Artful Dodger: the last one can only be guessed at, and your guess is as good as mine.

Mr Rudd is throwing so much money around to the needy/greedy is it any wonder we are going down. Personally it doesnt affect me because Im debt free. The only way it affects me is my interest rates go down on investments, but apart from that I could care less what happens.

Especially since the advent of TV has democracy gone down hill, with budgets spent on campaigns now being more important then capability.

Subiectul: Re: A Bomb Drops
The Usurper: Aye.. I've heard similar. In the end it's best not to elect a man in charge of the country who wants to be in charge, but someone fit for the job instead.

How many western leaders have we had that have proven to be less then honest... and how many leaders world wide have to proven to fall short of the mark.

Most.

Subiectul: Re: A Bomb Drops
(V): It is possible that governments in general develop psychopathic tendencies of self-preservation, and become ruthless predators to accomplish this. They become beasts apart from the people they rule or ostensibly represent. We know that it is often people who seek power, who rise to the top of the political-economic chain. And those are the worst kinds of people to be in charge. That is why Plato said it would take a Philosopher-King (a man who didn't want the job) to establish a truly just society. He also said democracies inevitably devolve into oligarchies, then tyrannies. Looks like he may have been right.

(V): It might have been "all of the above." Like the firebombing of civilian targets, it was unconscionable, whatever the strategic purpose(s).

The Usurper: Mmmmm so many rumours over the A bomb drops on Japan. Some say it was to end the war quickly, some say it was to see the actual consequences of the use of such devices for future reference, some say it was to frighten the Russians.

Subiectul: Re:
Czuch: Fear and terror like certain leaders have used before can give them the right to get away with murder.

Terrorism has been with us for years, some independent, some supported by certain governments in order for them to enjoy playing their stupid power games.

If 911 was not Osma Bin Laden (as the FBI now seem to be saying) then who?

Artful Dodger: Gotta catch a snooze while you can. :o)

It's snowing cats & dogs here! Whoopedoo! (rare in GA)

Yes....to create terror.

Also consider that the perpetrators (if the U.S. Government) were in charge of the crime scene & the investigation, not to mention they control the corporate media. And small-scale false-flag operations had already been tried & tested & proven doable. 9/11, then, would be the biggie, the one they'd been aiming for, to bring about their major objectives. In this scenario, the main reason they thought they wouldn't get caught would have to be....Hubris.

(I'm writing to Art here but also trying to answer some of Czuch's objections)

A good book on Dresden is Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five." He was there, a prisoner of war. We also firebombed cities in Japan before dropping the big ones.

Hey, I have a plan..... we dont like dealing with the idiots in Iran.... lets send a nuke into the heartland of the US, kill millions of people, then show some fake evidence that iran did it!!! Yeah, yeah, thats the ticket.... then we can blow the living crap out of Iran, and have the blessing of the whole world behind us, maybe even get someone else to do it for us! Brilliant!!

Czuch: and my point is that the US government did not have to use such an elaborate scheme to promote the fear and anger they needed to help implement more of their imperialistic urges...

really, just blow up one WTC, and blame some terror group from the middle east, that would have accomplished the same results, without near the risk of being caught at it as what they supposedly got away with

Charles Martel: I know loads were used.... including 1000 bomber raids.

But from what I have read it looks like a lack of intelligence or the giving of such to Harris was a significant point. As he had not the clearance to know about ULTRA.
