I've been posting a series of contributions on another board, which set out why I believe 9/11 was planned and executed by one or more people within one or more government agencies; I'll reproduce them here when the series is complete.

In the course of my research, I came across the following statement, given by Senator Richard Durbin to the
HEARING before the COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS UNITED STATES SENATE on Friday July 30, 2004.

I think that we have to look on this, as Franklin Roosevelt viewed Pearl Harbor, World War II, and the need for an atomic bomb. He said, “We have got to break through all of the bureaucracy then in Washington, bring together the private sector, academia, and the public sector and create a Manhattan project and build some atomic bombs.” General Groves did it in a thousand days, had the bombs that ended the war through the Manhattan Project.

We are now 1,053 days after September 11, and we have to ask ourselves where is the Manhattan Project in technology for our government? It is something I have been preaching on here in this Committee with little or no success. There is bureaucracy fighting me off. “Please stay out of this. We do this ourselves,” and yet the reality of sharing fingerprints and even envisioning biometric screening says to me that we need to be as bold in our thinking as Franklin Roosevelt was about the atomic bombs when it comes to the technology to fight this war on terrorism.


It made me wonder, if WWII gave Roosevelt the impetus to drive the development of the atomic bomb, what will 9/11 drive the present (or perhaps next) administration to do? Will it be more of what many believe to have been the erosion of our civil liberties or, given that the Manhatten Project was kept hush hush, have we yet to see the true nature of what's in store for us?

Edit to fix title.

I don’t know that the Manhattan project is a good analogy, but I think the premise of the result of 9/11 is interesting. The atom bomb was developed because of the theory that a nuclear reaction was possible, and was also being pursued by the Germans, so it was more of an arms race than a result of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and I think it would have been developed regardless. As far as a parallel goes, I don’t think we are in an arms race with the terrorists, so the closest analogy is new technology to defeat them. That is if you go along with the official story.

A lot of people believe that 9/11 is what was needed to start the WOT, and so has already served its purpose. The assault on our civil rights and liberties is also another possibility, but we don’t need to give those up unless we let them and I think is a separate issue.

One other possibility that would be a good analogy is the development of the nuclear bunker buster. This so far has been rejected officially, but my guess they already have it. If it is used to bomb Iran or used for something else, it will spark WW3. Maybe this is what they want. Its scary to think about it.

well i stand by my opinions i expressed here:
www.abovetopsecret.com...

but i have to agree about the 2nd amendment. when that happens...im headed for the hills. literally. a .22 and a few boxes of ammo i can feed my family for a very long time.

heh being a former survival instructor has its up side. granted, it was at a summer camp but still.

and yeah, im not so much for the implanted chips. they can hack anything else why does anyone think a chip is secure? and im totally against mandatory implanting of newborns. a newborn doesnt have a say in it. it will be very interesting when they try to chip my newborn...most dr's dont like being told no in no uncertain terms. (use your imagination)
