Hina Rabbani Khar, Pakistan Foreign Minister: Drones Are Top Cause Of Anti-Americanism

Friday, September 28, 2012


Anyway that you consider 9/11 (as a false-flag operation, our oil-based economy, our relationship with the Saudi royals, etc.), our policies were ultimately responsible.  

As someone who has lost loved ones to terrorism, I can tell you that you get that our government's response isn't about making Americans' safer and has everything to do with commerce, business, making the rich richer.  

The first week after 9/11, Bush urged Americans to "Get down to Disney World in Florida,take your families and enjoy life, the way we want it to be enjoyed."

Do you recall Bush's TRIA (the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act?  

TRIA was Bush's great big giveaway to the insurance industry.  A holiday from having to pick up costs to businesses from terrorism; it created a federal "backstop" for insurance claims related to acts of terrorism. "Let the taxpayer do it!"

TRIA was supposed to be a temporary measure to allow time for the insurance industry to develop their own solutions and products to insure against acts of terrorism. It was set to expire December 31, 2005, but was extended for another two years in legislation in December 2005, making the new expiration date December 31, 2007.

On December 26, 2007, it was again extended under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, which extends the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act through Dec. 31, 2014.

Funny how that happens, isn't it?  (Patriot Act, Bush's tax cuts for the rich, payroll tax holidays, etc.)
