Immortal Technique - Question about Lyrics

My buddy and I are at work listening to Immortal Technique, specificaly the song Cause of Death. He spits a lyric that says:

And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
About the bombs planted on the George Washington bridge
Four Non-Arabs arrested during the emergency
And then it disappeared from the news permanently


I know there are some conspiracy theorist on here so I wanted to know if anyone has some background info, real or your thoughts?

immortal technique is big on black rights and sometimes racist towards whites

so i think their expressing some kinda of anger about the attack, i dono thats my guess




Yea. I said it.

after doing a quick google search, i didnt find anything about Non arabs, but there were a few things about bombs on the bridge. also was this which i found to be... interesting...

OSAMA BIN LADEN CLAIMS HE'S BEING FRAMED

"I have already said that I am not involved in the September 11 attacks in the United States. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children, and other humans as an appreciable act. There exists a government within the government of the United States. That secret government must be asked as to who carried out the attacks.... The United States should trace the perpetrators of these attacks to those persons who want to make the present century a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own nation could survive. "

- Osama Bin Laden (Source: BBC)

i agree with immortal technique on alot of shit...he knows his shit really well. like when he said in a song about there being bombs in the world trade centers then exploding when the planes hit as a diversion....turns out it could be true. they did a thing on it on the discovery channel. hes smart

^yeah dude..Immortal technique kicks ass.

that he is saying in the song is that you didnt hear much about it in the news beause the person wasnt an arab. He is saying that the government wants to keep andy NONarab terrorist stuff on the downlow, so that people dont look poorly on American culture. By not telling about this, and highlighting arab terrorist activity, the arabs look liek the bad guys and their culture is immediately frowned upon by america and other countries. this also relates back to The war in Iraq and Bush going in there for oil. they want to keep the american public thinking that arabs are bad, so that the war is justified. if the majority of the american culture thought that middle eastern people were good, then we would be in venezuela or tearing apart Alaska more than we are.
The whole point of those lyrics is to show you how uptight America is about their image and how we need to keep a good image in order to maintain control over most of the world.
because if the worlds countries realized what an asshole america is, then there would be a world war, but it woulb be america vs. the world.

do you know what program that was in? id be very intrested in seeing it.

Also, after doing some google work, it seems that a white van full of explosives was apprehended on or on its way to the bridge, there were people arrested, all of them acording to various websites were arabs, and instead of being held as terrorists and put to trial, they were just deported and let free.

immortal went to college for political science stuff so he know what he is talking about for sure. ive also been wondering about that qoute for some time. i dont think he is really racist, more classist. he has a song, im pretty sure its on volume 1, where he says he has more in common with the average white man than most upperclass black or hispanic people and that he isnt going to vote for a black president simply because he is black. i cant think of the title of the song right now, but the song where he tells the story of when he fell in love with the girl is really good and you can tell he means every word he says.

Immortal Technique has crazy lyircs, Dance with the Devil is one of the craziest and most messed up songs I've ever heard, but its amazing how he gets it all to rhyme and flow while telling a story at the same time.

Immortal Technique is hands down one of the most influencial rappers out there, he has the best songs and ryhmes..

Alot of rappers today are not just black, im surprised though that jedi is latino (except for vinnie paz) u guys should all join the underground_hiphop cult

what wrong with communism. the only reason you think its bad is because of the american government and how oppsed it is to russian communism...its a good idea, but it didnt work out.

ithink america is just jealous that they didnt think of it first. instead they have an aerostocracy(sp)-thats rule by money for all you people who dont knwo shit. we run the while country around how much money everyone has. because of this the gap between rich and poor is growing and middle class is slowly becoming lower class, where upper class stereotypes them, and makes more money, and pushes the lower class lower.

The only reason it doesnt work is because people are greedy. I have heard of small communist communities that work fine because they arent greedy, but countries have soo many people that there is at LEAST 100 greedy people who want to be at the top of the government. It really hurts everyone when people are greedy, except for that one person.
