I've never yet met a conspiracy theorist who could be persuaded by logic. That's why they drive me crazy!

My personnel opinion is that every theory has to be considered.
A lot of them are probably bullshit but a select few may hold some truth. For the people disregarding all these theories, ask yourself if you even objectively considered the presented 'proof'. If not then ask yourself if you are afraid of the conclusion you might make. |

Most conspiracy theories sound paranoid and nutty. But then again, if in 1935 someone said they were worried Germany would start collecting Jewish and other "undesirable" types like homosexuals, and sending them off to death camps, and then it would also happen in Poland, Italy and France, I would have thought that sounded paranoid and nutty too. It is like the old adage - Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you.
Most are just as hard to prove incorrect as they are to prove correct. Who ever really knows? |

Don't ask me, I'm not inventing the theory. In this thread someone claimed that NORAD was down. I've also heard stories about planting explosives in the towers, missiles launched into the pentagon, Flight 93 was shot down etc. All of these of course add to the numbers needed to pull it off. 35 people could (and likely did) pull off an operation like that (including the 19 hijackers), but I think you are seriously underestimating the amount of people that would be in on it if it were the government.
You can say apparently it's not required all you want, but that's not the way government works. It's just not realistic. By competence, I'm referring to the ability to keep a secret, and plant all the evidence pointing to a small group of Al Queda hijackers, not the actual jacking and crashing. Possible? Barely. Plausible? Not even slightly.
Now here we go. The military industrial complex and support of the petrodollar was behind it. That's about 35 people isn't it?
There are more than right winged hack sites on the internet. Alphabet news is dead.
Why doesn't he come forward? Oh afraid of the ridicule, that's right. A lone voice of righteousness in the wilderness, I'm sure. Most of those people are referring to the administration's misuse of intelligence information that could have prevented the attacks. THAT IS A MUCH MORE LIKELY THEORY. i.e. Senior Administration Officials knew of the attacks and did nothing. Much more likely than them orchestrating the whole thing. The rest are opinions of people retired or not involved with government anymore. Why do I give a fuck if some dude has flown 100 combat missions? Doesn't make his opinion anymore credible. I want credible evidence.
Of course! They're in on it too! |

The US is bankrupt? Not if you listen to the "progressives" and Neo-kenyesians.
Left winged hack sites?
He had a nice job working for Raytheon while in retirement, public statements like that jeopardize security clearances. You know, that backdoor from the military to the MIC does exist.
In on what? Getting paid money to read a different script than the one handed to the alphabet soup talking heads? You don't have to be knowledgeable of the (overall, anyway) plan to carry it out. It's the same reason you aren't supposed to hold a bag for someone else at the airport. You're blowing it out of proportion. EACH PAWN IS A KING!!OMGZRIDICULUZ!!! |

Ok I give up. It's all shadow agents and government actors acting alone yet controlling massive portions of the military and government. Looking forward to arguing with you in the next thread where you posit the government is totally incapable of completing even the slightest task.

It's always neat that the people who buy into this shit claim that others are "sheeple" and crap like that, yet they always seem to say the same damned things as one another and use the same tired examples (Reichstag etc.), the same regurgitated rhetoric, the same sources, and the same arguments. Basically, they all believe in the same silly theories.
"Free-thinkers" Right. |

Theorist A suspects that Bin Laden's muddy ragtag couldn't have pulled off such an effective breach of US security from the outside. Implicit: that this is to seriously underestimate the means necessary to overcome the functioning of the state. In contrast, Theorist B suspects that a bureaucratic conspiracy couldn't have accomplished such an effective breach of US security from the inside. Explicit: that this is to seriously underestimate the means necessary to overcome the functioning of the government. |

