25. Right on!!!

You have got it, Nothing w/o Hope!

Here are some important resources:

Crossing the Rubicon, By Michael Ruppert

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0865715408/qid=1...

After reading this book, my whole outlook was changed. It is copiously documented with sources from MSM, U.S. Government, etc.

As just one example from this vast book: Chapter 9, "Business with the Bin Ladens: The Real Saudi Arabia", starts with these two paragraphs:

"Osama bin Laden is probably the last witness the United States would like to have interrogated. There is a compelling case to be made that Osama bin Laden has long been a well-cultivated, protected, and valued asset of the US and British intelligence. It is also possible that he has been used.

“The bin Laden family of Saudi Arabia is vastly different from what has been described in the American press. Much of its wealth, power, sophistication, and political and economic influence have been overlooked. A close examination leads directly to US economic and intelligence interests. And this does much to explain why American corporate media has avoided discussing it in detail.”

He then goes on to conclusively show that the myth of OBL as a family outcast is just that: a myth.
Here’s an example of the source material:

Spring 2000 (C): Sources who know bin Laden later claim that bin Laden's stepmother has a second meeting with her son Osama in Afghanistan (see Spring 1998). The trip is approved by the Saudi royal family. The Saudis pass the message to him that “‘they wouldn't crack down on his followers in Saudi Arabia’ as long as he set his sights on targets outside the desert kingdom.” In late 1999, the Saudi government had told the CIA about the upcoming trip, and suggested placing a homing beacon on her luggage. This doesn't happen—Saudis later claim they weren't taken seriously, and Americans claim they never received specific information on her travel plans. < New Yorker, 11/5/01 , Washington Post, 12/19/01 >
