Prior to 911 something took place which caused islamists to understand that the United States and Western Culture could not be defeated with infiltration alone. The infiltration had been occurring for decades into western nations and the reports back to islamists leaders and these leaders (imho) were national leaders on the world stage determined infiltration would not be enough to fulfill their aims and agenda. Think saudis. The decision at that point, in the information flow, caused the plan to be modified and it was determined by those pushing forward an islamist agenda that attacks, on western culture, to advance the goals and agenda had become a necessary component of generating deaths in spectacular means. The infiltration was in place, the infiltration would continue. The new added component was the introduction of attacks. Money was flowing freely to the terrorists supporters and continues to flow steadily to terrorist supporter nations. A compliant western media was in place and some of it was and is owned by islamists, thus it was determined the response by western nations would cause minimal damage. The people buying the product of the islamists (oil) would continue to support their own demise (think western culture) by not using their own resources because of environmental controlists, and compliant governments which were under islamists' infiltration would return to sleeping by being propagandized via media and compliant leaders. I realize most of what I have typed is considered opinion, and will not deny it is my opinion. Many people now hold the same view. I am one of those, to tell you the truth was late to arrive, and understand how far down the path we have traveled. All, who frequent this site, know these opinions, so I have added nothing new. Seen anyone standing up in Congress to tell the truth? Yes, we did. It is a Good Day, All. May it continue?
