Exactly...

Imagine if the "real false flag' was done by groups who want to see the destruction of the U.S. what better way to do this than to divide the people and make them think "the U.S. government did it"?.....

Sorry but the claims by some that there U.S. government would do this makes no sense in the least.

U.S. politicians also live in the U.S..... U.S. government officials also live in the U.S., and so do their families many who are not gathered in just one place....

The people who gain from something like this are those who want to destroy the United States...

Why would the U.S. government want to destroy the U.S.?......

The people who keep claiming the U.S. was behind 9/11 are blind... Why is it that two Chinese high ranking military officers wrote a book "Unrestrictive Warfare" and in that book they clearly state the wars of the future have to be fought using terrorists, and one of the examples they use is "using Bin Laden to make a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center wold paralize the U.S. military and the government.... They would never expect this........ This book was written in 1999, with the backing of the Chinese government... yet you still get people claiming, without any real proof that it was the United States.....

China and the Final War for Resources

"What's coming will be more devastating to the U.S. economy than any nuclear strike..." - The Asia Times

I. Unrestricted War

Unrestricted War: China’s Master Plan to Destroy America is a treatise for world domination written in 1999 by People’s Liberation Army Colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui. In order for China to become a dominant global power over the United States, the PLA emphasizes “The Final War over Resources”, must be won.

The Colonels state that the aggressor nation “must adjust its own financial strategy, use currency revaluation or devaluation as primary weapons, and combine means such as getting the upper hand in public opinion and changing the rules sufficiently to make financial turbulence and economic crisis appear in the targeted country or area, weakening its overall power, including its military strength. Whether it be the intrusions of hackers, a major explosion at the World Trade Center, or a bombing attack by bin Laden, all of these greatly exceed the frequency bandwidths understood by the American military..."

People really need to wake up....

This, plus the fact that the Chinese and the Russian government have not only been calling for a new Global Economy, and they have been making moves to devaluate the dollar and change world opinion on the U.S. should tell you who was really behind 9/11, and who are the master planners who want to destroy the United States.

Very interesting-Never heard that before...Bin Laden gets around does he not?
Working for the US in Afghanistan during the soviet invasion,now working for China against the USA...
But I have doubts-especially the bit about "they would never expect this"...
No of course they wouldn`t expect it,unless some clever Chinese dude decides to print it onto the internet for all to see...

Why on earth has this (if true) been kept out of the MSM.Why has it not received more attention on the web?
If true,I would have thought this would have been gigantic news all over the place.

edit: The link to the source does not work,and the other link goes to a Pakistani Defense forum,not exactly cast iron in terms of accuracy I am willing to bet.
Any better sources on the same subject?

In response to why I believe its advantageous for the US government to be the leader in 911 as well as a possible future nuke hit.

Did 911 destroy america? Or weaken it?

911 resulted in a trillion dollar pipeline deal through Afghanistan and changed the worlds 2nd largest oil resource from Euros back to Dollars.

Al Queda - lost 2 major areas of operations and had to move back into the hills and mountains as we are led to believe.

So what did or has the war on terror achieved? Its certainly not made Al Queda a fortune in arms supplies and sales. They havent crumbled the power of America in fact with the Patriot Act, Guantanamo etc America is far more powerful than it was in 2000.

I take the point that american senators etc have families in these american cities all over. You dont need to have the approval of hundreds to detonate a device in an american city for it to be a conspirated action.

With the levels of intelligence available and operational limits it would be rather simple to convince someone they are about to commit the greatest terror act ever witnessed. Perhaps thats where Osama comes in.

If you think intelligence is not capable of such things consider how MI6 managed to keep being on the verge of selling Argentina more exocets in various guises and frauds during the falklands. Unbeknownst to them they were dealing with MI6 consistently, and unbeknownst to the majority involved in the attempted trades. Spanning various countries and cultures.

You could also consider the power of what the terms of unrestrictive warfare means. To use terrorism to attack key targets is fine. You really believe islamic fundamentalism will eventually destroy america with car bombs, plane attacks, and the odd dirty bomb?

