Capitan, that's partly it, yes.
But more what I'm getting at, is tptb have no desire to keep the US of A inctact. Why would they, when they have for eons been shooting for a one-world govt? So, the collapse is planned. I mean good God, anecdotal quotes from David Rockefeller alone put this sharply into context. I've referenced these and other quotes before, but people really need to familiarize themselves with how tptb really view things (see link) (link #2).
So Bush and his admin are the current and soon "fall guys". What they are going for is to get people so fed up with the current administration (but not wake up and see any further than that), to vocalize en masse and thus willfully welcome in a new form of totalitarian government following another staged attack -- IE the US attacking itself and blaming others. And thus give them "justification" to declare a state of emergency and put into practice the horrific laws that were passed since 911. This, to me anyways, is what they are likely going for -- while at the same time, as you've alluded to, doing it all right in front of our face -- again handily using our general disgust with the administration for their own nefarious purposes. These types of manouverings have been done time and time again.
They would NOT like it if the public's disgust DOES NOT REMAIN WITH THE ADMINISTRATION BUT INSTEAD GOES DEEPER IN AWARENESS OF THE REAL ISSUES. They're cockily betting that this doesn't happen.
Yesterday I referenced the fantastic movie, "America: From Freedom to Fascism", which was freely on Google in its entirety (link). From where I sit, I see that it's unavailable right now. This is the type of information that is not wished to become public knowledge, as it delves 1 or 2 levels deeper than the "911 Loose Change" genre -- IE it does not merely blame the current administration. While I see quite clearly they don't want this to become common knowledge, I will remain hopeful that movie was not removed due to fascist censorship, and will resurface.
