... kill
enough Americans (but, not
too many) to where the Nation has to stand up, take notice, and get behind a cause. [PNAC,
anyone?]
We've all seen the varying anomolies and arguments (truthers and debunkers, alike) in the OS for believing sinister forces might have been at work
that day: apparent controlled demolitions, absence of critical debris, crappy Pentagon surveillance, missing remains of victims, the true benefactors
of the events revealed, mysteriously appearing pristine passports, undead terrorists, the presence of super-thermite, out of the ordinary stock put
options, and on and on...
And not only the 'How', but also the 'Why': one of which has to be the fact that - whether anyone wants to admit it or not - a
big reason
we are over there (and are all ironically thankful for):
Oil - you see, if we DON'T go over there, gain control of the Afghan pipeline,
and give access to the sea that all those oil-rich, landlocked countries that many
US companies had
major deals cut with - Zoom to 1:20 mark [only 8,000 people have watched this!]... then, we plummet much deeper, much faster, and years
earlier into the economic depression that we've all only just recently started to feel in the last year and a half.
(and, that isn't even the only reason, but I'm not prepared to go down
that rat-hole, here)
BUT... How about concentrating on the actual plot,
itself - I mean, when you really think about it, it was kind of a weak idea: Planes
into buildings? Really? You hate America. You would love nothing more than for all of it's citizens to suffer miserably, before dying a horrible
death... And
this is the best idea you can come up with?!
Pfffffft.
No - these attacks were not meant to hurt Americans, they were merely a symbol - a catalyst, for Ameri
CA.
We all know the CIA is responsible for creating, training, and/or funding virtually 80% of the world's terrorist organizations. (a stat I created
out of thin air just for this argument (but, we all know it's significant, let's just say that))
If you REALLY want to get at America and Americans, you need a "Katrina-esque" type event - where something happens that turns the people in on one
another in a struggle for survival & resources (or, what the terrorists call 'home', but I digress).
Why not go after Hoover Dam, or something. In contrast to the the events of 9/11, VERY different and vastly more effective type of terrorism: less
loss of life, immediately, but watch what happens after 3 states lose most of their drinking water and electricity!
Nevermind the fact, that 1) they haven't launched another attack inside the continental US,
since (not so much as a coffe shop bomber), but 2)
do you
really think we're THAT much safer, and something as simple as a hijacked plane couldn't even be done all over again? I give you...
Joe Stack.
These seem to be the dumbest, most inept evil-doers of all time.
No - they know exactly what they're doing. The 'War on Terror' is a goddamn joke.
Look, I'm not even sure I'm part of the 'no blood for oil' camp - I mean, in tough times, you do what you do to survive, to forge on - we're over
there fighting for the survival of our nation. Of our way of life**. To preserve our way of life is going to take money - lots of it - and, we have
none! Oil is the most valuable commodity on the planet right now. I have no problem with that.
Just grow a pair and be honest about it.
**We comprise less than 5% of the world's population, yet consume 30% of its resources (and produce 30% of its waste)
