Sigh ... plese not this conspiracy theory again. I'm a history buff, and WW2 is a particular fascination, so what have you got and make sure it's good. |

I laughed at the notion "London knew about the attacks," insinuating it was a nonsensical as anyone knowing about Pearl Harbour, or 9-11, or any of a hundred other historical events, where governments claim they knew about an event "but let it happen" for an array of political reasons, insidious or no. As I stated, better for governments to appear somewhat incompetent than totally ineffectual.
I never stated any support or ownership of the Pearl Harbour conspiracy theory -- I was mocking it. You people around here need to lay off the E, then go look up the word "context" and possibly also "irony, sarcasm and satire" -- because few of you have any clue what's being said around here most of the time. I agree, "I wish indeed I had a better education" than that of you two, who cherry-pick out one phrase in two paragraphs to comment on, totally misrepresent it, and then respond with subsequent and total irrelevancy.
If you wanna bash a particular theory, mindset, or opinion, go right ahead (and I'll probably enjoy it) -- but don't make such childish efforts to depict someone as holding to a theory you want to flame when they clearly and obviously do not (not just me, I see positions thrust onto people here all the time they don't espouse). Person A decides their goal in posting is to ad hominem person B; person A then says person B thinks Pinochet was really cool and proceeds to flame -- even though person A never said any such thing. This is laughable, grade school tactics and just makes you look intellectually challenged and totally dishonest (OCC, if anyone around here should know better it's you). I cannot breathe for the smoke being generated by the burning straw man armies.
BTW I'm glad however you don't buy the whole "US-knew-about-Pearl-Harbour-and-let-it-happen-to-rally-support-for-US-entry-into-the-War-which-really-wasn't-our-problem." It's generally codified American historical fact by now (where it is simularly better for one's ego to say one knew about it and let it happen then to admit one got a severe thrashing they never saw coming), see the ignorant, patriotism-induced remarks above.
Toodles,

My offical title is operational risk analyst. And TrancerX was correct about who I work for.

Huh? You're extremely unclear in your mockery. You said:
| quote: |
"London knew about attacks?"
*cough*PearlHarbour*cough*
*cough*9/11*cough*
|
Which appears to insinuate a correlation between all those events in their nature (the coughing implies obviousness). You then say:
| quote: |
Comes a time (for some governments, quite often) when it is better to manufacture a situation that makes the government appear simply incompetent, rather than totally ignorant, out-of-touch, and ineffectual.
-Noble
|
Where you equate incompentance on the part of the government (which I agree with) with ... ignorance, out-of-touchness, and ineffecutality ... in other words, incompetance. So how is a reader supposed to infer mockery from your statement as a whole? Once again you seem to assign blame on the reckless misinterpretations of everyone else to understand you when perhaps the error of communication rests on your shoulders? Just a thought.
