Oh, yours clearly shows it too. I was just adding to the obvious.

What is true is, that the US helped and supported Bin Laden for decades, when he fought against the Russians in Afghanistan until they withdrew.

At that time the CIA had also recruited some additional people from abroad to fight with the Taliban resistance aginst the Russians in Afghanistan, and ran a data base that contained all fighters along with telephone number, addresses and ways to contact them.

At some point this group decided (for whatever reason - maybe they were betrayed, or at least felt like that) to turn against the US - really ? Did they ?

The name of said file was indeed "Al quaeda", and this is nothing new. Come on Dowly, do you want to question that ?

Make of that what you want

I heard the issue in Syria is over a natural gas pipeline.

Quote:
Why has the little nation of Qatar spent 3 billion dollars to support the rebels in Syria? Could it be because Qatar is the largest exporter of liquid natural gas in the world and Assad won’t let them build a natural gas pipeline through Syria? Of course. Qatar wants to install a puppet regime in Syria that will allow them to build a pipeline which will enable them to sell lots and lots of natural gas to Europe. Why is Saudi Arabia spending huge amounts of money to help the rebels and why has Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan been “jetting from covert command centers near the Syrian front lines to the Élysée Palace in Paris and the Kremlin in Moscow, seeking to undermine the Assad regime”? Well, it turns out that Saudi Arabia intends to install their own puppet government in Syria which will allow the Saudis to control the flow of energy through the region. On the other side, Russia very much prefers the Assad regime for a whole bunch of reasons. One of those reasons is that Assad is helping to block the flow of natural gas out of the Persian Gulf into Europe, thus ensuring higher profits for Gazprom. Now the United States is getting directly involved in the conflict. If the U.S. is successful in getting rid of the Assad regime, it will be good for either the Saudis or Qatar (and possibly for both), and it will be really bad for Russia. This is a strategic geopolitical conflict about natural resources, religion and money, and it really has nothing to do with chemical weapons at all.

Ah, but you can't be too careful when it comes to CTs. The name of my
image was 767-300, the one that struck the tower was 767-200. No idea how much
difference there is, if any, but better get it straight.

Ah, what the heck. I might just tell my whole "truther" story while I'm here,
MAYBE it helps someone who is one the fence. So, about when "Loose Change"
came out and I saw it, I thought it was pretty damn convincing, to the point that
I was suckered in to the whole "truther" thing. Then I started to see debunkers
pointing how wrong "LC" was. And I admit, I was pretty angry to see
that someone couldn't see the "obvious truth". Hell, even someone I highly respected
from the GWX team PM'd me to stop the nonsense. I took about 12 months off from the
whole thing (I never was a "hardcore" truther), and then came the anniversary,
which was then somewhat of a "big deal" in finnish media too. We had reruns
of the live shows, documentaries and stuff. So, I decided to start looking at
9/11 again (I love mysteries), and little by little I started to see just how wrong I was.
To see how the "truthers" acted, manipulating photos/videos/audio, taking quotes
out of context and riding on fancy titles.

And that's why I want everyone, who's "on the fence" to look at both sides,
with an open mind, do your own research. Taught me quite a bit.


Lastly, a riddle: What you see on most CT sites but you hardly ever see on debunker sites?

I believe that I have made my view of conspiracy theories, as well as those that hold to them, so painfully clear as to negate any need to repeat myself, so I'll just leave this here instead.

See, I knew you studied it inside and out. And you denied it you, you, you scamp!
