>>13319942It caused me endless paranoia for a long time, but what can you do? It's surely what happened. One has to think of the poor simulation pilots, what they were going through, or the folks who transferred passengers, or the fighters that shot down flight 93. Only the simulation pilots are sure the attack is a fake, the rest are just hopelessly confused with conflicting evidence. Government doesn't usually have events like this, where one person screws things up deliberately from the inside, they aren't prepared for it.
I later found corroboration of this story from a filmmaker who reported that there was a simulation, and that the simulation pilots were doing the attack thinking it was a simulation. ( at ~7 min:

That was enough for 5 sigma confidence for "I nailed it", assuming he is telling the truth, but also to admire the bravery of those who would speak up when they thought the whole government was taken over by illuminati. I at least was secure that it's just one crazy dude, maybe two, not a thousand illuminati.
The attack was not done to invade Afghanistan, or Iraq. It was done as a crazy ridiculous plan hatched in the mind of one person. So the invasions were a side effect that George Bush was scratching his head, he had absolutely no idea how this happened. He was probably just as paranoid and confused as everyone else. He probably prayed, and God told him Iraq did it. Whatever. He obviously couldn't accuse his own officials, he trusted them, and he rammed through whatever, because he decided that there was lots of Islamic fundamentalist evil afoot.
I don't think he was saying anything different in private than he was in public. He wasn't the one in charge of the drills that day, that was someone else. The internal deliberations regarding the invasions happened as they played out in public.
