Right wing conspiracies, cover-ups, misinformation campaigns??? We’re starting to sound more like Nazi Germany than the cradle of the free world!!! Look, I don’t want to mudsling and attempt to disprove y’all’s theories and idealogies...to each his/her own...but let’s at least be realistic here. 75% of the links referenced in this string alone are of people like ourselves espousing their beliefs and opinions, so why should they be taken any less lightly than what we are told by the media every single day? 9-11, a tragic day in our history and one that will forever be remembered regardless of what color conspiracists paint it, happened. Rich, poor, hard-working, corrupt, black, white, foreign-born...didn’t matter, all types of people died before their time. Black boxes are NOT found in almost 1/4 of all plane incidents, so whomever is stating that they are indestructable does not have their facts straight. Yes, I will admit that it is fishy, to say the least, that a passport was REPORTEDLY found, but let’s not get over-excited here...there is no proof. In the days after the attack, we heard all sorts of "factual" info that proved to have no backbone. Bush-hating has grown into an artform....the leftists and fascists and utopians each have their own agenda, yet they damn the right for having an agenda, as well. This is politics, people. The great travesty of technology is that these agendas are much more open to interpretation by the public. What GWB and his right-wing warhawks have done may or may not be in the best interest of the American people, but I think we can all be assured that this is not some elaborate "Greater Plan" being carried out. The election, whether you lefties can accept it or not, was NOT rigged or manipulated in any different way than it has been over the past 200-plus years. Again, this is politics.
As for this nonsense about earthquakes and weather control, yes, it can happen, but why in the world would we want to destroy the Indian Ocean coastline? Why in the world would we target the ancient city of Bam, Iran? Since 1994, there has been an average of about 160 earthquakes measuring over a 6.0 on the richter-scale....if you do the math, there is almost a 50% chance that two earthquakes will occur on the same date from one year to the next (160 eq/year, 365 days/year, each day has a 1:2 chance of seeing an earthquake). Taken that even further, there are about 8750 hours in a year...if you do the math, you’ll find that, based on the frequency of major earthquakes worldwide, there is a 1:55 chance that there will be an earthquake during any given hour on any given day. Based on the rules of probability, then, there is a 2:3025 (1:1513) chance that there will be a major earthquake on the same hour of the same day in subsequent years. This, people, is not exactly the longest of odds. Additionally, since there were actually an hour apart, we’re looking at approximately a 1:757 chance here. Again, not all that unthinkable, if you ask me.
Sometimes, we are our own worst enemies....conspiracies are great conversation starters, and it is not wrong to ask questions, even difficult ones, in tough times. But let’s not start our own self-fulfilling prophecy here. We are our own worst enemy....we question our leaders in times where leadership is of the utmost importance. We withdraw our support when support would do the greatest good. We subjegate ourselves to the will of extremists and utopians because we don’t feel good about the cold, hard truth, which is we are now required to clean up a mess made by years of neglect and denial (namely by the leftists, but that’s a story for a different day).
