Holy shit what a fun thread.![]()
It's not that the government doesn't have a history of using fear as a political tool, it's that there's a significant difference between manipulating established fears (for example, the GOPs use of anti-Castro propaganda in areas with significant ex-pat cuban populations), manipulating events as they happen or narrowly afterwards (anti-iraq misinformation during the first gulf war) and actually creating significant events from scratch.
The US does the first two quite often (as do most governments. It's a powerful tool for galvanising public opinion), but there's no evidence that they've done the third since the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

Wow I still can't believe this discussion is still going on, you'd think this guy would give up already.
Glanced at your site. I'm a big fan of the "you have to prove me wrong, even though I can't prove I'm right" thing you've got going.
Edit: What Hypnos said. You took the time to write (although poorly) all that crap, but couldn't be bothered to clarify anything, or link the sources properly? Seems like a site made by a dumb teenager to me.

None of which are referenced to what you're saying in the main document and half of which are secondhand sources that themselves don't cite their info. I can't tell which ones are supposed to support which assertions
Not to mention how many of them are from rather dubious sources (hint: Infowars and Worldnetdaily have well-deserved poor reputations for accuracy).
