Five Reasons To Deny 911 Was An Inside Job

1.Comfort.
Comfortable people do not dissent. They rarely question authority, unless overwhelmed by fleeting pangs of conscience or momentary madness. Why would any self-satisfied comfortable person want to discomfort themselves? The whole purpose of a comfortable person is to acquire more comfort or to ensure a perpetual state of comfort. Why would comfortable people, contented with their place in the world--
a comfortable home, a well-paid job, respect within their community--
want to upset that equilibrium? Why would any comfortable person question his government about circumstances he cannot control? Why risk discomfort, disapproval, suspension from work and community scorn simply to question something like 911 that cannot be changed? To a comfortable person, that makes no sense at all.
2. Complacency.
Complacent people rarely make waves, create dissension, cause an uproar. They prefer not to talk about politics and religion, nor to do any independent thinking. Because a complacent mind is a safe mind. Complacent people prefer "to get along to go along," to swim with the tide, to run with the herd, to blow with the wind. They like to mind their own business which, on the face of it, seems like common sense and the safe thing to do. Because to get passionately involved in any cause or belief
(aside from sports)
would require a lapse of complacency. Complacency, unlike comfort, requires a more practiced inertia. To accept the state or the status quo, with mild complaint--
but only the mildest, acceptable complaint--and plod along like herd animals. To dare question the state, or debate popular consensus, is not only foolish and insane but borderline treasonable to the complacent citizen.
3. Cowardice
Cowardice is the most understandable of denials of 911. It is convenient to deny 911 out of fear, because to do otherwise, to look at the evidence presented by the most powerful empire in the world, requires a heretical leap of independent thought. A mental insurrection worthy of revolutionaries, pioneers, patriots and outraged citizens. But cowards cannot sift the evidence and arrive at an independent conclusion. They have been beaten and cowed and, at most, can only cringe and howl in derision from the rear. At every original thought or contrary opinion
(contrary to the state and the corporate media that is),
they howl and scurry away, anonymously. At best, their children may lead them, by example, into a braver realm of thought.
4. Conviction
Conviction--to be convinced of one's rightness---
and the courage to assert it, is admirable even if one is proven wrong eventually. A great many believers
(in the official story)
are as convinced of the Kean Commission version of 911, as we skeptics are of their error. These believers claim, with many, many intelligent professionals to back up their claims, that steel does weaken and melt from fuel fires and big buildings do indeed collapse, that falling concrete does indeed pulverize into micro-sized dust particles, that incompetence does not necessary indicate evil.
We truthers, in turn, claim the mass of incriminating evidence overwhelms the experts and trumps their testimony. So who is more right? Time will tell. But the only way we will ever convince these true believers
(our co-workers, friends and family)
of the falsity in the official, government version of 911 is to show them what a lying, poisonous, murderous, mercenary, fear-mongering, war-mongering, fascistic group they have put their faith in. And every day more and more disgruntled citizens are becoming convinced we may have a point.
5. Collusion
A secret activity undertaken by two or more people for the purpose of FRAUD.
The definition of collusion. The US media colludes every day. They collude with the White House or Pentagon or State Department to perpetrate some fraud or other. And many of us collude right along with them. The smallest group of 911 deniers, numbering several million, which I call the Colluders, includes many who have worked for the US government, still work for the US government, receive huge chunks of money from that government to fund their work, depend on contracts from the US government and, more often than not, support the official US government line. Many of them, working high in the US government--NSA, FBI, CIA, Pentagon officials---
know exactly what happened on 911 but keep quiet. Colluding all the way to the bank. Privately they may not agree with many aspects of the official version but, publicly, they will NOT utter a single statement, will NOT go on record, publicly, with a single dissenting word. Not while there is money to be made. And so, of all the 911 deniers, they are most complicit with the crime.
Comfort. Complacency. Cowardice. Conviction. Collusion. And sometimes a combination of all of them.
Footnote: A tip of the cap to those activists at 911Blogger.com Not only do I read the columns posted there but the remarks (an addiction) and sneers from the trolls. This column is dedicated to the 911 activists everywhere, in recognition of the five types of people you run up against every day--and I mean against.

Answer 2

Well, technically.... the authentic tale used to be a conspiracy idea. The occasion used to be conspired it doesn't matter what. BUT, the govt.'s THEORY is that Al-Qeada did it. It's just a idea considering even the FBI claims to not have adequate proof to make a conviction. I surprise how they built this idea (which used to be introduced on nine/12/01) with out the advantage of an research. In truth, the authentic research did not even BEGIN till eleven/02; AFTER the complete crime scene used to be wiped clean up and shipped off in a ship to China. Can you think? When used to be the final time any authentic company wiped clean up the crime scene previous to their research? AND observed a responsible get together the day after the crime? IF this does not ring absurd to you, then you could have fallen sufferer to the company/executive-owned mainstream media propaganda.

