I have looked into it, and found the "government conspiracy" hypothesis unsatisfactory for a variety of reasons.

NO, I'm afraid you're mistaken - the fractional reserve banking is a relatively new concept - it's inception being in the 19th century - again - check your facts!

Yes, relatively new, but still predating the widespread adoption of fiat currency. Anyways, fractional reserve banking is a useful system. Try having investment without it.

Quote:
the 'financial crash' is something which will ALWAYS occur with repetition and regularity in a debt based FIAT system - it has to!

Why? When you write "FIAT" (all caps) are you referring to fiat currency or something else? I don't really see any reason why fiat currency must lead to a collapse- indeed, I think it is probably less likely to result in financial crashes than commodity-based money. I may be wrong, as I have only studied 200-level micro- and macro-economics and not any of the more advanced stuff, but my view on this does not seem to be repudiated by a large number of better-informed thinkers in economics so I think it is a safe stance until I see strong evidence to the contrary. In any case, at this point I'm curious if you even have much idea what you're talking about in relation to "debt-based FIAT" as you like to call it.

Quote:
No links, no debating proofs - I am surely entitled to proffer my informed opinion free from derision - should you wish to raise specific points I will converse with you, no problem

OK, but to do so I would really have to know which alternate view you hold to. I'll assume you believe 9/11 to have been carried out by the US government. My question is: what specific evidence do you have that implicates persons working for the US government in the attacks of 9/11? I don't mean such indirect evidence as "This part of the official story doesn't make sense, therefore Cheney piloted the planes by remote control." I mean actual reason to believe anyone from the US government was directly involved in the planning or execution of the terrorist attacks. Is there anything that would be admissible in a court of law?

Quote:
None of 'us lot' are up for going through it all again bullet point by bullet point for the likes of those that still haven't managed to see through the deceptions.

So you're only willing to preach to the converted? Seems rather pointless, and it wouldn't really get you anywhere.

Quote:
sorry - there's more pressing matters now tbh...

Such as? I'd think that if you were aware of such convincing evidence that something like 9/11 was very different from what it appeared, there would be significant motivation to tell everyone what really happened, and explain to them how you know this to be true.


We have attempted to highlight the many evidences which are in perfect conjunction to intimate to all, except for those who still find it too hard and are incredulous, that there was indeed a conspiracy. If you've looked into it may I ask what you think about the 'b-thing'? and the 'pod' - or what MOST feasibly were examples of squibs. The testimonies of firefighters and general public at the time who were saying they heard multiple explosions - at intervals at the base of the building not long before the first 'collapse'. things like this and so much more.. it's untenable - I find it hard to debate these things any longer tbh - you have you're conclusions so just stand by them - I have mine I'll do the same..
I referred to fiat in caps so as to highlight it - not every is aware of it - my potentially banal effort to draw attention to the acronym. Orwell, your tome is just so muffled in aggression - I've previously debated people who've adopted the same manner time and time again - I'm really not up for it until such a time that there is at least an inkling that your book isn't firmly slammed shut - you know what I mean, what's the point? if you want to joust find someone else - it'd just be an exercise in ego and futility imho and I know that I don't want or need that. *shrugs*
"at this point I'm curious if you even have much idea what you're talking about in relation to "debt-based FIAT" as you like to call it." you're so rude. But that's your look out not mine. the fiat sytem in place doesn't 'function' in conjunction with a fractional reserve debt/lending structuralisation?
Yes, you will know more about the intricacies of economic models seeing as how you have studied economics - in whatever capacity - apparently you perceive that as some manner of leverage for that is where your insults grow fiercest - sorry I won't play that game.
However, if you attest that there are no economists that say the things that I cite then I will have to go off and find the specific blasted papers etc of which I have communicated these basic premises. don't hold your breath though - I'm not in a competition with you and I'll get them when I darn well feel like it.
You assume I believe 911 was orchestrated by the US government - oh, thanks for letting me know - probably best not to assume - you typed a paragraph based on that assertion and it isn't something I assume - sorry man..

