SR4 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 It interests me because this country is obviously under the control of the MIC and its many machinations...I always wanted to see the dots connected in terms of When did this takeover specifically occur? By what means was it established, and how was it strengthened? I guess being a historian I really want a long-term breakdown of this evolution into the highly militarized state we have today. Why does everyone pinpoint Kennedy as the jumpoff? I would have figured you could argue it happened under Roosevelt, or even Wilson.

Atop Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I saw the second tower get hit with Peter Jennings reporting in the background on ABC news. Called into work to see if we were working that day and we were not due to everyone watching the tv for updates....I had watched Fight Club the week before and immediately though it was an inside job to kick start a revolution, but very shortly the blame was placed on Arabic terrorists. That day I spent most of my time on the warpcomm message board, after having started a thread titled "The Day the Beast was Humbled" arguing with people over the possibilities of what could have actually gone down. A man from Oklahoma threatened to kick my ass in the thread. This was my 9/11/01. Now let's see how 9/11/11 pans out.

Guest Xenblake Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 The 9/11 attacks were without a doubt the creme de la creme off terrorist assaults. They had the originality, politic, economical and social impact that is the wet dream of many a terrorist organization. The shrewdness and pure unflinching evil that was the masterplan hatched by Obama (?) Bin Laden himself has gone down in history. Though there have been additional terrorist actions against the general, and mainly innocent, populous since. I think it will be hard for any anti people club to top the 9/11 attacks. Let us raise our glasses! on one side for ingenious albeit evil masterminding, and on the other side for the families and friends of the fallen. Prost! PS. Have they built anything on the Ground Zero site yet? Just curious.

The communication also broke down pretty quickly and the powers that be pretty much scrambled. Also it took some time before they ordered a grounding of all the planes, including those that were currently in the air and that was pretty much the only way to identify which planes that were hijacked. As far as they knew at the time it could have been many more planes involved than it eventually were. Got to keep in mind that hindsight is always 20/20 and America has been pretty isolated and perhaps a false sense of security creeped in, so an event like this was bound to cause some havoc and shellshock. Even if you believe there was some foreknowledge in certain circles, it was strictly limited to the upper echelon's and not the air traffic controllers, radar operators, fighter pilots or their commanders and the so called "regular joe's" who were just expecting a regular day at the office, so it isn't that surprising that there was a lack of swift action. what surprises me most is that no evacuation order was issued at the Pentagon, when Cheney was aware of the plane's imminent intercept course http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDfdOwt2v3Y it's standard operating procedure for that when a commercial airliner looses contact with an air traffic controller to intercept a plane. I don't think any air traffic controllers were in on it, i think their whole response procedure was intentionally crippled mostly by live fly simulated hijacking drills taking place on the day of 9/11, one of which simulated crashing a commercial plane as a missile into government buildings. at this point i don't have any hope for a new investigation, all i can hope for is that people at least retain memories of what civil rights were like before 9/11. That we didn't always have this acquiescent attitude of assuming the government spies on everything we do and there isn't shit we can do about it. The most obvious and undeniable conspiracy of them all is that the us government openly and repeatedly manipulated us psychologically for their own agenda, and continues to do so to this day (regardless of if you think outside terrorists launched the attacks). It's taken about 30 years for the 'war on drugs' to start eroding in the public mind, hopefully it won't take that long for the nonsensical 'war on terror' Edited September 11, 2011 by Awepittance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/68679-91101-ten-years-later/page/5/#findComment-1653837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's important in questionnaires is the wording, of course. And in this case it seems the question was: "who is to blame". This is not the same as "who was behind". It shouldn't come as a surprise that for instance people in Europe think the US-government was responsible for ignoring the alarm bells before the attacks. And therefore the government deserves the blame. But that is entirely different from concluding the US-government planned 9/11. On a tangent: I was surprised to see some footage of Rumsfeld helping out saving casualties at the Pentagon site. (remember he was lost for 30 minutes?). I'm sure he planned that as well.

Stupid was, perhaps a poor word choice. I just don't see the world the same as them, I know this. I don't believe in having pride for your country etc, It seems so pointless. You don't get to choose where you're from, so why be proud? "That's the way we've always done it, so that's how we're gonna do it" Makes no sense to me. I don't really have much more to say, I just don't worry about this shit anymore though. Let the country collapse and people die, let america take over the world... It really makes no difference in the end. I won't be watching any of the TV specials about 9/11, I'll ignore the media bullshit as much as possible. To be honest, like many others, I'm just burned out. We're so stimulated with fear mongering 24/7 that it's hard to even care any more. Perhaps that's "their" goal, but shit man... I've got enough on my plate without worrying about some religious extremists that may or may not do something one day. edit: And I've tried to see where they're coming from tbh. I have friends that I've talked to about it, but their ideas don't make sense to me. I don't agree with them, so they're "stupid" not that the people are stupid.

But you do it in the interest of helping your common man, of being concerned for them, the US could get back on track and start taking advantage of its resources and industry and entrepreneurial spirit again. Lately when I debate someone, I tell them that im not a liberal, or independent, or anything like that, but I am an American, and I want them to join the fold again. I want them to stop hurting themselves unknowingly in the name of easy promises. The dream and myth of old America is dead, but that doesn't mean a new one cant take its place, more streamlined, more equitable, more rational, more knowledgeable. Psychological refusal to let go of the American myth is not their fault. They have been hit over the head with hit every single day of their lives, day in, day out. It takes the same amount of time and effort to heal those psychological wounds. Introduce them to friends who have served in the wars and tell horror stories. Introduce them to piles of hard, written statistics from multiple sources, rather than from the accused "liberal media." Show them that FOX is in the same basket as the other news channels, and show them all the information that America has neglected to give them. Organize discussions with large groups of people, in the open, an open dialogue, and be patient with their responses, but firm in that you know what they say is undoubtedly incorrect, but show them you are not in it to prove them wrong or stupid, but that you miss their friendship, compassion, understanding, and the fact that if in our united determination is possible, we can do things far more powerful than end Vietnam or march around the WTO. To sit and make jibes pretending our righteousness against the perceived "other", and then saying "well, theres fuck all I can do about it" is nonsense, and I think you are far more intelligent than that. You are undergoing psychological trauma and manipulation of your own, we all have. It is time to stop sitting down resigned to the fact that we have no power.
