^fair enough. i just noticed that many other people that talk about the NWO and such basically just post the articles instead of giving a response.

it's definitly tricky that these bombings happened just as the patriot act is coming under review or needs to be renewed or whatever. who knows if it was just coincidence or if it was planned by the government or if it was planned by the terrorists whose goal was to get the act renewed...because obviously the patriot act isn't doing anything but annoying regular americans and taking away many of their freedoms. perhaps that was the terrorists plan with those bombings?

whatever the explanation, i hope it stops.

they both make sense! the terrorists aren't bombing to free their own people or their countries or anything like that...they're bombing to scare and ruin other nations that they are angry with. they're expecting massive military reaction and maybe even welcome it! all they're doing is trying to ruin the society where they bomb...that's why they're terrorists.

do you really think the terrorists are fighting and bombing because they are concerned over the war in iraq? they're doing these acts out of anger.

watch this kiddies!!!!!

lots of speculation and no evidence shot down by logic once again.

Some early reports from the scene of the incidents are very interesting.

Reports are that Arabs were seen running from the sites of the explosion. London's population is 20% Arab. If a bomb exploded near you, would you run? One of the Arabs is reported as saying "what is wrong with these people?" which suggests he was just scared but was immediately identified as a scapegoat.
so what? you're surprised that suspicion falls on the arab population for these copycat bombing when the original bombers were arab? you think that THAT'S media propaganda?

as for the chances of four esplosive devices not going off, i'm willing to bet it's pretty good if they were all built by the same guy or guys, using the same plans. maybe someone sold them bunk c4, maybe they didn't wire them up properly, or maybe they were using underpowered detonators, the point is that if they were all made to the same specs then you would expect them all not to work...explosive devices are actually pretty tricky things to build properly.

he could have just as easily been dismayed because:

b)the detonator went off prematurely

how much of blair's time do you think he spends in high level high security meetings these days? i'm willing to bet a lot. is it really that supsicious that he should be in one when this occured?

once again, lots of supposition, no facts....

oh wait, i get it!!!

it can't POSSIBLY be islamic terrorists, it has to be the GOVERNMENT, because islamic terrorists would KNOW that this would only make things worse for them and invite a "massive military response" (more massive than the one that has western forces strectched as thin as they can go now i suppose), and would also bring about the appropriation of their resources (more than what's happening in afghanistan nad iraq right now i suppose).

I guess we should all remember that terrorists ALWAYS think in terms of the big picture, and their big picture doesn't involve a global islamic victory (oh wait, isn't that what the radical clerics promise them). and isn't the biggest component of being a religious fanatic the belief that because you have god on your side you CAN NOT LOSE?


hmmmmmm.

i really don't think the terrorists have their own peoples best interests at heart in these bombings. it seems like they are just trying to scare/hurt/ruin people in other countries for revenge for things done to them.

edit: for wummy.

Franco buddy, I think you should just give up. Most people here are convinced that these demonically possessed terrorists WANT TO BE DEFEATED, and that securing oil resources or adventures of imperialism are not factors at all.

Even though it goes diametrically opposed to the operational definition of terrorism, i.e. using violence or the threat of violence to achieve political goals, we have to assume that this new breed of terrorists simply want to inflict harm, and then be harmed, because they hate FREEDOM.




A "protection racket" is a scam where an aggressor instigates an attack, blames a bogeyman, and then offers to protect the victim from this bogeyman in return for money and power.

automatic, i think we should just give it up because these people will never stray from their smallminded government hating ways. whenever something bad happens in the world they will automatically assume that it is the governments doing. they'll never stop reading internet websites where 30 year old guys who still live in their parents basement saved up enough in their penny jar to open a website and start writing their own conspiracy theories. they will always think we are blind to the truth when really they aren't open to any form of real truth themselves either.

no, we just think you have cause and effect muddled up......

we think that the reason you are geting islamic terrorists now is because there's enough anger in the islamic world over western imperialism in iraq, israel, chechnya etc... that it manifests itself in islamic extremists committing acts of terror.

you guys think that in order for the West to justify it's imperialism it's committing acts of terror and then blaming it on ismaic terrorists. and that whenever they catch an islamic terrorist suspect he's a cia dupe of some sort....and that the radical clerics who are calling for jihad are somehow a front...