I assume (;)) that you know Eric Blair based the character Winston Smith on himself and was so perturbed by the state apparatus he saw in place - being also from an elite family didn't help I guess - so appalled that it was the reason he actually sought escape on Jura - he would go down to the dock once a month when ever the ferry arrived to see if there was a potential assassin onboard he was that convinced he would be killed rather than be allowed to speak out any further as to what he referred to as a 'conspiracy'. Just saying..

In terms of financial systems I imagine we have very different views indeed - I am drawn to both a libertarian perspective but also conversely to the models of Ernest Mandel - from his last years anyhow.

If you wish to continue quoting me and eliciting replies - please adopt a more civil tone - I am not insulting your intelligence whereas you are perpetually talking to me in a rather pompous and ascerbic tone which is uncalled for tbh.

Those who claim that the events of September 11 were the result of a US government conspiracy are either delusional or deceitful. In other words, there was no US government involvement in those events before or while they happened, and the "911 Conspiracy Theorists" have either fooled themselves into believing otherwise, and/or they are trying to incite distrust in the US government and foment insurrection against it with their convoluted lies and deceptions.

9/11 was a excuse for war which made more people, more money.

I'm not saying it was planned, but it was manipulated for the gain of few.


Excuse for a war? I point out that Iraq was not attacked until March of 2003. That is over 1.5 year interval interval. If 9/11 was a fraud perpetrated to justify a war, why the year and a half wait. The logical time to go to war would be while people's tempers were high and raw. And why against Iraq which had nothing to do with 9/11. I would say 9/11 and the Iraq war were rather distantly related.

ruveyn


well, you went into Afghanistan pretty much immediately after to get Bush family friends Bin Ladens' rogue child - the one who was trained by the cia - Osama - the one who was receiving dialysis in Oman in 2004 when the station chief visited him in hospital..and if I'm not mistaken Obama just sent another 4,000 troops there (Afghanistan not Oman - but who knows what's next?! lol j/k). hmm, 8 years in - sure, it'll be over soon :roll:

We didn't even coin that phrase - it was a detracting phrase constructed by one of the media moguls, as it goes - funny how it subtlely demonises the idea of 'conspiracy' in and of itself, don't you think? like JFK and Watergate never happened LOL they were conspiracies after all, weren't they?


Watergate was a conspiracy, and it failed because there was an internal leak. However JFK was not, or at least not to the extent people claim. So often I see people completely ignore who Lee Harvey Oswald actually was (he was actually a retired Sniper with soviet sympathies), or fail to properly analyze the so called "magic bullet" (a proper analysis shows it moved in a perfectly straight path). At most a KGB agent may of encouraged his actions, but even that would of been done without the approval or knowledge of the high ranking soviet officials, since they knew very well that assassinating the American president could trigger a nuclear war.

I think it's very clear that a conspiracy the size of 9/11 would of had multiple internal leaks, it would have to involve hundreds of people from different branches of the government, you can't keep a lid on something like that. Especially since whoever could produce absolute proof of conspiracy from the inside would have their name go down into the history books for all time.


" my administration will not tolerate secret societies [] there is a ruthless and monolithic conspiracy against us " - JFK it's a good speech you should give it a listen.

If your saying that they were used as awkward strategic allies in the past then yes, I'd hope that's common knowledge.

Yeah, so would I but surprisingly quite a few people will berate one as a fantasist for even saying that! I think you might be underplaying the importance of these 'strategic alliances' somewhat - we might benefit from considering policy towards Iran from a decades perspective too, rather than chopping it up into 4 year block seemingly uncoordinated and mutually exclusive in a 'over arching, grand' (:D) political narrative on middle eastern affairs as participated in by the Anglo American establishment. jmo

The proto geo-political theory - in fact the theory for which the very term was 'coined' is The Heartland Theory by MacKinder - if you follow the 'geopolitical moves that have been and are being made over the last few years. eg War in South Ossetia, Afghanistan etc. you will realise (hopefully) that a script is being played out that adheres more or less exactly to the premises cited by MacKinder as to how a powerful state could theoretically secure global territorial dominance - there are many parties involved, from my perspective - I see warring factions and not a unified grand over arching theory - but it is a nonsense to suggest there is no conspiracy! by very definition of the word there clearly IS !


