This is not ad- hominem. Just the sad observation. Here's an answer by the opednews commenter Tom Murphy to the question brought up by another commenter Bob Smith about who could benefit from the 9/11 attacks. Please, read attentively.
**********************************************
Bob Smith: Who benefited from these attacks?"( 9/11- MS)
Tom Murphy: Al-Qaeda clearly benefited for having struck a major blow against the Great Satan. Essentially, the mission to which Islamic militants were wedded to with the 1993 WTC bombing was accomplished.
I think, though, that the questioned should be modified to say, "Who benefited from the attacks on the day of the attacks?"
To think that attacks were a false flag operation in the hope that lucrative contracts would be forthcoming in the future – well after 9/11 itself – is ludicrous. The number of variables that were created in the aftermath of 9/11 were so many that it's unlikely anyone could have arrived at conclusion "x" with certainty.
**********************************************
So here we have Tom firmly believing that there is an Al Qaeda and that it benefited from the event. He is thus fully OK with the official version.
Now let's talk about the template. Kamil Ikramov (deceased), son of the prominent Russian - Uzbek Communist Akmal Ikramov writes in his book about his father 'The case of my father' that in 1934 when Sergei Kirov, one of the leaders in the govt was assassinated in Leningrad,he was 7 years old. In a day or two after the assassination the official Russian media thundered about a 'deeply- rooted plot of the former trotskyists and zinovievists' and carnal repressions started including infamous 'accelerated trials' procedure (starklingly similar to the current so- called tribunals in Gitmo- MS). So Kamil remembers that night when his father got a package from the Central Committee with the instructions on what to say about that assassination. Here he writes:
- My dad opened the package, read and then said to my mom , "I don't understand. Who could benefit from all of this? I don't understand."
And then Kamil writes;
- I remember at that moment that I was very surprised, even shocked that my father did not understand what I fully understood. It was clear to me that comrade Kirov was killed by the 'dark forces', lead by the former trotskyists and zinovievists, that comrade Stalin knew what he was doing and that he was the light which lead us to the future. I was shocked to see my dad in doubt, shocked to see that what I, the 7 years' old understood so perfectly he obviously did not understand at all.
I hope whoever reads those two excerpts (Tom Murphy's answer and Kamil Ikramov's reminscence)will notice the remarkable simularity between the ways of thinking of the little boy in Y1934 and the adult in Y2008. Here's your sign, the little boy T.
And here are some consequences. In 1937 Akmal Ikramov was arrested, tortured, put to the mock trial with many others and shot. His wife was arrested, tortured and shot (no trial). His father-in-law was run over by a car in 1943. His brothers all were arrested and sentenced to the hard labor. His only son Kamil was arrested in 1943 when he was 16, tortured by sleep depravation (Hear, hear!) and starvation and sentenced to 5 years in hard labor camps. After doing time he was released, arrested and sentenced again. He was released in 1953. In 1956 he was fully rehabilitated and in 1958 his father and mother were fully exonerated of all charges. At the same time the Special Commission concluded that there was a very strong suspicion that the only person who could benefit from the Kirov's assassination was Joseph Stalin.
Akmal Ikramov lost his health in the camps. In his book he writes:
- We need to show that to everyone so that people could see how evil repeats itself. I am in fear: there seems to be no guarantee that our children will not go through this again.
And now, in the Y2008 we have the liitle boy T who blubbers that A-Qaeda nonsense again, following the official version. Really, folks it does take a village, a world to raise a child properly and how many of them are not properly raised? If only in Russia there was a December 1934 Truth movement. If only..
