Directly related to the Commission is the recent BBC documentary by Adam Curtis on the significance of 911. It has Britain buzzing. American aren't being informed about it for reasons easy to see once you read the
transcript.
In looking for what 911 has become in The Power of Nightmares, starts in the 1970s when Wolfowitz and the rest of the crowd that stovepiped intelligence did
exactly the same thing during the cold war. Incredibly, Kissinger had in mind a more peaceful world through the development of an interdendent economy that would embrace the entire planet. Agree or not, it was more positive than the vision of the Neocons who saw Kissinger as their enemy. They wanted a world at perpetual war so the moral fibre of the American people would resist negative influences of the modern age.
That's why the stovepiped intelligence. They concocted a view of the Russians as engineering a world wide - get this - TERRORIST conspiracy that could destroy the US. The source of their information was largely gleaned from European newspapers.
The CIA saw it for what it was - rubbish. Indeed, their sources of information were in fact planted by the CIA, probably to unify the Europeans against the Russians. But the Neocons roped CIA head Casey into their vision, in part (whole?) because he had just read a novel proposing the same idea!
Come 911, and there was stovepiping all over again to support in essence the same thesis - a world wide terrorist network. Trouble is, says Curtiss, this unified orgaization was a fiction orginally concocted in the WTC trials because they needed to prosecute under RICO statutes and therefore needed a world wide organization. Bin Laden soon used the name to puff himself up.
There's much more. If you read the transcript, you will never again look at 911 in the same way. It's fascinating - and well documented.
