On the Manchester case, the guy who posted said the event did not happen, I disagreed with him, whatever hit the pentagon, there are supposed to be safeguards so it won't happen, so in either case it was a security service lapse, as for the rest of what you say I believe I agree with it, except that we really don't know what the aim is, it could be to decimate the population through sheer terror and having us turn against each other in panic and leave just a few remaining. Sounds far-fetched? Of course it does, but unfortuantely it falls into the realm of the possible. I'm not saying I believe this is the aim but everything is possible.
