Martin Armstrong On The Danger Of Conspiracy Theories

Submitted by Martin Armstrong via Armstrong Economics blog,

Conspiracy

 

If you want to hide something in plain view, exaggerate it to the point it becomes extreme and convert it to a conspiracy theory. This is a very standard in how to create propaganda and if you keep saying a lie, its becomes the truth to many without ever having to prove anything. To uncover the truth, takes digging. This I have discovered both in politics as well as market fundamentals.

The two big conspiracy theories to be exaggerated that cover up the truth are the 911 WTC Attack and the Kennedy Assassination. With the former, people take it to the extreme and claim there was not even an attack by terrorists and the whole thing was made up. Sorry, there was an attack and the government knew it was coming and allowed it to for three purposes

  • (1) eliminate the evidence on many cases in WTC7 including all my evidence that documented EVERY  market manipulation up to 1999 by the investment banks et al for which they are getting fined all the time today
  • (2) wipe out the evidence that would have exposed the missing $2 trillion in the Pentagon budget, and
  • (3) generate more power for government by allowing Americans to be victims as originally proposed in Operation Northwoods.

Now, that is far closer to the truth than claiming there was no Middle East terrorists involved at all, Strange, for that does not jive with Saudi Arabia threatening Russia with terrorism or the funding of ISIS to overthrow Syria which has now overthrown most of Iraq.

Patton George (1885-1945)

 

Then there is the Kennedy Assassination spun to be the product of the Mafia or with Oswald’s Russian connection. Eisenhower in his Farewell Address warned of the vast military complex that had grown out of World War II employing over 3 million people. There was no such industry before that war and the view was now Communism would take the world. My father was a Colonel under General Patton and you to tell me all the time about him as a child how he read the books of his opponent and how he accurately predicted that the real enemy would be Stalin and wanted to go all the way to Moscow.

Kennedy_Nixon_Debat_(1960)

In the Third 1960 Presidential Debate, Kennedy exposed the truth behind the decline in the Bretton Woods System – it was the vast expenditure on the military. Her said:

Now on the question of gold. The difficulty, of course, is that we do have heavy obligations abroad, that we therefore have to maintain not only a favorable balance of trade but also send a good deal of our dollars overseas to pay our troops, maintain our bases, and sustain other economies. 

The price of silver was rising and Kennedy set in motion the withdraw of silver from the monetary system. This too has been spun into a conspiracy theory  Here they have spun JFK’s Executive Order 11110 into the Federal Reserve killed Kennedy because he was taking their power to print currency away. You just can’t get any more far-fetched than that one.

Simply put, JFK also said the US current account deficit could be stopped at any time if the government stopped expanding its military worldwide for that was sending dollars offshore. If anyone had a motive, it was the very same people behind the NSA abuse of power – not the Federal Reserve, Mafia, or Russians. Just follow the money and you get closer to the truth – i.e. Halliburton, Cheney and the Iraq War against a nation who was against religious fanatics, the very terrorists who attacked the USA – go figure that one out without following the money. We took out two dictators who kept religious fanatics in check -Saddam Hussein and Muammar al-Gaddafi.

BTW, as soon as Halliburton was to be investigated, they moved to Dubai. Just follow the money.

Why have the conspiracy when you can have the Russians instead?

Far easier to fight a war with them than fight one against your own people...yes,yes?

There is no way in hell the military itself wants to be seen as the enemy of the American people...not after Vietnam.  Not after winning the Cold War.

Far better to let the politicians handle it...yes,yes?

"Vote for me so I can kill you"... Yes, yes?

Perhaps Eisenhower felt it was the only way to clear something that had been on his conscience for a long time. After all, Eisenhower did write the Army's official incident report which endorsed MacArthur's conduct in the Bonus Army incident.

The danger of conspiracy theories is that they are propagated by delusional nutjobs.

The intellectually challenged, clinicallly depressed, and/or those  chronically fearful of facing life's challenges rely on these lunatic fantasies to explain and justify their failures and inability to accept life's disappointments at face value.  

