I’ve been a hard Euroskeptic since my national conservative days - which I still am even as a communist.

I’ve found new reasons to dislike the European Union moving to the left so as to how the Western left supports them is baffling imo.

    Nah fam, false flag attacks are a well-documented tool used by the US to get whatever it wants. 9/11 conspiracy spaces may have their kooks but you will be missing out on a wealth of information if you discard all of it based on 1 kook.

        I don’t think Bush literally planned 9/11 but he and his people were extremely tight with the Saudis and Saudi intelligence, as well as with Pakistani intelligence especially at that time, and they used SI and PI to cultivate AQ since they wanted a useful enemy in the Middle East to justify their PNAC shit.

        So “did bush do 9/11” I think no, AQ did that, but Bush and the neocons did have a direct hand in establishing AQ as an anti-US force since they wanted the justification to do what they spent the past 20 years doing.

        Holographic planes and this sensationalist nonsense is to distract you from the less sensational but actually very real money trail. It’s easy to debunk holographic planes as not true and actually kind of insane and so US intelligence Astroturfs about holographic planes and everyone focuses on the holographic planes instead of the Carlyle Group.

        I don’t think Bush ever sat down and said “we need to get them to fly planes into the WTC”, but he absolutely did plan “we need to get these guys money and training in how to make bombs and plan large scale terrorist attacks against the US because it’s useful for me if they kill a bunch of Americans.”

          I believe it goes further than that but I would see your comment as an acceptable middle ground that socialists everywhere should be able to agree on.

          Regardless of the details of 9/11, the American Empire had some degree of a purposeful hand in, at least, cultivating an environment where such a thing would happen, eager to exploit it for propaganda and fear, and it was used to justify a new age of war and surveillance. I would like to think that summary is something most of us would agree with?

        This is an example of kookery, I’ve never even heard of anything about holograms.

        Would I let the kookery of Holocaust Denialism lead me to dismiss the “conspiracy theory” that the Holodomor was nothing like we are taught in the West? Would I let the kookery of New Age LA-ism lead me to dismiss “conspiracy theories” about how eating excessively processed and sweetened foods is bad?

        You see what I’m saying?

          They are often baseless and lacking scientific thought
