugs and give you a federal indictment for people who were doing good deeds. He says that the politicians are fake and the care about them selves and not the American citizens. Then he talks about the terrorism the put on television and that they blame the Muslim religion even though Bin Laden was a CIA tactician, when they gave him billions of dollars and funded his purpose. He says in his second verse that if another country came to the USA there would be war in Harlem and in Washington heights. he also says if there was a war he would be fighting for the US he would be fighting for the other countries and he wouldn't fight for the racist churches in the south but for the occupation to be out. He said that Saddam Hussein did have chemical weapons but we sold him that after Ronald Reagen's election. He goes on to talk about more but i could not put any of it on this blog because it is not appropriate.

If you notice the words in the hook he is saying that it was George Bushs fault, which is one way i am trying to show that he is saying that the government plan 9/11 and Bin Laden had nothing to do with it. In the first verse of the song he says "The dirty water that bleaches your soul and your facial features, drownin' you in propaganda that they spit through the speakers" which means that the government is just saying lies about Iraqis or anyone else from the middle east. People say that what Immortal Technique raps about is unacceptable or they say that its not right for him to rap about these things but last time i check people do have rights and one of those rights is freedom of expression. which means that any one could express their opinions and thats exactly what Immortal Technique is doing.

I started listening to Immortal Technique during my freshmen year and realized that he rapped about the real world. While other people sung about useless things such as getting famous for the money, he voiced his opinions strongly about the world with powerful messages behind his lyrics. I'm glad someone wrote about one of his songs because he really does speak his mind and a lot of the time, it's the straight forward truth. I agree with you all the way on this song. It shouldn't take someone with the guts to say something to make people think about what happened and consider all of the possibilities. 9/11 was a complete hoax in my opinion and I'm glad Immortal Technique practices freedom of expression openly. Right or wrong, he makes sense and that's all that matters to me. This is definitely not mind pollution nor unacceptable.

I believe that whatever comes out of Immortal's mouth is the truth that the government has been hiding from us. If the government can tap into our phones and listen to our private conversations, why can't they hide things from us. Such examples would be the September 11 attacks. His views express how president Bush planned out the September 11 attacks and tried to cover it up from the media. Speaking the truth is a great deal which the government considers wrong when exposing the truth!

Oh come on. I'm all for freedom of expression but I don't get how people are taking his opinion as gospel. I don't have a problem with him expressing himself. Hell this is the first I've heard of him. But let's look at some facts before we start condemning the government because some guy said to.