And then there are predators that come along that feed on these hoplessly fearful souls creating yet more misery. All they need is a nut with a delusion. 

Enter Messr. Armstrong and the others of the freak parade.

Do you wonder how 6 million Jewish people were marched into concentration camps without a riot? 

They were told they were boarding trains which would take them to work in factories.

Did you know that someone tried to warn them (a muscle man act who traveled the region, performing in taverns) but they told him he was nuts.

My read of history is completely different than yours. Hitler made clear his intentions.  There was no conspiracy.  Nobody marched into the concentration camps naive, but some underestimated the murderous impulse of the Nazi regime: they thought they were cheap labor, turned out there was a sadistic element.  Theirs was a common reaction from typically middle class people that don't have much experience with violent abusive people.  Similar to abused wives, children and the like.  Note that realization came soon, and in the Warsaw Ghetto the jews fought off the vastly better armed Nazis for months. They were outgunned and defeated and the choice reduced to dying immediately or living to fight another day.

The problem I am highlighting here is different.  It is the suspension of disbelief that dominates a particularly miserable type of person.  They are easy to use and abuse.  Look, it is fine to suspend disbelief in a movie theater, but not in real life with real problems.  The facts become so hard to take that these people  choose to accept crap as the truth.  Not only accept it, but it becomes impossible to see any other possibility, even if it is a more parsimonious explanation consistent with the facts.  

The truth is that Obama is just another problem, but that doesn't make Putin any less of a problem.  The truth is that the petrodollar is a meaningless construction.  What makes the dollar THE reserve currency is that 70% (estimate) of the world's debt is dollar denominated.  You need dollars and will scrounge for dollars if necessary because a bond "binds" you to the dollar.  It isn't going anywhere as long as this binds.  I'm not even going to entertain most of the stupid conspiratorial things I read form people like Armstrong.  Just check his bio.

Playing Cassandra may be a noble calling in some limited sense, but I can't see it.  Usually it just makes you a nut.

Here is the article.  But another man attempted to warn those in Warsaw ghetto.  He was a muscle man traveling act.  He died of tetanus while pushing a nail through a board with his bare hands, punctued his thigh and succumbed to infection.

Bunny, I have no doubt that there were plenty of people who warned people just how insane Hitler was, but the facts were already available to all.  And as he or others escaped the camps, it was the facts that were important and weighed

Again, there is a chasm between those who state their observation of facts and those who spin bullshit in order to exploit a certain kind of person.

Just read the testimony of Hans Frank at Nuremberg. He claimed "guilt on the German people for a thousand years" but still found it within himself to declare death wrong for him because the Pope said so.

There was probably a lot of truth to that I might add. ALL OF EUROPE WAS IN ON THE HOLOCAUST...NOT JUST THE GERMANS.

Even FDR wasn't "clean" as they say.

You need not read the transcripts....as extraordinary as they are.  Justice Jackson himself is all you need to know.  "We'll kill them in discovery." Not even the Russians...who tried to blame Katyn on the Germans at trial!...could stand in the way of the enormity of "the summary."

And yes....US Marines wore teeth around their neck.  And yes...they used skulls as candle holders too.

They were NOT  however allowed pen or paper.

Incredibly one Marine used his bible and a pen and wrote "with the old breed" (R Leigh Sledge)...one of the greatest war memoirs ever written.

Stop venting sometime AND READ THE BOOK.  That one is a true page turner....

There is only one thing that really needs to be taught in history class at school and that is WWII. Not only about battles and who killed whom, death camps etc. but also about propaganda and how easy it is to make somebody believe something. "The bigger they lie, the more likely that people will believe it" or something of that matter was said by the Nazis themselves.

We believe that these events can never happen again but they happen still the world over. We believe they cannot happen to us in the West anymore because somehow we are enlightened. But the people that governed the world after WWII and who lived through those horror woving to never let it happen again, these people don't govern the world anymore. Now there is a new generation of nut jobs coming to the political scene.

