87. His point is well made
I've made this point myself repeatedly. People don't realize what
kind of work happened in those towers, and the media disinforms to
prevent people from realizing that the choice of the attack location
was very precisely chosen, both because of the buildings, and what
went on inside them.

Those towers were the heart of the american debt markets, the treasury
bond auctions that finance american wars and imperial actions around
the planet were commanded and controlled from those towers.

As well, there was an advertized conference on at windows of the world
in world trade 1, for a protocol to interconnect all world stock markets
electronically, that capital be free to flow freely across borders that
american finance know no boundaries in its globalization. (called FIX
protocol www.fixprotocol.org). That they attacked the temple of
american finance was certainly a command and control center in a war,
as much as "our" miltiary targeted television studios in belgrade
during the serbian bombing.

The author calls the attackers "combat teams" rather than terrorists,
and i find this appropriately accurate, as that is what they were.
I don't know about passing any judgement on the particular victems,
but it would be fair to say that they were collateral damage on a
legitimate target. With american military attacks, we just call the
collateral damage of 100,000 iraqi civilians a necessary evil.
Perhaps the author should have simply repeated the american way of
saying it.
