18. Who takes advantage of public ignorance?
Edited on Sat Aug-21-04 09:13 PM by Pallas180
let's see.

-Attack on the US ship in the Gulf of Tonkin which started the Viet Nam war. The attack never happened.

-Col. Smedley Butler wrote of the government using the US Army to pave the way for private corporations again and again, from 1917 on.

--West Nile Virus was shipped to Iraq - from US govt. laboratories, but
it's really just some quirky virus - not manufactured by US bio warfare labs at all.

-The CIA released poison gas into San Francisco subways to test out
its effects on "subjects".

- The Joint Chiefs of Staff General Lemnitzer 1960's plan "Northwoods" to attack and kill American Citizenry to make Americans angry enough to support going to war.

I could go on - but I'd be sitting at this computer for months.

the history is all there. you just have to look for it.

or be part of the "public".
