"Seems most people who do this kind of thing then put themselves in as dictator for life."
Or how about their cronies, fellow skull&bones members.
Looks like Skull and Bones hasn't needed much help from such machinations to get their people into positions of power in the past:

Just stroll through that list for a moment. You'll find Cabinet members, Supreme Court justices, Governors, and (obviously) Presidents of the country.
or for that matter, did you know that the groundwork has already been laid in the form of executive orders that enable Bush to declare Martial law and take control of ALL of the media, transportation, (etc...) of the U.S.A. and parts of said executive order are classified.
Care to provide a link backing this up?
BTW: on the subject of 9/11 ... I keep getting links thrown my way as if to say,
"my experts are better than your experts" HOWEVER, just straight from the gut,
WHAT do YOU think of the events of 9/11/2001? doesn't anything about that day strike you as just a bit suspicious?
This is the problem with the conspiracy theory crowd. For them, it's about forming an opinion and then looking for evidence to back it up; for the more scientific crowd, it's about examining the evidence and coming to a conclusion.
And anyway, you want my "from the gut" feeling on 9/11? I think it's a helluva lot more likely that America became complacent in all the wrong ways leading up to 9/11, much in the way major empires like Rome and Britain did in their twilight years, than it is likely that a President that has consistently demonstrated a disregard for history (gee, let's send an army primarily consisting of white English-speaking Christian Westerners to a place that's still bitter over the Crusades and Britain's treacherous violation of the Hussein-McMahon agreement in World War I) was actually able to protect us from the historical shortsightedness of a slightly aged, complacent empire while perpetrating his own major fraud on a scale heretofore unseen in world history. After all, if it was indeed George Bush who was behind 9/11 (and there were no hijackers and all that trite), then it was
not a group of militant Islamic terrorists, and America was at the time relatively safe from outside forces.
Personally I think its VERY suspicious that a total of 4 hijackings went off like clockwork and even to the extent of hijackers getting to replace the pilot and fly the aircraft.
They hit 75% of their targets and managed to evade the defenses of the Worlds Greatest Military Power and strike the HQ of said military power.
These hijackers had the single greatest ally there is: simplicity. The more complex the plan, the more chances it has to fail; therefore, a simple plan is easier to carry out. And they had a simple plan, that just happened to exploit a number of well-thought-out weaknesses in our security, including:
1. Lax airport security checks
2. Lax security on planes themselves
3. A lack of active defense of buildings in the capital against civilian aircraft being used as suicide dive-bombers without prior warning of hijacking threats
Without those three weaknesses, 9/11 would not have been possible. While the first two have been addressed since 9/11, I doubt the last has been; after all, it would have been mere seconds between when the plane showed up on Washington's monitoring stations and when they realized there was a problem with it, and mere seconds again between realizing it wasn't where it was supposed to be and realizing it was a threat. By then it would have been too late to do anything about it.
How did Islamic terrorists attack our capital undefended? They figured out how, that's all. They didn't muscle in; they were clever and they were lucky.
That's just "from the gut."
If you where watching a TV "drama" and it unfolded like the "official" explanation of what happened that day, people would be asking "who writes this crap ?! ...."
I major in creative writing. One of the first things they taught us was that fiction must be believable; reality knows no such bounds.
