I am afraid you are confusing two different events, the bombing of the Federal Building in
Oklahoma City, in which two American Citizens often thought to be part of a Militia, Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh, who made a bomb out of fertilizer were convicted.
The bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 was in a Van parked in the car park below the building, however several of the plotters of that are already in jail serving life sentances for their part in the bombing.
Whom would you consider a reputable source on this btw?

Creating Fear is the same game the NeoCons are playing


Dick Cheney
Donald Rumsfeld
Paul Wolfowitz
Douglas Feith
William Luti
John Bolton
Paula Dobriansky

You should watch " The Power of Nightmares" (BBC documentary)


The Power of Nightmares

What's it like to be so wrong yet utterly stupid? You can't even spell invaded.
Ever hear of Pearl Harbor not to mention 1812 and a host of other British
and French attacks.

A-Ha! You're right. I thought something seemed off.

Chompsky is solid for a few reasons, one - He's a linguist, entereing field to become a philosopher. Two - He uses unequivical logic. His conclusions are based on the most logcal and simple possibilities. He can retain an incredible amount of information and see the bigger picture at all times. When he speaks, it's almopst hard to stay awake cause it's like he's reading an essay.

Jean Raulston Saul - he's pretty good at taking events and drawing logical facts from them - global terms for local events

Naomi Klien (Although she can be a little hollier-than-though at times), Haroon Sidiqui

those are a few. I am particular to print rather than internet, that's my personal Bias. The BBC at times can be pretty good, so can the CBC. Before the bush administration seized power, there were a few good maistream newsmedia as well, but it looks like they've put the crunch down.

how about u?

Pearl Harbour was a US Clolny in the 1940's, newly acquired at that.

war of 1812 was actually americans attacking the British in what is now called Canada. The farthest the British ever reached was New York from the North and I believe they made some naval incursions along the coast. But realize, your country wasn't the US at the time, you were terrorists. I believe Hunter S. Thompson said it best in his "The Hammer Head Shark" article saying The Duke would have kicked Thomas Jefferson's ass for being a rebel. International recognition of US nationhood came after the war of 1812.

French attacks? what the fuck are you talking about? Your constitution and declaration of independance were written France to piss off the British. Maybe it's time you hit the old library and not believe ANYTHING you see in hollywood movies

wow, heres to the server that let's them host this shit

You're about the third person to recommend that movie to me! It's about time I get off these goddamn boards and watch it. I actually caught a flick called (This one will piss people off) "The Myth of the Liberal Media" - it's apparently similar to Power of Nightmares. Thank for the recommendation! I have to check it.

most of the information I have read about the above events I have read several books about: "The War against America", "Seeds of Terror" "Holy War, Inc." and a few others, however I do not adopt any one of the above theories and read the "middle", where events are discussed by all three.
As news sources I do read reuters, BBC and often use news.google.com which gives a multinational view of the same events.

Wilbur, I am too poor to afford a working keyboard. Please do not confuse lack of wealth with ;ack of knowlegde. it makes you look like an Ass. I'm sure you are not.

How can you tell if they are civilians? They might not be in a uniform, but that doesnt mean anything.

Nothing is as it appears. Good Point. Suicide bombers look like normal, slightly overweight people.....

Antwerp - Global Diamond Hotspot located in Belguim, Serria Leone, Where Diamonds come from, located in Africa. If anyone is not familiar with the situation in Sierra Leone find out. How People were murdered, raped and had their hands cut off with machettes so Kid Rock or Puff Daddy could have all them diamonds on their neck or waist?

How about when Bill Clinton, and the United Nations kicked out the "Executives Outcomes" mercenary group who actually handled the situation in Sierre Leone, and killed a lot of the people doing the killing better than the local government, and the United Nations - which actually lead to more bloodshed when they were expelled. 300 mercs controlled the country better than 17,000 U.N peacekeepers at a fraction of the price?!?!

Same in Angola.

ummm hundreds of women in fip-flops ??

And we didnt see ANY weapons not even a baseball bat ??

give me a break !!!!!!!!

Thats exactly it. When you have a resource (or Commidity?) Like Diamonds that carry such value, self interests reign over human rights. It was the same people doing the killings, keeping the cycle of habitual rape among the femaile popluation and young boys forced into the militias, but different people were manipulating them with promises of wealth

:thumbsup

I agree with most of what you wrote, but the first part about bailing the French out in Vietnam is relatively meaningless. The war in Vietnam was meaningless. It was a clash between "Capitalism" and "Communism" on foreign soil. The US and French on one side and Communists on the other. Nobody bailed anybody out. The US was part of that war from it's inception as it was in just about every other 'satellite' war played out between the ideologies, like in Korea or any number of African countries.
