As for the drug companies, they do profit off of people needing their drugs. And there's very limited free market competition to keep them honest because they lobby the hell out of politicians for patent laws that ensure the market is near impenetrable for potential competitors.

I'm not saying they're outright poisoning people or whatnot. Just that there's more financial incentive for drug companies to focus on managing illness than to strive for actual cures.
How do you know who is anti vaccine and who isn't? I can't tell when I go out,not like we wear a secret marking or something lol.

You get the gist though. It was a big con to start a bunch of illegal wars of aggression for all sorts of greedy and nefarious reasons. As long as that is well understood the details fall into place later for those interested in them.
THEY werent the govt. They were insurers of the building and airlines.
So the reason this hasnt been revealed to be the govts crime of the century.... is because other people arent as interested as you are? How about everyone looked at the details and found nothing, and your details are just wrong.

You can start by documenting govt payouts to victims families.

The insurance settlements are well known.

Oh and as for illegal wars.... specify what code was violated and its issuing authority. Cmon now, if something is illegal then a law was broken. It must be in writing somewhere. Arent you interested in details?

A little news flash for you. Both wars were launched by passing US laws. Approved by the house and senate and president.
Take a look at the roll call for the vote on afghanistan. Virtually unanimous. All those legislators were greedy and nefarious. Right.
If it was all a con job why did the taliban defy us, saying they would protect bin laden.... which signed their death warrant? Wouldnt they just shout out to the world we were a bunch of evil meanyheads and they had nothing to do with it?

I was interested in the details 18 years ago. Interested enough to get them right.

Plenty.

For one, the U.S. government orchestrated the mass poisoning of booze during the prohibition era, leading to over 10,000 deaths.

Paul is dead.

But seriously, the 1985 NBA Draft Lottery was fixed. The League didn't want the Pacers, and not the Knicks, to get Ewing.

i wouldn't consider this a conspiracy since the government's requirement to add toxins/poisons to industrial alcohol ( in an attempt to get it from being distilled into consumable alcohol ) wasn't a secret at the time.
