It's funny. People tell us to avoid "conspiracy theory" (meaning the
conspiracies not written by the FBI, in the case of 9-11) because it leads one
to speculation. Yet, what is this follwing if not speculation:

Then of this portion:

It isn't about keeping up systemic apparatuses, nor is it about believing in
Capitalism and bourgeois democracy. Ask yourself this: Could the fundamental
re-colonisation of the Middle East, a military operation that will neccessarily
*have to* last at least a CENTURY... would not embarking on such a venal course
require a rather huge act to allow them the political room? Is it not something
like this that is the only thing "enough"? Well, I don't know either, but then
when we look at what Martinot laid out and a few things he didn't and it starts
to make sense that the entire world (except North America) believes that 9-11
ha'd some connefction to the junta in power.

I don't doubt you at all on this stuff, Henry... doesn't it seem a tad bit odd
that the smartest imperialist regime in history is about to embark on a course
that any fool can tell will inflame the passions of the Islamic world ever more?

Just a few thoughts...
to Melvin P: Your post made sense, don't worry about it.
