SEPT 11 - Will the conspiracy theorists come out of their laughably paranoid holes more than usual?

Question

Today marks the date of the worst terrorist attack in history.

Apparently, it was all orchestrated by George Bush to manufacture a reason to steal oil - or something along those lines.
To listen to that drivel has gone from vaguely amusing, to distracting to downright scary.
There are people in this country so determined to find a reason to hate Bush and his government, that there are actually websites that have sprung up, detailing 'proof' of this paranoid fantasy.
I can 'prove' fairies exist on Mars if you like.

What's worse is that there are actually professional scholars, people who should know better, and some of whom who are teaching children, that all this is fact and should be taken seriously.
That is irresponsible, cynical and should not be allowed - parents are paying for their kids to be educated, not intoctrinated with political equivalents of the Tooth Fairy.

To those of us living in reality, let's remember this terrible day the way it actually happened.

David W - Those Oliver Stone flicks have destroyed you.
R.I.P.

Colorado - I agree with you about the dimwits that recite "we have to keep an open mind" over and over. They're the ones that give the other morons propogating this absolute nonsense the fuel to continue these potentially harmful paranoid delusions.
I'm all for keeping an open mind. About matters based in reality.

Answer 1

Elvis is alive, there are aliens in Roswell, the holocaust never happened, and 9/11 was a Jewish plot. You know I can deal with these nuts better than I can with the ones that say we need to keep an open mind, for those are the ones with a truly empty mind. The others are just self-hating morons.

Answer 2

Good job. It amazes me how gullible the conspiracy theorists are.
For example, many of them believe that seven of the hijackers are actually alive and well. It's too bad the article that stated this was retracted because it WASN'T true.
The WTC did not fall from fire alone. They also collapsed due to the integrity of the building being weakened by a plane crashing into it at several hundred miles per hour. I guess it also didn't help that the plane weighed a couple tons, multiplied by the velocity at which it was flying...we're talking about a weight of at LEAST 800,000 pounds, and that's only if the plane only weighed two tons, and the speed was just at 200 MPH. That's nothing to be laughed at.
Then they talk about the "explosions" heard when the towers fell. What do they expect a 110 story building collapsing to sound like, Vivaldi's Four Seasons? Of COURSE when each floor fell on the next it was going to sound like an explosion. We're talking about a building over a thousand feet high collapsing in about ten seconds. It was going pretty fast.
Stupid people.

We won't forget 9/11, the new "day of infamy." The day that nineteen hijackers killed 3000 people. I hope the bastards who did this are burning in Hell!

Answer 3

I'm so sick of these idiotic 9/11 conspiracy theories. The buildings collapsed because some savages crashed airplanes, loaded with fuel, into the two towers. I saw the hole in the north side of the North Tower from my Midtown office. Anyone who has done the slightest bit of research knows how the Twin Towers were uniquely constructed. The structures' support was from the frame of the buildings, thereby creating more space on the floors which would otherwise have been cluttered with support beams. Unfortunately, the interior structures could not support the burden caused by the compromised frames as a result of the crashed planes, so the towers collapsed. 9/11 happened because of failed US foreign policy, bureaucratic ineptitude, and arrogance ("it can't happen here"). I hold the Clinton and Bush administrations (and prior administrations) equally responsible. I oppose the war in Iraq and the Bush administration. But these conspiracy theories are absurd. 9/11 conspiracy people: Please dispense with these useless, dopey, and hurtful allegations and move onto something productive. (I'd love to see these conspiracy people spout their outrageous assertions in any New York City firehouse or police station!)

Answer 4

Americans don't understand their own denial

I expect the hysterical cries of "The Muslims are coming! The Muslims are coming!" Have you learned nothing about the world? Can you not see the obvious manipulations of the U.S.-U.K. intelligence community in these bogus "terror alerts"?

Gee, whadda ya know, it's time for a midterm election and George Bush has a 30% approval rating --- and here come the Muslim hordes because they "hate our freedoms"!

Grow up. The American government spends over $500 billion a year on defense, over $60 billion a year on intelligence. That's more than the rest of the world combined. That sound you hear is not a billion Muslims strapping bombs to their chests. That sound you hear is the American military-intelligence complex prodding the stupid citizens who pay for it. They've got plans for martial law in America, and you people are prattling on about Islamofascism.

