Change.gov Uses Google Moderator System
GMonkeyLouie writes "The website for President-elect Obama's transition team, Change.gov, has unveiled a section called Open for Questions, which lets users submit questions and vote them up or down, in an effort to let the collaborative mind produce the questions that are the most important to the American populace (or at least the web-savvy portion). The page is powered by Google Moderator. It was unveiled yesterday, and CNet reports that when they went to post last night, '159,890 had voted on 1,986 questions from 3,255 people.'"
That's because 9/11 wasn't an inside job, and Obama's staff don't want to lower themselves to wading in the world of truther nutjobs.
Proof! Proof! 1,986 questions from 3,255 people 1 question per person! They're lying! Conspiracy!
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
People always need a conspiracy, it makes life more interesting
You're right, 19 terrorists and a few hiding in a cave conspiring against the US makes life more interesting and fit into a neat package.
Thats how things work. You have a hypothesis, new data comes about, you change your hypothesis.
I agree with that. However, people were called crazy for questioning the first two hypothesis, which are now said to be incorrect. The problem with the new hypothesis is that the simulation they used to "prove" it is not available to the public or any researchers. I'm being called crazy for simply asking for the proof.
I don't claim to know precisely how it fell.
My problem with the "Truth" movement is I fail to see motive
Here is your motive
PNAC, a neo-con think tank founded in 1997 wanted a larger defense budget, war with Iraq and splitting it up into multiple parts. In their paper to which I linked to stated they will not get any of this without a Pearl Harbor type attack. Look at the the people who were apart of PNAC and you'll find many Bush administration members and even a few Obama ones.
nor how a government as incompetent as ours could pull of a huge conspiracy
Is it really incompetence when they've gotten everything they wanted? It isn't really a huge conspiracy. There are such things as compartmentalization. Don't forget about the use of war games and drills on the day. It's meant to confuse people as to whether what is going on is real or simulated. You can listen to the NORAD tapes and they're yelling for people to turn the phantoms (fake radar signatures) off the radar well after Flight 93 hit the ground.
and maintain full secrecy at all levels, with no leaks or whistle blowers.
Its only a secret to those who refuse to look into it. With compartmentalization there is no need to have many people "in" on the whole plot. There have been plenty of people who have spoken out, just go looking for them.
Many FBI agents have come out saying they were stopped from investigation suspected terrorists inside the US. Most of the time, the people who stopped their investigation were promoted.
One you should look at is Barry jennings. However, he died just before the final report of NIST came out. The Loose Change guys and BBC can not find out why, even though they've called his work and home many times. He was a high level employee of the city of New York working in Emergency Management.
Also with an event so heinous, I really doubt that everyone involved would have absolutely no moral qualms with it, it doesn't gibe with human nature.
Not every human has the same set of values. There are more psychopaths out there than you'd think, which contradict the majority's view on human nature. Please do some research on Bohemian Grove and then you may find out what I'm talking about.
It took me a long time to come to terms with the facts. Everytime I'd pick up a history book I'd see countless examples of false-flag terror done by the US and other countries. One good example would be Operation Northwoods and the USS Liberty (see James Bamford's book Body of Secrets). Operation Ajax, the Reichstag fire and the Germans attacking their own radio station at Gleiwicz, Operation Gladio, etc... come to mind.
Ask yourself a question, why does the government always give itself more power and more money every time they "fail?"
