Given this poorly told story without images, let's discuss what we have investigated from other sources. The most plausible theory is that Bin Laden was not the mastermind behind 9/11, but the American government needed a scapegoat; in 2002, the Taliban even offered to hand over Bin Laden if there was any evidence against him, which the White House could never provide. The documentary Zeitgeist suggests that it was the American government itself that brought down the Towers, using a war tactic called "False Flag Attack," where a government fakes an attack on its own territory to blame the enemy and gain permission to invade their territory. Besides, Bin Laden had reportedly died in the early 2000s (probably from an illness), but the government didn't disclose his death at the time to avoid weakening the "war on terror" (meaning: keeping people under control through fear). With Bin Laden dead, it would have been much harder to get Congress to approve successive increases in the war budget, which reached the absurd and astronomical amount of billions of dollars annually to feed the arms industry, along with the construction industry benefiting from the destruction of cities attacked in Afghanistan and Iraq—not to mention the consequent control over oil in the region. Then the crisis hit, Obama came in with the country bankrupt, and the war on terror no longer had the same appeal. Obama's government wasn’t exciting, his numbers were plummeting in the polls... On the eve of the election, they played their trump card: "We killed Bin Laden!" The country celebrated, even Obama’s political opponents congratulated him, he paved the way for the withdrawal of troops (now supported by most voters), and he got re-elected... Makes sense, right? Until proven otherwise, we stick with this theory as the most coherent one.

​

Obviously, I do not condone terrorist attacks or students throwing Molotov cocktails at American consulates, but to be honest, I wouldn’t know what "language" to use when dealing with the world's largest arsenal. The fact is that a belligerent country that tortures and kills, likes to forcefully invade countries where it has economic interests, and today is already talking about arming the Libyan rebels, ends up provoking such actions in the weakest minds... In places where the minds are even weaker, Obama doesn’t even set foot... I think that from throwing eggs to an atomic bomb, any violent act against the US will be interpreted by future historians as a mere consequence of years and years of abuse and brutal violence by this country in the farthest corners of the planet... Bringing people together for the common good is our motto... Theirs has been something else...

​

My thought is straightforward. No one goes around dropping 150 missiles on other people’s homes without suffering serious consequences. I’m not a fan of weapons (they are), but I can understand some of the hatred against the US. I’ll say it again, if when Obama spoke in Rio, some Libyan decided to attempt his life, future historians would interpret that as a mere consequence of American intervention in Libya today.

​

I am optimistic... I think this is the last batch of dictators in our history. The other day I read a very interesting article about the role of the "square" in the urban context. Its unifying power and, therefore, its revolutionary nature. "Behind every revolution, there's always a square..." the article said. Cool! So, if we think of the internet as the square of all squares, uniting people without borders, we have in our hands the square of the über-revolutions. In Egypt, the revolution still cost many lives, but it was made without weapons, on the tripod of Angry People + Internet + Tahrir Square. Wow... If we had had the internet during the Tiananmen Square episode... In Libya, the guy is even more vicious, promising to destroy the world before he falls... tough… Who ever had the courage to sell weapons to a guy like that??? SWEDEN!!! Damn, Sweden... how shameful... isn’t there a more dignified way to make money??? In Iran and North Korea, the regime is probably armed with a nuclear arsenal, so things must be even worse... But I think that after these guys fall, there won’t be room for new dictators. But before that, we need to find a way for the Mainstream Press to stop being so subservient to the American imperialist scheme. It seems like the journalists from major newspapers are “in bed” with them and stay silent; they know everything that’s said here but only show the "official" news, dictated by the American cultural dictators.

​

The only way to fight against this seems to be the Internet. It is through the Internet that this kind of information reaches your home or workplace.

​

If we want a different world, it's our obligation to act towards it.

No pressure = stagnation!
