The American people have been brainwashed by the corporate media, but
are
they gullible enough to accept this Bush plan for global domination,
involving a whole series of foreign wars against recalcitrant countries
at
enormous expense, without a tremendous fear-inspiring event like took
place
on 9-11? I think not. As a person with two degrees in science, I must
say
that this does not scientifically prove a conspiracy took place.
However,
all this evidence certainly increases the probability of one. Three
things
are certain. First, the fear and patriotism induced by the horrifying
events
of 9-11 had numerous and obvious advantages for the policies of
President
George W. Bush. As Nazi leader Hermann Goering said: "Voice or no voice,
the
people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is
easy.
All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce
the
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."
Second, the war against Iraq is about control of oil and not weapons of
mass
destruction. Third, this is not really a "war on terrorism," but rather
a
war for empire.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND 9-11
By The Iconoclast, Associated Press
Initially, the Bush administration said that it had no warning that jet
airplanes could be used as missiles to attack buildings in the United
States. Then, CIA and FBI documents came to light indicating that they
had
investigated this possibility, and the Bush administration was forced to
back off on this assertion of ignorance. Even more disturbing is the
fact
that after the first plane was hijacked and deviated from its prescribed
course, more than an hour and a half transpired with no fighter jets
being
dispatched. As a comparison, after the jet carrying golfer Payne Stewart
flew off course, the response time for F-16 fighters was only 21
minutes.
Only after two jets had crashed into the World Trade Center and another
one
was headed toward the Pentagon were F-16s sent up to intercept and then
from
Langley Air Force Base, which is 130 miles from the Pentagon, rather
than
from Andrews Air Force Base, less than ten miles from the Pentagon. Why?
These are just a couple of the discrepancies in the official story of
what
happened on 9-11.
If the Bush administration allowed 9-11 to happen, at least three things
need to be analyzed. What would the motivations be, is there a history
of
the US government planning or actually doing similar things and could
such a
conspiracy be covered up?
The events of September 11, 2001 were extremely fortuitous for the
reactionary agenda of President George W. Bush. I have made a list of
the
potential advantages.
1. 9-11 provided a perfect excuse for a war against the Taliban in
Afghanistan, which had already been planned for October 2001 because of
the
refusal of the Taliban to allow the Unocal gas pipeline from Central
Asia to
the Indian Ocean. The numerous meetings between US representatives and
the
Taliban are described in a book called Bin Laden-the Forbidden Truth by
French intelligence analysts Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie.
2. It provided an alibi to build military bases in Central Asia to
control
the enormous oil and gas reserves present there. Also, it allowed the
introduction of American troops and military advisors into numerous
countries to maintain "stability." "Stability" is a media code word
meaning
a favorable investment climate for corporations-no unions, no taxes, no
environmental restrictions, a repressive police and military to put down
popular uprisings, a puppet government, etc.
3. Anticapitalist revolutionaries like the FARC in Colombia, the
Zapatistas
in Chiapas, the Maoists in Nepal and the New People's Army in the
Philippines could now be more convincingly labeled terrorists and
destroyed.
4. Anticapitalist protesters like those at the demonstrations in Seattle
and
Genoa could conceivably be called terrorists at future demonstrations
(particularly if there were violent acts by agent-provocateurs) and
imprisoned under new laws that remove all their civil liberties.
5. Huge tax breaks for the rich and an increase of nearly 100 billion
dollars in the military budget could easily be pushed through a very
patriotic US Congress. In addition, Star Wars could be funded
completely.
Contrary to popular opinion, Star Wars is an offensive system, involving
lasers and particle beam weapons on orbiting satellites.
6. The increase in military spending would act as a stimulus to an
economy
in recession and a stock market in free fall. Military contracts are a
guaranteed market for capitalists, highly profitable and independent of
consumer demand.
7. US citizens possible anger over billions more going to the Pentagon
while
hospitals and libraries close, students lack textbooks in schools, the
infrastructure crumbles, etc. could be diminished by continuing the
terrorist alarms.
8. The risk of increasing dissent over the recession, corporate scandals
and
unending war could be reduced by a flag-waving fervor and United We
Stand
slogans.
