The Great American Conspiracy Theory

msufan · 11-18-2005, 12:18 AM

OK, the current thread on 9/11 got me thinking. What if all of the conspiracy theories are true?

-We didn't really land on the moon. It was all a staged ploy to assert superiority over the Russians.

-The government actually had a hand in making 9/11 happen. Why?

3) Instant Fulfillment of the Neocon Wish List
For a huge military buildup and Middle East energy control

In September 2000, one year before 9/11, the Bush team's neocon think tank PNAC (Project for a New American Century) published a plan for global domination called "Rebuilding America's Defenses". (Top Bush Administration figures like Cheney, Perle, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld et al. were signers of PNAC's Statement of Principles.) Their plan called for a huge boost in defense spending, full spectrum dominance over all nations and regions (including outer space), long term petro-resource control with permanent Middle East bases, and a preemptive war policy against recalcitrant states. However, they openly conceded that such a huge "transformation" would take forever "absent some cataclysmic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."

4) Political bonanza for Bush/Rove team
Instant irresistable power in Congress, media and the polls

In 1999, two years before the September 11 attacks, presidential candidate George W. Bush was already talking about the political benefits of attacking Iraq, according to his former ghost writer, Mickey Herskowitz. Bush: "One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade... if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed."

Bush's former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill recounted that at their first Cabinet meeting in January, 2001, Iraq oil concession maps were circulated and discussed and that Bush baldly told them to "find me a way" to take Iraq.

-The War in Iraq is all about establishing control over oil for the forseeable future, and we will never try to exit the area

-The anthrax scare was also perpetuated by the US govt.

"So why did the White House go on Cipro on the very day of the World Trade Center attacks? Larry Klayman said, 'We believe that the White House knew or had reason to know that an anthrax attack was imminent or underway.' "

What else am I missing? Someone help me connect all the conspiracy dots here.
