Erm... am I Lihop or Mihop????

[GreenPartyVoter]

I believe that Bu$h gave an order for military jets to stand down so the airliners could crash into the buildings, but I don't necessairly think he set up the hijackings.

Does that make me Lihop??

1. I'd say that edges you into the MIHOP column

Welcome to the growing group of sincere people who have carefully examined the evidence, and come to the only possible conclusion in the face of ongoing Stonewalling of the 9/11 investigation by BushCo.

Every informed citizen counts.

MIHOP

2. So what is the definition of LIHOP?

[Minstrel Boy]

3. My understanding is that

LIHOP is passive, MIHOP is active.

LIHOP means doing nothing; intentionally looking the other way.

MIHOP means abetting the strike somehow, or even conceiving it.

I consider myself MIHOP, because I believe the hijackers had "guardian angels" in the government, who ensured the success of their actions.

5. I'm more MIHTDN

Made It Happen Through Deliberate Negligence. But that's just a lawyer's quibble.

4. LIHOP vs MIHOP

Let It Happen On Purpose (not actively invovled in doing it but did nothing to stop it)

Made It Happen On Purpose (actively invovled in causing it to happen)

I think it takes a good 3-6 months to learn all the acronyms around here :)

6. The order for the jets standing down

does seem like it puts me in the MIHOP column.

Given the policy we have on hijackings, it seems unlikely that even extreme incompetence could account for those four planes managing to disappear, with three of them crashing into buildings.

7. There was a HIHOP at one time.

Helped it happen on purpose. Kind of between "let it" LIHOP and MIHOP.

MIHOP became clouded by an overly slick onslaught of conjecture that the WTC was blown up because "the WTC couldn't have fallen like that unless it there had been explosives inside it before the planes hit." And, conjecture that no one saw the plane hit the Pentagon, and no plane could be seen in the photos. This coincided with THREE French books on 9/11, the first about 9/11 Intelligence, the second about explosives in the WTC and no plane in the Pentagon, the third by the authors of the first discussing the second book.

The second book works like a Right-wing well-funded plant allowing the likes of Rush, Coulter, Hannity, et. al. TO DISCREDIT the left using the second book's wild accusations as too incredible, therefore the leftists must be crazy... The book was a best-seller in France as I recall, probably because it was bought by the case, i.e. not read, by those who had it written and funded the slick web site.

HIHOP involved, for me, that Bush Admin knew and may have had the head of our nation's guard stand down. The head appointed by Bush was from Texas ANG overheard by other ANG people to take care of Bush's ANG record, that record still remains unavailable. I heard it was "lost" on its way to long term storage.

HIHOP also could involve keeping the FBI from investigating the Binladen family and the Mousoui computer files, then later rewarding the FBI upper staff with bonuses. A week prior to 9/11 federal agents raided the offices of Infocom shutting down websites that may have engaged a failsafe for the terrorists keeping them from delaying the 9/11 attack. The pResident after his month-long vacation then proceded to read the "Hungry Catapiller" at a series of one-story school buildings far from Washington or New York.

Regardless of whether he HELPED or MADE it happen, he LET it happen. So, I stick with LIHOP, although HIHOP seems most reasonable.
