My last post has created quite a polemic, with a some irate yanks leaving their comments for the blogosphere. Have I hit a raw nerve?
Clearly, when one actually reads my post carefully, any logical person would understand that I am NOT claiming that the executions are irrefutably fake, or that the USA is most definitely behind the murder of the hostages.
What I AM stating is that OTHER people are claiming such a thing. All I have done here is pose the question and provide links to those people's claims and circumstantial evidence.
I am not doubting for a second that Nick Berg, Eugene Armstrong etc are indeed dead. Their bodies are undeniable proof. Nobody doubts that JFK is dead ... but there are plenty of unanswered questions as to who and why!
I am also not doubting that they died at the hands of heinous barbarians (regardless of their nationality). But the two questions that need to be independently answered are:
- Did they die before becoming a prop in a staged and videoed execution?
- Who was behind the atrocity?
There is no doubt, whatsoever, that innocent people are being kidnapped and murdered by insurgents and militia. There is also no doubt that innocent people are being inhumanly treated and murdered by the USA and allied forces. There is clear cut evidence for both. What is not abundantly clear is how much of the full story we are getting from either side.
Add to this a growing speculation (up to 80% of US citizens) that the USA was somehow complicit in the September 11 attack, and you have fair reason to consider the possibilities of black-ops or psy-ops activity. After all, if it turns out that the US allowed thousands of its own citizens to die for its cause, what is another few bodies in Iraq?
Of course, on the other hand it is also fair to speculate that extremists other than the US government may be deliberately staging these executions for a dual purpose. Firstly to raise the ire of the USA and secondly to fuel speculation of US complicity and conspiracy. Mission accomplished on both counts.
If it turns out that this "conspiracy theory" is pure codswallop, then I'll be most relieved. Until such a time as more evidence is forthcoming I'll continue to "Quote the questions; probe the possibilities; analyse the answers".

ReplyDelete1. Did they die before becoming a prop in a staged and videoed execution?
ReplyDeleteDoes it matter in the least? Does it make any difference if they were shot and then beheaded? Would you feel better if they were dropped out a 20-story building and then beheaded? Why do you care if they were killed and then beheaded?
2. Who was behind the atrocity?
I presume you mean other than the guys standing there, hiding behind their black rags and reading to their false god? Ok, behind them were other terrorists hiding behind their black rags and false god.
Any other questions?
What draws ire, as you put it, is your implications. For example, you state that "a growing speculation (up to 80% of US citizens) that the USA was somehow complicit in the September 11 attack." Complicit means involvement, as in an accomplice to a crime. 80% of US citizens do not think that the US decided to attack and detroy itself. Yes, there are looney-tunes who do, but they are a vast minority.
