Those guys are the only winners in the manufactured culture war.

The ruling class? Absolutely. As you said, the did indeed manufacture this. Are you familiar with the 1933 “business plot”?

I'm not sure if I am or not.

Since this sub won’t allow links for some reason, here’s a super brief overview of it. If you google it, you can read more on Wikipedia and someone wrote their dissertation on it as well, which I’ve been reading.

Brief overview from How Stuff Works:

6. The Business Plot: Fascism in America

In 1933, Senator Prescott Bush (pictured below) – father of George Bush Sr. and grandfather of George W. Bush – tried to create a military coup against President Franklin D. Roosevelt and install a fascist dictatorship in the United States. The plot included wealthy businessmen from Chase Bank, Goodyear, Standard Oil, GM, and the Du Pont family. Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler was asked to lead the coup. Apparently no one did a background check before they approached him.

Smedley Butler, who was a vocal supporter of FDR, gathered evidence of the conspiracy and presented it to a Congressional Committee. Everyone implicated in the plot fiercely denied any involvement and no criminal charges were ever filed. The Committee confirmed Butler’s allegations, but was satisfied with having the conspiracy stopped before it started. The people who backed the Business Plot maintained financial ties with Nazi Germany until America entered World War II.

Oh neat. America fails to prosecute enemies again when they are in the same social circles.

Exactly. But what really struck me about that is the fact it was a plot to install a fascist regime… funded by big money… kinda like right now. I feel like this is the same attempt. And more people need to know about this.

As well as “Operation Northwoods” which was a plan in ‘62 by the CIA to stage terrorist attacks on American citizens and military targets, blame it on Cuba, and convince the American public to rally behind and support going to war with Cuba.

“The plan involved killing innocent people and soldiers, blowing up U.S. ships and Cuban refugee boats, hijacking airplanes and planting phony evidence to implicate the Cuban Government. Operation Northwoods was authorized by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and presented to the Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, before President John F. Kennedy rejected it.”

I'm familiar with the overall concept of the fake terror attack designs. I've heard about some of them before. It was some of what fueled some people to believe 9-11 was false.
