CNBC reports a plane has hit the World Trade Center in NY. No details...

[HalfIrish]

Yep

[afraidfortherepublic]

Yep

I think that answer was to my question, "were you the first to mention osama bin Laden?" If so, what made you think of him? I'd never heard of him before the Twin Towers came tumbling down.

cannot believe this thread is still active.

I've been asked privately in FReepmail more than a few times why I fingered bin-Laden as the prime suspect. I never completely answered because too many people are walking around in complete denial of what their government is capable of. My explanantion here is likely to raise a few hackles.

There was a subtle but noticeable increase in the discussion of bin-Laden in the few weeks before the strike. I figured they were greasing public opinion so they could assassinate the guy and the few left-wing idiots who might complain would get less traction with their whining.

The very moment that terrorism became the likely cause of the WTC tragedy, the proverbial light bulb turned on and the words, "a-ha!" escaped my lips.

I am an unapologetic believer in conspiracies within our government. There is no such thing as a major US political party that can be trusted. The cult of personality can worship Bush as the new Reagan all they want but even their hero Limbaugh admits he's far from it.

Is bin-Laden a terrorist deserving of assassination? I believed so before 9-11 and I believe so now.

But I still wonder what, if anything he had to do with 9-11? There are certain very powerful interests who needed us to accept the idea of our boys dying over there.

Well, they got what they wanted and now we've been sucked into someone else's war. When the Democrats retake the White House in 2004, don't bother to gnash your teeth about it. Bush is Schwarzenegger with a better spin machine anyway.

AGREE.......All power is BOUGHT or BLACKMAILED by the real string pullers on the planet..

...why I fingered bin-Laden as the prime suspect...But I still wonder what, if anything he had to do with 9-11?

You are prescient and offer an interesting line of reasoning. But do you contradict yourself? After all, bin Laden and his cohorts have taken credit for 9/11.

I missed the news accounts you reference --- probably because I was preparing for a trip to Ireland (not paying attention) where I was when the towers were hit. Although I agree that there are dark forces at work in all governments, I don't know if I can agree with your assessment of Bush.

[HalfIrish]

It was obvious to me that he'd be the top suspect named by our gov't. They greased the skids beforehand. Just a coincidence that they wanted to raise awareness of bin-Laden the week before the attack? Hey, maybe he's just being a good team player by giving the spooks a convenient and compelling reason to make us accept permament crisis status. Roosevelt used the permament crisis ruse to start the ball rolling and now GWB's handlers are finishing it. And all the while the faithful cheer. Rah rah.

You certainly have changed your theme since the beginning of this old thread. Do you remember little things like Clinton turning down the Sudanese government's offer to hand over bin Laden? Osama yo momma. But Clinton was part of the government long-term conspiracy, no doubt.

And the bombings around the world since 9/ll, like in Bali, have all been attributed to al-Queda, or at least other Muslim terrorists groups, but no doubt, the U.S. government was involved in all those attacks. Al-Queda and the other Muslims groups have been such good team players in taking credit, in order to "grease the skids" so your spooks can continue their plans for the U.S.

The two World Trade Center Towers were destroyed by U.S. airplanes hijacked by some organization. Who do YOU suspect? Step right up and buy a Conspiracy ticket. The Mossad are suspected by millions of Muslims and Europeans, for instance, and you seem to think the U.S. government was involved in some way in the jet-bombing of the World Trade Center Tower although you don't say how. Every conspiracy theorist has his own monster in the closet or under the bed, and only vague accusations are required.

Just a coincidence that they wanted to raise awareness of bin-Laden the week before the attack?

RAISE attention of bin-Laden the week before? Why the hell did YOU remember him on 9/ll? He was the guy everyone in Europe, Africa, and even the U.S. knew was behind several bombings, including the U.S.S. Cole, and two U.S. embassies in Africa during Clinton's administration. He was the fricking #1 terrorist leader in the world, and he's been VIDEOTAPED laughing with friends about the WTC afterwards. But no facts will sway you, the U.S. gub'ment was part of it somehow, yeppers.

It couldn't have been some Muslim extremists with the mother of all wild hairs up their asses, you've got to drag the U.S. 'gubment' in. You should - but you won't - look up one well-known concept: Ockham's Razor.

This thread recorded events while approximately 3,000 people died. And you showed up later with unsubstatiated conspiracy crap. Thanks for nothing.

No martial law, although in those first few minutes it was on my mind. And also in those first few minutes I thought - this changes EVERYTHING. One of the HUGE successess is that we are back to talking about Britney Spears and Michael Jackson, etc. Not that those subjects are so worthy of notice - but that we can see them on the news instead of daily truck bombings at the mall, anthrax mailings, etc.

Hopefully however it DID change everything, at least in how we view our nation, our world and the people around us.
