The main point of F 9/11: The War on Terror is a Sham...
I've seen lots of nit picking criticisms about who vetted the Saudis, when they left, etc. but I've not seen anyone take on the main point:

Moore comes flat out and says that there was and is no serious attempt to go after Bin Laden or al Qaeda because that isn't the point. The point, according to Moore, is to create a permanent state of fear and terror so that the current social structure can be maintained.

Anyone care to take that on?

1. Permanent state of fear
so that the current social structure can be re-engineered to favor the 'haves' even more! And to create a fascist state.

4. Agreed as to that being the means ....

moof does not claim to know for sure
but from one viewing of F911 moof has no problem stateing that

"to create a permanent state of fear and terror
so that the current social structure can be maintained."

is obvious as far as it goes. It does seem like mike has
stopped short of giving the audience the red pill, in fact as an analogy and an explaination moof would say that the story taking place on Earth right now does bear a striking resemblence to 1984 but mike regardless if he meant to or not has with F911 offered the masses the same choice offered to " Neo " in " The Matrix ".
In short mike has in effect offered the masses the choice of taking the red pill or the blue pill.

Mike at one earlier point in the film says
" it's not some plot to take over the world it's about money "

While moof is willing to say that this statement may not have been connected to the same dots Mike was discussing at that point in F911,
to say it's about money and not control is to say that you still are not ready to take the red pill.

DISCLAIMER: This was the first attempt to voice any conclusions moof drew from F911 and starting with this post at this time was fairly random, but moof will be reposting this thought in answer to many F911 discussions here at DU so apologies in advance for any repition but failing compelling arguements to the contrary moof will assume the let down from seeing F911 was because Mike does not yet see the complete picture or he sees it and knows the masses do not have the ability to get to the vantage point ( in one huge leap ) that will allow them to view it.
