Japanese Parliament talks 9/11
01/15/2008 @ 6:00 pm
I came across this transcript of 9/11 hearings by the Japanese Parliament. I was hesitant to post it because I’m not one for conspiracy theories but it’s interesting to read. Yukihisa Fujita leads the questioning in to the events of that day and questions Japan’s role in the War on Terror.
Link would not appear…
January 15th, 2008 at 7:57 pmI just read it, but it kept tryimg to refresh the page untill I told it I would read the document in offline mode. Wonder what kind of access attempts to my machine PeerGuardian2 would have caught had I had it turned on while reading the transcript?
January 15th, 2008 at 8:33 pmDeja vu. I just happened to hear this on the radio when it was on. Bizarre.
January 15th, 2008 at 9:47 pmI couldn’t read the transcript because the link does not seem to be working (Gee. . . You think the NSA’s Echelon program picked it up and so they killed the webmaster?), but whenever I hear about any theory involving a massive conspiracy surrounding an event like 911, Flight 007, the Kennedy Assasination, etc., I always have the same question. . .
Do you know how many people would have to be involved to pull off something like that?
January 15th, 2008 at 10:03 pmRecently I have been watching a few TV dramas from the U.S., which I rent from my local video shop. In almost all of them, the main plot or a major minor plot inevitably involves some super secret government agency that runs leaving murder and mayhem in its wake. In more than a few cases the killers in the stories are said to come from the NSA, which seems to be the bogeyman du jour. What a joke.
I think some people watch entirely too much TV.
January 15th, 2008 at 10:03 pmI think in a way people like to think there is a government agency behind everything–that someone has a handle on the world, even if we personally don’t. The idea that everything is just a random, cascading series of events caused by disparate forces interacting with one another can be terrifying!

So is Dexter available yet in Japan? I highly recommend it. Although, now that I think, there is a character who is portrayed as a former special ops in the show. But that’s as close as you’re going to get to any shadowy agency.
January 15th, 2008 at 11:09 pmNever heard of Dexter, RYO, but I will keep an eye out for it.
Thanks for the tip!
January 15th, 2008 at 11:57 pmI think you are absolutely right, Heather.

Well, Ed, with the Writer’s Guild strike on now, there won’t be much TV to watch–aside from reality shows! And, yes, TV has certainly played into the paranoia of the past 6 years.
My vote is for the Rome mini-series. And, of course, there is always the first season of Heroes.
