Ok, so you have zero confidence in our intelligence services and that is what your opinions are based on. That just sounds crazy to me. Sometimes they are right and sometimes they are wrong, but your suggestion that the intelligence is deliberately falsified to establish some kind of unspecified control over us sounds dangerously paranoid.None of this is about 911. We were talking about nuclear threats, and none of them have been called imminent and no freedoms or rights have been taken away because of them. Soleimani is a separate issue. He posed an imminent threat of terrorist attacks, not a nuclear attack, and his execution was justified and appropriate because he was responsible the escalating attacks against Americans in Iraq recently that led up to the attack on our embassy. Our nuclear non proliferation policies are entirely separate from our policies concerning terrorism.
Can't you see that it is all tied together. You treat these things as if they are some how separate issues, but they are not. They are all tied to the same thing....fear and control.
How do we know that Soleimani posed an imminent threat of terrorist attack? Because our government told us so. The same people that told us we had to invade Iraq due to an imminent threat of WMDs. The same people that told us to keep us safe they needed to create the largest bureaucracy in history, that we had to agree to be groped getting on a plane. The same people that told us they needed to build a massive data storage center in Utah, but do not worry we will not invade your privacy.
Why do you believe what you are told so easily when our government has a long history of lying to us?
Are you sure you're not thinking about the Matrix?
