Other examples of the "two Americas": 1963 - JFK is assassinated by wealthy elites such as the defense establishment because he appears to be ready to pull us out of Viet Nam, which would dry up very lucrative military contracts and hurt the prestige of the military. 1968 - Richard Nixon and his wealthy cohorts interfere with the Viet Nam Peace negotiations and cause the war to go on for another six years, causing 10,000s of more American lives. 1980 - The Reagan campaign conspires with the Iranian government to keep American hostages in capitivity until after the 1980 elections, so as to keep a potential political advantage of pre-election hostage release from the Carter campaign. 1981-1986 - Iran/Contra - Breaking all sorts of U.S. laws and codes of ethical conduct, the Reagan admin trades with Iran to fund the Contras. 1986-1990 - CIA and other government officials look the other way as planes full of guns are sent to allies in Central America and planes full of cocaine return to the United States. Much of this cocaine went directly to Los Angles and help fuel the crack epidemic which swept across America in the late 1980s. 1990s saw a waning of these covert efforts, mainly because the Dems were in power in the executive branch and the cold war had ended. But, there still were some scandals that made the wealthy very wealthy like BCCI. Then, we had the 2000 election debacle in which the very basis of American democracy seemed to be threatened by antiquated voting methods and underhanded means to suppress the minority vote (like scrubbing the Florida voting roles of out of state felons and of in state mistemeanor violators and others who had no convictions at all). This all leads us to 9/11/01. Was there a conspiracy by some very wealthy and powerful people to let 9/11 happen? I don't know for sure, but if the past behavior is any indication, this would not be beneath them. They don't care about the other America.
