If they simply "stopped paying attention", how would you explain the CIA's orders to the Jeddah consulate to grant Al Qaeda operatives visas into the country?
How do you explain the fact that once in the country, the alleged hijackers received training at secure military installations.
It is you, sir, who needs to read some books:
Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II
Confessions of an Economic Hitman
Tragedy and Hope
Wall Street and The Bolshevik Revolution
Wall Street and The Rise of Hitler
Foundations: Their Power and Influence
Bank Control of Large Corporations in the United States
Wake up to reality my friend. These people are not, and have never been, incompetent or negligent. If they were either, they wouldn't be in the positions of power they are in today.

I don't know about you, but that seems like a shit ton of successful coups. No one does it better than the US.
I have a book on my shelf called Killing Hope: US Military and CIA
Interventions Since World War II.
The U.S. is fucking brutal.
> I would like to invite you to come to Russia and see how much bullshit we are fed everyday not only about the US but about the West in general. It is unbelievable!
Have been before, don't really need to go to see the bullshit propaganda spread there just need to watch a little bit of Russia-1 ;)
> there are thousands of outlets with all kinds of perspective and bias
My point is the BIG channels are generally the ones people watch and believe, come on lad very few people actually look up small news sites and blogs most just go to whatever the main ones are CNN , BBC etc..
> Comparing Russian propaganda to the US one is like comparing a Master of deceit to a Marketing strategist. But anyway, the world is not Russia vs US dude, so, stop just bringing up the US to justify anything about Russia.
I'd say US propaganda is pretty good with all the "justified" things they've done over the years including screwing elections in other countries and wars, these are the ones that worked : Iran (1953); Guatemala(1954); Thailand (1957); Laos (1958-60); the Congo (1960); Turkey (1960, 1971 & 1980); Ecuador (1961 & 1963); South Vietnam (1963); Brazil (1964); the Dominican Republic (1963); Argentina (1963); Honduras (1963 & 2009); Iraq (1963 & 2003); Bolivia (1964, 1971 & 1980); Indonesia (1965); Ghana (1966); Greece (1967); Panama (1968 & 1989); Cambodia (1970); Chile (1973); Bangladesh (1975); Pakistan (1977); Grenada (1983); Mauritania (1984); Guinea (1984); Burkina Faso (1987); Paraguay (1989); Haiti (1991 & 2004); Russia (1993); Uganda (1996);and Libya (2011).

Since the conversation is about Pro- & Anti-Russian propaganda I can't not bring up Russia vs US.
> Keep on watching RT and TASS and Sputniknews. Putin thanks you!
I watch a little bit of everything tbh, I like to hear both versions of the story, one where its justified other where its a "war-crime" for example
Yes. The U.S. has never intervened for moral reasons.
Killing Hope. If you really love the United States you'll check this book out. It will make you sick to your stomach.
I would also recommend William Blum's Killing Hope and Rogue State, as well as Chalmers Johnson's trilogy on empire, Blowback, Sorrows of Empire, and Nemesis.
Or just read this..

Killing Hope, by William Blum is the definitive book on these matters.
A very good read.
Well publicly available information may not always be the best place for information on conspiracies. Whether big secrets can stand the test of time is itself a paradox. What is publicly known is that the USA/CIA has been involved in covert activity around the world killing elected presidents, funding death squads, destabilising democracies...

"Far and away the best book on the topic."

The question is certainly not would or could this be an inside job
just simply was it. For the record I don't know, in many ways I don't care. There is enough public information to know how power operates to lead me the conclusion that all these things are inside jobs whether planned directly or not. A relatively small group of people hold sway over huge resources militarily, economically, culturally and create an environment that maintains the status quo - a status quo of hopelessness, environmental destruction and human misery. Power is not passive in this it continually lobbies for it and against any challenge to this status quo by 'pretty much' all means necessary.

Read his book "Killing Hope"; it is profusely documented with citations.
