@Schwartzesque @pbump Q is why was this reported in the first place? In a world of easy fabrication, imitation, everything is hearsay. Objects are never what they appear to be. Where are legible disclaimers or graphically reduced warnings above every lede? "X" = uncorroborated govt submitted evidence. @Schwartzesque @pbump "Y" = evidence not directly linked by verified chain to subject, "Z" = statistically improbable behavior (presidential candidates son dropping off laptop, never retrieving, store owner not tracking subject down, contacting FBI). Why aren't consumers of news being educated?

@DudeeeeeeNick @nils_gilman @Vinncent boiling water is non-linear. in folk psychology you see this as cause and effect, but when you look at the complexity of this, or actions, it's technically correlation
tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standa… @DudeeeeeeNick @nils_gilman @Vinncent same in history, no cause and effect, we see correlation, how to invade Iraq? simple statistical probabilities:

(1998-2000)
3 years x 40-50/year = 120-150 meetings on terrorism at Cabinet level in Clinton admin.

(2001)
1 meeting on terrorism at Cabinet in Bush admin.

rather than sup the 9/11 narrative, why not some episodic-analytic research (strip away the intent of U.S. leadership) and examine strictly the actionable intel and their actions. first is the leaked mass of pre-intel, all citations are legitimate outlets.
historycommons.org/essay.jsp?arti… same intel used at the 2001 Genoa G-8, with the U.S. fearing a suicide plane attack, has Bush sleep on the USS Enterprise, surrounded by an array of anti-aircraft vessels. while FAA intel briefs within US warn of the same thing, nothing is done. analysis?
