22. I read something yesterday that may be of interest...
to this discussion.

If anyone here has read/studied Hegel, you'll probably remember the "triad" theory for how history advances (crudely referred to as "thesis, antithesis, synthesis"). Wiki has a decent explanation of this if it is new to you and you are interested in what I am typing.

Anyway, applying this to a poltical situation paints current events in a new light. It is possible, through Hegelian's triad, to look at the Bush/bin Laden situation in this manner to gain insight:

Bush and bin Laden have business and personal contacts extending well into the past. The organizations to which the Bush dynasty belongs are well-entrenched in the elite of Western society. The bin Laden family has a similar presence in the Middle East.

If we can now all agree that control of natural resources is the ultimate goal of US foreign policy in the Middle East, let us examine the world since 2001 with that in mind.

Bush, by proclaiming himself to be the champion of western democracies and christianity, has assumed the role of antagonist for the Middle East: "thesis". Bin Laden, by proclaiming himself to be the champion of self-determination for the Middle East and the leader of the resistance, has assumed the role of antagonist for the West: "antithesis".

So what is the "synthesis"? I've been troubled by this for years...and I think I understand it now. The "synthesis" will be the elimination of antagonists by creating an endless supply of antagonists.

The result of this "synthesis" will be simply the elimination of anyone willing to resist. Ethnic cleansing. Citizens in Western democracies have proven of late to simply accept, albeit with reservations, the decisions of the elite. We'll have peaceful protests, but we'll never really threaten our governments when they do horrible things. We accept creature comforts and false realities...and the vast majority of our populations accept the lies disseminated through the media because seeing the truth (pictures of children with their faces blown off) is too upsetting.

This thought sent chills through my body last night. They are using bin Laden, as a CIA asset, to recruit the most militant revolutionaries in the Middle East so they can be eliminated in mass numbers. That is why they don't catch him. His job is to recruit and fund "terrorists". By killng off those most willing to take up arms, they are creating an environment whereby the rest can be controlled as we are controlled in the West i.e. propaganda, dumbing down, etc. And once the Middle East is removed of revolutionaries and nationalists, control over natural resources will be easy.
