The Truth: Far Worse Than The Truthers

Despite being an outspoken opponent of the 9/11 conspiracy theorists, George Galloway had on his programme last night, and will be having on it again this evening, one Tom Kylie. Building Seven, on the BBC fifteen minutes before it happened, you know the sort of thing.

But if the world is a conspiracy, then it is a remarkably unsuccessful conspiracy.

And in the case of 11th September 2001, the truth is far worse than a mere inside job.

That day was indeed the happiest day in the life of George Bush: at last, something that could be used to bring about his otherwise inconceivable second term as President.

And also in the lives of the neocons whose unwitting, because witless, puppet he was: at last, an excuse to take out Iraq, Iran, Syria... Anywhere but the real culprit, the country that funds both the Bushes and the Clintons.

But this was not because of any sort of conspiracy. Rather, it was because, in their own terms, they had suddenly found themselves lucky beyond their wildest dreams.

Yes, it really was, and it really is, as bad as that.