9. Under the pretense of the need for increased homeland security,
strikes
could be broken and attacks on unions made. President George W. Bush
wants
all new jobs created under the Office of Homeland Security to be
nonunion
and he wants to privatize many civil service jobs, effectively breaking
their unions. He has already invoked the Taft-Hartley law against the
dockworkers.
There are so many discrepancies in the official story about 9-11 and so
many
advantages to the reactionary agenda of President George W. Bush that
does
one really have to be a "conspiracy theorist" to have serious doubts
about
what really happened?
Those who deny the possibility of a conspiracy occurring involving the
US
government, often claim that there is little likelihood of the US
government
being complicit in the deaths of its own citizens. Even some leftists
make
this claim, believing that although the United States has done
atrocious,
despicable things to Third World people, that they would never do the
same
to American citizens.
One has to conveniently forget a lot of history to come to this
conclusion.
There were the GIs forced to walk across ground zero after nuclear
explosions, the downwinders in Utah, the unsuspecting people injected
with
plutonium, the syphilis experiments at Tuskegee, the assassinations of
dozens of members of the Black Panthers and American Indian Movement,
Waco
and Ruby Ridge, the American soldiers exposed to Agent Orange and
depleted
uranium and the germ experiments conducted over US cities and states.
Then,
there was the Joint Chiefs of Staff plan called Operation Northwoods to
provoke a war with Cuba by sinking a ship with US military personnel at
Guantanamo Bay or conducting terrorism in US cities, involving civilian
casualties, and blaming it on Cuba. Incidentally, this was reported by
David
Ruppe on November 7, 2001 on ABC news.com- hardly a website of the black
helicopter crowd. In addition, there are the millions of citizens of
capitalist nations, including the United States, who have been used as
cannon fodder in wars for control of natural resources and cheap labor
or to
eliminate alternative economic systems. I have not mentioned the even
more
significant crimes committed against foreign populations.
Another criticism of conspiracies involving the US government is the
idea
that a lot of people would know, causing great difficulty in covering up
the
conspiracy. I think the JFK assassination disproves this theory. The
lone
gunman with the magic bullet is so implausible that a conspiracy is very
likely. The Zapruder film shows that the gunshot which destroyed the
front
of Kennedy's skull came from the front and not the back. How did they
cover
it up for nearly forty years? Witnesses suffer mysterious deaths, other
people who know the truth get old and die and the corporate media is
certainly going to be unreceptive to anyone who comes forward with
evidence
to contradict the official story. The Church Committee discovered that
many
editors and journalists at major American newspapers were in fact CIA
employees. It is a matter of public record, although rarely discussed.
Finally, the Sunday Herald of Glasgow, Scotland has discovered two US
government documents, which prove there were plans for US global
domination
and control of oil well before 9-11 happened. One document was prepared
for
Vice-president Dick Cheney and others in the Bush administration by the
conservative think tank, Project for the New American Century. It states
the
need for the United States to dominate the Persian Gulf region, to
control
space and cyberspace and to eliminate any competition from Europe in
this
global domination. Another document called Strategic Energy Policy
Challenges For The 21st Century openly admits that the reason for war
with
Iraq is to secure US access to, and control of, Middle Eastern oil
fields.
The American people have been brainwashed by the corporate media, but
are
they gullible enough to accept this Bush plan for global domination,
involving a whole series of foreign wars against recalcitrant countries
at
enormous expense, without a tremendous fear-inspiring event like took
place
on 9-11? I think not. As a person with two degrees in science, I must
say
that this does not scientifically prove a conspiracy took place.
However,
all this evidence certainly increases the probability of one. Three
things
are certain. First, the fear and patriotism induced by the horrifying
events
of 9-11 had numerous and obvious advantages for the policies of
President
George W. Bush. As Nazi leader Hermann Goering said: "Voice or no voice,
the
people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is
easy.
All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce
the
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."
Second, the war against Iraq is about control of oil and not weapons of
mass
destruction. Third, this is not really a "war on terrorism," but rather
a
war for empire.
