Doesn't it remind you of a more recent scenario, one that seemed to rise after the 911 paranoia? "You're with us or you're against us." We all know where that came from, and frankly, it's just history repeating itself.

I'm not big on 9/11 conspiracies (or any conspiracies for that matter), but governments have proven, time and time again, that they are capable of even the most ludicrous, headscratching plots. And sometimes they actually follow through with it. The existence of nuclear weapons are cold, hard evidence to that.
The problem with conspiracies are the fact of how many people it would take to create a 911 Tower to fall. One would think that with all those people - one would crack. If beams were cut who cut them... The same is with other conspiracies.

The difference here is that it is not a conspiracy and The Operation Northwood is available for anyone to see. It's an out right abuse of power by an official bound to protect. Now with invested interest in power and control over people throughout the world. It's hard to imagine one in power wouldn't bring this operation back.
