(26,507 posts)I go back to a meeting that Cheney had with the oil companies where they supposedly divided up Iraq for the oil companies? Didn't someone try to get the minutes of that meeting and Cheney used Executive Privilege to keep them private? What about PNAC and the justification for such a war was a 'new Pearl Harbor'?
We watched this all unfold before our eyes. Some of us here were calling them out as it happened - but the hurt of 9/11 helped as it let many Americans look the other way. It seems all so obvious now - looking back.
Did we ever find out who was shorting the airline stocks on 9/11? How about the Patriot Act - wasn't that all set and written and ready to be enacted if we had some justification to enact it?
Missing money in Iraq. TSA and the hassle we all went through and are still going through at the airports.
I'm thinking this documentary is just one part - a big part - of connecting the dots. There are other documentaries that need to written and aired that expose all these other things as well.
Yellow cake. Valerie Plame. Powell's speech at the UN.
The stolen elections. Why didn't Gore put up a bigger fight to what was rightfully his? Why didn't Kerry challenge? Why did these two guys just roll over? Where they or their families threatened?
If someone wrote a fictional novel based on all this - it all follows in line - perfectly. So perfectly - people wouldn't believe it reading the novel - yet it happened right before our eyes and under our noses.
I sit back now and say - who was behind all this? what was/is their motive? money? oil? power? complete bringdown of the United States? Doesn't it look like someone is methodically trying to take down this country? Who benefitted.
Is it still going on? Hmmmm..... Citizens United? Election rigging? The fiasco of what we call Congress now? Not changing the filibuster rule so that we can make progress in this country. Was Reid threatened?
I wonder!!!!!!!
Are we finally waking up? Are we beginning to connect the dots?
That's what we have to do.
.............................. connect the dots people .......... connect the dots.
