Read the insurance docs, contemplate how insurance on this level works then comeback and read the article again. Then ask yourself, to get to your current state of 'belief' what verifiable evidence have you been presented with?

Sounds like a propaganda piece to me. The law enforcement agencies are probably watching this thread now to find out where they can bust some real users and steal their hard earned cash. I believe that this stuff has a higher price than gold.

I hear the flashers are working on an app to counteract this initiative. Green zones to mark where it is safe to get your tackle out. Updates on where the police are dozing in their cars. Financial reports tracking where the fine money is going, vanity mirror functionality! In a bid to cut costs, the flashers are harnessing the power of the internet to use developers in Bangladesh. Analysts say at a fraction of the cost and development time it is making the long awaited NTT roll out look somewhat flaccid.

Bad people leading good. Problem is we're too dumb to fathom out that the bad people of the equation are often in cahoots. Study it enough and you'll find out. Movies like this are made to stir the emotions. National pride, heroes, religion etc, are all tools to fragment and keep your head in a spin. Take a look at the picture of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto on wikipedia - what do you see?

Like any insurance con job - you got to make out you're still hurting to continue getting the payouts. http://www.oecd-nea.org/law/legislation/japan-docs/ Remember this reality is based on the repetition of non-validatable data and well timed press releases.

@tamarama
nice spot - thanks. Never was good at spelling. The spell of spelling eh! I remember Fisk now, he's from a long line of "perpetuate the meme" controlled opposition types.
The nuggets are not in what the person means to tell, but what they have to to convey their message. That's why I think Huxley is invaluable for anyone's understanding of the goals of powerful people exercised through corporations and government. Fisk will have you chasing your tail.
To bee or not to bee - that is the question.
Good luck with the debate.

@Tamarama - thanks
I am aware of the work you mention but am yet to wrestle the Fisk tomb. I can't say however that I agree with you that there is no connection based on the author having passed away.
it's 1366 pages long though - a bit longer than a you tube clip
We're talking about two different media formats here - though I get you're point.
Sometimes, however, it may just take a short media clip to get you on the path to a better understanding. Conversely after 1366 pages you may still be as clueless as you were before you opened the book.

@Tamarama I think you are theorizing that 'conspiracy theorists' are conspiring. :)
What books do you recommend? I'm interested.
It's not a one stop deal, but how about you get hold of an original version of Quigley's Tragedy and Hope. Huxley, Brzezinski, Attali also offer good insight. Lord Black is coming out with something soon, I think - should be a good read. Or you could just switch on the O'Reilly factor. No, but seriously - just trying to help.

I see the Islamic terrorists as largely unhappy with their own failed lives in a once powerful, but now hopelessly >decaying >country.
Looks like no ones happy.
American troops are taking their own lives in the largest numbers since records began to be kept in 1980. In 2008, there were 128 confirmed suicides by serving army personnel and 41 by serving marines. Another 15 army deaths are still being investigated. The toll is another of the terrible consequences that have flowed from Washington's neo-colonial wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

@williB I feel this is indeed a problem with your technique of investigation. This is a criminal investigation. In which one has to suspend disbelief until one can attain the bigger picture. One needs to understand the people involved, their movements, the groups they are connected with and where their loyalties actually lie. One needs to understand, how the world works - not the pantomime presented to you by the mainstream media. The current scientific/skeptic approach, is to find the first point of failure - then consider the hypothesis debunked and move on - Poirot would not be proud. You'll have to scratch a little deeper, I think. Terrorism has been used to control the masses for centuries, it's admitted, after the fact, in the writings of many a member of the aristocracy and their bureaucratic classes. At the very least, the connections between notable families which surround this event should be investigated, doesn't one think? Or should we just wait for some damage limitation documentary to carefully deliver your mind to the desired place? As others have pointed out, who carried out the event is a moot point.

Be nice if we could of got Osama/Usama in for trial eh? You know, him on the stand admitting it to the world. Would have put the whole subject to bed. He could have told us how he arranged a military exercise on the same day to help get around Norad. He could have told us how fires burn downwards with no air. He could have told us why he targeted the Pentagon. He could have told us the target of the plane that crashed. He could of told us whether he just got lucky with building seven. He could have told us how to make paper passports that are impervious to aircraft crashes and burning buildings :). A man with such genius and such knowledge going to waste at the bottom of the sea. We could have learnt so much to help us prevent future events. We could have asked - Osama/Usama, why did you do this? Alas based on a suspect video, we have a 'habeas corpus' loving 'yes we can make a martyr' president putting a kill order on the guy. No fair trail. No way for the public to hear his side. Convenient? Just could have been. IMHO - Bunch of patsies used and then set up. It really is pantomime and ignorance may just well be bliss.
Coming to a cinema near you - al-Qaeda 2 - the sequel. 'This time they're angry'.
