2.2.0 Our leaders would not do this...

Once the conspiracy theorist barrier has been broken down, the idea that our leaders would, for moral reasons, not carry out the attacks of 9/11, is usually the next barrier that must be broken down.

The benign-leader psyche penetrates deep into society, but is not supported by historical evidence. Certainly, the atrocities of ancient civilizations and the despicable acts of middle-Age kings shows that very few leaders through history have acted on behalf of the people they supposedly serve. So perhaps then, at some point, political leaders developed a moral conscience?

When was this, then? The acts committed by the British Empire, which dominated a quarter of the world at its height, are indefensible. Perhaps then, it was in the 20th century, that our leaders started serving the interests of their people?

But in fact, the 20th century many, many examples that seem to show that there was no sudden development of moral conscience. World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War were all justified through false-flag attacks.

Operation Northwoods provides perhaps the most chilling example of a United States government acting with no morals whatsoever. That was in 1962.

So have our leaders developed a moral conscience over that last four decades? Once again, we see much evidence to the contrary. The question of false-flag acts aside, we see how little our leaders care for us by their handling of the asbestos-filled Ground Zero site, and of the Katrina Hurricane.
