The War on Terror as a Spin of Imagination. Part 3. Conspiracies.

When an event of the magnitude of 9/11 happens, it is only natural that at least a few conspiracy theories will emerge, or re-emerge in its wake.

Is the US media leading America to (another) war?

In the past, war reporters bravely followed soldiers into the jaws of war. Today, it looks like the soldiers are embedded in the media instead, simply going along for the story.

The recent failed attack on a US passenger jet traveling from Amsterdam to Detroit was a set-up provocation controlled by US intelligence, author and journalist Webster Tarpley stated to RT.

“[The terrorist’s] father, a rich Nigerian banker, went to the US embassy in Nigeria on November 19 and said ‘my son is in Yemen in a terrorist camp, do something about this.’ Nevertheless, the son is allowed to buy a ticket in Ghana, paying cash, $2,800, for a one-way ticket,” Tarpley said.

After that, a mentally deficient young man who doubtfully could make it from one gate to another managed to illegally enter Nigeria and get on a plane to Amsterdam.

“There was a well-dressed Indian man who brought him to the gate and said, ‘my friend does not have a passport, get him on, he is Sudanese, we do this all the time – that is impossible!” said Tarpley.

regard the Detroit bomb attempt, if it was conspiracy it would be far more likely to be to make us accept body scanners than worry to much about Yemen. Scanners have been discredited by almost all who have examined them, but the day after the bomb attempt various governments were installing them and guess what - there are hundreds ready for instant use. I don't normally give much credit to conspiracies but this one sounds very much like a hard sell for scanners, not by America alone but by all the western governments who have security advisers taking over control. Just look what they are doing to the winter Olympics.

Most countries have 0.0 problems with air transportation. All accidents should be looked at as a possible false flag operation, and evidence left intact until a formal investigation is complete. Unlike the attacks on 9/11 , Mayor Juliane disposed of the crime scene, and did not allow a proper investigation. It would seem we have lost the phrase "pending investigation" altogether in the USA. It is like the government rushes to the media with some fudged idea that what they provide will pass as the truth. It takes more brains to lie adeptly, and our government lost adept brains long ago. So as they keep us over occupied with our economic distress at home, they make billions of enemies, over seas. (like we did not have enough) In the name of the off shore central banks. America's government has lost it's blessing. Peace

In situations like this, it is much wiser to check out the story. The official story already changed several times. Kurt Haskell needs to think hard about the consequences of his very unfortunate proximity to events. He will soon find out what a system can do to him. But he has a law license, and if he sticks to his story, he can easily loose it. Twice he was within an earshot of events. Once, in Amsterdam. At the gate, two men approached the ticket counter. Kurt Haskell and his wife were playing cards nearby. A gentlemen in suit told the ticket agent that the young African man does not have a passport. "He is from Sudan", he said. "We do it all the time". I am assuming that Sudanese rebels from Darfur are brought in this way, to avoid asking Sudan for passport. The man and African youth left towards the manager's office. Later, Kurt Haskell saw him on board. After the Nigerian was subdued, passenges were kept in Customs area. No other planes were allowed to disembark into Customs. A dog was sent around to check luggage. Dog stopped at a man in orange top. The man was taken by security, and shortly afterwards led out in handcuffs. The initial version of the official story was that NOBODY else was involved. Later, because of eyewitnesses, it was claimed that it was an immigration issue. Not true, as the dog stopped at his backpack. Until now, this is obscure. This also looks like a handler. With two unexplained events, this looks like a show, to support the military action in Yemen. The one that started way before Captain Underpants adventure.