Again what happens when a terrorist act - lets say nuclear goes off in an american city - and the finger points to Iran.

Unrestrictive warfare, America immediately has the right and will to defend itself and has no need to consult the UN and has carte blanche to attack, invade, and regime change Iran in the interest of self defence. They become, unrestricted

And the Khuzestan oil starts pumping in dollars not euros

China versus the USA is a relatively separate issue in that the focus is on the possible conspiracy to attack america with a nuclear device in a false flag op.

But I will say this to elude to what I mentioned earlier about the illusion of sides. Consider the chinese financial threat to the USA. If China does cash in its bonds and hurt the US economy, all the more reason for the US to secure more oil resources in the middle east.

Not to steer the conversation away from where it has evolved, but I found this interesting:
"Portland bewitches travelers, rain or shine" @ CNN.com

It may have been listed earlier but I found it today (the 21st) - the article has an update time for the 8th, though.
After all this talk of the nuclear strike drills, etc. going on in Portland, I find it...well, interesting that CNN is running a traveling advertisement for the city.
I have nothing against the city, it's just a bit of a coincidence.
Or it means nothing at all...

What do you guys think?

I found this ironic in your link,in the context of this thread:

"In the winter, the residents of this Pacific Northwest city hunker down for the gray rain that drills the city"


What a great pitch to sell breaks/holidays!!I really wanna go there now!

First of all, as far as i know these are the facts about "pipeline deals in Afghanistan"....

Even before the war there were some U.S. companies who had deals with the Taliban government in building such pipelines...

The construction of the 850-kilometre pipeline had been previously discussed between Afghanistan's former Taliban regime, US oil company Unocal and Bridas of Argentina.

news.bbc.co.uk...

So in fact a war would stop such negotiations...

Second of all, and this is from April 2006...

Minister for Mines and Industries Mir Mohammad Seddiq Ishan said that no decisions had been made on which companies would implement the project, but that a tender would be held to identify interested parties.

“It may be too big for one company,” he said. “Perhaps several companies will bid on it.”

www.ens-newswire.com...

But it shouldn't be a surprise that some members would make generalized comments which are not close to the truth.

Also there is the fact that several countries found that "the perpetrators of 9/11 were all Islamic extremists" and not one country found any evidence of the "U.S. government being behind it"....

For example authorities in Spain meanwhile investigating the Madrid bombings found that the 9/11 attacks on the U.S. were planned in Spain by Islamic Extremists....

International

Judge links suspect to Spain, 9-11 attacks
Moroccan accused of helping planning

Maria Jesus Prades
Associated Press
April 29, 2004

MADRID, Spain -- A Moroccan fugitive sought in connection with the March 11 train bombings in Madrid was indicted Wednesday on charges of helping to plan the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States -- the first suspect linked to both attacks.

The Guantánamo Bay Naval Base has existed in Cuba for more than a century, and holding terrorist suspects, which happen to be in most cases people who were fighting against the coalition or were helping the terrorists, does not make "America more powerful".....

It would be the same as claiming that European nations jailing terrorist suspects "is making Europeans more powerful".... Such detentions is helping stop other attacks and such, but it is not making "America more powerful."

i might as well claim that "Extraterrestrials have every motive to nuke America and they don't need to tell hundreds of people or anyone in the world"...

Claims are not facts, please stick to the facts.

I am not about to start searching about what MI6 has done or has not done, and I have come to see in these forums that some people tend to overlook facts and only make claims, and sometimes post sources which seems to back their statements but when scrutinized you find the truth is different from those claims made.

The fact that you are now talking about MI6, which is a Brittish agency, tells me you have no facts to back your claims about anyone in the U.S. government planning such an attack....

Is it possible? yes everything is possible, but "being possible" does not make anything a fact....

It is also possible for me to modify my genes and grow wings but "because it is a possibility" it does not make it a fact.

