I would belive so too. And with the compensation they can set up a new venture and go on with business as usual. I have really no comments on that part, it is the way the capitalist world works. But...
If this was the trigger for the 9/11 then it is scary as nothing else, but not at all impossible.
In the light of all the not so interesting discussions about the election in the US, no one seems to give a thought to how much is at stake in terms of dollars. The budget for running for the offices is mindboggling, and that money needs to come from somewhere, aka someone. This someone is someone you are bound to feel in debt to.
There are stories untold. Actually, the "Twillight Zone" theme would really be perfect here, but on a serious note
But, too, there is bound to be. it is no more than 7 years that past, most of the portfolios (controlling shares) that changed hands then should be close to their sources still today.
The ownership of a public company in US are surely readily available information.
Just need an excel chart and a few days tracing to see what happended then and what gives today. AND... who owns the holding companies buying and selling, who owns the creditors behind companies rescued and what makes them different to those not rescued (i.e who owns the the companies who went bust).
There is surely a story to be read in there, the finanance world is not very big, even if one sometimes want to believe it is.
Btw, I have not read the "fine print" of that bail out yet, but I wonder how the "people" actually owns their share of AIG. I guess it wont give them much good en the real world, spas or no spas.
Who were the creditors and who owns them? We could add some to that story finding those, I am sure.
The issues has long gone past a religious question of course. There are other interests in control.
But as long as we identify us with one group we are effectively staying out of another. Tribes fought back then, and they seem to still fight.
Dream of a better world sooth the tiredness but reading the news brings it back.
To head back to Belfast, it is surely a modern city with all its ingredients, is it not? What would be a way out of this dead lock with walls and dammed up feelings?
Very well made, they did point out some unanswered questions.
What I find hard to take in is that the makers of the movie is simply putting the blame on Bush and company. Not that I think they stand above greed and want of power, the opposite, but all in all, it looks like a very well directed robbery for 800 million USD worth of gold plus some stock market speculation.
Now, that kind of money can make many able people go crooked. The political agenda in the 9/11 is not clear enough to me, but the money issue is very clear indeed.
So who did it, and how?
As I said before, I think the theory of detonations in the buildings are working. More so since everyone in the official investigation seem to look away from it.
One thing is already solid in my view, the events was used by the Bush administration to reenter the middle east with armed forces. If that was a chance they took, or an oppurtunity they created for themselves I can not say.
Whatever their reasons and hopes, they are still far away from any result. Maybe that is where they want to be?
That would be the oldest reason, and in Belfast they have them close in history. What gets me is that in Dublin the Protestants and the Catholics are doing just fine.
How many other high rise steel buildings have been hit with an airliner? The situation is macabre and rare.
One thing not to forget is the possibility of a construction flaw, since both towers went. Even if the steel itself would not melt, how much did the nuts on the bolts expand when heated? That could make them blow, and take out three and the stability is gone.
But in theory, if they really wanted to make a statement when they flew into the towers, it makes sense if they first prepped the building to really make it come down, since that was the message, bring the western (not just US) financial hub down. They have always been handy with explosives.
I don’t know if they can measure the temperature created in there by certainty, there are a lot of wind at those heights and fuel and fire with streaming oxygen is bound to create a melting point. That is how we learnt to melt iron in the first place.
The magnetic field thing sound weird, but I know too little about it to comment. Sure they can get my compass go crazy and I sail a few degrees in the wrong directions, but stronger than that - WTC a la Stonehenge?
A silenced issue in Europe for sure, it is only called the Norther Ireland problem but never actually together with a clear picture of how the life is lived there.
There are very few dividing walls left in the world, Israel got their up recently but most of them has been taken down or are part of a countries defence line.
What you describe is prison like, like camps for people based on religion. I thought this was against the Geneva convention, particulary when you are not let to pass in between freely.
RE: Maybe its Karma - OXFAM only need $260 million.........
Not at all, you just dropped this bomb in the wrong part of CS. The fuse wont take here
