Do you think that the U.S. government would send us...?
Do you think that the U.S. government would send us into war under false pretenses? Consider the following... Spanish-American war, 1898: The surprise explosion of the battleship Maine at Havana, Cuba. 255 of the crew died. The Hearst press accused the Spanish, claiming that the explosion was caused by a remote-controlled mine. The USA declared war on Spain, and conquered Philippines, Guam and Cuba. Subsequent investigations revealed that the explosion originated inside the Maine and that it was either an accident, such as a coal explosion, or some type of time bomb inside the battleship. Divers investigating the shipwreck found that the armour plates of the ship were blown bending outwards, not inwards. It wasn't until 1980 that the U.S. admitted that the Spanish had nothing to do with the sinking of the battleship Maine. Operation Northwoods, or Northwoods, was a false-flag operation plan that originated within the United States government in 1962. The plan called for Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or other operatives to commit genuine acts of terrorism in U.S. cities and elsewhere. These acts of terrorism were to be blamed on Cuba in order to create public support for a war against that nation, which had recently become communist under Fidel Castro. One part of the Operation Northwoods plan was to "develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington." Operation Northwoods included proposals for hijackings and bombings followed by the introduction of phony evidence that would implicate the Cuban government. This operation was never carried out. The previously secret document was originally made public on November 18, 1997, by the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board. Vietnam War 1964: The second Tonkin Gulf incident was originally claimed by the U.S. National Security Agency to have occurred on August 4, 1964, as a naval battle, but instead may have involved the "Tonkin Ghosts", and no actual NVN Torpedo Boat attacks. The outcome of this second incident was the passage by Congress of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which granted President Lyndon B. Johnson the authority to assist any Southeast Asian country whose government was considered to be jeopardized by "communist aggression". The resolution served as Johnson's legal justification for deploying U.S. conventional forces and the commencement of open warfare against North Vietnam. It wasn't until 2005 that it was discovered that the second "Gulf of Tonkin" incident never happened. The 1st Gulf War: Some of you might remember the testimony of "Nurse Nayirah" in the media. She was a fifteen-year-old Kuwaiti girl, who alleged that she had witnessed the murder of infant children by Iraqi soldiers in Kuwait, in verbal testimony to the U.S. Congress. Nayirah was later disclosed to be Nayirah al-Sabah, daughter of Saud bin Nasir Al-Sabah, Kuwaiti ambassador to the USA. She was demonstrated to have connections to the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton, which was at that time working for Citizens for a Free Kuwait. The latter activist group was organized by the exiled Kuwaiti government, to gain support for the Kuwaiti cause. All of this info has been declassified and is completely verifiable. Also consider this... The Bush family, the Saudi Royal Family and the Bin Laden family have been business partners since the 1980's. Bush 43's first oil business, Arbusto Energy, was primarily financed by the Bin Laden family. Was 9/11 allowed to happen as a pretext for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq???

i did not even read all that jibberish. according to my magic eight ball , the answer is "without a doubt." 8 ball or not, the answer is yes.
2 :
I dont think president Bush knew about 9-11. Not only because i don't think he knows too much, but I also believe when you get to the mantle of the president of the United States you're put in a place where you can't have bad intentions. There's too much responsibility and having the world looking at you, your intentions can never be more purer. His decisions are absolutely wrong, but in my experience , I stop questioning a president's intention. You can disagree, and boy do I disagree, with his action, but don't question his patriotism.... Cheney on the other hand...

I think yes, but I also am a conspiracy theorist so idk if what I think matters, but here we go. I think we were bombed and we didn't know, but we knew this was going to happen eventually hence the towers were attacked once before in 91' i believe so whatever anyway. You know I think we were waiting for an excuse to seize oil over there, I believe we have many excuses why we are still at war over there. I think we really need to focus on the true intentions of the war. but we are a selfish country!

Great historical precedents there. Yeah I absolutely believe 9/11 was an inside job & (on a side note) I find it VERY interesting how quick liberal scion Noam Chomsky was to dismiss the debate as ludicrous when the story our govt has been pedaling as truth is ludicrous. I think the video Small Change does a very good job of debunking "the story." I too believe in some conspiracy theories because the "truth" given out to us is bull like you know the "lone gunman theory" for instance & because war is the most lucrative business. Btw, if you haven't seen the Aaron Russo interview where his friend at the time Nick Rockerfeller told him 9/11 was an inside job and a whole lot of other interesting stuff, do check it out.

can someone help me:)
can someone help me:)?
I'm in year ten and had to write an essay on where I would most like to live in the world for homework, can you please tell me what you think? Constructive criticism only please, thanks! If I had the choice to live anywhere across the globe, I would always choose the one place I know best... England! A boring, unimaginative, typical answer? Nah, just the one place I feel safest, and the place I think of, as home! One of the reasons I feel so safe here in England is because it very seldom has freak weather, so there is much less risk of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes unlike China, Asia and America. Here, we have the rights of free speech, to say what we think and we are able to voice our opinions; this allows us to be the people we want to be. Journalists have the right of free press, they are able to write what they like, unlike so many other countries, this enables us to report, to update and keep everyone informed with everything that’s going on. We all have human rights that keep us safe and protect us. We have a democracy, where everyone can vote for what who they want to be in power; which means nothing disastrous can occur. Many places in the USA and Spain have curfews, which means the police refrain you from being outside of your property after a certain time, the curfews depends on your age, your gender, or if there is a particularly high crime rate in that area. The UK does not have a curfew, but we do have ASBO’s, this can help innocent people get along with what they need to do, but keep offenders from re-offending. In England, it is against the law to discriminate someone because of their sex, for example, you are forbidden not give a person a job because of their gender, because we understand that no sex is superior to the other, both are equals and should be given an equal chance. Any person who is earning more than five thousand pounds a year has to pay tax. One of the services paid for by tax is the NHS, the NHS give us the financial support, and the access to doctors, nurses and the correct equipment, to receive the medical attention we require. From complicated medical procedures, to simply removing a tooth. Emergency services are also there on demand whenever you are in danger; these are here to help keep you safe. Technology, machinery and equipment are all constantly being updated and improved here in England, for instance; computers, to laptops, iPods, to smart phones, but also with equipment that can save our lives, like health screening, MRI scans, and even x-rays. These help find diseases or illnesses so we can treat them before they get too advanced to get rid of. This is another reason that makes me thankful to live in England, because I know if I have a problem I can be helped, and that we have the technology and also the funding (from the NHS) to save our lives. We are also more advanced than some other countries in the fact that we have quick and easy access to clean water, and everyone, from any background, is being given the chance to go to school, and no matter how much we all complain about it, we all know we want and need an education! As children and adults living in the UK, we are able to grow up with everything we need, a good education, councillors, benefits, the NHS, emergency services, social services, charities – such as ChildLine, or Barnardos, we also have the chance to claim benefits if needed, which helps free us from poverty. All these things can help us to grow up to be whoever we want to be, and to be given the chance and opportunity to do what we want to do.
