Well your "theory" falls completely apart when one observes all the money-making, popular media individuals and reporters who have been fired over the past 7 years. And the appropriateness of including think tanks is due to the usage of employees as media interview subjects.....
That's the same old tired neocon response (talking point) one constantly hears. Interesting how you offered the National Enquirer as one of your examples.
Suggest you look into the original financing of their parent company, American Media, and also the Washington Monthly (there are probably others in that same category). Hint: C.I.A.
There are a tremendous number of poorly performing "news" outlets today that are underwritten by far rightwing nut outfits and families. None of these so-called news programs (infotainment, really) actually turns a profit. Suggest you bother to also look into the backgrounds and financing of all these so-called "think tanks" (e.g., Cato Institute, funding from Koch Industries, John Birch Society, original funding from the Koch family, etc., etc.)
I strongly disagree with you: NPR has a political interviewie rate of 81% with the same organization's personel: the Council on Foreign Relations (some time they are correctly identified as such - many times they are not - if you don't believe me, just record their names then look up their membership. Admittedly this is lower than that PBS News Hour which runs 87%.)
The NY Times has had a series of reporters - not only over the past 6 years but for the preceding 30 years - who have turned out to be on the government's payroll. They heartily endorsed that (fortunately temporary) coup of a democratically-elected President Hugo Chavez - along with many of the NYT's other crimes - it ain't referred to as the New Whore Times for nothing!
Advise you to take a look at the next day satellite photo of the Pentagon (9/12/01). From the scorch marks on the roof still fresh - it is obviously an exact center, dead-on stroke into the western wall - the wall farthest from then Secretary Rumsfeld - and the only wall to be super-reinforced. Amazingly, the exact strike that would do the least damage - now if I was a suicidal terrorist and crack pilot - which one would have to be to have performed such an aeronautical maneuver - then I would have taken the far easier and far more devastating strike of simply aiming for the roof area and doing the most damage.
But then, I didn't plan it......Bottom line: It took forever to get any investigation (9/11 Commission) going because Bush didn't want it - Bush and Cheney refused to testify at the investigation under oath - Bush's first choice to head up the 9/11 Commission was the American business representative for the BinLaden Group - Henry Kissinger!!!!!
remember that we also have the most well developed (maybe overly developed) news and information system in the world.
Great God Almighty!!!! Are you hopelessly nuts? We have almost little or no actual news reportage in the US today - especially as opposed to when I was a kid back in the '50s. How many Americans are aware of the (at least) 2 attempted assassination/coups of democratically-elected President Hugo Chavez by the Bush Administration (can you spell o-i-l???)? How many Americans are aware of the second attempt - led by undersecretary of state, Otto Reich and his Cuban-American squads? Erroneously reported in American news as Cuban dissidents being sighted in Caracas at that time!!!! Un-frigging-believable!!!
...I'd guess that our (generally) staunch stand in favor of free press...
Great God Almighty!!! Free press??? WTF have you been smoking, dood??? Any intelligent American is forced to read the foreign press and blogosphere for any and all news as the only breaking news in America today concerns either Paris Hilton or the deposition of Anna Nicole Smith's corpse. Nothing, but nothing gets reported in the news.
Forty and fifty years ago that testimony of Monica Goodling before congress (ya know, the one where she testified that the attorney general [Gonzo or AGAG], and the assistant attorney general both committed perjury, that there was massive election fraud ["caging"] and that the US attorneys were replaced to prevent any prosecution of past - and future - election fraud) would have been front-page news for days, if not months. Today, nothing........
Much thanks, Great Citizen spun, for explaining the obvious to those who are perenially clueless (one would supposed they have IQs reflective of retarded snails). Why anyone should still have to explain the stunningly obvious boggles the mind of any of else with IQs above a hamster....
Over $1 trillion in vile profits to the criminals -- and that's just the monies that can be tracked......
Well said, Good Citizen khasim, well said! And these same fools who will take issue with your most excellent post actually believe (a) there's a Global War on Terror, and (b) the Busheviks are "winning" this GWOT, as opposed to say....:
Bush has/will attack the only two countries which HAVEN'T harbored and/or aided and abetted al Qaeda - Iraq and Iran,
royally screwed up in Afghanistan,
continues to royally screw up in Iraq,
failed to find OBL,
still hasn't secured the US borders,
has rendered the once secure borders of Iraq insecure - allowing for terrorists to be trained there,
You are soooo right, KKlaus! Corporations rock, dood!!!
Yeah....who needs those damn employees - use them all for food....yeah, dood!!!! Empty their pension funds - screw 'em on unemployment bennies - claim they quit and were never terminated.....yeah, corporations rock, dood!~!!!! Live and breath Milton Friedman - who always enjoyed academic tenure - BTW - a little often ignored factoid.....
(I can't believe anyone reads Turledove!! You ever read Iain Banks?? Stirling?? Polly Frost??)