Well, that depends if you believe that Russia is in on it as well as the U.S.. Russia of course wants to put a pipeline through to Iran and wants to have resource control of the middle east via natural gas. The dissapearance of the Soviet Uniion over the course of the last 15 years has shown both what issues it concealed (ie. the baltic) as well as many of its bordering middle-east country's issues (Afghanistan, Pakistan) and of course Russia being a land-locked country would like to have more access to the seas. We had concerns that Russia would want to retake its satellite states, in some places it did, thankfully our recent nightmare with the economic crash and housing bubble had the indirect effect of cutting their oil revenues and thankfully that helped to calm things a little for the time being.

The world is and always has been filled with these kinds of power plays though, it doesn't need orchestration from on high, if one wanted to give a cavelier example of it it's like about 5 or 6 people sitting around playing R.I.S.K. - yes, real damage, real pain, death, and destruction of the personal level but not an issue of concert.

Funny you should mention RISK - if played correctly it exemplifies the heartland theory to a tee. The fall of the USSR is indeed an interesting subject.. in terms of the aspects you raise, I'd say paying a close scrutiny to the actual events preceding and during the war between Georgia and south Ossetia is often overlooked.

*Really* creepy. Our current liberalism seems like its going in a brown-shirt direction, it has been for quite some time and I'm sure Jonah Goldberg has to be feeling rather well vindicated - probably much to his chagrin though. At least I'd hope that the more the new liberalism gets shoved down people's throats the more people will identify that with 'sheeple' rather than conservatism, the self-appointed 'intellectuals' I'm afraid have been on the wrong side of the fight for quite a while.


I agree with you absolutely. It's an extremely creepy affair - combine that with the whole seasmurf thing and my gosh...

yes, I think you are right about the brown shirts - I think more of it in terms of the stasi to be honest - after all, the now deceased former head of the stasi was hired in the capacity of 'consultant' to the secret service in the States only a few years ago - he was on the payroll for a significant amount of time too - one can only imagine what methodologies and knowledge he was requested to impart..

Even if they video was faked, they still would have to account for the tens of thousands of people who saw it first hand. That's not something you can feasibly cover up.

I personally put the "no planes" conspiracy theorists, in the same boat as the "Jews did it" conspiracy theorist. Even a cursory glance over the evidence as a whole shows that the very idea of it is absurd, although to the "no planes" credit, they at least attempt an analysis (although a heavily biased one) of the evidence, instead of blindly repeating blatant falsehoods.


I think an investigation into the events surrounding 9/11 was certainly warranted. However at this point almost any evidence presented that points to Islamic extremists as the sole source of the attack is immediately dismissed as faked by the conspiracy theorists. 9/11 was simply too big of an event to cover up without the entire conspiracy collapsing within a few months.


A lot of those tens of thousands of people claimed to see a JASSM Missile.
Do you know what a JASSM Missile looks like?

ok I accept you may just be a bit spiky sometimes - fair enough but don't ad hom me, please. I had just assumed fiat was an acronym - rather tactless of me, admittedly. I'm not really au fait which much latin tbh although I do know ad' hom' in vino veritas and a some others :roll:
hmm, the thing about economic structure - there was a question mark..

An ex-aeronautics engineer on the 'conspiracy' site - a great guy, very sharp, 65 - he responds often to posts in the same form as you choose - it's rather 'unfair' - although that's not the right expression... I can't very well reply in kind with a lot of quote boxes can I? especially since most of your one liners are running out of my dissected previous post - it just becomes untenable...so I reply in a paragraph form which you then once again dissect and on the format rolls ad infinitum ( another latin phrase I guess I know :roll:)

I'm afraid I'll have to really just be extermely minimal in any replies if you want to play that game - no offence.

I am not pigeon holing you, Orwell!! ! Geez I thought it was an interesting little aside - that was all -very sorry for attempting civil banter lol
And actually as it goes - I did complete some tests as to autism and asperger's some time before - one was a kind of circular chart - I don't know if you can place the one I mean - at the time I was positioned definitely within the spectrum ( I don't even know how to phrase it tbh) - I am more or less completely new to what is the acceptable turn of phrase etc.. anyhow I really didn't pay much mind to this as it was just a test I did myself - I have always felt somewhat apart in different ways but I attributed that due various experiences and a strange childhood.

