The problem is the existence of the humungous centralized Federal government with its Central Bank and its spying apparatus. Politicians and The Money that buys them created the problem. They're certainly not going to fix it. The way t

I'd think that Apple would be happy to tell us it was a simple power/network failure were that the case. Sudden shutdown of vital service + silence = most likely a security prob. I'm not saying that's what it is but it s

Power, network, etc. have redundancy. Security breach is a show stopper.

I've made my point. That's why all you appear have left is ad hominem and conflation. You're more than welcome to believe the Official Fables of the 9/11 Myth Cycle. Knock yourself out.

Longtime dissenters and critics of the government have been vindicated as of late. Please recall that the "tinfoil" has melted because of the recent USG/NSA conspiracy. You need to drop the term "tinfoil hat" as it

So do you believe the official fable about 9/11? If you do, what do you find compelling about the narrative? If you don't, then I applaud your critical thinking.