I can't talk about terrorists since their mindset is totally different than mine... They use their own children strapped with bombs to kill people....So i don't know what could be in the mind of terrorists except that "they want to terrorize the world and submit it to their extremist side of Islam." And I know this because terrorists themselves have been saying this is exactly what they want among some other things...

You are making an assumption about an event which hasn't happened yet, hence it is trivial to discuss such an event since "it hasn't happened".

Again, you are talking. in this case writting about events which haven't happened.... Some members in these forums have predicted that the U.S. will nuke or invade Iran for years, and every year it is claimed that year it will happen, the year goes by and then the claim changes for the next year, and the next year, and the next year....

.....heh?..... Deals can be made with nations without resorting to "the U.S. government making a nuke attack on U.S. soil...."

The Issue is who would have the motive to want to nuke a city or several cities in the U.S.

Conspiracies are not only about "the U.S. government being behind everything"....

The fact that the U.S. would try to secure some sort of deal for oil resources does not make this a reason for the U.S. government detonating an atomic bomb in the U.S....

here's another article about the (Portland 10KT Bomb drill)

www.rockcreekfreepress.com...

what's interesting in this report is the reminder that
Charleston SC cancelled their Bomb drill back in 2005
& the 4 star general was (for some reason) replaced forthwith.

the "Portland Residents Nervous About Nuclear Drill"
will be the top article just for today, 22 August 2007, so link away...

thanks

Elaborate analysis - of my last posts and thanks for the effort.

However this is a discussion of opinion and speculation which has nothing at all to do with "fact".

There is one fact - there is no conspiracy. The 911 report etc have all confirmed this therefore a new nuclear conspiracy does not exist. Thats fact. My suggestion is speculation.

The pipeline issue is quite valid as it was not agreed upon, signed, or put into practice until after 911. After 911 american interests were in afghanistan, Hamid Karzai signed the pipeline deal, why ? The taliban were not there any more not to sign it or disagree to it. So coincidence im sure and bears no meaning, again speculation.

To obtain the facts would warrant a full investigation across several countries companies and even into the whitehouse itself.

Or you could just read the newspaper

America being more powerful is a description of one country gaining business trade and resource rights to both Afghanistan and Iraqs resources - which were not in place prior to 911. So again 911 the event and the results after, have surely made america achieve benefits that did not exist in august 2001.

Facts - again would be to analyse account records going back over 10 years, companies, budgets, finances, or we could just read the newspaper.

The point of the MI6 remark is intelligence communities do not label themselves as flag wavers. So if there is any conspiracy its hardly going to be americans doing the dirty work is it? And it is possible to make other people think they are dealing with others and not have the slightest clue who is behind them

So its an allusion to the nature that intelligence could easily recruit a jihadic maniac to do the will of allah not for the benefit of a terrorist group or doctrine, but without knowledge for the will of an alternative goal or action.

Making assumptions is simply considering possibilities. Generally in todays world guesses, possibilities and random assumptions have to made. So the suggestion is just that - what would happen if an Iranian sourced terror attack blew up in the heart of the USA ?

Would Iran gain from such an action ? Or would the USA ultimately gain far more ?

Deals can be made with nations. However at the moment in the current climate I dont see Iran making any deal to reverse its Euro bourse and trade its oil into US dollars.

And finally who says it would be the US government that would detonate a nuke - its not going to be is it ? It would be terrorists.

And then their action would cause the US to react. As a result of that action governments change and new deals are made.

Which comes back to the point of the discussion and speculation as knowledge of the facts is beyond truly any of us. Who would benefit most if, if possibly, if maybe a nuclear boom hits america with an Iranian source....

It certainly would not benefit Iran, Al queda, or islamic fundamentalism in any way.

Maybe it isn't a good idea to return to that safety-bubble way of thinking.


I couldn't agree with you more. In many ways the majority of the citizens of the U.S have lived with a false security. After 9/11 the general public got a wake up call that we are just as vulnerable as the third world nation accross the sea.
It's not like knowledge is a bad thing. Many want to say that news like this just starts paranoia. IMO it has more to do with being informed. Or conditioning, whatever one decides to label it.
