It's always absolutely astonishing to me when the average American's
first reaction to the idea of 9/11 as an inside job is to gasp
"No way the USA gov would murder 3,000 of their own people!"
Huh? First of all, where does anybody get off asserting that we are
the mil.gov's people? As though they own us? Second, of course nobody
is charging that the entire USA mil.gov signed some executive order
or legislative proclamation to murder those 3,000. Obviously it was
a relatively small and secretive group. The average GS-10 mathematician
working for the Bureau of Labor Statistics is innocent and pure
as driven snow, ok? And then finally, there's some kind of shocked
ascriptive morality behind that reaction, like sure they'd invade
and destroy South Vietnam and Iraq, train and equip SAVAK and
Pinochet and Guatamalen Death Squads - they'd decimate all kinds
of places stocked with non-Caucasian cattle, but surely would hesitate
to snuff a few thousand New Yorkers. Those people need to review
the classic scene from The Godfather: "Kate, now who's being naive?"
(Michael Corleone)
Anyway, you can infer from the paragraph above that yes, Shell Game
takes on USA mil.gov false flag terror. But it goes at the project
very half-heartedly. Alten's view on 9-11 is pretty tepid - he seems
to think that yeah, the 19 Al Qaeda guys did it, but there were warnings
that may have been deliberately suppressed or ignored. So one thing
I disliked about Shell Game, is that Alten gives very short shrift
to the deeper analyses of 9-11 as an inside job. He pretty much just
tsks-tsks over missed warnings or faulty intelligence, lack of due
diligence, and leaves it at that. Hello champ, it's a whole lot worse
than that. Read David Ray Griffin. Listen to Richard Gage.
(Neither is listed in his Suggested Reading).
But 9-11 is ancient history right? So over! So 2001! We Americans
have always been a forward-looking people, and what we have to look
forward to is escalation from boxcutters on planes to nukes in an
American city. Alten is not some wild-eyed radical with that prediction
- Dick Cheney and others have stated exactly the same many times.
And look at the perfect linearly ascending line of escalation of
False Flag Firepower and scale of target:
JFK ==>
OKC Federal building ==>
World Trade Center complex ==>
American city nuke.
It makes perfect sense, and probably it will happen.
...
Long story short, Los Angeles gets completely obliterated by a suitcase nuke
planted by rogue/NeoCon FBI people, coordinated through the Department
of Homeland Security and approved by the President. But then one heroic
guy exposes the backstory of the crime and due to the resulting firestorm
of media investigation and public outcry, the most extreme NeoCon's
are chased out of office, and the nation limps onward with a renewed
dedication to weaning ourselves off foreign oil.
The idea that some kind of "media exposure" could effectively address
a false flag op is ridiculous. In fact, the media is part of the op
in the first place. Not that the media is consciously in on the game
of course (they are far too stupid to be trusted with any explicit
operational role or insider knowledge - honestly they are truly
stupid people) but they tacitly understand their place as mil.gov
cheerleaders (taking care to nip at The Hand now and then - mustn't
be too obvious) and happy to roll over at the merest nod, wink,
or nudge from their more clued-in mil.gov handlers. So the end
of the book is a ridiculous fairy tale.
But it's clear that:
(a) the Neo-Con's got almost everything desired from 9-11;
(b) that still isn't good enough.
They need more lockdown, the military draft, draconian internet controls,
national DNA database; all kinds of cool agendas remain unfulfilled.
Now I'm not saying they absolutely must fry one or more USA cities
to get the above basket of goodies. Incremental post-9/11-ism will
do the job, in due course of time. But isn't it really more fun for
them to nudge it along with a Big Fiery Bang? Fortune favors the bold!
So I think both Dick Cheney and Alten are correct, an American city
probably will be nuked.
In the book, the actual nukes (yeah, real mushroom stuff,
not dirty bombs) are clandestinely engineered by a lone rogue
Chinese scientist living in the USA. Another unrealistic touch, to me.
Probably the bombs will actually come from a USA military unit that
agrees with the NeoCon agenda.
