Their stance on 9/11

The only way three people can keep a secret is to kill one.

I've heard it claimed that the towers were dropped by controlled demolition. The folks at CDI have said it would take about three months and 30 people. Thirty people wandering around with torches and six foot pieces of shaped charges.

Bbethany7The 15 Saudis were recruited to be part of a terrorist exercise directed at the WTC and Pentagon. A U. S. bureaucrat in Riyadh was reluctant to issue visas to any of them. Enter Richard Armitage, a strong-arm thug who held high positions in the State Department and the DOD. He over-rode the diplomat to grease the visa process, thus the 15 Saudis came to the U.S. to participate in a government project. They were trained to be conspicuous in behavior so they could lay down a trail of clues that would be useful after 9/11 was done for real. This entire rigmarole was carefully plotted, with thousands of minute details necessary to its successful execution. Sure enough Americans swallowed the story whole, believing all the manufactured elements that were prepared for the Mass Media to sell the myths of 9/11. It turned out to be an enormous success, spawning not only 2 rogue wars, but fomenting an avalanche of legislation designed to deprive American citizens their historic rights guaranteed by the Constitution. All of this  points to a human trait called "cognitive dissonance", a condition when someone has a long held belief so deeply rooted in their psyche that they cannot see anything else, even if visible facts present themselves that prove contrary to their belief. People don’t want to accept the deaths of nearly 3000 perpetrated by their own “leaders” on 9/11. It also worked on Dec. 7, 1941, the difference being that Japanese DID do the attack after intense provocation, and secret intelligence was withheld from the top Brass in Hawaii as well as the American people, many of whom resisted entry into WW 2 until this event gave them no choice.

Here's what I think.

1. While no one in the Government specifically knew how 9/11 was going to happen (and no one certainly CAUSED it to happen), the secret is Bush and Cheney hoped something like it would happen and probably didn't do a whole lot to ensure it couldn't happen because they had an agenda they wanted to push, which was goose the military industrial complex after the "post Cold War" era had people questioning the necessity of all of America's military might and to put a grip on our civil liberties.

I imagine they assumed it would be something relatively simple like another bombing like what happened in 1993, if they had known the full scale it's possible they would have gotten cold feet, but it says it all that our leaders would be willing to leave America open to a devastating attack simply because they have an agenda.

2. All the 9/11 conspiracy theories about "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" and thermite bombs and drone airplanes and so on and so on was an intentional misinformation campaign (especially the "documentary" Loose Change) to obfuscate the issue and make questioning the official story of 9/11 a matter of loony conspiracy theories rather than fact.