The first 9/11 was an inside job. The next one -- probably in the next two months, just in time for the elections -- will also be made in America. Open your eyes and see the real enemy.

Answer 5

The liberal, Democratic, Socialist propaganda machine is so effective at warping young minds, that with all of this "Conspiracy hinting" done on their websites, all of these mush-heads will automatically assume that any terror attack on the US in the future will be an inside job. Well, as long as theres a Republican in office at least. Today terrorists attacked our Syrian embassy... did the Republicans mastermind that to get votes? What happens if (God forbid) a bomb destroys the Empire State Building while a Democrat is president? Will the Democrats blame it on Bush? Will they say "he didn't do enough to stop terrorism!" And more importantly, will they see the incredible, morbid, perverse hypocrisy in that statement? Will the blogs be alive with posts titled "Democrats plan NYC bomb to bolster defense spending"? I doubt it, because the paranoia machine operated by the Liberal, Democrat, Socialists only has one setting: "Destroy Republicans".

Answer 6

Well, it pays to have an open-mind. Things are always not what it seems. But, you have a point. This day should be also a time to remember those who were there and sacrificed their own lives for reasons that we cannot yet define...

Answer 7

I'm also sick of conspiracy theorists. There is no sinister reason that our President was aware of a terror threat and did not stop it. He was just incompotent. It is a logical consistency that follows every action of this administration. There's no need to look for some magic bullet. We should remember this day with campaigning for the next group of incompotent jackhats because it's much easier than learning from our mistakes.

Answer 8

Why you believe what you believe

Experts on the human mind say that humans are convinced to believe things for four principal reasons:

1. You tend to believe most strongly that which you hear first.

2. If you change, it will most likely be to that which you hear repeated many times.

3. You next tend to believe that which you want to believe or that which fits your already conceived ideas or notions.

4. Lastly, humans are least likely to believe that which is logical and makes sense, especially if it contradicts what they hear most!

Interesting, isn’t it? Since the truth serves no one’s purpose and is seldom repeated, most people are left believing only that which serves someone’s purpose. By definition, that means they are left believing a lie. Unless you understand this and guard against it, you will be endlessly confused for most of your life.

And just to keep you happy, hear for your entertainment is

The biggest conspiracy theory of them all


The biggest conspiracy theory is that 19 Arabs, who had been under surveillance, conspired together, walked onto four commercial aircraft without being detected, and without having their names appear on a passenger list. Then that they could overcome over 250 people with plastic box-cutters. And not only that, but with no previous experience of flying large jets, they could navigate from 30,000 feet and hit three out of four targets precisely, meantime conducting flying manoeuvres that fighter pilots would find difficult. Then, the amazing thing is that 7 of them survived the events and are known to be alive today.
Also for the first time ever in history, three, not two, but three steel framed buildings collapsed as a result of fire which could not possibly have burned hot enough to melt steel, and caused the buildings not to topple over, as one might expect, or to fall a little at a time, but to fall within their own footprint at the speed of gravity. And one of those buildings (WTC7) was not even hit by a plane.
Not only that, but the four aircraft disappeared completely without a trace of their 16 large engines, or any of the black boxes. This has also never before happened in history.


This theory is so amazingly full of holes that it is impossible for any sane thinking person to believe, yet that is what the official 9/11 commission report.says.


"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false."
-- William Casey, CIA Director (from first staff meeting, 1981)

Answer 9

I don't know...if we have people like professional scholars saying something is up, maybe they're on to something. Note that none of them are saying that fairies exist on Mars.

Keeping an open mind, as long as what you do not immediately dismiss doesn't conflict with your currently held opinions, is not keeping an open mind. In fact, it's counterproductive to ANYONE having an open mind, especially if you keep overreacting with such hostility to things you clearly have just dimissed out of hand.

Answer 10

Living human kiind were at loss when little children exposed how they can no longer outsmart living human kind on planet earth over look at their misery on planet earth.
The dirty old men in office should look at the blunders and slip-ups with human errors created after independence on planet earth.
