Whether it's an Oswald, or an Osama, the folks will always be accepting of the government's preposterous claims of Lone Killers, or nefarious supervillains , it seems. They need to stop watching things that subconsciously lead them to believe such things make sense.

If those "Islamo Terror"fiends had the power to send out these highly trained cells to commit such elaborate and unprecedented acts of "war" (that "Pearl Harbor like" dealy ready-made for the Project for a New American Century gentleman), why is it that those automatic scoffers at all things Conspiracy-ish , think the Americans could not have done it, when they are the only ones with means to carry out the day of 9/11 and it's aftermath with such deliberateness (which the newscasters made a special point of repeating on that day: it was all done with such Click-click-click precision).
Thinking about 9/11 (or war and occupations, and other hideous matters) with an open mind doesn't mean opening up your head to every impossible-sounding idea about drone planes and Tomahawk missiles, et al..It does mean giving equal weight to the speculative ideas until you can prove it otherwise .
Especially when no convincing official story has been put forth to dispel doubts about Bush/Cheney's covert motives behind war. 'Til then, you're another paranoid nut with a hidden agenda, to deny the possibility of an encroaching fascist dictatorship in the West.
Of corse, namecalling hardly helps -be it Wingnut, Swizzelstick, or Fascistbootlicker- in bringing to light who is really culpable for the 9/11 attacks,etc...
Yet it's all a helpless mess now, that Habeas Corpus is gone in my country.
As your politicians are little more than lackeys for ours now, I'd understand why you'd want to be disbelieving of any speculation that could lead you down dark troubled avenues. But that's where we're all headed, I'm afraid.
Maybe we should all stop sifting through the ashes of the recent past and take focus on the not-to-distant past of the 1930's and how it relates to our present and so forth.
How much easier it must be to believe the narratives of Papa Nation, So difficult to stay awake when capping every day with The Stories.

George and Tony Get their al-Qaeda Fix
Monday, July 11, 2005
By Greg Palast

The tooth fairy, Santa Clause, WorldCom profits, the Easter Bunny, al-Qaeda.

The cruel, evil jerks who blew up the London subway last week, despite appropriating
al-Qaeda's name for their website and T-shirts, have about as much to do with al-Qaeda
as a Beatles tribute band has to do with the Fab Four.

For all the horror, hoopla and hair-pulling, this was no September 11. Timmy McVeigh
slaughtered a heck of a lot more people in Oklahoma City with his cow-poop bomb.

I'm not belittling the heartbreaking hideousness of this crime, but let's get the
facts straight. If al-Qaeda is the Panzer Division of terrorism, these London bombers
were terrorism's Cub Scouts. We're talking a few pounds of nitro wired to a clock
-- a design badly copied off the Internet.

A witness watched some Arabic-looking teenager nervously checking his bag on a bus
which, London's un-hysterical police now believe, he accidentally triggered, blowing
apart himself and a bunch of unlucky commuters.

Al-Qaeda this ain't. All the evidence is that this half-assed attack was the work
of some poor young Muslim schmucks, possibly whipped into a frenzy by the mewling
mullah of Finsbury Park, Omar Bakri Mohammed, a cleric who enjoyed the comfortable
middle-class dullness of England during the week while on weekends preaching, "a
9/11, day after day after day" to punish his Western hosts.

It's not al-Qaeda, but for George and Tony, it's good enough. Blair's Foreign Secretary
dramatically dashed out to tell us that the explosions had the "hallmarks of
al-Qaeda." Our Commander in Chief, looking as commanding as possible (no reading
of kiddie stories this time), could not have been more satisfied.

The "hallmarks of al-Qaeda"? That's not true and Blair knows it. And Bush
knows it. And that's no little matter, my friends.

Because Blair and Bush are al-Qaeda junkies. They've sold us on everything from
fingerprinting five-year olds to invading Baghdad to tolerating plummeting paychecks
all on the slick line that we are under attack by a well-trained, well-armed, well-funded
hidden army called al-Qaeda.

But our War President and War Prime Minister are having a little problem with their
war on terror. The enemy's gone AWOL. Except when we go LOOKING for trouble -- as
in invading a Mesopotamian country -- trouble pretty much stopped looking for us.

Even September 11. Forgive me for pointing this out, but no matter how horrific,
it was in the end the deed of a couple dozen fundamentalist fruitcakes with box-cutters
hankering for a hot time with virgins in the next life who got "lucky."

Yes, unlike the London attack, the "luck" of the September 11 hijackers
required the sick genius of monied operatives and a Washington administration that
operated with eyes wide shut toward Saudi gangsterism.

But now al-Qaeda's luck's run out, not because Bush has us taking off our shoes
in airports, but because, overwhelmingly, Muslims in this world really have no attraction
to killing kids or commuters.

For Bush and Blair, organized terror's diminishing powers was a political problem
-- until last week, when the al-Queda addicts of the White House and Downing Street
got a new terror fix. Even if it wasn't the real al-Qaeda, it was enough for them
to mainline into the body politic a big, fat dose of fear.

Now, with world media all jumped up on its latest fear high, Bush and Blair can
resume their sales pitch: more weaponry, less liberty.

FDR calmed a nation when he said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
But the Bush and Blair slogan is, "We have nothing to sell but fear itself."

15)The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the
Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy book:
"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The
wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah while some
of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the
Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."
That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

16)Open Microsoft Word and do the following:
Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
Highlight this:- Q33 NY
Change the font size to 48.
Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS

What do you think now?!!
Hang on a sec.....

I'll ask the 11 Reds under my bed.......

Wise, I haven't seen any proclivity for Truth Telling to be the province of gov't or non-gov't individuals.

As a spin-off to 9/11 and the subsequent invasion of Iraq, there is also controversy now surrounding missing US funds.
A BBC Radio investigation has revealed that of all the funds sent to Iraq to help pay for the countries reconstruction it is estimated that an amount of over $8 BILLION of American funds cannot be accounted for. Meaning that this huge amount has simply gone missing.
Through a mixture of mismanagement, fraud, bad auditing and plain incompetance the money trail cannot be found.
Experts who have been asked to probe into the lost funds have hit a brick wall.

The question is who or what organisations (American or otherwise) have pocketed the money?

It has also been claimed that millions of dollars gained from the Iraqi oil production are also unaccounted for.

While soldiers die in battle, some people are getting richer from the turmoil in Iraq.

Dave.

I'm wondering how much the Private Sector is responsible for the wholesale slaughter of "insurgents", and so on.
The official Boys there should take only a little of the blame, never eclipsing the real perpetrator's who are keeping Iraq in chaos.

Well each private contractor has a whole load of "bodyguards", many of whom seem to be little more than mercenaries, answerable to nobody. Mind you, the contractors don't seem to be answerable to anyone either - except Mr Halli & Mr Burton.

Horrible to laugh at that, But I did!.
Well, I have a neighbor who has a new Hummer. He cut down a Torry Pine tree (native and rare here) on a fellow neighbors property --I tell no lie!
If Dick could get only these Hummer owners to fight Over There, I would eat my boots. These miserable craven locusts have only one agenda:
Destroy all that hinders their myopic, monumental selfishness.
