Well what I got was the prison industrial complex, war on drugs etc has some kind of direct bearing on whoever is investigating the bombing. But it still remains to be explained in what way.
If you didn't understand it, that's fine. The original post is here:
You have a situation where the American authorities have killed millions of people, conservatively, have engaged in some of the worst atrocities in the history of the world, and countless war crimes. They've helped systematically run the American economy into the ground, engaged in unbelievable cronyism, and done nothing to prevent trillions of dollars being stolen from the public, in fact they've aided it. They've created a private prison system whereby the number of incarcerated Americans is now many times more than any other country on the planet, and private companies are paid per prisoner. Much of this huge fertile prison population that is exploited by corporations is due to the 'War on Drugs' which has helped build a massive police state architecture in the United States. At the same time the authorities have been caught running drugs into the United States multiple times. The police state has then been greatly enhanced by the 'War on Terror' as a result of which the federal government has claimed numerous completely unconstitutional powers. This just scratches the surface of some of the crimes of the US establishment.
Thus, it's absolutely staggering to me that any American person still wants to defend their establishment, still believes in it, and still unquestioningly trusts it. The only logical response is to be suspicious of the only people that stand to benefit from this, particularly when they inevitably finger a group that is inimical to their interests. Especially when, in addition to the list of unbelievable corruption and tyranny listed above, they've also engaged in covert intelligence actions all over the world, throwing out governments right, left and centre, supporting militia and terrorist groups on numerous occasions, and are documented to have carried out such atrocities on many occasions.
Yet all they've got to do is wheel the flag out, and the vast majority of people will suck up whatever Obama has to say. In fact, I saw many people speculating last night that it was either al-Qaeda or some pro-gun, anti-government nuts. Whichever one of those two groups the authorities choose to blame it on will just be accepted uncritically. Whatever response the government makes will be accepted uncritically. Whatever security provisions are put in place in Britain will be accepted uncritically. Whenever the economic armageddon reaches a critical point, whatever explanation Obama puts forward will be accepted uncritically. People will be annoyed about losing money, but there's not even the slightest chance that most people will have the critical faculties to understand what's occurred. In fact, the collapse of the dollar could be blamed on al-Qaeda, and most of the population would probably accept it.
Have another read by all means. It would be appreciated if after you read it this time you don't make reference to something off the DIF that I haven't read, or if you do, please at least mention the fact that you are doing so. Thank you.