I repeat what I stated below to another poster:

"Why does it matter that the Fed was created? The Fed is merely a lender of last resort by design. It lends to banks at terms it sets typically in the money market, who in turn lend to everyone else. In normal times, it is nearly invisible. When things go awry, it is obvious.

Is there colluson and corruption? Sure, but collusion and corruption is a part of human society and predate lending in all forms.

Before the Fed, J P Morgan performed the same function. Before him, the Rothschild's did. this role of central banking and its associate credit money just happen to coexist concurrently with the greatest expansion in human welfare in recorded history. Not saying these institutions are entirely to be credited for this expansion, but they did play a contributing role. At the same time, they are not completely responsible for all the problems of the last few years. They surely did play a big role in them, one must admit.

The technological revolutions we take for granted likely wouldn't be possible without the low rates associated with central banking. I acknowledge the good just as I acknowledge the bad."

Oswald did it's picture

"First, the striking aircraft alone simply could not have brought down either of the two buildings in the manner in which they fell, much less a third building which was not hit by a plane…This means the attackers had assistance on the ground, and it had to have been active before the attacks occurred: preparing buildings for controlled demolition is not something done haphazardly in the midst of chaos. Second, only two intelligence agencies had the expertise, assets, access and political protection to execute 9/11 in the air and on the ground: our CIA and Israel's Mossad. Only one had the incentive, using the “who benefits” principle: Mossad. And that incentive dovetailed perfectly with the neo-con’s agenda and explicitly expressed need for a catalytic event to mobilize the American public for their wars, using American military power to destroy Israel’s enemies.”

-- Dr Alan Sabrosky , a  US Marine Corps veteran, a Vietnam veteran, Director of Studies at the US Army War College, and delusional nut-job

Let me just say this.  Sabrosky may be the smartest expert on the matter around, but he can't say with certainty he knows the destructive effect of all that fuel igniting and striking a building at such high speed.  He also can't say he knows that the building was designed to withstand an impact from a commercial airliner.  Nobody, not even the designers, can know this.  It was an unforeseen contingency never planned for.  If he does say he knows these things, he is working an exploitative agenda or is a delusional nutjob.

From my own experience, I have written code that produced an output that couldn't be exactly predicted even though I understood and validated every rule.  There was iterative fractal properties involved that generated complexy outputs from reasonably simply rules.

Another example, not tto long ago, a fuel tanker hit a concrete overpass column supporting a 4 lane highway I drive.  The structure was designed to take the collision, but the fuel ignited and literrally metled the metal inside the concrete.  There were melted steel icicles hanging from that thing that warped the concrete aorund it.  They had to tear it all down. 

Not everything good or bad that happens is by design.  The dude is stepping away from facts and into delusional/sadistic speculation when he says that Mossad is responsible with absolutley no support.  Especially when facts regarding the planning and people lead directly to in Laden and his bastards.

Didn't down arrow you on your response, but could you please at least "count the ways" that the information in those links are wrong because most of what is in their is hard fact?

The only thing I will agree with you on is that the word Zionist or Talmudic Ashken-Nazi should replace the word "Jew". Trust me I from time to time loosely use the "J" word and must refrain because it really shouldn't be synonymous with the 'True Torah' faith who can't stand the state of Israel and are called "self-hating" by the American and Israeli crowd.

When you slander the Zionist' they loves it when you use the J-word because like all cockroaches they hide behind the anti-semite label to castigate anyone that denigrates their race which is not Middle Eastern but in fact is Eastern European mixed heritage!

Martin Armstrong is a former NWO lackey and no longer part of the club.  He is on par with Jeffrey Christian and I don't feel he has any credibility.  My grandfather always said never listen to people or trust people who tell you some truth but also lie to you.  Armstrong is a hack.   I corresponded with him and found him to be arrogant, proud, and self absorbed.  That's his flaw.  He can't look outside of his ridgid construct of the world.  He very well might have Asperger's.  I find his above article insulting.  Trust your gut and your intuition. Sure folks like Alex Jones are passionate about this or that and are out of keel about certain issues, but they continue to show the other side of stories and you see patterns form in social and political directions.  I'll never forget in Austin, when Alex met the same DPS officer who arrested him 10 years earlier at a protest in the Texas Capital.  He asked the officer, "do you remember arresting me?"  He said yes.  Alex asked, "Do you remember how I said they'd be warrentless blood draws for DUI?"  He said yes.  Then he asked him, "And what happened?"  The DPS officer mummbled, "Now we have warrentless forced blood draws for DUI's."

