    I’ve taken this for granted since the beginning… It seems incredibly suspect that such a powerful intelligence apparatus could not have known about such a wide spread attack.

      Egypt warned them months ahead.

        US intelligence confirmed within a week that Egypt had warned them repeatedly, and again a few days before the attack. So even if they missed it themselves(which is highly unlikely), they at a very minimum ignored the warnings.

        And when the PM quickly called that “fake news”, it should have been a pretty strong indication for most people.

      Yeah i remember listening to a podcast about it.

      No hard, direct evidence but overwhelming circumstantial

    Pearl Harbor, 9/11… for anyone outside of America/the West these people work in very predictable ways. It works too, so why not?

    I will go one step further. Most wars are started with a false flag operation.

    This is my conspiracy theory with no evidence- 9/11, this thing, Pearl Harbor were all inside jobs. It is not that far fetched to think that governments would kill their own people to justify a war because they kill their soldiers anyways.

    short note that presstv.ir is an iranian-run newspaper, so let’s better wait for confirmation from the UN or somebody less biased in this affair. still very interesting news though, and definitely imaginable.
