Answer 1

Part of the problem is that there is a psycholoical conditioning attached to the term conspiracy theory, which has been drilled into the public's head at every opportunity. The implication is that anything labeled conspiracy theory is therefore not true, as if the very utterance of the word nullifies any factual basis behind the claims being made. And, to be certain, there those out there who fit the stereotype of full time conspiracy theorists. I have no doubt that many of these people started talking conspiracy right after the attacks, before the evidence could even be evaluated. However, what many of those who scream "tin foil hat wearing whacko" at the very mention of a 9/11 conspiracy fail to realize is that in the case of 9/11, many of the most vocal skeptics were never "conspiracy theorists." People like - Paul Craig Roberts, Reagan's former undersecretary of treasury, David Ray Griffin, one of the nost esteemed scholars in the nation in the fields of philosophy and theology, Physicist Steven Jones, a devout Mormon and Republican, considered among the premier scientists in the world in his field, Col. David Ray, undersecretary of defense under Reagan --- the list goes on and on. These are people who had no use for "conspiracy theories" before, or after, the events of 9/11. THey were not UFO enthusiasts or moon landing skeptics, but their own research led them to conclude that there is more to the story than we are being fed. I, while not an esteemed scholar or former government official, consider myself in this category. I dismissed any alternative 9/11 theories for several years until a friend of mine encouraged me to research for myself. There are a lot of psychological hurdles to looking at the evidence with an open mind. For many, especially among the pseudo-intellectual left, conspiracy theories are considered quite unfashionable. Problem is, conspiracies happen all the time. They are part of human nature. Sometimes the true nature of historical events are covered up by the government and the media. This is a fact. Historians have been uncovering hidden aspects of history for years. Are they all to be dismissed as conspiracy theorists because their work counters the official story?

Answer 2

It is hard to believe there is a coverup regarding 9/11 because of the everpresent existence of such nonsense over ererything form soup to nuts. Seems there's a tendency in our society to develop these theories. Maybe people think it gives them the aura of having insight that others don't. But any junk pulled out of anyones ears can get some attention. So if one theory doesn't fit the susceptable, another will. Once started, these things develop a life of their own.

Answer 3

Why is it so easy to accept some mathematical formulae, especially ones that include the word, "assuming", over any other report. Read your own noted article. It assumes facts that are not necessarily true. It assumes the actual time of collapse to be a certain interval, while showing that under circumstances noted the time interval should have been two second greater. The basis of the calculation is on the time for a ball bearing to fall from a particular height. It is just plain silly.

Answer 4

Unpopular Mechanics and History Channel can claim that they debunked this and that all they want, but the truth is when you look at all the lies cover ups and distortions about the original story, which reads more like a fairy tale than anything, they only other way to look at it is an inside job.

If people only looked at history and did some research on
Operation Northwoods, MK Ultra, Operation Paperclip, Operation Gladio, most people would realize that the CIA and the government are definitely not looking out for our best interests.

Couple that with the fact that Congress KNEW the Iraq war was based on lies and they voted for it anyways it is obvious to any free thinking individual that our government, both Democons and Republicrats, is the enemy and not some CIA invention called Al Qaeda.

Answer 5

Because to do so goes against all the rhetoric, lies and disinformation that United States citizens have been spoon fed since grammar school.

With your pastor/imam/rabbi all telling you to believe in your government (or any higher authority for that matter), plus the parental/god ideas we are taught since birth, work to create a blind sense of compliance in most US citizens.

We humans like to believe that this world is mostly good and that the actions of those in power are in the best interests of the entire country. The truth, however, is the exact opposite.

Those who do not learn from His-Story.... Sadly, the US government and rich/elite special interests have learned HOW NOT TO GET CAUGHT, while the working class/poor majority have learned HOW TO SCAPE BY.

It's called the strategy of confusion: toss minor pseudo-problems (flag burning, immigration, drugs, crime, war, etc..) at the population to distract from the true ATROCITIES. Even politics have become distraction, with the "orchestrated opposition" fooling people into believing that Democraps can take the same money from the same donors as Repukelicans, YET ARE SOMEHOW MORE INTERESTED IN helping the public. It is time to WAKE UP.

Answer 6

Seriously, folks -- without even jumping to the obvious conclusion that "The government / Bush did it!" you can still remain open-minded and skeptical of the official story. It's incredibly easy to do considering the 9/11 Commission Report is full of half-truths, distortions, and blatant ignorance of the most damning of evidence such as the WTC 7, which is not even mentioned in their analysis.

As for that notorious "Popular Mechanics" article that deniers are oh-so fond of citing as evidence to the contrary, have you ever taken intro to debate or philosophy? Their poor attempt at "Debunking 9/11 Conspiracies" is rife with straw-man arguments and immature attacks/labels on the opposition. You should really ask yourself why such an esteemed and generally accredited publication is employing such low-brow tactics to make their claims.

Answer 7

Some people will believe whatever they want or choose to believe. No ammount of proof or common sense will change their mind. It's called denial. While others, are open to all possibilities. Everyone must make up his or her own mind.

Answer 8

why do you have to keep up this b.s.?cant you except the fact crazy people from another country did this?if osama didnt do it why is he hiding?has he come out and said'me and george planned the whole thing, he figured most of the people in the trade center,pentagon and camp david voted democrat,so the only logical thing to do was fly a plane into em'?why should i believe you?who are you?

Answer 9

the coverup is how the bushies kept the saudis name out of official reports.

i have never heard a single munitions expert back the theory that the towers were a controlled demolition.

i would guess any that think this was a controlled demo don't have an idea of what actually goes into creating a controlled demo...

Answer 10

Are you sure that space aliens from another galaxy didn't come down and caused those planes to crash into the twin towers? Maybe these "little green men from Mars" caused minds in the government to be brain washed so that it appeared as if Osama bin Laden was responsible.

Read "War of the Worlds" and you'll be even more convinced that Martians are controlling the world.
