So you really believe in September 11th Conspiracies?

Question

Because I absolutely do not.

Jimbo, did you seriously make your point using Shooter as your evidence? Yes I saw it, and incase you haven't noticed...Hollywood is just "pretend." I think this phrase is what parents and guardians tell 5 year olds.

Answer 1

nope... I don't believe half of what that Bush had said about it either but that doesn't mean that I believe that the US government was involved. There are way too many people who would be in on it and with a crippled administration you'd have people running to the first microphone.

Most of the government's dishonesty about 9/11 and the war is because they were scrambling to hide deficiencies and ineptitude... not out of pure evil. It's still lying and they should be accountable but not for the actual event.

Answer 2

The real reason there cannot be conspiracies is this: people talk.

Let us presume that the average person has a 0.1% chance of leaking a secret each month, which is pretty small.

10 such people over the course of 5 years have a...5.66% chance of leaking the secret (according to the calculator). That means there is a 1 in 20 chance that someone talks during that period.

25 people over 10 years = 22.2% chance, or about 1 in 5.

And so on and so forth. What this means is that the more people who know about something and the more time passes makes the secret coming out almost certain.

The only way to keep a secret is to kill everyone involved; if you are the perpetrator of the conspiracy and everyone around you is dying, that always looks really suspicious.

The real problem with many conspiracy theories is that they rely too heavily upon coincidence, they link events that are truly unrelated, and they state claims with absolutely no tangible, credible, or physical evidence to support them. They are mostly guesswork and are generally born out of fear.

Answer 3

I'm really not sure. Certainly the circumstances were rather suspicious, but it's hard to say just to what extent there was a conspiracy. I would say that at the very least the american government was probably aware that something was going to be carried out beforehand and deliberately failed to do anything about it. At most, it's still quite concievable that they could have set the whole thing up themselves. There are a lot of loose ends involved that would be tied up neatly if there had been a large-scale conspiracy, but at the same time I think many of the things that the conspiracy buffs have pointed out aren't really that important (like the 'pod' and the 'UFO'). We may never know just exactly what really happened on September 11, 2001.

Answer 4

If not believing the official story means that I am a conspiracy theorist, than so be it. I have read that Popular Mechanics article numerous times. I purchased and read the 9/11 Commission Report. I've read countless articles on the internet. I've seen numerous videos, both advocating conspiracies and "debunking" them. I've been to a large symposium, shown on CSPAN, with many scientists and eye witnesses that cried foul by our government. I reiterate, if questioning the official story makes me a conspiracy theorist, so be it. There are just too many things that don't add up.

Answer 5

TO be really honest, apart from my biased thought, I don't believe the conspiracy that the Bush adminitration planned the demolition to bring the twin towers down. However, I do agree and belive with the conspiracy claiming, that the Bush administration could've stopped the attack; contradicting to the administration's claim that we were simply attacked, unprepared.

Answer 6

No.
But the people deserve to know what classified documents Sandy Berger destroyed, to protect Clinton from the 9/11 Investigation.

Answer 7

Hello have you seen the movie "Shooter" nothing happens without the governments permission. The question we need to ask is whats in it for Bush?

Answer 8

Each piece of "evidence" suggesting an inside job can be explained far easier as an act of terrorism. The conspiracy theorists really have bend reality into knots to explain them the way they want them to be.

paraphrasing FDR- when anything happens in business and politics it was planned.

Answer 10

I do not believe in them, nor do I believe that Elvis is alive. I might believe in them if I got all my information while waiting for my turn at the supermarket checkstand.
