The main reason to monitor what is going on isn't just idle speculation, or just because it is fashionable to be interested in conspiracy theories. Really, it's to try and find out what really is going on and what to expect for the future- the latter being something that it is very hard to see clearly. So, as well as reading the regular news sites, which I suppose I rely on for the facts, I also look around on the net for various interpretations of the facts, including so-called 'conspiracy theory sites', which often quote from the main-stream media but have a very different take on what is going on. For example, I came across this thread speculating about

June 19th.

Apparently, according to The Washington Post, a rather large Federal emergency exercise will take place in the USA on this day, involving as many as 4,000 government employees from various branches of the government. They'll be moving to a classified network of underground bunkers and shelters, in simulation of a large-scale attack, far larger than on September 11th. In fact, it's the largest such exercise ever conducted in history, made a lot easier with portable technologies such as PDAs and Blackberries to facilitate communication. See here for more on this.

Now of course, this could just be an exercise, but it needs to be remembered that at 8:30 in the morning of September 11th there was a NORAD exercise to prepare for... guess what... hijacked planes crashing into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. This exercise really did happen, just on that time and was likewise reported of in The Washington Post. Similarly, with the London Bombings a simulation of bombs simultaneously going off, in exactly the same times and places as in the real world, was being held on the same day- in fact a morning TV interview with Peter Powers, the man from the consultancy agency in charge of it, was interrupted by the real-life events. Whilst some may see this as a coincidence, others see it as part of a 'smoke-screen' to hide official involvement in the real events.

As for myself, well I have to say that there may well be exercises used as a way of covering up real events, to scare the population into agreeing to things that otherwise there is no way they'd even think of accepting. But bearing in mind how many drills there are and in this case the very obviousness of this one, I don't think we can use them as a reliable predictor. If there really is a secretive movement to make a 'world government' or at least apply more dictatorial powers in certain regions, powers that sadistic minds would desire simply because they are sick and enjoy such things (and perhaps can make more profits in the situation, too), then they are more likely to use these events to cover their tracks towards this. To coincide with Bilderberg meetings, G8 forums, legislation granting illegitimate powers, and discredit the opposition to them by keeping terrorism on the agenda and confusing democratic skepticism with it. So that 'if you're not with us, you're with the terrorists' could be twisted into saying 'if you object to the police state and the monopolies it protects you're in sympathy with terrorists'. I really could see something like this as being their objective.

But even if it is, they are wasting their time. If we know one thing, it's that sooner or later the truth comes out and that those in variance with it will be exposed and ridiculed. Even more so, sinful and deceptive behaviour produces nothing good for anyone- any profits gained thereby are illusory and joyless. God simply doesn't reward such behaviour and only His rewards count. So give it up, conspirators. I have the high ground- you simply can't win!