 

It's not about conspiracies; it's about agendas.  Yes, the motor companies didn't conspire to put the trolley companies out of business in the 1930's through 1950's  Now it's a fact and is documented that they did, like countless other things' Gulf of Tonkin, Pearl Harbor, etc.  Agendas.

Like Andrew Gause the monetary historian says on his radio show Secret World of Money, "When you speak out or expose certain things "the boys" don't like, suddenly you don't get the calls to be on CNN or this or that financial talk show ect."

I see Armstrong as a man desperate to get back what he lost and he won't.  It's really insulting for him to hold the views he has and drop his articles here and around the internet on the sites he does, in a way, mocking us as readers from the other side of the isle.  He's basically a John Perkin's who didn't make good  on a book deal.  I admire John Perkins for telling the truth, but he can't wash his hands at what he participated in.  There are also many financial folks, like Jim Paplava or Doug Casey who are sharp as a tack on certain financial matters, but fear the heat they'd take if they told the truth about various things, so they avoid the issues.

Hey Martin, where was all this when you were part of Dollar, Inc?  Seems you were pretty quiet back in those days.  You told me their was no government manipulation of the markets in any way.  Now you say just the opposite.  A little bit of truth, a little bit of lies. 

That's how I see it.

It was some time ago now, but i think it was back in the 1980's, that the L.A. Reader had an article stating that the car companies didn't puposely drive the trollies out of business.

Early days photos of modern Los Angleles show areas of empty land.  Those areas did not have trolley service. Those areas have long since filled in.  The automobile became popular, just as cell phones became popular.  The auto became the more practical way to get around a sprawling metropolitan region.

There are various rail lines that have been built to downtown Los Angeles, but a lot of people don't live within easy walking distance of the lines or the stations.

Every mode of thinking starts with a prior. 

This is very true.  Man's education K through BA is one of learning through previous examples.  But by the time we've graduated from college, we have a collection of our own experiences, some of which contradict the a priori explanation of what we were taught to believe.

In matters of spirituality, ethics and morality, love and hate, good and evil, business, etc.,  our own personal experiences may be different from the books we've read or the classes we took.  

Suddenly empiricism emerges.

There many reasons why people and firms who used to get credit cannot now.  The chief reason in my view is that global population growth is slowing.  This leads to weak demand, which makes it harder to service debt.  Lenders have to provision for losses and they become more conservative.  Populationcontraction is not a banker's fault.  

Plus the government interferes in thier industrry in staggering ways, making it even tougher to accomodate lending.  The government is merely reacting to the last crisis instead of thinking about anticipating future crises.   

I don't really disagree with the "things are unravelling" meme of ZH, just think that the blame is placed on a symptom, not the cause.  It is arguable that a first cause identification is not even possible in the anthills we build, but seems population growth is the basic start point.

Credit money is money.  You don't pay it back you pay a penalty at the discretion of the lender.  You use it to buy stuff.  You may not like that type of money for whatever reaosn, but it has served its purpose pretty well over the last decades.

What about this, Sherlock?  

The CIA Kennedy Assassination Theory

The CIA Kennedy assassination theory is a prominent John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory. The CIA's potential involvement was frequently mentioned during the 1960s and 1970s when the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was involved in plots to assassinate foreign leaders, particularlyFidel Castro.[1] Kennedy was quoted as telling an official within his administration: "I want to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds."[2] According to author James Douglass, Kennedy was assassinated because he was turning away from the Cold War and seeking a negotiated peace with the Soviet Union.[3] Accusations and confessions of and by alleged conspirators, as well as official government reports citing the CIA as uncooperative in investigations, have at times renewed interest in these conspiracy theories.

