If we were to say that the American government took no explicit part in any conspiracy to kill its own citizens, would that indicate that the American government had no culpability? There are several ways to skin a cat. Governments often choose to use the tactic of omission rather than commission. In other words, rather than do something themselves, they wait for their enemy to do it, and deliberately omit to take the steps necessary to prevent it. They know it is about to happen, but they choose not to stop it because it is, in fact, precisely what they want. If one asks the most important question of all in any conspiracy scenario - cui bono? (to whose benefit?) - one can see that numerous American neocon foreign policy and economic objectives were satisfied in the aftermath of 9/11. Acts of omission are almost impossible to prove. Incompetence and negligence are always cited rather than conscious intent on the part of a government to allow the slaughter of its own citizens to take place Therefore, governments frequently employ this tactic. It permits "plausible deniability". No one should forget that the CIA had extensive contacts with the mujahedeen during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, and provided them with arms and intelligence. It is inconceivable that they did not come into contact with such a prominent figure as Osama bin Laden, and many of the future leaders of the Taliban. Either the CIA are one of the most inept organisations on earth, (they aren't!) or they were well aware of what was happening in Afghanistan. In which case, why did they do nothing? During WWII, the British broke German secret codes. Several times, they permitted disastrous events to happen, with thousands of their own people dying, even though they could have stopped any of those disasters. But to stop them would have alerted the Germans that their codes had been cracked. The 'greater good' dictated that it was preferable for innocent citizens to be killed than for the enemy to learn that its secret codes had been compromised. Be in no doubt - governments are always prepared to sacrifice their own citizens if they think it is in the greater interest of their policy aims. No one is protecting you. Your lives are dispensable. This is kinda scary.. i found it on a webpage someone pasted here in the forum about the Illuminati and stuff, I dont know what you think but I agree!
The part about the German codes is true, but to alert the Germans that we could intercept their messages could have been a huge blow to the Allies. It's a tough decision that had to be made. Sacrificing those lives saved others, but I don't know if I'd be able to make that call.
Same old anti-government ramblings I'm used to. Not that I don't agree, but at the end of the article I find myself thinking, "so what" Do something about it or GTFO.
My question is always, as private little citizens, what exactly can we do? More importantly, how do we motivate others who seem far too content with their television and associated microwave dinners?
You don't. People will sit on their fat asses content with everything around them until it reaches Nazi Germany level. And even then, despite the thousands and thousands of people being beaten and killed for daring to fight back, the majority will continue to sit and do nothing. Give them their America's Next Top Model and some poisonous fast food and they'll be content, no matter what.
Just thinking about all this makes me want to go off the grid. I don't want to have to pay taxes to a government that uses innocent people like pawns.
In 1941, with hostilities unavoidable, the Unites States wished the Japaneese to commit the first overt act. There is a debate over the US holding back information and allowing the December 7 attacks to occur. IF they were aware of the details in advance, to have stopped it with little planning would have shown our hand and destroyed future iintelligence. It's a tough world and sometimes you have to take a punch if you want to win the fight.
