I think i woke up wearing my tinfoil hat this morning....
but something's been kicking aorund in my head all day.


I've been thinking about PNAC and their goals from 2000 and history as we know it today.

With Afghanistan and Iraq already occupied, and it looks like Iran and Syria right aroudn the corner....it makes me wonder about 9/11.


if it weren't for 9/11 the neocons wouldn't have had a chance in hell for furthering the PNAC agenda.....but in a post 9/11 world, it's easy to blame everything on terrorism.


I hate to think it, and I really hate saying it, but is it possible 9/11 was a some sort of horrible setup to further the PNAC Amercian World Domination agenda?

25. Well, yes, but
always glad when someone else sees the light! I remember the day I went and read the PNAC manifesto, and the whole damn thing fell into place--the Unified Theory of Bush, as it were. It was a satisfying and frightening moment.

5. ask yourself a simple, little question....
or four...

WHO benefitted from 9/11?

WHO had a fabulous year?

WHO slept great that night?

WHO hit the 'trifecta'?

it was hard to hear over the sobbing that day but...

PNAC'rs were shouting "YES!"

6. Boy are you in for a treat ....
Go to the 9/11 forum and see all of the threads on MIHOP and LIHOP. (Made it happen and/or let it happen). The theroy that our wise and wonderful leader <sarcasm> and his band of rethugs were instrumental in 9/11 just to have justification for war on Iraq has been discussed on DU for a very long time. Many threads and many thoughts.

14. The good news here is that you
came to this conclusion by connecting the dots and hopefully many others are now doing the same thing.

19. never apologise for being new to information!
just because this or any subject has been ripped apart, put back togeter ripped apart again
does not mean it is a dead subject.
If it is new information to you, then it is new.

Kudoe to you, MsTryska for smelling a rat AND wanting to sniff the rat out.
Kudos for ya DU'ers for being nice and non head-bitey-offey.
..........................................................................................

Actually, this brings up something that might be worth considering.
Because there have been so many people signing on to DU perhaps a
brief history of
MIHOP and LIHOP
and PNAC
and Plamegate
(and the other
veryveryvery heavily discussed topics)
would be in order? (spare the newer readers from all the "i agree!" "LOL""vote for Nader" posts. ;)

I think that if I were new to this site or had experienced an epiphany like our firend MsT, I'd be daunted by the rafts of threads.
Perhaps so daunted that I might not ever read them.

Should we consider a "BFEE topics IN Brief" section?
Of course links to longer threads could be included.


Thought?

27. eek, your idea
about a "BFEE topics IN Brief" section would be greatly appreciated! All of the threads are indeed daunting, to put it mildly! I scramble to catch up whenever possible, but sometimes it is best to move on. And that's a shame because I know I'm missing very valuable info.

15. Give testimony of how you connected the dots and then found a
mother-lode of writing about the subject.

Don't forget www.the-movement.com - but allow a lot of time and bring a pencil and pad to graph it all.

16. MIHOP? Definitely possible, if not probable
PNAC outright SAID that we needed a "New Pearl Harbor" to facilitate swift transformation to Orwellian Empire.

8 months after these same people gained Imperial, unchecked power...we got our "new Pearl Harbor".

Absolutely possible, but we'll never know now that Amerika is now Sovietized, but in a Free-Market sort of way.

17. But the more parsimonious theory
that they just took advantage of it makes more sense and explains your observations eqaully well.

These people have been trying this shit since Reagan. And they just spin whatever happens to help them do it.

18. LIHOP or MIHOP
It makes me feel sick to my stomach because it must be true. It makes so much sense.

20. Yeah i know......i was good and cynical and angry
with "LIHOP" i guess. But thinking "MIHOP" makes me want to curl up in fetal position until i've processed the horror.

22. Fear not the tinfoil hat.
In time you will learn to wear it with pride. I know what your are going through, the reckoning then the realization- the paradigm shift. I went through this about 2 years ago. When the fog lifts your powers of perception will be honed to a fine edge and it will seem as if you have stepped through the looking glass, never to return. Fear this not.

Judging from the amount of internal criticism the administration has had to field since the "new Pearl Harbor" stage of PNAC, there would have to be another disaster, real or staged, in order for their plans to move forward.

While the plan has always been to install undemocratic regimes abroad to exploit for trade liberalization purposes, neo-cons realize that Americans would not take too kindly to the idea of suddenly waking up being forced to comply with the demands of a brutal dictatorship. At that point, every 2nd-amendmentite, militia-man and armchair war-hawk would wake up to the notion that Bush's White House is about as un-American as you can get.

See how far Americans were sunk into the chasm when they were told to hold the blame for 9/11? We were told that there was an outside threat that insisted upon destroying our freedoms. We were also told that, if we did not assist in destroying anything that the government perceived to be an outside threat, we were helping the terrorists destroy our freedoms. Such convolution of logic. We all know the story of what happened in America after September of 2001, but what happens if/when another attack occurs on our soil? It's not just going to be another round of flag stickers on SUVs.

Will a nationwide "Red Alert" be activated?

Will FEMA then declare a state of emergency and assume charge over the federal government indefinitely?

Will those who, in the panic, question the motives of our emerging police-state be detained? Will they be considered domestic terrorists?

Remember when Grover Norquist waxed aloud about wanting to shrink government to the size where it could be drowned in a bathtub? This is his opportunity.

It is not far-fetched to think that the major news outlets would take such an opportunity to equate liberals with terrorists. I've heard talk like that on particularly right-wing radio (even Adam Carolla of Loveline fame has recently made comments), so, considering the tremendous pull-to-the-right that America experienced after 9/11/01, I believe it's highly possible that this administration will not hesitate to use overt language to imply that liberals are the enemy.

As a matter of fact - you can call me a conspiracy theorist if you want - I think that's been the plan all along.

Realize that a post 9/11 world, albeit a traumatic one, is still not a full manifestation of the PNAC's wet dream. So, what's next?

23. I don't know what's next.
i'm hoping for a total cock-block on Nov 2nd.


Evil can't win. It's not allowed to man. the Universe just doesn't support the aberration.
