I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

    It’s my belief that 9/11 was like that too. I don’t think the US government orchestrated it, but I think they sat back and let it happen.

    Anyone who thinks Cheney and friends were above letting a few thousand people die to garner support for another war in the middle east is pretty naive.

      They did know there was a threat. That is completely true.

      Problem is there were lots of threats.

      They couldn’t separate the real threat from the noise.

      No, it wasn’t deliberate, but it was a failure of the intelligence community.
