9/11 Conspiracy Theorists?

Question

I can't understand why so many people now consider it true that the attcks on 9/11 were planned by the government, as stated in the popular "Loose Change" video. I found out that 1/3 of Americans age 18-34 believe this conspiracy theory. How can anyone be so ignorant and stupid to believe this ?? And please,,,if any of you conspiracy theorists are reading this, then try to convince me....because all your facts seem BS.

Answer 1

I've seen loose change and I'm still not convinced of a conspiracy and here's why. While the video brought up some interesting points I couldn't help but notice all of the people that would be needed accomplish a cover up like 9/11. From the FAA, the FBI, the CIA, the airlines, the military, the crash investigators at the flt 93 site, the air traffic controllers where flt 93 "landed safely", the people on 93 that "safely landed".......you see were I'm going with this? All of those people that I listed were mentioned in the loose change video. And that wasn't even half of them. In my mind that's just too many people involved to keep something this big quiet for this long. We're not talking about a few people that worked on a crashed "UFO" or something like that. We're talking about covering up the deaths of thousands of people on 9/11 and thousands more in the war after.

Most conspiracy theorists use "eye witness" accounts to back up their claims but everyone knows that's BS. Monday CNN.com replayed the original 9/11 coverage in real time. After the 2nd plane hit the tower they had eye witness caller say they saw a missile hit the tower. The reporter who was handling the call said "no it was a plane, we have it on video." CNN also reported that a car bomb went off in front of the state department building and the mall in front of the capital building was on fire. Both of those events we know didn't happen.

While conspiracy theorist, including loose change, bring up some good points, I have yet to see any solid evidence supporting a cover up.

Answer 2

It was a securities fraud cover-up dating back to the collapse of the Soviet Union, masterminded by G.H.W. Bush with the backing of various elite financial and intelligence cabals of the world. You'll never prove it or hear about because it's the big boys who really run the world. Rothschild, Windsor, Rockefeller. These families say jump, and George H.W. Bush says, "How high?"

Answer 3

The Bush Administration has made 9/11 into a kind of mantra to justify anything it does. Then it fights an investigation tooth and nail and the President refuses to testify under oath and when questions are asked it refuses to answer.

Do I believe 9/11 was staged? No. That video of Bush sitting on his *** for seven minutes with a blank stare on his face shows he didn't know what the hell was going on. But constantly bringing up 9/11 and then refusing to release info about it is fertile ground for people to try and connect the dots themselves.

Answer 4

I dunno - how can 43% of the America poopulation still beleive that Hussien had connections with Al Queda when this has been admitted to have been false information by the President himself? There is ZERO connection between the two, yet Americans still beleive it. Fact is, the Americans funded and trained bin Laden in the 70's to fight Russia in Afganistan....

Just seems weird that we can find Saddam in a hole in the ground, but cant find bin Laden in a cave. Seems strange that, on the day in question, many people were initally filmed screaming "those arent american passenger jets!" and firefighters yelling "that was a controlled demolition!" - yet all of that footage seems to have gone missing, and the only copies available are those that people obtained while recording the initial reports.... (See "9/11: In Plane View") Seems strange that the fires burned at the WTC for weeks, yet at the Pentagon, they were out within minutes, and no visible plane wreckage was seen in ANY of the photos. Not to mention that the size of the plane, when superimposed over the Pentagon, would mean that the plane had to hit it basically while driving on the ground - not while flying, because the roof was still intact in the very first photos....how does a plane falling out of the sky hit the side of a seven story building without taking out the roof??? Doesnt it seem strange that the Bush's were meeting with the bin Laden family on the day of the attacks, and that this was the only plane in the skies after the attack? Would you allow the family of a homegrown terrorist to flee the country? then why was the bin Laden family allowed to flee?

Get back to me on those points, and Ill stop thinking there is a conspiracy....

Answer 5

"Popular Mechanics" ran an article, and published a book, rebutting the most popular conspiracy theories. And several magazines, like "Time", also ran articles rebutting some common theories.

Some people seem to like to buy into almost all conspiracy theories that they hear about, irregardless of what they are about, because it is in their nature to be paranoid.

I believe that other people believe in conspiracy theories about 9/11 because they have a hard time believing that a "good Muslim" like Osama ben Laden would do something so horrible. Pretending that Osama had nothing to do with 9/11 allows then to continue admire Laden for the good things that he has done (like funding orphanages), while blinding themselves from the obviously horrible parts of his personality.

Answer 6

Have you ever read a conspiracy web-site? A really well written one like Dr. Days site? I have to tell you, if you have any kind of open mind, some of the theory's people come up with can be pretty believable. Of course none of us want to believe our president is capable of such Hannis acts, I certainly don't want to believe the man I helped to elect is a greedy trader, but we'll never know...just like we'll never really know who killed JFK, or if Neil Armstrong really saw alien Space craft on the moon or what Ronald Regan really said in his last 3 years of life when he was tucked far away from the public eye with Alzheimer's. If they don't want you to know something, you won't...period. So don't underestimate our government, or any Men in Black for that matter. Big brother IS watching you.

I think this really comes down to donkeys vs. elephants. Check those stats again, I bet that the majority of the people that beleive the theory are Democrats and the ones that think its BS are Bush loving republicans. Ultimatly, it comes down to this. I chose to not get too invloved in the politics, but I do beleive that our government DOES have the power to do something like this, then cover it up and make it seem like it was someone else. If you believe that we are one of the most powerful countries in the world, then you can beleive that we have the power to do something like this. It is not as far fetched as some of you seem to think.

Answer 8

People who believe those 9/11 conspiracy theories are all very gullible and ignorant.
It's very scary that some can believe anything.
Most probably never get out of the house.
They need to get a job and not think so much.

Answer 9

Yeah. Bush made me late for work this morning because he caused my curling iron to break. Yesterday he caused my son to fail his spelling test at school and my daughters car to break down. He needs to go. Geez, people are so gullible!! Anyone who thinks our government caused the events of 9/11 to happen are idiots! What about the assertions by the libs that the government blew up the dykes during hurricane Katrina or trying to say that the OK bombing was a government cover up too. I guess Bush killed Kennedy, faked the death of Elvis and is living it up with creatures from other planets out in Area 51 too! Get a life!!

Answer 10

There is no believing, nor any answers. There are only questions. Whether or not the government had anything to do with it. . . . who knows! Whether or not the American haters did it or not. . . .who knows! What we know is that, a lot of people died, a lot of people are grieving, a lot of money was lost, and two huge buildings were destroyed. Who cares who did it or why? Spend more time on becoming a better person. . . . or better yet, why don't we ALL spend more time on becoming BETTER AMERICANS and LEARN TO PRAY MORE.
