GUEST, before starting any war, public opinion must be considered and swayed if all possible. Don't get me wrong, if they're going to do it, they'll do it, but they like to have the support of the public. Fascists, what can I say?

Lighter, a "worrisome trend" becomes conspiratorial when the Military-Industrial Complex becomes more and more powerful and more secretive. They will of course claim that what they are doing is for our benefit, naturally. They are protecting us and our interests. Not true. What they are doing is for their OWN benefit. They are doing THEIR thing- war mongering, manipulating, policing and dominating within and without the US, not to mention making a killing on weapons technology- all at our expense.

Be real. What would anyone need with "facts" at this point? All you need to know at this point is that they are spying, lying and in general turning us into the Evil Empire whether we like it or not. Every once in a while you get an insider, a whistle blower to tell you what you already knew. So why would you waste your time speculating on details? No matter who is responsible for 911, the government seized the moment to transform itself into a tyranny. You are not experiencing that just yet but the framework is solidly in place. The unconstitutional powers are there. They wouldn't be there if they didn't plan to use them at some point in the future...

So don't worry about planes and girders and rivets, ok? It's not important. The important thing is that you understand what kind of people are in charge and why that means we're fucked. That's all you need to know. Now go have fun while you still can.
