surfsteve: Working backwards, first I disagree about media control. Both the news media and the government are controlled by corporate interests. The two parties are now used to control the range of ideas tolerated in public discourse (aka, the Overton Window). Secondly, I like the idea about advance agreement regarding the bombing of empty buildings. That seems highly likely. Our news media reported that they were chemical weapons labs, but that seems unlikely since there should have been chemical weapons released as a result of the bombing if such were the case. Thirdly, I could see Trump knowing that the chemical attack was fake, but wasting millions on missiles used to hit sham targets as a way to appease various audiences. What I don't get is WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF ALL THIS BULLSHIT?
