Did the United States of America attack itself? 911

[lostinidlewonder]

It seems like the tragic events in New York September 11th 2001 happened so long ago, certainly here in Australia it seems that way.

Now that the smoke has very much cleared I find believing in the official story is become clearly a matter of blind faith.

I am interested in your opinion on a few questions but feel free to discuss other issues that you think are important.


1) Did the Bush Administration (or powers that controlled it) attack their own people in New York and the Pentagon 9/11/2001 to propel their campaign for a "War on Terror"?

2) Do you think that this "War on Terror" is really a war on terror?


One other question I'd like to ask Americans

3) Do you feel more safe and secure in your country or does it overall feel no different, like Springfield's Bear Patrol or Lisa Simpson's Tiger-Repellant Rock?


THE SIMPSONS: Lisa's Tiger-Repellant Rock
After a single bear wandering into town caused an over-reaction from the residents of Springfield, Homer stands outside his house and muses, “Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol is working like a charm!”
Lisa sees through his reasoning: “That’s specious reasoning, dad.” Homer, misunderstanding the word “specious”, thanks her for the compliment.
Optimistically, she tries to explain the error in his argument: “By your logic, I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.” Homer is confused: “Hmm; how does it work?” Lisa: “It doesn’t work; it’s just a stupid rock!” Homer: “Uh-huh.” Lisa: “… but I don’t see any tigers around, do you?”
Homer, after a moment’s thought: “Lisa, I want to buy your rock…”



Also, apparently there are operatives who hijack threads like this, I would love to see that happen here if we discuss this in more detail with links to other 911 research sites

Interesting topic, especially for an ex-patriot like me.  I mean, i'm american and would never give up my citizenship, but i live in italy and have italian citizenship as well.
I've never thought about it that drastically, but things certainly didn't go the way the govt explains it.  I was there that day,  by the way, having  arrived the day before.  We hear all sorts of tales after a disaster of that magnitude.  One of them was that no jewish personel came to work that day.  Another was that the americans shot down the airplane over pennsylvania.  And THAT i believe, which is why i don't think your conjecture is true. On the other hand, i do feel that the so-called war on terrorists benefits lots of already rich and powerful people.
I already imagine this thread getting out of hand, but at least i got my 2 cents worth in.

It could certainly be that the government allowed the attack to happen. For example look at the Pentagon, they say it was an aircraft, it was probably a missile, but nevertheless why didn't the Pentagon deploy their anti-missile, anti-aircraft defense that they have protecting the complex? They chose not to do anything about it. This is only one issue, there are so many more pointing to how the US allowed the attack to happen.

You are right in saying this "War on Terror" has left certain groups extremely rich yet leaving the entire US economy crippled (Look at the Silverstein groups profit from the Twin Tower collapse). The US occupation in Afghanistan for instance, if we look at the mineral resource in this country it is substantial to put it extremely mildly. The War there should be known as the "War on Resource" not Terror.
