I watched the video and thought the young man had a good handle on his knowledge of the subject - a good width & breadth of his grasp on the world situation.
I both found myself agreeing at points and disagreeing at points.
While it is true that America is not a perfect nation and is definitely not a "saint" (to personify the nation), it is equally true that the extremists can be equally criticized for their barbaric acts also. For example, to video tape yourself cutting the head off of a reporter (what did he do?) is horrible. Or how about killing 3,000 New Yorkers (civilians, not soldiers and some Muslim themselves)? What purpose did it serve except to "up-the-ante" so to speak?
So, while I thought this young man made some good points and connected the dots in some cases fairly well, I think he somewhat fails by being myopic in his vision and only seeing the virtue of the side he favors (which seems like the Arabic countries since he does not think Israel has any right to exist - an extreme position to take).
It seems to me that the biggest casualty in any conflict is the truth - that is killed off quickly as each side justifies their actions and why they are right to do what they do and, of course, the other side vilifies their opponent.
Anyway, he made some good points but his one-sided, biased commentary made his observations suspect because he did not try and give a balanced view of this very complex world-situation. Not everything is as "black & white" as we would like to make it and that is actually why some things are so difficult to resolve - because of the fog and huge grey center that exists.
I would like to see [MENTION=5090]Apone[/MENTION] and [MENTION=472]Poetic Justice[/MENTION] weigh in on this with their thoughts....
Great points, and I totally agree. America isn't a perfect nation, and there are plenty of other nations that would ruthlessly pillage and destroy others if not for our presence, and i'm sure our country deals with problems of such magnitude that they would petrify Americans if ever disclosed. Another thing is that the world is wild and unpredictable, and sometimes you can't play by the rules when countenancing evil. But this is something essential that needs to be acknowledged.
Muslims didn't do 911.
9/11 was a false flag operation executed by the neoconservative warmongers/profiteers in the US (Cheney, Rumsfeld etc) and the very radically conservative, dual US-Israeli citizen Zionists (Paul Wolfowitz, Lewis Libby etc). Paul Wolfowitz (Secretary of Defense under Bush) and Lewis Libby (Cheney's Chief of Staff) and a few dozen others were part of a think tank called "Project for a New American Century" and were writing policy papers about overthrowing Saddam, invading Afghanistan, and expanding the US military empire in the 90's. In '98, Libby, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and others wrote a letter to Clinton urging him to "turn [his] Administration's attention to implementing a strategy for removing Saddam's regime from power" because "our ability to ensure that Saddam Hussein is not producing weapons of mass destruction, has substantially diminished." And in another paper titled "Rebuilding America's Defenses", written mostly by Libby in September 2000, discusses the importance of expanding the American military empire and increasing military spending (20% of the Pentagon's budget went towards defense spending under Reagan, but only 8% under Clinton) and he says, and i QUOTE, the process of [revamping defense spending], even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event — like a new Pearl Harbor." Libby was also sentenced to jail for 30 months for leaking the identity of an undercover CIA agent who was in the process of finding out who was actually behind the manipulation of intelligence that justified us going into Iraq. And on top of that, he wrote the speech that Colin Powell gave in 2003, where he lied to the UN about why we "need" to go to Iraq.
This sums it up pretty well though:
" When some people hear the word "conspiracy" they start thinking of a tinfoil hat crowd and invoke images of space aliens, paranoia, or a variety of cults and nonsense. Well there are a lot of wacky conspiracies about many things but that does not mean that conspiracies don't or can't happen. For example, the Iran Contra Affair was a massive government conspiracy hidden from the press and public for years. It involved billions of dollars and multiple countries. It has since been admitted to but many of the people involved did not get into trouble. They were given presidential pardons either by Bush Sr. or Bill Clinton. Most of them still have jobs and are working in the government right now! [as of April 20th, 2006] That is a fact. The CIA and Mossad have gotten away with countless covert operations and false flags. There are too many to name. So for those who think a covert operation or conspiracy can't happen, you need to open a history book, or at the very least start doing some online research. To just reject conspiracies as a whole just because there are some kooks who think the moon landing was fake or Elvis or Tu Pac are still alive etc is not a reason to just reject the concept all together. I have had people tell me conspiracies never work and that they can't be done because someone always snitches. Well that argument just does not float in reality.
The Neocons made 9/11 happen with the assistance of a foreign government, the same government where PNAC's papers were first written, and the same foreign nation who we have caught spies from who have been stealing secrets from the US about Iran, and who made up the shadow government of the Office of Special Plans which is who cherry picked and fabricated the lies told about Iraq in order to start that war. The Wars in the Middle East were for separate reasons, Afghanistan was about a few pipelines as noted but more so about controlling large quantities of un-tapped uranium (a reason for both the Russian and US invasions) and secondly for controlling opium as the CIA uses drug money to fund it's off the book black operations such as the now known massive secret prison systems, (torture camps and human medical/scientific testing). Location-wise Afghanistan is coupled with other color coded revolutions to circle China and Russia with US bases and puppets. The main goal however, which the PNAC think tank states, is to keep the eye on the pie: Iran, which Afghanistan and Iraq both boarder. The invasion of Iraq was to solve Israel's oil crisis and stop the threat of a secular Middle East which would become a true economic player and was a threat to the aggressive state of Israel.
911 was the Mossad. But that is not an Israeli intelligence agency per say it is a terrorist agency for the military industrial complex which feeds off of the hatred of the bigots and useful idiots concentrated in Israel. The US and Israel are not really different countries in a way. The US and Israeli agencies and their Neocon governments work for their own interests and those interests are guided by a racist, political ideology mixed up with a fascist version of a religion and Straussian philosophy. There is a total disconnect between the people of America (the sane ones) and the government. US foreign policy works for Likud Israeli interests first second and third. This is because the Zionists and MIC have overlapping financial interests. But most of all the press is Zionist. There is no war greater right now than the information war. Nothing would fix things faster than taking back the media or totally discrediting the corrupt lying fear mongering war cheerleaders we have now.
What has been hidden from you and the dots which have not been connected in any 911 films is the Israeli connection. 911 has been hit with heavy disinformation. This tactic worked well for Area 51 a secretive base that was wasting trillions of dollars. Because of disinformation and a lot of idiots, if anyone said a thing about area 51 it was unfairly linked to everything from space creatures to crop circles.
911 was an inside job which was part of a larger plan for perpetual war, hatched in Israel. Understand that Israel is not Jewish people OK please understand this. Israel is a violent nation that engages in false flag operations routinely and serves the interests of the MIC not any particular ethnicity. For a long time during the Cold War, Israel was the medium the MIC used to bully the Middle East indirectly and increase arms sales across the board. 911 and the recent wars in the Middle East were carefully planned attacks carried out by a faction of Zionist Neocons and the Israeli Mossad. The policy papers that acted as propaganda for the war were written by Dual Citizens with Israel. The equity firms profiting from the Iraq War like Carlyle and Trireme and the law firms processing contracts like Feith and Zell, the Anthrax attack, and the anthrax attack speech, the PNAC documents, the DPG the lies from journalists about Iraq's WMD are all connected back to the same Zionist cabal in the DOD and office of [Dick Cheney]. Just think back to the propaganda about Iraq before the war and then go read what PNAC was writing in the 90s."
The stuff above was written by the same guy in the video and is loaded with facts, Patrick Williams i'm going to shoot you a PM and link you to the source because there's a lot more to it (but it's a long read so there's no rush). I don't want to link to other forums from this one so anyone who wants to read the rest of what was in the quotation marks above PM me. And this stuff isn't "anti-Jew" it's heavily supported with facts and evidence.
I haven't read the news today.