hmmmm.

as for this bit:
"even though it goes diametrically opposed to the operational definition of terrorism, i.e. using violence or the threat of violence to achieve political goals"

these guys believe that there's going to be a world wide jihad, where the muslim nations will rise as one and cast the west down in to the pit of hell and the world will become a global islamic paradise, right? so couldn't inciting a military response and sparking a war BE their poitical goal?

yep.

i'm done with this, it's a tragedy that events like this occur, my heart goes out to the people of britain, white, brown red, black and yellow.

i'll leave it up to whoever reads this thread to decide whether they think it's a massive governement conspiracy, or the work of radicalized, disaffected, brainwashed youth.

either way it's a tragedy.

Why did you only comment on that, why didn't you comment about the drills taking place on the same day and same time as 7/7, and the "coindence" that they also had drills on 911 on the same day and same time. Or why don't people comment on how it is admited that netanyahu was warned prior to the bombings 2 weeks ago and that is why he didn't show up to do his speech at the economic summit.

^and why didn't you comment on anything that automatic said when he picked apart the article that you posted? why is it that you guys always think that everything is a conspiracy even if some of them are far stretched and based on sketchy ideas and theories instead of facts. why do you always assume that people are brainwashed and mindless if they don't agree with how you're thinking?

These terrorists are getting away with killing far too many people. I think that the United States and other UN countries should create a band of soldiers whose sole purpose is to hunting down these terrible criminals.

If any of you see any suspicious packages lying around, don't be shy to tell somebody that's an authority figure.

I didn't comment on the article i posted because that article is just stating how its so convient that this scare today came on the same day the patriot act is supposed to be renewed, and its just saying how innocent arabs are being arrested for just fleaing like eveyone else cause they are scared of the same things the everyone else is. The hard evidence is the warnings and the drills,......Try shooting those down

^so you agree that most of the article that you posted was just speculation and theory with nothing based in fact that was easily shot down with the quickest use of logic? i guess you do since you never bothered to defend any of it after automatic blasted pretty much all of it out of the water.

i don't have all the information and neither do you, that's why i'm open to different points of view and discussions on this topic. but you're not discussing anything, you've already made up your mind about what actually happened even though you don't have any more evidence than the average person available to him. i'm not trying to shoot down your theories about the warnings and the drills...i find it interesting, but i'm just as skeptical of your conspiracy theories as you are of our theories of what happened.

or have people become so mindless that they are quick to liken human tragedy with government conspiracy and believe just about anything someone posts on the internet and can draw some kind of vague coincidence to said events and other things happening in the world? You're digging far too deep, and too far fetched when the answers are simple and right in front of you.

This is your so-called "War on Terrorism"

Quote:
Al-Gerbouzi, who has granted asylum in Britain, was sentenced to 20 years in absentia by a court in Morocco for his alleged involvement in bombings in Casablanca which killed 44 people in 2003. ... Mr Qatada was described by a British judge as a "truly dangerous" individual and by a Spanish judge as "Osama bin Laden's ambassador in Europe".

[...]

Some of the most aggressive groups had headquarters in Britain and the British government went through a period of refusing demands from Arab governments and the French to extradite them creating, said the aggrieved governments, "Londonistan" where terrorists operated with impunity.
http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/cri...icle297907.ece


So on one hand Blair wants an internal passport, privvy access into people's email and text messages, their own version of the Patriot Act, renewed support on the 'War on Terrorism' and he also wants to grant asylum to known terrorists.



This is what's called speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

But it's simple really. Without terrorists, there will be no war on terrorism. Without a spectre of an undefeatable enemy, where will you get your mechanism of control?

Their safer bet would be demographic invasion, which is already making France and Holland a muslim state in a generation or two. Why risk it with Jihad?

Or why don't you look it up yourself rather shoot me down for no reason. You have Peter Powers admiting the drills took place that day. You have ABC reporting drills on sept 11. You got the Associated Press and many other mainstream media reporting the warnings. Why do people think that this info from infowars comes out of nowhere, he always links it to mainstream media or videosclips. You basically proofed what i said, mindless people. You don't even care to look it up
