And all those are reactionary and opportunistic events. No one planned for a football star to enlist, go to a remote place and get killed. But when it happened few tried to cover their asses or derive some value from the vent. Similarly, Jessica Lynch was not hijacked by TPTB’s agents in order to provide media with two days worth of noise. [/quote]
How about the Gulf of Tonkin or the CIA overthrow Iran 1953? Or more recently, the 2002 attempted coup of Chavez. Global dominance(which as been the USs role since 1945) and geo-strategic planning necessitates conspiring. And at least some level of long-term planning. It also requires public acquiescence. A ME reconfiguration and new level of global militarization was in the works in the 90s. See: PNAC Rebuilding Americas Defenses which it was foreseen that a psychological pretext such as a “New Pearl Harbor” would be necessary to implement their plan. See also;
“Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multicultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat.”
— “The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives,” by Zbigniew Brzezinski (1997)Brezinski pretty much laid out the need to control the ME and Central Asia to maintain global dominance as well as the mass psychological conditioning needed.
Interestingly, Philip Zelikow, a long time policy guy and member of the Bush administration wrote some interesting papers on the importance of “shaping” public perception back in the 90s.
Zelikow noted in his own words, that “contemporary” history is “defined functionally by those critical people and events that go into forming the public’s presumptions about its immediate past. The idea of ‘public presumption’,” he explained, “is akin to William McNeill’s notion of ‘public myth’. Such presumptions are beliefs (1) thought to be true (although not necessarily known to be true with certainty), and (2) shared in common within the relevant political community.”[15]”
In writing about the importance of beliefs about history, Zelikow has called attention to what he has called “‘searing’ or ‘molding’ events [that] take on ‘transcendent’ importance and, therefore, retain their power even as the experiencing generation passes from the scene
So, I would say that conspiring is a systemic tendency. And public perception molding and mass psychology is well understood in the halls of power. Kind of, ever-present conspiring, rather than one big over-arching conspiracy. With what William McNeill’s calls The Care and Repair of Public Myth. It’s seen as necessary for a functional society – which there is an element of truth to that.
If you take a scholarly look at “terrorism” not a propagandist view. It’s pretty well understood that occupations and political meddling fuel it. The CIA calls this “blow back”. So, in a sense “The war on terror” fuels it’s own self-perpetuating justifications.
