One more trip down the rabbit hole

What did the US do to make people so angry that they would kill
themselves in order to attack symbols of US global power? 19 people
decided they were going to hijack airplanes - and crash them into major
US buildings. Why would they want to do that?
"They hate our freedoms" is no reason. Something about the past fifty
years of US global power politics has created large numbers of people
whose main life motivation is to attack the USA. What aspects of US
foreign policy might have aided in creating 'international terrorist
networks'? And why did the Pakistani ISI wire transfer $100,000 to
Mohammed Atta some days before 9/11? And why did Bush tell the FBI to
'back off' on investigations of Saudis? And where did the Taliban come
from?
Using mostly Saudis was probably key to the 9/11 planning, since they
are US 'allies' who could easily get visas. The US government likely
found out about planned hijackings of commercial during the summer of
2001 - thus Ashcroft decides to stop flying based on a still-classified
Justice Dept. report - and they decided to do nothing to stop the
hijackings - not imagining that the hijackings would turn into kamikaze
runs on the WTC.
I recall on Sep 12 2001 on a cable news channel, a young girl tearfully
exclaiming, "I believe that America does only good in the world - I
just have to believe that!" Prominently featured, very dramatic - yet
not a very accurate position. There are a lot of people in prisons in
repressive Mideast countries that are good friends with the US due to
their oilfields - and those people might have angry relatives.
The Bin Ladins were a respected family in Saudi Arabia, best friends
with the House of Saud - kind of like the Rockefellers or the Bechtels,
here in the USA - and best friends with the Bushes as well (for
example, in the Carlyle Group arrangement) - a relationship that was
well greased with oil money. The Saudi royals never showed that
nationalistic ambition for independence; they enjoyed their client
state status. Saudi military members recieved training from the US, and
Saudi visas were expedited.
So, it is odd how 100+ Saudi nationals were flown out of the US on a
private charter the day after 9/11 with special permission from Bush,
when all flights were still officially grounded - and the FBI was
banned from talking to any of them!
And yes, the nonsense about the bombs in the towers, the missle hitting
the Pentagon, the 'vanishing' flight 93, are just distraction - fluff
put out to avoid attention and discussion of the real issues (it's also
convenient that if the US government bombed itself, then we don't have
to have worrisome discussions about 'terrorist motivations' and US
foreign policy).
The many warnings leading up to 9/11, however, do point to clear
foreknowledge of terrorist hijacking plans by the Bush administration -
plans that were deliberately allowed to come to fruition. You won't
hear much discussion of the put options placed against United and
American on the 'controlled demolition' circuit, nor will you hear
discussion of multiple FBI requests for FISA warrents, or why Ashcroft
quit flying on commercial airliners, or why the Bush Administration
claimed repeatedly after 9/11 that only 'conspiracy theorists' would
claim the US had had warnings of any kind. No, all you get is
ridiculous nonsense, which certainly looks like a deliberate smear
campaign designed to put an end to discussion of Bush complicity in
9/11.
End.