That makes sense - except why did the FBI send those hard drives recovered from the financial firms in WTC towers to the German data recovery firm, Convar? Don't we have plenty of great data recovery outfits in the USA? And wasn't that a national security issue? (That would be those financial firms where the questionable stock trades were physically [as in computer systems] logged pertaining to airlines and companies residing in the WTC towers.)
And whatever became of - what employees at Convar claimed was successfully recovered - data?
Yes - and while exhaustive and arbitrary verbiage is your obvious strongpoint - and probably your only one - you still don't offer any substantial argument. I would welcome the chance for you to charge a psycho - armed, ready and firing away - and should it ever come time, dood, may you show considerably more courage (as in any) than those gods you worship, Bush, Cheney, Boehner, Boortz and the rest of the rodger-dodgers......(Same war as Loadmaster Levitow, and I deeply regret the carnage wrought for profit by the US government!)
Far fewer lives would have been lost if they'd done the same thing flight 93 had done - attacked back.
First, Firethorn, I take it you've never been in combat nor experienced any "live fire" situations? Nor do you appear to be experienced with assault rifles and other weaponry. (With the latest Sig automatic rifle I could take out most of a crowded football stadium in under five minutes - a slight exaggeration, but only slight!) Your suggestion as to what occurred at Virginia Tech is both highly insulting, highly ignorant and most obscene. There were unbelievable examples of heroism and valor on behalf of the faculty and students there - something sadly lacking from those politicians in elective office today (e.g., George W. Bush, direct commission to officer and then AWOLEE, Republican Representative John Boehner who has frequently listed his military service as the US Navy - he DID NOT even complete Navy basic training [something about chronic bedwetting], Richard Armitage, former Bush administration assist. secretary of state, claimed to have seen service as a Navy SEAL, when in fact he served but a few weeks during the time he was in Vietnam on riverine patrols [he couldn't cut it] as opposed to the lengthy combat service on those same riverine patrols by Senator John Kerry, and Senator John McCain - with lengthy service as a POW but less than one full day in actual combat).
Secondly, choosing the most clueless sci-fi writers - especially at this rather late date - is highly suspect and of little, if any, value. A clueless bone thrown to the terminally clueless...
Good Citizen crhylove, you will note the post following yours offers a number of web sites, ostensibly "debunking" your logical suppositions. These sites, some of them seemingly practical, some very nonsensical - may even make sense to a handful of noncritical thinking types - but to anyone with experience in military command and control they are most idiotic.
The orders giving Cheney (for the first time in US history) any authority of North American airspace in lieu of generals in the USAF, etc., are incredible and is one hellaciously farfetched event. Next, the very and most relevant fact that SO MANY military exercises occurred concurrently - rendering the Eastern Seaboard defenseless - is virtually incomprensible. And those sites claiming to debunk the always ready squadrons at Andrews AFB - tasked with guarding the D.C. airspace - is pure bullcrap. When one - as you are most surely aware of as an elightened and critically thinking poster, crhylove - ponders the extraordinary number of "coincidences" which occurred that day and those days immediately leading up to it - it is obvious that much collusion - or inside strategic planning - took place. (I posted this to your post as I would add to it and no longer bother to argue with the nominds and lowbrows amongst us.)
Very thoughtful, knowledgeable and inciteful comments, Good Citizen Khammurabi (Sadly, those posts immediately following yours don't fall into the same category).
To most humbly and possibly add to your outstanding comments:
A most prolonged conflict - principally and chiefly for (1) money laundering purposes - as after all that is the primary reason d'etre for the invasion/occupation of Iraq, secondarily controlling oil and oil revenues (2) the complete subversion of the US Government along with the transfer and further super-concentration of wealth (FEMA, after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, alone generated 4,000 single-source, no-bid contracts to private contractors - ensuring mortal delays to the victims of that hurricane, and ensuring any reconstruction would seldom occur, (3) and sadly, Gitmo probably has more foreign reporters jailed there among the many innocents there than we will ever know......
[On the Media: From the Monica Goodling testimony we learned: the AG and Assistat AG perjured themselves, a massive election fraud took place ("caging"); federal prosecuting attorneys were replaced to avoid prosecution for past - and future - election fraud --- 30 years ago this would have been front page news for months on end!!!]
My point being that I don't care if China ever actually attacks the USA - I would never fight them as they have already been declared the stalwart allies of those who rule this country - and to far too great extent our lives - the transnationals.....(They - and primarily they - are the real enemies of America.)
Several people have mistaken me in this thread. I like China.
I think you have misunderstood my post, Good Citizen symbolset as I was not attacking either you or China, but those who keep spewing forth such articles while concurrently supporting the "Flat Earth" mentality (re: multi-billionaire, Thomas Friedman). The only reason I believe the government of China may one day attack the US is, several years ago, their defense ministry or department posted their long-range strategy plans online with said plans suggesting a strke on the USA. As I said, I could care less, given the present subset of Benedict Arnolds in this country who choose to impoverish their fellow Americans by offshoring their jobs (and word-to-the-wise, when a country has to rely upon jobs shipped to them by foreign countries, they aren't architecting their own economic progress!) and bringing in foreign replacement workers, both "legal," quasi-legal and illegal.....
