No Conspiracy, this is why
I'll chime here, seeing it's one of the more interesting topics to me. When 9/11 happened I was on IRC in some channel when someone mentioned what was happening. Like many people I looked at the TV in disbelief. Shortly afterwards i started looking into the details of it, started doing my research and admittedly got caught up in the whole conspiracy thing. After years of this information I have come to this conclusion, and it's very much influenced by a book I read recently called 'confessions of an economic hitman'. It's the story of a man who used to work as an 'economic consultant' for a large secret firm in New England.
This guy had been picked out by the NSA when he was in his 20's, and they trained him to be an economic adviser and consultant. Over the next 30 years of his life he traveled into the countries the United States eventually took over - economically or militarily. He talks about how it works, and why conspiracies are so far fetched and personally I have to agree with much of what he has to say.
Here's the scenario:
The US, or its 'economic advisers' go into a country and proposes a huge infrastructure change. In most cases the countries we approach are those who already have a fascist, military or tyrannical leader in place, who is always open to hearing how he will make more money. The economic hit man goes in, makes an assessment that this country's advancement in infrastructure will bring in whatever amount of money they say it will. Next, this country then borrows the money from the US which puts them into debt to us for the rest of their life time. The money then goes to American contractors who go into the country and build the infrastructure that in most cases, has ruined and destroyed these countries. I forgot which country in South America, but in one of these projects, the US contractors claimed the Rain fall and sold it back to the indigenous people - where that sounds kinda funny, the tribes that have perished as a result of this I'm sure don't see the humor.
I've always been very strong when it comes to US foreign politics and if you look at the path we're talking, most critical thinking people will easily see that none of what we do, has anything to do with democracy, freedom or any of those other great keywords our government likes to use. In reality it's new age slavery. The British fucked it up (enslaving countries) and it became unusable, but when Britain called the US to help them take over Iran, the US made their first big scale economic hit. Granted, it kind of backfired in Iran, but there are many countries in the world that are still completely screwed, and will be as long as we're at the wheel.
I'm sorry for writing this much but I'm sure we can all agree this type of topic isn't just talked about in one paragraph but I'd like to get back to my initial point which is the conspiracy - there is none. One clear sign of this is the fact that NOTHING is hidden. The only thing that they change on us, is the propaganda in the media. So where the indigenous people of the Amazon are fighting against Halliburton and other companies, and I mean literally fighting, attacking - in the US we get told this: "Communist rebels have tried to attack US installations". In light of everything I've said, and I know this is going to hurt so you may want to sit down - 9/11 doesn't matter, it really matters so very little. I just want those people that think "terrorists" are out to get us realize one thing - we have literally been destroying countries for 50 years, under the guise of freedom of democracy - and guess what - some of those people who's countries we have ruined just can't find it in their heart to send us a Hallmark thank you card, that's all there is. Now unsubscribe from the Alex Jones mailing list, toss out all the 9/11 DVD's you bought and join me in making a difference in your community by getting involved locally. I've offered my 'skills' to a local politician to help him get elected, because I'm sick of the Conservatives ruining this country I moved to, and I wish more people in the US would do the same. Local activism as a marketing niche? I have no idea I'm just a noob here.
