The key to keeping such a plan secret lies in compartmentalization. That is how the United States kept the Manhattan Project secret during the largest global war in history. The grunt enriching uranium in Tennessee had no idea that it would be used to decimate Hiroshima, and still, he was bound to complete confidentiality (as with everyone working on the project) under penalty of losing his job/enormous fines/jail time. Michael Ruppert argues that the 9/11 conspiracy would not require more than two dozen people to know "the whole picture" in order to execute their essential duties. The United States Joint Chief's of Staff didn't consider staging fake terror attacks using remote controlled airliners to be "unthinkable", considering they planned to do just that in 1962 to gain public support for war with Cuba:gwu.edu Then what: that's when Bush first got the 911 idea? FTW editor Mike Ruppert names Richard Cheney as the prime suspect in 9/11, as Cheney fully understood the implications of peak oil and had everything on the table at his secret energy task force meetings in spring 2001 (the minutes of which the courts just ruled to keep secret). A short synopsis of Ruppert's book is available here:fromthewilderness.com I have not seen any evidence that Bush needed to know beforehand. Not only was he on vacation the entire month of August 2001, he wasn't even in control on the morning of 9/11 - Cheney was. I agree with your assessment that Bush does not have a handle on the oil crisis.And Matt Simmons is in on the game? I haven't seen any indication of that.So what explains Clinton's inaction? Or Al Gore's silence? Or Jimmy Carter's silence? The dread of ridicule and need for peer approval. Oh, and their interest in maintaining their elite lifestyle. And the fact that Bill Clinton is corrupt and rotten to the core, Carter is currently the head of a white-wash 'investigation' about the stolen 2004 election, and there are rumors that Gore has 2008 presidential aspirations. How would it benefit these individuals personally to sound the alarm?Everything about this is nuts. Agreed. Let me just say that in a few decades, who did what on 9/11 isn't going to matter, and I don't know if anything positive can arise from knowing the unpleasant truth. Jesse