All other conspiracy theories pale before the Fabergé egg of conspiracy theories:

CHERNOBYL 

Did William J Casey order the CIA asset at Chernobyl to cause a meltdown and create a blockbuster event to eclipse the Congressional hearings that were about to begin on the Challenger disaster?

Did the Sainted Ronald Reagan overrule NASA and Thickol and order the Challenger to launch in spite of the extremely cold weather the night before?  So he could talk to the astronauts in space while giving the State of the Union address that night?

Chernobyl did indeed overshadow the Challenger hearings and Reagan's loyal soldier, Bill Casey, Director of the CIA, developed brain cancer, was given a lobotomy, and was dead 53 weeks after the Ukrainian reactor melted down.

Proving once and for all, that there is honor amongst the slimeballs in  the intelligence community. 

Like everything else, our taste for conspiracies non est disputandum.

"If you argue with a madman, it is extremely probable that you will get the worst of it; for in many ways his mind moves all the quicker for not being delayed by things that go with good judgment. He is not hampered by a sense of humour or by clarity, or by the dumb certainties of experience. He is the more logical for losing certain sane affections. Indeed, the common phrase for insanity is in this respect a misleading one. The madman is not the man who has lost his reason. The madman is the man who has lost everything except his reason."

The jesuits are khazars, the swiss are their praetorian guard and they are running the show.

The Jesuit Vatican.

Orsini
Breakspear

All controlled through the Jesuit Order and their Knights of Malta & Teutonic Knights all based in missile protected Borgo Santo Spirito in Rome.

"This is the Guelph and the Ghibelline power over mankind"

you can't have both. it's either the one or the other of those two ancient enemies

now, if you really wanted to concoct a good conspiracy theory around those elements, you'd have to pit Guelphs in the Vatican who control the CIA but not the NSA while the Ghibellines have a Secret Emperor stitching together the EU into something appropriately nefarious, with control over the NSA but not the CIA. but then you'd still need some seasoning of Elders of Zions having separate alliances with both factions. the Knights of Malta would of course be Guelph, while the Secret Second Teutonic Knight Order (SeSe) is sworn to the Secret Emperor, and so Ghibelline

a good conspiracy theory must be constructed around facts and non-debunkable assertions. I'm afraid the "the Jesuit are Khazars" has to go, simply too easy to debunk

All conspiracy theorists need to watch this Aurini video, even if it makes their heads explode:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew_7RC8Ok5M

He says basically, yes, our leaders are psychopaths, but maybe they don't have a big plan to screw us all. Maybe they just want us to think they have a brilliant evil plan, as they stumble from one unforeseen crisis to another.

If Aurini is right, conspiracy theorists are actually helping the powers-that-be by making them seem more capable than they really are. If the government can murder thousands of its own citizens in cold blood and brainwash the masses to believe it was an Islamist attack, I'd better get down on my knees and kowtow to that government!

On anything Martin Armstrong writes, it can take me a few readings to get his point.  In the piece above, I don't think Armstron is saying that conspiracy theorists are idiots or fools.  I believe Armstrong is cautioning that the perpetrators of events like 911 or the JFK Assassination create their own conspiracy theories and distribute them in order to discredit any honest investigators of those events.

In addition, on the 911 events, Armstrong is noting that he has a personal dog in that fight: "(1) eliminate the evidence on many cases in WTC7 including all my evidence that documented EVERY market manipulation up to 1999 by the investment banks et al for which they are getting fined all the time today".  Note Armstrong's words "INCLUDING ALL MY EVIDENCE".

I have read that a lot of Enron evidence also just happened to be in one of the WTC buildings burned on 911.  Close buddies of Dubya Bush ran Enron.

I have also read that the paperwork on the $2 trillion of missing Defense Department just happened to be in the part of the Pentagon that burned on 911.

I would add that governments call citizens who believe that OTHER governments conspire "patriots", and call citizens who believe that THEIR OWN government ALSO conspires "conspriracy theorists".

Well Thanks Marty for wasting space and gening up a nonsense debate about largely unproveable claims.  

