i know this is not going to go over well. this is a very sensitive issue with all of us, i would think, and understandably so. but this is gaining force within a surprisingly mainstream media. some of you might ask me why post it if it's stupid, well i feel when something garnishes this much attention from the mass media it is worth investigating and finding some value perhaps. in short, i ask you not to flame me if possible. however if you still feel the need do so
at face value i do not agree with what is contained within these articles. i have read very little on this subject so would not want to make any firm inferences from my limited knowledge. what i have read seems forced, stressed and entirely implausible.
BUT a fair amount of it is coming from fairly reputable media organizations. though they are of course not to be believed at all costs, the issue does seem to be gaining currency with media consumers.
many of these beliefs seem to be based on the fact that former President G Bush now sits on the Board of the 11th largest weapons manufacturer in America, obviously a position which would benefit from the occurance of a war, as reported by the WSJ. BBC Newsnight reports the White House orders the FBI to back off in it's investigations into the bin Laden family. I won't continue here but other media outlets like The Guardian, the L.A. Times, SAPRA(an Indian wire service), Reuters, Le Figaro, MSNBC all contribute to some extent.
this is of course a wild idea. and just upon a cursory evaluation i alone can spot many holes. are all these media outlets just bending to public desire for scandal?
is congresswoman mckinney committing political suicide by being the only one to publicly press these issues? does anyone actually agree with any of this stuff or read enough to form a properly based opinion, if they feel the need?
anyway here are the links:
a 'timeline' of 'events'
global research
then there is the further-than-far-flung idea that flight 77 fell just short of the pentagon and coincided with an explosion at the pentagon which caused it to partially collapse.
i realizesweet liberty is in no way a reputable media source but the piece is made up mainly of cnn quotes.
and of course a counter point
any thoughts or am i just disturbing what should be left alone?
