Here we go...

I'm going to have to go offline, else I think I'll go crazy. Most certainly, I must curtail my surfing.
Heck, I still have some translation to do today, but I need to rest first.
Cheers...
I do not want ever to make light of a tragedy such as this. People have died. This is horrible. But after 9/11, I cannot help but be suspicious of government involvement. And there is a precedent...No link was given in the post, but a commenter provided a link to the document cited, noting that none of these elements appeared in the document.
In the early 1960s, the Joint Chiefs of Staff planned "Operation Northwoods"...this was a sinister multi-pronged plan designed to gain America's public approval of US forces invading Cuba. The plan was declassified via the Freedom of Informatin Act, and is available at the George Washington University National Security Archives library. THREE ELEMENTS OF THIS PLAN ARE PERHAPS SIGNIFICANT TO CURRENT EVENTS:
1) Military planes disguised as passenger commuter jets were to be "hijacked" and flown into large buildings.
2) Random Americans were to be shot on the street by "snipers."
3) If the space mission of the time (to the moon, I think) failed and crashed - either on the way or the way back - evidence was to be preplanted in order to blame the crash on Cuban militants.
I'm going to have to go offline, else I think I'll go crazy. Most certainly, I must curtail my surfing.
Heck, I still have some translation to do today, but I need to rest first.
Cheers...