And BTW, it is public record that Cheney gave away all of his Haliburton stock to charity before becoming VP and Johnson embedded Haliburton into the system.   

How about something a little factual and topical - like how Obama's donors have been fleecing the US taxpayers. 

Like where the money for Pandemic Preparedness disappeared to:

https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/10/17/washingtons-action-plan-for-ebola-squalid-waste-and-pork-barrel-spending-by-the-cdc-and-nih-seasoned-with-corruption-at-hhs/

And as Mollie Hemingway explains in The Federalist, this additional layer of bureaucracy has been MIA on Ebola, perhaps because the head bureaucrats diverted funds to a political crony.
…nobody has even discussed the fact that the federal government not ten years ago created and funded a brand new office in the Health and Human Services Department specifically to coordinate preparation for and response to public health threats like Ebola. The woman who heads that office, and reports directly to the HHS secretary, has been mysteriously invisible from the public handling of this threat. And she’s still on the job even though three years ago she was embroiled in a huge scandal of funneling a major stream of funding to a company with ties to a Democratic donor—and away from a company that was developing a treatment now being used on Ebola patients.

Armstrong just exposed himself.

Yeah I believe jets, taken over and flown by xacto knife weilding (ooh scary) neophyte pilot arabs, who were universally panned as very poor pilots, did death defying feats of aeronotic manuver, which couldn't be done by our best fighter pilots, crashed  into buildings, including the pentagon, flying 150 ft. off the ground at 500 mph, leaving a cylindrical hole, and no remnants of a plane at all 3 supposed crash sites.

That resulting "heat" melted steel girders collapsed and turned to dust in their own footprint, including buildings that weren't hit, and that one of the pilots drivers license was later found in the street (imagine that).

In the meantime, as the planes were being flown, phone calls from passengers were being impossibly received to corroborate the whole thing.

Yeah, I believe that//

People do get scared when a knife like object is pulled on them.

The hijackers basically steered the planes to their destination.  With some training, it was not an impossible task. The loop in on The Pentagon was not something a fighter pilot could not have done.

Remnants of the jetliner were found at The Pentagon and photographed.

"That resulting "heat" melted steel girders collapsed and turned to dust in their own footprint..."

None of the steel turned into dust, nor was there any liquid steel photographed.

Nor was it impossible to receive phone calls from the jetliners.

Show me the proof that there were terrorists on the planes...and by proof I don't mean a bandana and passport that were magically not harmed at all while everything around them was caught on fire or blown up. 

If it was a terrorist attack like they say then all the stuff surrounding it shouldn't have questions like said bandana, passport, made up videos after the fact of bin laden, the inplausibility that 3 guys with utility knives could take over a plane and do this FOUR times. Then of course there is WTC 7 that somehow came down and all the physics defying feats these cave dwellers were able to pull off. There are many other issues with the narrative.

To me, reality really doesn't have so much BS and questions surrounding it. If the official story is true then there wouldn't be these issues surrounding it. It'd be pretty cut and dry.

I always find it amusing when people who buy the terrroists story mock those who don't and think it si ridiculous yet somehow don't think belieivng a story that defies the laws of physics and logic isn't ridiculous.

"Show me the proof that there were terrorists on the planes...and by proof I don't mean a bandana and passport that were magically not harmed at all while everything around them was caught on fire or blown up."

 

There is plenty of proof.  The air traffic recording of Atta saying "we have other planes", for one. 

The fact that planes diverted from their scheduled flight paths.  Phone calls from passengers and flight attendents on the hijacked jetliners.  At least one flight attendent describing which seats the hijackers were sitting in.

 

"...the inplausibility that 3 guys with utility knives could take over a plane and do this FOUR times"

Actually, it shows the opposite, considering it happened four times. Also, there were 19 hijackers and 4 planes.  Three planes had 5 hijackers and one had 4.  None had only three.

Pilots were trained to fly the plane and flight attendents were trained to assist the passengers during the flight.  They were not trained to perform hand to hand combat with terrorists.