Answer 3

I believe neither. Especially when the people who say #1, say bush is an idiot who cant tie his own shoes. And #2 says bush is an idiot who doesnt even know what a shoe is. Yet in both he is the head of a big intricate criminal plan that goes undetected except by the nutjobs


Dennis leary said it best. He has many friends and knows many of the heros of 9-11. You talk to them and you know the building wasnt imploded. It was blown up, and the evidence points to muslim extrememist. Even the leftist own 9-11 commision says it. get over it

Answer 4

I've read some really strange stories that happened around the time of 9/11.. who knows? I think if Bush or Cheney had planned it, someone would have leaked the information. Everything else in the administration has been leaked out.

Answer 5

Mine lies somewhere in between.

I believe the US Government is lying about 9/11! Conspiracy? I don't know, but there are too many things that don't fit in the realm of possibility to ignore them!

I am still waiting for the FBI to release 1 picture of that 100 ton, 1/2 football field long 757-200 that they say hit the Pentagon. They say the plane, made out of Titanium, was essentially vaporized! Even if I did believe that, how did they recover all the bodies?

It would not be the first time such a plan was hatched!

"Code named Operation Northwoods, the plan, which had the written approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing Cuba to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch their war.

The idea may actually have originated with President Eisenhower in the last days of his administration. With the Cold War hotter than ever and the recent U-2 scandal fresh in the public's memory, the old general wanted to go out with a win. He wanted desperately to invade Cuba in the weeks leading up to Kennedy's inauguration; indeed, on January 3 he told Lemnitzer and other aides in his Cabinet Room that he would move against Castro before the inauguration if only the Cubans gave him a really good excuse. Then, with time growing short, Eisenhower floated an idea. If Castro failed to provide that excuse, perhaps, he said, the United States "could think of manufacturing something that would be generally acceptable." What he was suggesting was a pretext a bombing, an attack, an act of sabotage carried out secretly against the United States by the United States. Its purpose would be to justify the launching of a war. It was a dangerous suggestion by a desperate president.

Although no such war took place, the idea was not lost on General Lemnitzer But he and his colleagues were frustrated by Kennedy's failure to authorize their plan, and angry that Castro had not provided an excuse to invade.

The final straw may have come during a White House meeting on February 26, 1962. Concerned that General Lansdale's various covert action plans under Operation Mongoose were simply becoming more outrageous and going nowhere, Robert Kennedy told him to drop all anti-Castro efforts. Instead, Lansdale was ordered to concentrate for the next three months strictly on gathering intelligence about Cuba. It was a humiliating defeat for Lansdale, a man more accustomed to praise than to scorn.

As the Kennedy brothers appeared to suddenly "go soft" on Castro, Lemnitzer could see his opportunity to invade Cuba quickly slipping away. The attempts to provoke the Cuban public to revolt seemed dead and Castro, unfortunately, appeared to have no inclination to launch any attacks against Americans or their property Lemnitzer and the other Chiefs knew there was only one option left that would ensure their war. They would have to trick the American public and world opinion into hating Cuba so much that they would not only go along, but would insist that he and his generals launch their war against Castro. "World opinion, and the United Nations forum," said a secret JCS document, "should be favorably affected by developing the international image of the Cuban government as rash and irresponsible, and as an alarming and unpredictable threat to the peace of the Western Hemisphere."

Operation Northwoods called for a war in which many patriotic Americans and innocent Cubans would die senseless deaths, all to satisfy the egos of twisted generals back in Washington, safe in their taxpayer financed homes and limousines.

Answer 6

I believe in the theory stated on South Park: One in every four Americans is retarded, and that the 9/11 conspiracy is a conspiracy orchestrated by the government because they want these 1/4 people to think that they're responsible for 9/11, even though they're not.

Three thumbs down... Okay, I guess 4/4 people are retarded. Don't you people know a joke when you read one? Idiots.

And people, stop trying to pass off conspiracy theories as the truth, seriously. It's getting really old.

Answer 7

Why would people believe either?

How about this one - Clinton was offered bin Laden by Chad while president and declined to do anything about it?

Or maybe, he was just too busy defending himself against sexual crimes against women (not Lewinsky) to do his constitutional job of defending the nation?

Or maybe these are the truth! (Well-documented, incidentally.)

As a military family member, I have friends who did and do work closely with the current administration. There is NO credible evidence of lies coming from the White House, although there has been some misinformation: mistakes were made. No conspiracy. No credible evidence.

Contrast that with the Clintons. Scary.

Answer 8

The American government not only knew.. they orchestrated it.. believe what you want to believe people.. I am tired of trying to get you folk into thinking in logical terms, when all it seems is that you are only too willing to behave in the way of sheep being led to slaughter.. good luck to you and your ignorance.. maybe some day you people will wake the hell up and just maybe... IT WON'T BE TOO LATE...

Answer 9

I don't believe either one specifically. All I know is that we are not being told the truth about what happened that day.

And why not? What are they hiding? Why do they want us to think its some sort of conspiracy?

Answer 10

I am surprised how many stupid, ungrateful for having freedom, people live in America. Conspiracy theorists are just wrong and very ignorant.

Answer 11

Absolutely. The towers were clearly imploded. See http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5547481422995115331. To see the 9/11 part only: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7160790539111319889.