Out of curiosity I just made the wired AS (apparently) test after reading about it in a thread and it pricking my curiosity - I answered as honestly as I could - why not after all! - and the result I have been calculated as having is 33 - that's quite high no? it said on the webpage 32 was the border perhaps? Anyhow I am a bit surprised I wasn't expecting what seems like a relatively high number - perhaps you could help me out a bit and give me a better perspective of what it might mean, if you can... kinda of strange experience actually - I only arrived here yesterday and for a completely other reason than posting in a thread like this or taking a test. :roll:

Not really a libertarian trot no - I have issues with Trotsky - I liked the fact that Mandel, though an internationalist - made it clear towards the end of his life that he thought it was wrong to declare that other models and systems shouldn't exist - that it was essentially bad for international socialism(of which I am not) to preclude difference and that cohesion was possible - other than with fascism obviously - he was decried for it - nevertheless he is still very widely regarded :) Apparently he was very optimistic of our species' potential - some said this was a flaw as well as a virtue - I think in times such as these it is a very generous and importance belief to hold and so I respect him for it. I am still reading theory by him - I don't presume to be an expert on his 'current'.

An issue with libertarianism and free markets for me would be the hush hush issue of corporate personhood or whatever other expressions are employed to pronounce it.. it seems against the interests of the population ultimately.

If you think a solid argument might persuade you maybe it is worth the effort, although I am not 'preaching' to the converted or otherwise - not a preacher

libertarianism - I like the anarcho capitalist model of the prefederalised American states - it worked and yes the Austrian school - the mainstream theoreticians don't really seem to be making much of good job of things right now tbh..

printing and throwing money after monies into institutions propped up on toxic assets in the magnitude of trillions still seems to me not only to be folly but absolute insanity - not to mention duplicity - who will it be that suffer when it goes belly up? not the banking cartels, that's for sure. I am against that sort of thing.

Perhaps we will broach the subject of possible organisations of conspirators involved in 911 after all.let's see - however it is very late here now and I am equally tired as it is late. If you can provide any insights tyo that test result I would appreciate it - I find it a bit shocking to be honest - sorry if that sounds odd - I just didn't expect it - I'd do the test again tomorrow but I imagine I would just get more or less the same result as I tried to complete it as honestly as possible. What are autistic people like anyhow - you have mentioned a few couple of times about how this web forum is 'different' than how things usually - I could say exactly the same about the 'conspiracy' forum tbh.

anyway, good night. cheers

Actually, 9/11 was neither terrorists nor the government. In fact, it may have been perpetrated by a group of radicalized architecture enthusiasts who wanted to rid lower Manhattan of the World Trade Center on aesthetic grounds.

Yes, I'm joking

I watched the first two, but I have trouble watching programs for very long unless it is something I am very interested...and most times not even then. I may watch more later.

A true skeptic is skeptical of others that claim to be skeptics.

An objective review of the various sources of information available cannot possibly conclude that two planes did not hit the towers that day. Further, it cannot conclude that the buildings fell in a controlled demolition. The videos that purport such are riddled with inaccuracies, blatant manipulation and reek of propaganda-laced fear-mongering.

There are questions to be asked, but they do not involve a conspiracy, they involve ineptitude and a President unwilling to adhere to the advice of his intelligence assets.

Further, the OP does himself no favors by adopting a tone of opposition right off the bat. You come from a place that would ban us flamers? What you mean to say is, "I belong to a dogmatic conspiracy organization that does not accept any dissenting voices within it's rank." Pathetic.

Flaming is a hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users. Flaming usually occurs in the social context of a discussion board, Internet Relay Chat (IRC) or even through e-mail. An Internet user typically generates a flame response to other posts or users posting on a site, and such a response is usually not constructive, does not clarify a discussion, and does not persuade others. Sometimes, flamers attempt to assert their authority, or establish a position of superiority over other users. Other times, a flamer is simply an individual who believes he or she carries the only valid opinion. This leads him or her to personally attack those who disagree. In some cases, flamers wish to upset and offend other members of the forum, in which case they can be called "trolls". Most often however, flames are angry or insulting messages transmitted by people who have strong feelings about a subject.
