Why do you suppose the FBI allowed 9/11 to happen? They had all the clues
sitting right there on their desks. Either they are completely inept or
else they decided that 3,000 civilian lives lost was a small price to pay to
advance their agenda of totalitarianism.

This part might be a little hardcore for me -- I would like to think it
cannot be true that it was allowed to happen, but then again...

I doubt very seriously that the Powers That Be really would have sat on their
hands if they knew 3,000 people would die. My point is that they had all the
clues and they should have had a better grip on what was about to happen than
they did. Even if they had little chance of preventing it from happening, the
record has shown that they actively ignored numerous warning signs. And this
when they were already supposedly re-vamping in order to avoid repeats of a
number of organizational failures of the recent past. So the public response is
to give them greater power and less accountability? That makes perfect sense to
me... NOT!!!
I’m willing to be charitable and concede that it was probably simple ineptitude
on their part. But it is sad when the best-case scenario is that they don’t
know what the Family they’re doing. Same thing with Dubya.
