KyrosL.

Thanks.

((no conspiracies in America remain buried for long, not even small ones))

If that is your premise, then I understand why you would not believe the US government was complicit in 9-11, because, well really, that would be the "mother" of all conspiracies.

I would take the other side of that argument, however - that there are mechanisms in place to promote an "official narrative" if it is decided upon as a matter of national security. Obviously, these mechanisms must of necessity be highly invisible and covert - it would be "like" a very small inner circle with the CFR (although I highly doubt it would be tied to a single "overt" planning entity).

You know, I read a really great book a few years ago called "Into the Buzzsaw: Leading Journalists Expose the Myth of a Free Press".

amazon.com

The book interviews 18 previously-mainstream journalists, that basically stumbled across a "black op", tried to report the truth that their journalistic investigation led them to uncover, and were blocked in their efforts by the media institutions themselves, and various government agencies. It's a wonderful expose for illustrating the mechanisms in place for controlling "black propaganda". Of course, it tells the story of Gary Webb, who later committed suicide, whose story is perhaps the most extraordinary of the bunch.

And it doesn't tell the story of Catherine Austin Fitts or John Perkins, each of who also have a fascinating and well-documented story to tell.

Now, if one a-priori rules out the possibility of institutionalized conspiracies (which really are basically to my mind significant black op operations with a serious effort to coordinate the black propaganda, then all the above will be meaningless - as the facts are irrelevant, because the conclusion has already been derived.

But, just to present the other side of the argument.

Best wishes,
Glenn
