-Caveat Lector-
BF>It is interesting that just this summer we had an attack on the Liberty Bell and
someone
landing on the Statue of Liberty. Do we have "messages from God" that people are
claiming to
hear? Is there mind control, or some phenomenon? It sounds crazy, but then again
there is much
that is going on that may be for a purpose, and a great deal of technology we cannot
understand.
One possibility might be that there is an attempt to manipulate the public
through the
perception of threats to the national fabric. If the public reacts with fear, it is
easier to
control. Internal institutions would conceivably be behind this one. Governments,
corporations,
establishment religious institutions, and the like. That is one possibility.
Another possibility might be that we see a low level attack on the United States
by hostile
foreign powers that are organizing psy-ops against symbols that Americans have clinged
to. I will
not name names, but some might include the "Axis of Evil". This is not inconceivable.
Yet another possibility is a very complex one. I do not believe that WWII ended.
I believe
that Nazis are still around, some having fled to the Middle East and others to South
America.
Some joined with our military and yet others the Soviets. They hate American
symbolism with a
vengeance that goes back to various internal civil wars between secret societies.
They also hate
democracy with an ideological passion that is not understood by reasonable human
beings. They
might be using some kind of patsies to attack America's symbols, perhaps even Bin
Laden himself.
If the planes alone did not collapse those buildings, as some allege, then Bin Laden
had internal
help. To me, this group is one likely scenerio. There are other scenerios that I
believe are
logical and yet are so extreme that I will not even sign off to them
Whatever the truth is, we have an increase in absolute nuttiness that is
impossible to fathom
logically. One wonders what the ideologies of these strange attackers would be? "God
lives".
Certainly. You don't need a sledge-hammer to prove that. Then again, religious
fanatics might
believe they are levelling the altars of Baal. If so, one wonders why these benighted
fools
believe they are doing the right thing? The media will not say, and perhaps at this
time that is
wise.
