117. Kick and opinion.
Here’s my take, with all due respect to Orrin_73.

I’ve always maintained that whatever Sibel (and those who would back her up) know is proof that the so called “war on terror” is a lie. As I stated in an earlier article: http://tinyurl.com/ykpn69 , Sibel once told me to “forget 9/11” and concentrate on the DOD and the “business as usual” point of view.

Has it ever dawned on anyone that if al Qaeda was such a real threat, that more would’ve have been done since 9/11 to neuter them? Think of all the threads and stories here regarding “lost chances” and “getting the #2 guy” etc. etc.

What we have here is little more than a replacement for the Big Red Menace, which in turn funds the MIC – which has ties to countries (Turkey for example) through its members who share a common goal.

This is not pie-in-the-sky conspiracy theorizing but the realization that there are those who crave (and profit) from conflict. Go back to Lukery’s posts add see the players.

This is a big stakes game, kids. And why shouldn’t Turkey be a major player? When was the last time anyone in the media paid them any attention? Armenian Genocide? The goal to be part of the EU? Was it on the front page? Not so much. Get the drift?

Money fuels everything. Illegal drugs, illegal arms sales are little more than a part of the equation that those in power would rather not talk about – unless we’re talking about a “war” on either one. Just more smoke and mirrors.

My serious suggestion would be for all of us who give a damn, to push our reps to pass a Whistleblowers Protection Act and allow folks like Sibel and others to finally tell what they know.

But that’s just my opinion.
