Anyone who is remotely interested in just how flagrantly political hacks discuss lying to "the people" in their internal documents, ought to read this piece.
The first half involves the way FDR finagled the US into WWII - a subject which now no longer even permits argument, since the evidence is so overwhelming (including foreknowledge of Pearl Harbour).
Then it mvoes to Operation Northwoods - which really makes you think about all that "intelligence" that Adlai Stevenson presented to the UN about the Bay of Pigs. Reminds me of February 5, 2003 and Colin "My Lai" Powell's sacrifice of the last fragments of his tattered reputation.
The stuff - quoted from documentary sources - about "false flag" operations involving mocked-up civilian airliners is chilling. Not because there would be civilian casualties (in the Northwoods plan, the planes would actually be empty apart from luggage).
Don't keep kidding yourself that politicians would not be prepared to let thousands be killed, if it served their purposes. The next step is to accept that they would also conspire to cause "false flag" events to enable the encroachment of State power.
Every time a bomb goes off in Tel Aviv, think about WHO BENEFITS. Every time there's a "travel advisory" issued about to Aceh, bear in mind that Aceh has large oil deposits and the Indonesian government does not want the US to put troops there.
Cicero is considered the original author of the phrase that everybody should keep in mind... WHO BENEFITS ("Cui bono?"). It is the absolute best guide to judging the likely perpetrators of an act, be it a "terrorist bombing" (like the bombing of the King David Hotel by Irgun) or the events of September 11th.
Who was the biggest beneficiary of the events of September 11th? Not bin Laden, not the Arabs and certainly not the President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein (since he had no involvement whatsoever). The biggest beneficiary was the State - it got a new bureaucracy (the largest on the planet), sweeping new powers against the liberty of its citizens, and the military-industrial-oil complex made out like bandits.
And the Project for a New American Century's "core" statement invoked a requirement for a "catalyst"... a "New Pearl Harbour". The political machine saw the OLD Pearl Harbour coming. Join the dots.
