The group present are largely anti-war, and against the US foreign policies, discussing America in terms of it becoming an Empire, suggesting shady Government dealings and political agendas hidden from public view. The speakers are very knowledgeable with specific areas of interest and expertise, and do enter a degree of debate on some issues, providing examples of questionable US Government actions where able.
A representative to defend US foreign policy was invited to join the discussion, but the US Embassy declined and sent a statement reiterating points President George Bush stated in 2003 regarding America's aims to bering democracy to the world. The presenter does read this statement out and remarks that they were invited to speak in their defence.
The conclusion of the discussion, after raising many interesting and troubling issues about the actions of the US government and army, seems to be a desire to raise awareness of these type of issues and to get more people involved in politics and making the need for accountability more evident.
The programme is made by Commonwealth FM in Bristol, a community station encouraging people to get involved.

As for predicting the crash, plenty of people were doing that well before 2004. Before 2001, in fact. It didn't need a genius or sophisticated analysis. It would be impressive if someone had predicted the timing, other than by a lucky guess.
Is the heading to this post supposed to lend credence to the flimsy glued-together fantasies of the 9/11 conspiracy nuts? I suppose they'll claim it's "evidence" of something, probably their own alleged perspicacity.

Like who?
The Truth Movement and the 911 movement have been accurate in predicting this major, financial crash. Webster Tarpley is just one notable figure.
Has there been anyone on the Left who have predicted this? If so, name them.

Seeing as the USA is massively in debt and owing more and more money each year, it was only a matter of time before the shit would hit the fan. You can't run your economy like a pyramid scheme scam indefinitely.
We certainly have "interesting times" ahead!

I suspect the article above wasn't posted here by Tony Gosling -- he tends to post using his own name, and the title of the article is clearly designed to make people questioning the "official story" of 9/11 look like idiots...
It's all part of the information war...
