The control freaks sure had motive. After such a spectacular attack, Americans gave away their freedom on a silver platter.
Did government directly attack us on 9/11. I highly doubt it
Did government ignore or delay actions that would have prevented 9/11? I think it was more incompetence and laziness than trying to purposely cause an attack.
Are government and industry ties to Islamic nations making immigration for potential terrorists easier? Absolutely
Did government use the attacks to their full advantage? Absolutely
9/11 followed a pattern that’s gone on for decades.
Attack or threat of some sort. Ginormous budget increase for agencies designated to detect and stop these attacks. Loss of our civil rights in the name of ‘safety’.
Another attack. Another ginormous budget increase. For our safety, of course.
Further attacks. Further budget increases. Further limitations on our ability to be free and private (except for that ability to kill babies...THAT will remain private forever!)
It doesn’t take an Einstein to figure out that for unscrupulous people at least, attack == greatly increased budget and head count. And infinite power over the little people.
These agencies have no motive to stop these attacks. There is no punishment if the attacks occur. Why should they stop them? Because they’re decent people? Really? How many psychopaths does it take to spoil the agency? We’re finding out.
