I though...<i>Why didn't Bush want an enquiry?</i><br /><br /> <br /><br />I thought he didn't want an enquiry because it might blow up in his face, point out how "YOU were in charge when this thing happened and you didn't stop it!" But now that you put it that way, if I was in charge, and I was really worried that it would happen again, I'd want to get to the bottom of things. Perhaps that's why ordinary humans like us, who believe in responsibility, are not allwed near the levers of power.<br /><br />Then again, why doesn't Obama want an enquiry into the financial crisis? Why are the Dems resisting an audit of the U.S. Federal Reserve? Why is nothing being done about a man-made disaster that's going to kill more people than 9/11, once all the deaths from poverty, suicides and angry family murders are totaled.<br /><br />They just don't care. And there's nothing we can do about it. We're on this ride, yet all we can do is hang on and hope we don't get thrown off or crushed beneath the wheels.Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093949.post-54612275981123611902009-06-10T14:51:54.623+10:002009-06-10T14:51:54.623+10:00I was the same, Bukko. I always suspected that a v...I was the same, Bukko. I always suspected that a very small and select group including Cheney, Rumsfeld (maybe not Dubya, or at least not fully) and senior Mossad people knew that 9-11 was going to happen. Whether it was their idea or Osama's hardly matters. What really amazes me is the extent of the cover-up. <br /><br />There are a lot of obvious questions that simply have not been answered, and a lot of people in positions of responsibility who simply don't want anyone to know the answers. I am not saying all those people were involved in the original conspiracy, but why don't they want to know the truth? Do they just walk away when someone taps them on the shoulder and says "Stay away, this is radioactive."? <br /><br />Why didn't Bush want an enquiry? Why did he refuse to testify without Cheney? Why didn't Zelikow tell the 9-11 Commission team about Rice's early warnings? Why was O'Neill moved to the WTC? Why didn't the FBI care about who really sent the anthrax letters? Etc etc etc - don't people even WANT to know these things? <br /><br />It's a fool's game to try to provide the answers when you don't have all the facts. but we are certainly not short of very valid questions.Jaraparillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06336314539987735082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093949.post-74820924225940043402009-06-09T15:23:09.363+10:002009-06-09T15:23:09.363+10:00Y'know, Gandhi, I've always been a sceptic...Y'know, Gandhi, I've always been a sceptic about 911 Truthers. My wife is one, and I gently scoffed at her for being through the looking glass. But over the weekend, we watched the "Zeitgeist" movie and "Zeitgeist Addendum" too. (I reckon you must have viewed them as downloads, because they're TOTALLY what you and WP are about.)<br /><br />I mainly wanted to see the movies for what they had to say about the monetary system. Plus they're ominously portentious if you're seeing them stoned, but you don't do that. There's a lot of claptrap, like citing Lou Dobbs as a reliable source when it comes to the "NAFTA Superhighway," and putting RFID chips into everyone. And the guy who spoke most in the "Addendum" part struck me as someone who wanted to spread a utopian guru philosophy.<br /><br />However, watching the part about the 911 conspiracy, especially seeing how WTC7 was NOT burning before it collapsed (in my mind's eye, I recalled it as engulfed in flames) raised doubts that I did not have before. Pains me to admit it, mate, but you and Mrs. Bukko and the Truthers might be on to something.Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.com
