Your friend is saying, in effect, that she can draw a fence around a subject regardless of the facts.

If one has done his research and has confidence in his facts, then I've found this to be a handy phrase:

"Incredulity is not an argument."

A major part of what I've personally dealt with in my pursuit of '9/11 truth' is the rather high, general level of propaganda and outright lying that occurs in public discourse. Normal people are at a disadvantage because while we often fib from time to time about things of small import -- "no honey, you don't look fat at all" -- we normal people don't expect others to lie so easily about those things that really do matter.

Valid points as always, blog. It's pretty evident that there's overlap or collusion between Neocons and Zionists in both make-up and mutual agenda. We've already noted the forbidden topic of Mossad van bombs on 9/11..

Silverstein: in control of the World Trade Center that is attacked and demolished.
Rumsfeld / Wolfowtiz: in charge of the Pentagon that is attacked
Kissinger / Zelikow : in charge of the cover-up commission
Hellerstein : in charge of all 9/11 litigation

These guys are all playing for the same team, and it's not American justice. Whoever the perpetrators were entrusted these 6 for a successful operation and cover up.

When I was in college the cause célèbre was leveling sanctions and divestment schemes against South Africa. I was against this for several economic reasons. A female friend silenced my protestations with a Niagara of vitriol: "how dare you support a slave state....." I shouldn't have to tell this audience but sanctions hurt the poor more than anyone. Also, at the time unemployment was low and there was growth in the economy. The results of this were seen in the relaxing of Pass Law restrictions which allowed for the emergence of a Black technical class and a chance for Blacks to participate in the equity of the economy. Economics is not my field but my predictions proved to be prescient. While divestment had a hand in bringing down the apartheid regime it was also instrumental in capital flight. Unemployment is as high now as 26% with many living on U.S. $1.25 per diem. Also, the country has "sold its paper" to multinational corporations and bought into the whole IMF loan scheme. I still remember that day all those years ago walking under a banner suspended from a bridge over a four lane boulevard that said: " DIVEST NOW! with that woman (why did I ever love her) harping like a fishwife and telling me what to think. Well, come to find out these causes du jour are hatched out somewhere, I am not sure where, but they seem to emminate from Harvard or Yale. If I didn't know better I would think that some liberal progressive organization thinks them up. But I do know better because everything in this country outboard of Genghis's left stirrup is controlled by outriders; so no it is not the progressives; I am sure of that much. Perhaps they are dreamed up as some kind of "safety valve:"you want something to get really mad about, how about apartheid......" Back at the U., years later, doing some grad courses and some administrative research and the de rigeur protestations are centered around living wages for janitors and custodians. I check and the campus at Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts is awash in solidarity with the broom handlers as well. Remember John Reed? He was an American Communist who graduated from Harvard College in 1910. He was made famous in the movie Reds staring Warren Beatty. Jack, as he was called, covered the Russian Revolution and wrote about it in Ten Days that Shook the World . Jack Reed is burried in the Kremlin. Well it seems that any good, incipient, commie at Harvard around the tournant du siècle was interested in only two things: World Revolution and living wages for janitors. So, you see, these things are just dreamed up somewhere and even recycled. I hate to say it but your friend is not doing any original thinking but is reciting from a script, written and inculcated in her how and in what matter I don't know but I am sure of it because I have seen the pattern.
