So where does LIHOP fit into this thought? Is it malfeasance, the performance of an illegal act? Or is it misfeasance, the inadequate performance of a lawful act? Or is it nonfeasance, the neglect of duty or the failure to perform a required act? You have posited a large agglomeration of government, security, military, and private concerns all knowing that war is the way to go and also knowing that it is best to not stop a terrorist attack if one were to find it out. This sentence describes your position to a tee.
Lauren,
I don't have a simple position about 9/11. It's layers and layers of meaning. Lots of things going in and coming out.
I think that the neocons and company were wanting to go agreessive and sought to dominate the world... why? for empire reasons.. wealth and so forth. Their military pals see the world as a place to wage war and conquer... a convenient marriage... greed and force.
I think that there is much incompetence, waste, fraud and abuse. 9/11 would reveal all of this in how these slackers performed or didn't. That had to be kept hidden
I think the usual old boys networks played cover up so per usual there was no accountability for wrong doing or incompetence. We saw this again in the mortgage crisis, the financial meltdown and so forth... anyone go to jail? Who got helped when the sh*t hit the fan?
I think the MIC has a co dependency thing going on with the enemy du jour... we don't have a real military adversary so we need to make it seem as if we do.. even the USSR was not coming to conquer the US. Terrorism is a handy one... it is everywhere... the world's a battlefield. Hard sell unless the enemy actually attacks you... eh? Do Americans really care if some one attacks our warships nosing around the world as if it's their backyard? No... or some housing complex for oil workers in Riyad? na... opportunists who took a risk living amongst the crazies... Or marines in a barracks in Beruit... soldiers expect to be targets of violence. But hit us in the workplace... going about our biz.. scares everyone sh*tless. Now we're talking.. we've got an enemy WHOOPDIDO!!!!!!! Everyone knows that.. you attack us and out attack dogs are unleashed. Doggies know it., PNAC knows it, guys in bars know it, gangs know it. Go ahead... test me.. make me do it! How much longer can the MIC justify sucking down the treasures with no enemy? When USSR folded people demanded a peace benefit... drop the DOD budget and build buses and schools... MIC was not happy with that. Cold war ended... they tried star wars for a decade... complete non starter... Who was going to fight us up in space? Are they serious? Waster billions but they actually put out contracts. GWOT is the real thing... People can get in line behind THAT sort of security... and sign up to kick butt... rah rah patriotism... don't take away mu Big Mac and smell phone. These guys gamed this for years... they watched the terrorist thing cooking as the Izzies squeezed the Palestinians. We had no Palestinians. Native Americans were Americanized and on their reservations and drinking... not bombing. FBI took care of the one who got uppity... AIM.
Izzies are our friends... our best friends... they even gave us our new enemies - islamic terrorists... the friend of my enemy is my enemy... Intel guys were told to do foreign policy in the early 60s... not intel told us they would do it and do it on the sly and we pay for it... On the sly means criminal stuff... killing, assassination, drugs, guns, bribes, blackmail...mafia type stuff... get it done and no effin around. No one talks. Elected governments fell and our puppets popped up... all is good. AND we get to practice counter insurgency when those ungrateful serfs begin to rebel. We train em and we go down and get some hands on killing and terror training. We get to use their tactics too... knock off Ortega that stinking commie. This is fun!
We need to expand the theater of operations... Let's go for the Caucuses (energy Caucuses that is) and the ME where it's producing and controlled by pesky OPEC. That has to change. Meanwhile MIC is cashing out supply weapons to our puppets to keep the serfs quiet. Foreign aid... weapons bought from the MIC... the money never leave the US... straight to Northrop... the planes go out and our pilots are paid to fly them... win win win And as a bonus we are safe as a big in a rug.
Pushing hard on the serfs and sending out weapons to kill them pisses them off. Not very xtian way to treat folks. Serfs have no where to go. USSR ain't no more. China is doing slave labor for America... EU is trying to be a democratic isolationist socialist haven... NATO... the US military club is the dues they must pay because the US saved their asses from the Nazis. Our Nazis are more reasonable... They go after the weak third world first...
Let's cut to the chase here...why would these idiots try to stage a massive complex conspiracy sans rehearsal when they knew it was only a matter of time before the Izzies enemies would be our real enemies. Bennie knew it and he jumped for joy... He wanted US to take out his enemies. Every intel knew something was cooking. They called it chatter. They couldn't wait... They had all the plans for roll of of the New American Century... USAPATRIOT act and all... flags and bumper stickers... freedom fries in the frier... They even practiced the attack everyone knew was coming. It wasn't going to be a landing on the beach in East Hampton.
Gladio was practice runs. Terrorism freaks people out... you can blame whomever because no one gets caught and there are no trials. Doesn;t matter who does it as much as how it is spun. The right acts claiming it's the left and the left becomes the bad guys... That works. No matter who does what grab the mic and tell the story and make it stick.
Neocons didn't want to stop an attack.. they wanted to wage a war... a huge never ending war. Once it began they could and would control the message. red yellow and green... take your shoes off and no shampoo on a plane nor a nail clipper... for your own good. Got it.
Skeered people are easy to push around. If they ain't skeered... tell em to be skeered. Lies work too... it's all good.