How about we turn this around a bit.
4 planes with their transponders turned off (that alone is a reasonable effort) are able to attack your highest military headquarters, the pentagon. What happens if a true enemy plane without a transponder was to attack. Would the public just say "wasn't that terrible that (insert bad country) attacked the Pentagon and blew it up". Or, would they say, WTF was our military up to when we spend how many billions on it to defend our country from countries like (insert bad country). You see it isn't just the fact that someone was able to do it. It is also the fact that there was no effort whatsoever to stop it. If I am right every aircraft in the US had been ordered to land. The only aircraft in the sky were military or the hijacked planes, yet the military still couldn't find them. It wasn't like they were being tailed by fighters waiting for orders to shot them down, they were flying alone doing whatever they wanted to do. Doesn't that seem a bit surreal to anyone, especially over your capital? |

I actually enjoy inventing conspiracy theories myself more than learning about existing ones. I rarely see the point in believing them one way or another. I mean if you aren't sure then you aren't sure.
For example, when that dude from Kone 2012 or whatever it was called went on that rampage where he was running around naked in the city, I told everybody I thought the government had slipped him a mickey. They did it on account of an initiative to end actual atrocities going on did not jibe well with the corporate-agenda wars the state has going right now. |

Your posts are heavy and hard to crack even if you don't write walls of text. Anyway, the theorists B are backed by the established authority so they have the “popular” and generally accepted version. |

We might suppose that INTelliJent is engaged by his position in this thread because it is a means of critiquing the state. We might suppose that INTJRyan is engaged by his position in this thread because it opposes INTelliJent's position. Whatever the color of the tshirt, though, these arguments and counterarguments are nevertheless shared by apparently large numbers people who hold them for personal reasons differing. They have a cultural quality to them as such and this is notable because the quality appears relatively consistent despite aesthetic disagreement at the personal level. That's what I'm suggesting. |

And then you have people like this, willing to outright LIE and disguise it as fact. It's these outright distortions that make it even more difficult to ascertain the truth.
There were tons of debris recovered. Nothing was "vaporized."

How do you know that the terrorists turned them off?
A bizarre coincidence indeed....
What are the odds the "mock terror" exercises just happened to happen on the same days as the attacks? |

I stated this.The transponders allow the aircraft to be seen and identified on commercial/civil radar. There is still a question whether they could see the radar as discussed above and I quote "But unlike transponder data, primary radar returns do not show the aircraft's identity and altitude." So they still had the aircraft on civilian radar. Why didn't they also have the aircraft of Military radar and if ther did then why was it so hard foir the F15's to find them.
It took a while but not all that relevant.,
So the F15's should be in the air. I thought, and I'm just a dumb aussie, that u guys are meant to have aircraft on the ground ready to be scrambled immediately, not wait 10 minutes for a pilot to finish their coffee.
9 minutes (8.46) to find some aircraft but the military still doesn't know where they are, and you don't see this as an issue of national security. Apart from military aircraft how many planes are flying without transponders?
This was also 60 minutes before the pentagon was hit, but 60 minutes isn't enough tp protect the pentagon? or even the white house?
Being unprepared isn't really an acceptable excuse, is it? Are you telling me that if enemy aircraft got to America while your civilian and commercial aircraft were still in the air that your military defenses would be unable to deal with the situation? Or is it just that the hijack planes flew too slowly to be identified? |

YAWN. In short, the building was severely damaged, totally on fire, and unstable; it was no "anomaly". Pull it means get the rescue crews out of the area. |

The high level of orderliness of the collapse indicates that it was not a random event.
So the "single column" explanation, plainly, is garbage, which is why over 1,600 architects and engineers support the work of
The destruction of WTC-7 was what made me finally look at what happened that day and examine the official explanation for the first time. I am embarrassed only that it took me several years before I actually started to think critically about what politicians and the media had been saying about it. |

I take the lack of response to my post about the almost non-response of the Airforce as confirmation that it was simply undefendable. |

You're not positing some novel theory. That was the exact conclusion of the 9/11 report: every defense mechanism the US had was completely unprepared to face a threat like the one on 9/11, so I don't need to address it. What I was addressing was your insinuation that there was more to this than mere incompetence. Several agencies didn't even follow their own protocols, particularly the Boston ATCs who did not catch on that something was amiss when the plane did not respond to ATC command to increase elevation.
Gotta love truthers, speaking like they are demolition experts and in black and white terms.
Congrats on being a dupe. Enjoy it. |