A most cogent and pertinent comment, Good Citizen symbolset.
I, of course, am far beyond even being concerned with such questions as such articles as this smack of rather obvious news manipulation:
after shipping as many jobs and as much technology to China, those running the American corporate-controlled government scare us with China's bellicosity - obviously, they kinda frigging should have kept that in mind (assuming they actually didn't, and that's one mighty humongous assumption) prior to shipping - and continuing to ship - all the technology and jobs there.....
Interesting how the actual literacy of Americans has gone down, while more and more Americans have turned to writing?
This is really all I have to say on the matter:

"That doesn't prove a conspiracy theory or anything, but it was probably a good idea anyway! Smart thinking, and I wish that the US government did the same thing."
Your mention of the above and Red Flag Linux is interesting in that it was one Donald Rumsfeld, who along with members of that Chinese dictator's family, founded Red Flag Software.....
While I also believe China will eventually attack the US - I couldn't give a rat's ass as this corporate-controlled government has been shipping jobs and technology there as quickly as possible......
I won't repeat the obvious, kinglink, that only five major corps own the vast amount of American media - while 6 global corps own the vast amount of global media, instead let's discuss that Pentagon thing:
The next day satellite picture taken of the Pentagon shows, by the display of the scorch marks on the roof, a precisely perfect dead center strike on the west wall. Odd that some pilot would perform an incredible aerodynamic feat with such a cumbersome aircraft, approach scant feet off the ground, flying dead center into the west wall (the only wall to have been seriously reinforced - and the furthest end from the SecDef) when if one wished to do the most damage one would have made the easiest air approach - flying straight down into the center of the Pentagon. Oops!!! Too obvious....
And that naughty Warren Commission - it really wasn't staffed by half the people President Kennedy fired.
And that naughty General Walker - he really wasn't a super rightwing nut and John Bircher that President Kennedy had to fire with extreme prejudice (having another general relieve him of duty at the time).
And that naughty stuff about Oswald ONLY qualifying as marksman (and barely so - I realize civilians aren't aware that "marksman" is the lowest possible rifle qualification - it sucks!).
Dood, you soooo nailed it. And George Bush didn't blow up the Twin Towers - he wasn't flying the aircraft armed with that short-pulse gamma laser and neither did he ever work at Securacom (like his cousin Wirt Walker and his brother Marvin) nor Eureka GGN!
Torvaun, while many black belts don't cheat the way your friend does, let's address the point you made and that is the weakness is the speed of collapse of the two towers and Building 7. It was far too steady state and far too fast for it be anything other than an artificially-induced event. That is the crucial point in all arguments - really, the melting point is really almost arbitrary.
Also, the suggestion that Atta cranked down his window aboard that 757 he was in and tossed out his passport - to be later "found" by the FBI is really a bit too much to stomach. Or was that passport indestructible?????
Good points, Admiral Ag, but while I once thought that, I'm not quite so sure it is still "most people" anymore.
It is true, that few people pick up on the obvious: EVERY SINGLE TIME illegal wiretapping makes the "news" (however how peripheral - such as that latest congressional testimony of former acting A.G. James Comey) THEY roll out the immigration issue!!!
True, the corporate-controller MainStreamMedia will always obey their marching orders, and NEVER ask the next question: when those immigration marches are organized by Spanish-language radio stations --- WHO OWNS those radio stations??? [I am not concerned with the immigration issues and am not trying to go off-topic - just giving an example of obvious media manipulation.]
Many people ARE UNAWARE of how many reporters have been jailed during this Bush administration, as well as being unaware of the numbers of reporters arrested over in Iraq and how many of those Gitmo detainees are in actuality news reporters. There are still Americans unaware that in times past - as now in the present - a significant number of "journalists" were on the government's payroll and reporting doctored news. It takes a good deal of effort to continuously connect the dots: one day an article appears mentioning how the Busheviks have been financing the terrorist attacks within Iran by the terrorist group M.E.K. over the past year; another day an article appears detailing the Busheviks financing of a Pakistani-based terrorist group making raids into Iran; yet another day an article appears describing an unaccounted-for $1 billion a year going to Pakistan from the Busheviks and asking how much of that $1 billion ends up in the hands of al Qaeda???
I've read of $12 billion in hard currency shipped to - and unaccounted for - in Iraq and another $8.5 billion which can't be accounted for. $20.5 billion buys an awful lot of global terror, and this administration certainly appears to be leading the way on that front.....
Google is still the ultimate app in finding that wonderful bird that crapped on George Weasel Bush, great-grandson of the first president of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and grandson of Nazi-sympathisizer and supporter, Prescott Bush.
