		<description><![CDATA[Ron &amp; John,

Thanks for your comments and feedback.

I tend to think that with all &quot;deep events&quot; as described by Peter Dale Scott and other commentators, there&#039;s always more than meets the eye. While some in the so-called 9/11 &quot;truth movement&quot; obsess on what they believe to be &quot;forensic evidence&quot; of &quot;controlled demolition&quot; of the Towers, Building 7, etc., what falls by the wayside with these &quot;inside job&quot; explanations are 1) al-Qaeda as ongoing Western intelligence assets and 2) what the intelligence agencies were actually covering-up: the use of these assets for destabilization operations in resource-rich or strategic zones that imperialism seeks to control, the Balkans, Caucasus, Middle East, etc.

While someone obviously made money with the put options on the airlines prior to 9/11, I think that too, only scratches the surface of a larger problem: corporate globalization and the sociopathic nature of a ruling class that quite literally bought the rope with which various strands of neofascist fundamentalism--Christian, Hindu, Jewish or Muslim--seek to hang them with.

Unfortunately, the incoming Obama administration won&#039;t change this.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fantastic work. I have read other suggestions that 9-11 was linked to the narcotics trade (as was Iran-Contra before it). That would help explain why those famous put (American and United Airlines) and call (Raytheon and others) options were never investigated, nor their connection with CIA Executive Director Buzzy Krongard, the involvement of Deutsche Bank, and his former high level association with it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This adds further support to Peter Dale Scott&#039;s profound observation above, or to put it another way, all capitalist societies today are laced at the highest levels with connections to criminal activities in order to further their addiction to wealth accumulation.  This practice and all the others that combine to ravage the earth&#039;s resources and impoverish its human inhabitants will end up destroying both if we, the people, fail to stop them.  If we succeed, it will be in no small part to the wonderful efforts of Tom Burghardt, Peter Dale Scott, and many others like them.]]></description>