Interesting thread with some revealing comments. The limited hangout types and gateway keepers have been noted. Sorry to see some of the old timers on ZH are falling into these categories. The real story will come out eventually but predicting when is like trying to call the "market" these days. Some people will be embarrassed by what they have posted.

Here's something to consider as these events are fairly recent. As long as the Wanta story is covered up, even with a voice printed recording and documented SWIFT transactions, the psy-op will continue unabated. The timing of Holder's resignation stands out but is being ignored. As soon as a definitive and undeniable hole is created in even one of these cover stories and disinfo campaigns, it will bring down the whole house of cards.

Articles like this serve a purpose besides attracting page views. Like the Bundy Ranch "event", it draws out the people who pose a threat. This strategy works even better on a Friday evening when posters are relaxing with their preferred intoxicants.

Be careful and keep in mind who is lurking here on ZH. Bear in mind that there are people earning a living by scrutinizing everything that goes on here. ZH is a major player reporting on the machinery that supports this shit show. If you sometimes feel overwhelmed and confused by the sheer volume of conflicting information you're exposed to, know that this is by design. ZH is no longer just a fringe website about financial chicanery.

If there is one lie in the official story, then the whole story is a lie.

Planes don't fly into steel girded buildings whole, w/o scattering plane parts below. Cell phone calls can't be made above 10K ft. in a moving jet airplane.

The Tsaranov brothers were known to the FBI (the FBI had to admit it after their mother said so), so why did the FBI ask the public who they were?

Autistic kids do not get off over 100 rounds of semi automatic gunfire in minutes with every hit being a kill shot. The coroner said the children were killed with a "long gun", yet the "assailant" was only found supposedly w/ a handgun.

If following the money is your view then the Fed with the printing press far out guns the military!

did anyone see that bit on George Will outing Nixon for treason concerning his dealings with the SoVietnam government in 1968 before the election? Reagan did it as well with the arm for hostages deal with Iran. just like i am sure that the same people who have Obamas real birth certificate are pulling his strings. some think LBJ offed JFK, and that he wanted to escalate the war. he went to half a million troops in short order, so i have a difficult time believing that LBJ wanted to make peace in Vietnam. then why did Nixon (the first Manchurian president) want to scuttle the peace talks? was his aim to further China's interests in the region? (China later fought a war with Vietnam and lost) the second Manchurian president then handed WTO to China, made them the worlds largest economy. Nixon was a rabid anti-communist, he sat on the HOUAC, but on all things China he was a pussy cat. and Bush continued the pro-China policies, (including their symbolic dismantling of his spy plane, he still signed WTO two weeks after 9/11) eventually handing over control of the US economy to Bejing. the tech giants (MS, Google) went in to clean up their political dissenters, and with what they learned headed back to the US to help build the NSA. is it making sense Ducklings?? two weeks after 9/11, does everyone here know that China shares a border with Afghanistan? where was Bin Laden all that time that we were looking for him? has anyone other than this writer even mentioned the possibility? NO......

and the deafening silence should give you a clue

Don't forget that the Chinesse made millions of illegal contributions to the Clintons and Ron Brown told Clinton he was subpoened to testify before a federal Grand Jury and his aiprlpne crashed into the side of a mountain just days before and a subsequent autopsy found a bullet in his skull.

The word, conspiracy, is actually a legal term.

Cornell University Law School defines it in the following way:

"An agreement between two or more people to commit an illegal act, along with an intent to achieve the agreement's goal.... Conspiracy applies to both civil and criminal offenses. For example, you may conspire to commit murder, or conspire to commit fraud."

So, Mr. Armstrong, let's dispense with the bullshit disinformation.

Amazing how they knew that WTC7 would collapse at free fall speed without being hit by a plane and destroy all the SEC files  -and let it happen.

The suggestion by Armstrong is BS- Yes "we" knew it would happen  -but we also knew that the perpetrators were the Mossad/Saudis/CIA and Neocon dualies acting in their capacity as Israeli nationals.

There might be some inaccuracies in that report. I'm not referring to the spelling.

What's the purpose of the pointy spike on those tin foil hats? My tin foil hat doesn't have one.
