Unfortunately, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, all us Americans are attached at the hip to this pedophile.
I mean, maybe.
Though the antiwar murals coming out of Iran focus more on Donald than the US.
We are dangerously close (as a population) to pariah status if not there already.
How Donald exits the White House will be make-or-break.
Aka False flag murder of millions of Americans by the traitors
9/11 truly was an inside job.
Ugh… this shit again
It wasn’t an inside job. It was an inside failure of almost every western intelligence service to act on information they had. It was the result of arrogance and stupidity, not conspiratorial intent.
Jet lag can't melt sleep pills!
...or something
hmmmm, this guy knows how to controversy
Lol, that’s a new one
It was the result of arrogance and stupidity, not conspiratorial intent.
I think the former serves the latter.
Conservatives acted very suspiciously before and after 9/11. "We need a new Pearl Harbor," they said in 2000, and got it the next year. They appointed people to the 9/11 commission who deliberately tried to change the report to be less thorough and less accurate. The commission was denied resources and information, and was given a short deadline.
There is reason to believe Saudi Arabia was involved in planning the attacks, but the US went after Iraq instead, falsely claiming that Saddam Hussein was linked to al-Qaeda and had weapons of mass destruction.
The US used 9/11 as justification for its "war on terror", which included countless human rights violations including indefinite detention without charge and torture. The privacy-violating PATRIOT Act was introduced and extended repeatedly until 2020. War crimes have been covered up.
I think the rich are willing and able to use every means at their disposal to retain their power. I think they influence the global narrative and provoke people to act against their own best interests. It's not as simple as saying "Bush did 9/11," but I think there was and still is conspiratorial intent.
The fact that, after 25 years, no one takes this bullshit seriously should be enough of an indication that you have been, at best, misled.
Or that you have.
If it had been an deliberate decision to let it happen would anything if gone any differently?
Yeah you're right. The US government wouldn't intentionally harm a group of civilians to further an agenda...
And syrup isn’t sticky.
That doesn’t mean the Canadians did it, either.
If you’d like to present some evidence, go on and do that. But it’s been 25 years, and your bullshit story is still just bullshit.
How long was there a secret pedophile island that we didn't know about and how upfront has the government been with truthful info? I'll wait...
Nah it was an inside job
I would assume if Iran did have a nuke, they would put it straight up Trump's ass.
why would Iran do this? their enemy isn't either of those places.
their enemy lives in Washington and Florida.
Once fascism gets this far, a fascist nation is inevitable. Trump is not leaving office. He's going to declare an emergency, "suspend" the Constitution with help from a cowardly Congress, and install Junior as his successor. The courts and the military will not stop this.
This is what America voted for. Now they'll get it.
