What great fortune for leaders...

...that the people do not think.

At face value, assuming the events of 9/11 were indeed a bona-fide attack by "genuine" terrorists, then the actions of our government and military officials seem senseless, idiotic, incompetent, dictatorial, fascist, whatever ad nauseum.  However, when one assumes nothing and studies 9/11 in context, the context of history that is, then a very different picture emerges and it makes perfect sense.

Lets not forget that long before Dubya admitted to being uninterested in Bin Laden he effectively cancelled the FBI's investigation into 9/11 by ordering all of their resources directed at solving the anthrax attacks.  Let's not forget the source of the anthrax was determined to be own military bioweapons lab, that the case remains unsolved (supposedly unsolved) and very conveniently the FBI's 9/11 investigation has yet to resume.  Let's also remember all of the ignored pre-9/11 warnings that something was about to take place, and the alleged "confusion" during the 9/11 attack.  There are many indicators that our fearless leaders really had no interest in Bin Laden or "Al Qaeda" from the very begining, and that's before 9/11.

So why is that, and all rest since then?  First let's realize that our own fearless leaders, and those who back them -- our true commanders-in-chief, have done to us way more damage than any "terrorists" ever have, and perhaps more damage than any genuine terrorist could ever even imagine.  Are our "leaders" really THAT incompetent???  NO!, not at all, they are very shrewd, cunning, educated people and their actions are well planned and dead-on target.  Just look at all the carnage they're brought down upon us so far, and the hell that'll be raining down upon us in the years to come.  Adolf Hitler is credited with the following:

"Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination.  This is the war of the future."

Indeed it is.  What's stupid is: Our unwavering belief that our fearless leaders are simply incompetent morons blundering around aimlessly; Our outright refusal to consider any possibility that we might be under attack from within; Our automatic condemnation of all who even suggest the official version of 9/11 might be mythical.  Albert Einstein is credited with the following:

"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance."

It is precisely our own such ignorance that would allow such an attack to continue and ultimately be successful.  Obviously an investigation of the perpetrator, by the perpetrator, for the perpetrator will result in a favorable conclusion, so why do we blindly accept such an investigation as gospel?  Friedrich von Hayek is credited with the following:

"Historical myths have perhaps played nearly as great a role in shaping opinion as historical facts."

We, the human race, have been here before.  Have we STILL not learned anything from history?

"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence -- on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.  It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.  Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined.  Its dissenters are silenced, not praised.  No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.  It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match."

  --  John F. Kennedy, Waldorf-Astoria Hotel New York City, April 27, 1961

(Obviously this guy was some kind of fruitcake conspiracy-nut!)

Let's remember how a magician performs his magic: With smoke and mirrors.  It's not real.  Understand it for what it is, an illusion, and it all makes perfect sense.

You, Co6aka,

have hit the proverbial nail squarely on the head...

Bin Laden, according to the CIA operative leading the siege of Tora Bora, was surrounded... on three sides... the fourth side opening on the Pakistani hinterland.

The cell phone calls from Barbara Olsen to Solicitor General Ted Olsen from flight 77, which Ted talked about on the afternoon of september 11 on national TV, court documents in the Moussoui trial from the FBI are clear... the calls never took place.

Real life fire tests of four truss systems of the same type as the World Trade Center towers were fire tested by NIST in a furnace that stressed the trusses with hotter flames for a longer period of time... no collapse. When the same data was input into NIST computer simulations...no collapse. When "tweaked" data was input... collapse.

The great fortunes of our leaders are fortunes of their own making. And the VERY big question now, which will likely be answered sometime between now and November, having taken the spoils, can we be sure they will be so willing to go gently into retirement and walk away from what they have wrought? Paul Craig Roberts, Reagan's Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, doesn't think so. Pick a city, any city... Shock and awe worked on the American people the first time, let's see if we can fool them twice.

Bin Laden stated

In 1992, I believe, he said that he would bring America to it's knees financially. Well, are we broke or what? Sen. Feingold takes the letter (copy) with him every where and he read it on Washington Journal on Cspan the other morning.

I do believed that OBL won and Bush by his side, made it happen. Remember, the Bush's and fire eating Cheney were buds with the bin Ladens.

So, what should we do about it? Congress is in knee deep with war investments. They won't stop it. They make tonnes of money on the Military Industrialized Complex that Eisenhower WARNED about.

The terrorists are US !

That's a hard truth to swallow, but the longer Americans remain in denial, the worse it will get. Already we are precariously close to losing (the rest of) our Freedoms; all they need now is another "Tri-Fecta" and the Police State will be upon us as they begin bombing Iran, who will be blamed for another Neocon/Mossad false-flag attack. 

Who knows, maybe they'll hit DC this time with a dirty bomb; a good excuse to move the capitol to, say, Texass, already dubbed the "Western Whitehouse". (Conveniently more centrally-located for the new "North American Union" BS they're secretly planning as we speak.)

The election will be worse than a sad joke that makes us think we're still a Democracy; it'll be canceled entirely!

Do you knw what you are talkign about

"On September 13, 2001 President Bush stated, “The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him.”

 "six months to the day Bush made the comment about finding bin Laden, he said, “I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.” 

Phony quotes. Bush said neither. The second bears only a slight resemblance to what he did say.

"By then, we had our nationalistic blinders on and President Bush was successfully using the politics of fear to keep Americans in line. With a misguided sense of ‘patriotism’ we gave up our civil rights so that our leaders could keep us safe. "

We've given up nothing.

"In October of 2002, Congress voted to give George Bush the power to unilaterally attack Iraq without so much as taking the time to verify and question the ‘facts’ used to justify the invasion:"That Saddam Hussein was somehow involved in 9-11,"

No one used that as a "fact" to justify the invasion.

"that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (WMD)"

Which they did.

"and that Iraq tried to purchase yellowcake uranium from Niger."

What President Bush said was that the BRITISH government said that Saddam and his Iraqi government tried to buy yellow cake uranium from Nigeria. I don’t remember him saying that they actually were able to buy it. It really doesn’t matter whether they were successful or not in this specific instance. The point the President was trying to make was that Saddam was actively trying to get yellow cake all the while under UN sanctions. There was intent, and that was enough to depose his government. I’d have to look at the exact text of what Wilson said, but my impression is that Wilson said Iraq never met with Niger to buy yellow cake. If that is indeed what he said, it is directly refuted by his own testimony and Wilson should be prosecuted for perjury.

"Then we have the matter of torture. The United States has no business singling out nations like China and Cuba for human rights abuses when our president has violated (and continues to violate) the terms of the Geneva Convention"

The Geneva Conviention is not a one way document. That is, it doesnt apply to people or countries that are not signatories to that document. We are not required to enforce the Geneva convention when dealing with those who arent. The terrorists we are "torturing" do not represent their respective governments (that is, a captured terrorist in Iraq may be a citizen of Saudi Arabia, but is not a soldier of his country), and, because they do not represent any specific governments, the terrorists do not have uniforms of the military of the countries from where they are citizens. They wear civilian clothes. According to the Geneva convention, we have the right to shoot them by firing squad upon their capture.
