i'm not like purposely trying to bring intuition/dreams/etc to all these serious political threads, but there was one time when someone on the radio was talking about hunter s. thompson. i've read bits of his memoir/autobiography/whatever you want to call it "kingdom of fear" but nothing else. aj lent me fear and loathing in las vegas but i haven't even looked at it yet. so i'm just trying to establish that i have almost no background about this guy except the little bits i read in kingdom of fear, which were mostly EXCELLENT might i say. there's this great part about dealing with the fbi when he's like nine. it was great. that man does not hold back, and i love that.

anyway, so this one time after his death, and now i can't remember how soon after, someone mentioned it on the radio, and i suddenly had this flash like what if he didn't kill himself and was murdered and like someone forced him to shoot himself or something. it's hard to recapture now, but that flash thought was so vivid that i remember it all this time later. it was one of those instantaneous things, but i felt really sik inside, and really scared like what does this mean on a bigger scale? i really couldn't shake that awful feeling for like that whole weekend.

now that i'm saying this i really want to go back and read the rest of kingdom of fear. i think the fact that it wasn't totally linear sorta like threw me, like there wasn't an ongoing gripping story to follow, just isolated anecdotes, so there were lots of places i could jsut put the book down.

but you know, i don't know, that feeling or otherwise, if i buy this. i mean HOW MANY people are saying the same thing about the WTC? tons. there are documentaries about it, articles in magazines, 9/11 families who are pushing for investigation b/c they think the story was bogus, the whole 9/11 truth group, hell even eliot spitzer from nyc (think he's the state attn. gen. or something of that nature) was pushing for some investigation at some point, b/'c of those same families of victims. if the government went around offing anyone who was trying to investigate/prove this, there'd be a LOT more supposed suicides.

so my question is, following that theory, why hunter? what would be the logic in killing him as opposed to someone else?

unless his evidence was like "blow you out of the water" good.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I find it impossible to accept that the engineers who designed the WTC did not account for airplane strikes at high altitudes...considering that for a very long time, these were the two tallest structures in the world.

I also do not buy the line about the jet fuel melting the steel. Anyone with a bit of chemistry background can do the math quickly, the shit can only burn so hot in a non-controlled environment...and that's not hot enough to melt steel.

Then, there were the eyewitness reports...reports that I saw happening in real time on 9/11 in which reportes said that they heared a "series of explosions". All of those reports have been squashed in favor of the "official" story.

Sorry kids. The US government has had plans similar to this since the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was called Operation Northwoods. They were going to blow up a plane full of college kids and blame it on Cuba to gain support for war with Cuba in the 60's. This was a plan developed by our own government. The Freedom of Information Act is a beautiful thing.

But you know what? So is the Patriot Act. Theoretically, anyone who manages to somehow get to the bottom of what really happened, would automatically qualify as an "enemy of the USA" and be snatched up under cover of night by the kids in the black helicopters. The Patriot Act is an end-around to the Bill of Rights, and if the founders of this nation were alive today, they would have organized a revolution against any government who legislated the seizure of our inalienable rights under ANY circumstances.

The Patriot Act in essence, gives the US Government a free pass to silence any voice that becomes loud enough to make people question the official talking points for 9/11. What happened, and what we were told, are two entirely different things.
