There's a concept of Deep State that Professor Peter Dale Scott contrasts with the normal day to day routine of government that gets coverage in the corporate press.That single factor is one that I cannot dismiss as coincidence. While I do not believe the Bush Administration was "behind" the 9/11 attack, i.e., I don't believe any of them had an active role in its planning or execution, I strongly believe that Bush and Cheney, and probably Rice, had high-level intelligence information that a hijack attack was coming on 9/11 and did what they could to let it happen.[...]On 9/11 NORAD had a scheduled military exercise of the US being attacked by planes.
[...]
I don't believe they had any specific knowledge, such as the actual targets or the projected extent of the damage, and I certainly don't believe the collapse of the Towers was assisted by controlled demolition, but the diversion of Norad has convinced me that Bush, Cheney, and probably others, knew that attack was coming and just stepped aside and let it happen.
There should be no question in anyone's mind that the 9/11 attack was the best thing that ever happened for the Bush Administration and their corporate sponsors.
If you're correct about Condi, George, and Dick knowing in advance 9/11 was on the way, that's an example of Deep State in operation.
Professor Scott explains where Deep State got its name. It happened in Turkey in 1996 when a "random?" car accident claimed 4 lives in the same vehicle.
One of the dead was an MP (Minister of Parliament), another was a police chief. The third was a beauty queen, and the fourth victim was her lover, a top Turkish gangster and hit man who was on Interpol's wanted list and carrying a diplomatic passport signed by the Turkish Interior minister, along with a quantity of narcotics when he died.
Scott's article looks closely at the similarities between JFK's assassination and 9/11. However he also notes one important difference:
"The difference between 1963 and 2001 was in the White House. Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson successfully contained the desires of their hawks to defeat and destroy the Soviet Union.
"But Bush and Cheney have maneuvered America into a war on terrorism.
"That war threatens to become a permanent justification for curtailing the US Constitution's elaborate checks and balances, and its guarantees of America's traditional liberties."
That same war also guarantees billions of dollars in war profits for corporations that sponsor tools like Bush and Obama.
