911, the TTs, and Fiction
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in
wickedness
1 John 5:19
I have been trying so hard to steer away from "conspiracy theories" and "conspiracy facts" of late and stay focused on just the word. Have you noticed?
The other day I remember sharing with my wife how the scriptures declare "the love of money is the root of all evil"! Wow!! Stating the obvious!? No, not really! I specifically remember saying "money is not the root of all evil" (as misquoted these days by so many) but "THE LOVE of money is the root of all evil"!
So there it is in black and white ... money is not evil in any sense! It is just as neutral as any other trading commodity from milk tokens to bartering goods and cards. It is what you do with it or how you embrace it, what counts. We are commanded not to love money but to love God. We are instructed not to pursue riches but the
Psalms 15:5. "He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved."
I went on to expound ... by saying that the love of money is the root of all evil (as I emphasized ALL in this case) is actually saying that at the heart of everything wickedly connived, engineered, desired, and endeavoured by man, is filthy lucre ... the LOVE OF MONEY! Mans dreams and aspirations to be rich in this present world, in other words! Moreover, because of his nature, he will in the end, concoct up anything to attain riches if he can see an easy method in doing so, steam rolling over anyone who gets in the way, by allowing greed to take root. Where in the end, he will be able to brush aside any "Christian" principles or moral code of ethics, or adapt them to suit the occasion, justifying his "take and grab" demeanour.
So this is where plotting and scheming come into the picture, giving way to using the word "conspiracy". To hide his evil intentions, smokescreens and diversions will be set-up, along with alibis and half truths or straight out denials, to hide and cover his trail. The very reason political decisions are made and legislation and agendas are hatched out of nowhere at times. Where things do not appear as they are. Yes, the root of all evil is not conspiracies, nor religion, nor politics, nor politicking, but the love of money. These other things are just means to an end. Yes, it does simplify things down and confirms the Bible, to what lies behind wars or making peace with the enemy, multicorporation take-overs and monopolization through buying and selling.
After sharing all this with my wife, it was almost like a relief to her (as it was to myself previously) as she acknowledged how simple the whole issue is. Or how uncomplicated it really is. And it is! It is just that simple plans have to be veneered when the intention is dark. Even given a face lift to make it look good. Hence, out of these traits can come complicated and fuzzy strategies to sell or convey something that is not as it really is. Getting down to tin tacks, man can only serve one master at the end of the day. Either God (as our provider and security) or Mammon (the god of finance and wealth).
Fact is, in this life money is a necessity. It is an essential commodity.
Ecclesiastes 10:19. "A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things."
Money makes the world's system go round and round. But it is not the 'be all in all'. God is the one who calls the shots and has the ultimate say. Best to be on His side, who promises His children that He will never leave or forsake them, and will provide all their needs.
Shortly I will ask a simple question (which is to do with the so-called "War On Terror" by the way). A couple of years ago I sent out an email to my list. The email only consisted of a very simple question. Which was something like this ... "could anyone out there please show me just one photo of a Boeing 757 during 911 in the vicinity of the Pentagon, or making site for the Pentagon, or crashing into the Pentagon? Not one person was able to answer this question, and not one person has since. Despite the Pentagon being the most greatest hub of power in the world, which would've no doubt had more hi tech and sophisticated forms of camera surveillance in and around the place, than anywhere else (except Fort Knox maybe) more so than the World Trade Centre in New York.
Today a military C 130 aircraft plunged into a multi-story building in
Fact: A Lockheed C 130 generally carries more fuel than a Boeing 757.
Fact: The multi-storied building on the outskirts of
The above story opens up the same old question again by how did Boeing 757s bring down the Twin Towers when they were designed to take the full impact of multi crashes of Boeing 737 impacts carrying full capacities of fuel?
Early this year the same question arose when a 21 storied building caught fire in Madrid, built about the same time as the TTs, where the heat was greater in intensity than the TTs, yet the building remained intact after 24 hours of raging fire.

I am not an overly bright person. Ask me mates? But I can work out logically how a fire at a lower temperature will cause less damage to a much larger building that is built to withstand the same scenario happening to it's structure. However, apparently not in the case of the of 911 sequence in downtown Manhattan, even when the fire was beginning to be starved of oxygen and people re-emerged to stand at the side of the large gapping hole over two thirds of the way up the building, which the initial impact of the crash had created.
No ... I don't want to be conspiracy minded all the time. I am trying hard to avoid this. However, why can't I work out what simply happened? Can my analysis of this tragic event (and the analysis of many others more qualified and intelligent than myself) be connected in any way to what I have previously shared on this article?
