Israel and its history of false flag attacks

[Moriarty]

Not this shit again.

Yes, propaganda has an effect, but people have to be predisposed to accept it in the first place. So no, you can't blame the big bad gubmint when it comes to public opinion. When the public's opinion is shit, that's because the public is shit.

No, you're right. The "people" should have rejected the idea years ago that governments ruled by divinity, and that at death their lives weren't going to get any better just because they died and went to fairyland.  Still doesn't change the fact that in Western countries today that don't even push that agenda anymore, still take advantage of it. Sad really.

Why would the Saudi's need to fund it when Al Qaeda was run by a rich Saudi...?

1. Bin Laden was not Afghani

2. al Qaeda is/was not Afghani

3. The guys who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks were not Afghani (Mohammed Atta was Egyptian)

4. The Taliban actually hated al Qaeda for bringing foreign attention (and ultimately intervention) into Afghanistan.

5. Counter terrorism and intelligence forces throughout the globe were well aware of the position of AQ in Taliban held regions in Afghanistan as a result of 4. Also really helped when AQ claimed responsibility for the 9/11 attacks.

Oh...it's this thread again...Fuck.
