MKULTA and COINTELPRO were pretty wild. Operation Northwoods as well. And the FBI basically admitted to assassinating Dr King. By the 1990s they learned to eliminate the paper trails, so probably no telling who actually knew what regarding 9/11 or the 20 trillion dollars that vanished into thin air during Iraq and Afghanistan
I've always maintained that we let 9/11 happen to drum up public support to spin up the war machine and further the conservative plot to take over the country. I don't think we orchestrated it, but I do think we knew and looked the other way.
We did it with Pearl Harbor, so it's 100% within the realm of possibility that we did it with 9/11.
Can you elaborate about the Pearl Harbor?
There were, iirc a number of serious trade restrictions and other measures enacted against Japan at the time that virtually guaranteed their declaring war on us. I don’t think Pearl Harbor itself was anticipated though
It's depressing the degree with which we were taught that Japan basically just bombed the US for no reason other than they were a bloodthirsty race who yearned to go out killing for its own sake. And then we berate them for not teaching history properly.
