Yesterday I was stuck in front of Fox “News” for some minutes on both sides of 1:00 PM US East Coast time. It was one of the blonds and some character presented as a terrorism or ISIS expert. It seemed to me that the purpose was to prepare Americans for the next false flag attack. ISIS, we were told, will be branching out and bringing its bombing attacks to America.
All of these bombing attacks have anomalies that the media never notices. Whatever officials say is reported as factual. How these bombings serve Washington’s agendas is never mentioned. The bombings often have the same pattern—brothers who conveniently leave their IDs on the scene. I suppose that having hit on an explanation that worked, the explanation is used repeatedly.
Liberalism has helped to make Western peoples blind by creating the belief that noble intentions are more prevalent than corrupt intentions. This false belief blinds people to the roles played by deception and coercion in governing. Consequently, the true facts are not perceived and governments can pursue hidden agendas by manipulating news.

I love some of your stuff. I’m a Christian and a conservative.
None of these bombers have protested their innocence and said they were framed. Not to mention the shooters who did their violence in front of scores of eyewitnesses.
Quite true that liberalism has blinded us by creating the belief that noble intentions are more prevalent than corrupt intentions. But the blindness goes in all directions. Many can’t believe that Muslims really want to slaughter us so it must be our fault. Some even blame 9/11 on a conspiracy of the US government.
It’s hard to disprove conspiracy theories, but here’s a big reason why I believe George Bush did not know about 9/11 in advance: if he knew the targets in advance he wouldn’t have been on the run most of the day of 9/11. He would have confidently appeared in public, giving rousing speeches and looking brave.

Osama Bin Laden said he was innocent. The 9/11 hijackers, the Paris shooters and bombers, the San Bernardino shooters — they did not survive for the most part.

Most skeptics are not motivated by the belief that Muslims could not commit atrocities. The large body of physical evidence is what creates 9/11 skeptics.
It’s hard to disprove conspiracy theories …
If conspiracy theories are based on conjecture, they are hard to disprove, but if they are based on physical evidence, they are not.
I believe George Bush did not know about 9/11 in advance: if he knew the targets in advance he wouldn’t have been on the run most of the day of 9/11.
If he knew of the targets in advance, he would have had to appear as if he did not know of the targets in advance. There are strange things about his behavior that day. I always thought, even before I doubted the official version, that his reaction in the schoolroom looked staged.
