Peter Schiff argues that the US government could never have had any complicity in 9-11, because, get this, it’s dumb, not evil. And only an “evil” government would kill thousands of its own people.
Well, we don’t believe anyone is all “evil,” although many of us do evil things, but, um, Peter….what d’you suppose the government is doing when it sends Americans to fight in wars?
Killing Americans, right?
Update (November 5, 2011)
For the record, I don’t believe the government “done it”, at least, not in the usual sense. I think a number of intelligence agencies and government groups (from the ISI to the CIA to Saudi intelligence to the Mossad) have had suspicious ties to 9-11.
I suspect the globalists had a hand in it, or, at least, had some advance knowledge of it, on which they never acted, because they knew they could leverage the fall-out to their advantage.
That’s as far as I’ll go now, from what I’ve read, but, if someone told me 9-11 was plotted out in detail, I wouldn’t call it at all improbable. I’d certainly not dismiss it out of hand. There are just too many bizarre coincidences and “accidentally on purposes” for me to do that. The government may well be incompetent, as Schiff says. And I doubt it is diabolical, or, at least, no more than I can be… or you… But there are certainly agents and agencies in this government (and in many foreign governments) that are highly competent ….
Meanwhile, our government never did a good job of explaining any of what happened, relying instead on demonizing 9-11 critics as “troofers”, “nutters”, and “anti-American”. Which is pretty suspicious just there.
To top it off, there’s quite a bit of sophisticated disinformation about 9-11 on the web, courtesy of various intelligence agencies (Pentagon intelligence, CIA, Mossad, ISI, MI6, RAW ), some claiming there are no terrorists at all and others finding them everywhere they look, and yet others inserting misleading items into otherwise credible explanations.
In short, caveat lector. 9-11 research is a Barnum and Bailey world…..
