Naturally, the common people don't want war.

That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

Yup. Let us not forget the "Reichstag Fire": The "tragedy" that helped Hitler become dictator and turned Germany into a fascist police-state.
And now the WTC and the sudden war powers Bush and Co. are given. Sound familiar?

Strange coincidence: I was thinking about making a post today about the similarites between the Reichstag fire and the WTC disaster, before I had even seen this post...Weird eh?
Anyway, yes..the parallels are quite striking.

Don't forget the scapegoats! Jews were being treated like human shit well before the Holocaust. The Germans put them in prison, took their property and possessions, and condemned them to fates worse than murderers and rapists. Government propaganda was spread about Jews equating them with rats and blaming the problems of society on them.
America treats their scapegoats, the drug users, the same way today.

There are many parallels and I wonder if there is a Timewave resonance going on here as well. It's chilling.

There was a crucial difference between the Reichstag fire and bin Laden's attack on the WTC. Surely I needn't point it out to anyone.

The Reichstag fire was not an act of a foreign power. It was planned by the Nazi party and carried out by agents working directly on their behalf.

They both correspond to how the government handled the tragedy, by eroding civil rights afterwards, IMO.
When the fire first occured, blame was immediately put on the communist party. Decades later it has become more evident that the Nazi's started the fire.
I still do not rule out the possibility that our current administration had a lot more to do with the WTC attacks then we think. People would have never guessed that the Nazi's had caused the fire during the time it happened, as years passed though, evidence pointed in a different direction. Isn't it possible that we are in this same position?

No one will ever find a smoking gun to prove that Shrub was behind 9/11; but that doesnt mean that the gun wasnt there. Shrub has had too much to gain from 9/11, as well as too much to lose without 9/11 (Enron), to not have been responsible. And that still allows foreign agents as the executioners, who in all likelyhood were CIA dupes whose minds were clouded with religious delusions. One would be hard-pressed to ever convince me that 9/11 was anything else but a Reichstag fire; or that al-Qaeda is anything else but an Emmanuel Goldstein type front.

I said there was a crucial difference. There was. As for eroding civil rights, the Nazis had been doing that right from the beginning of their reign.
Decades later it has become more evident that the Nazi's started the fire.
Less than decades. It was known very shortly after the war was over and the mountain of captured documents had been reviewed.
People would have never guessed that the Nazi's had caused the fire during the time it happened...
Again, not so. There was plenty of suspicion from the beginning that it was a manufactured incident. The proof was not available till later, however.
Isn't it possible that we are in this same position?
No. Enough evidence has already been gathered to show that the attacks of September 11, 2001 were the result of a carefully planned operation that began while Clinton was still the Prez.

Uh huh. How do you explain the fact that the planning for the operation began at a time when Bush hadn't even secured the nomination of his own party as presidential candidate, much less been elected?
And that still allows foreign agents as the executioners, who in all likelyhood were CIA dupes whose minds were clouded with religious delusions.
Does that include all the operations known to have been carried out by bin Laden and his merry men? The USS Cole, the embassy bombings, etc.?

So you are saying it was Americans who persuaded bin Laden to do it. I see.

I don't think Bush himself or his administration did much to "Set up" the attacks. (But I could be wrong.) I think it's more like they just allowed it to happen. I'm not buying the fact that the NSA, and CIA were "slacking off" or whatever. There's no way they couldn't have known.
And then there's the issue of the U.S. military's complete non-action on the morning of the 11th...

Like this. More precisely, it was not the Shrub administration itself but the ruling elites he represents that were behind it, known as the PNAC in the planning phase of the mid 1990s.

"Osama bin-Laden" is Arabic for "Emmanuel Goldstein". Read 1984 and you'll know exactly what i mean by that.
