I never said i 'won't allow' you do anything! Quote: Very shallow of you to suggest that I somehow disregard the knowledge I have of conspiracy towards 911 because I agree with him about Goldman Sachs. I never said you should disregard anything! I simply said i was surprised that you were promoting his work. I would also be surprised to see Mark Roberts anti-Bush views on here even though its a position most posters could agree with him on! Quote: Don't you get a sense of absurdity about this whole debacle? If by 'this whole debacle' you mean the corrupt activities of venture capitalists, yes i agree it is absurd and i'm grateful to journalists like Taibbi for campaigning against it. I think it's an ugly aspect of capitalism that we must work hard to legislate against. Quote: The fact that he is stating such a large conspiracy himself actually points to validating a larger conspiracy I disagree, it doesn't necessarily follow at all. Just because the 1919 world series was fixed doesn't validate the idea that all sporting events are corrupt. As we can see by Taibbi's expose, conspiracies are notoriously difficult to hide, the more people involved the higher the risk, the larger the conspiracy the less viable it becomes. Quote: It really shows how a group of people could pull off something so huge and show how powerless anyone out there is to do anything about it. I think it's a bit defeatist to suggest people are powerless. Corrupt governments and institutions can be healed. The civil rights movement has shown us that. The exposing of the Enron scandal and the legislative improvements in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act show us how important it is to help evolve our democratic system and to strive for better. Quote: And that reminds me alot of how the 911 investigations were stymied and first responders testimony was redacted and not presented. You need to be careful of the context of these 'stymied' investigations. Institutions or individuals who may have been fearful of being made a scapegoat for the security negligence on 911 may not have been transparent as they should, this doesn't incriminate them in the planning of 911. I'm not sure about the specific first responders testimony you are referring to, claims are made about people like Kevin McPadden and Patricia Ondrovic but their evidence should speak for itself! Quote: So there are alot of parallels whether you or Matt or I agree on it from the onset. I disagree, I can't see any parallels between the Goldman Sachs story and what Matt Taibbi calls the Great Derangement of 911 inside job theories. Edited by Bernie big shorts, Jul 5 2009, 01:38 PM.
