Why are reasonable people with reasonable questions about 9/11 being discredited?

Question

Why are there such vicious personal attacks against anyone who questions a seriously flawed official account of the events of 9/11?

It smells like a huge information coverup. Why aren't more Americans demanding a truthful account of the 9/11 events?

Scholars and Family Members Submit Request for Correction to 9/11 NIST Report

Answer 1

Probably because no one watched Alex Jones' "Martial Law" and they instead watched Michael Moore's "Farenheit 9/11". Probably because David Icke is still fairly unfamiliar to most people, and FOX News is much more convenient (and easier to accept). Probably because it's easier to go along with the status quo and be accepted in society than it is to seek knowledge and argue the truth with blind people. Probably because when 9/11 hit, it was followed by the Patriot Act, which basically said that if you disagree with the "official report," you're not a patriot. And really, for lack of a more eloquent way to put it, people are dumb.

Answer 2

In my opinion, more Americans aren't requesting a further inquiry simply because there is overwhelming evidence against a conspiracy, including:

SCIENCE
--All the structural engineers & demolition experts who have published journal articles on 9/11 have come out against a conspiracy. There are no published articles by the “experts” cited by the conspiracy theorists

MOTIVE
--Bush, corporations, or his friends could just as easily make money with no risk by: receipt of lobbying, giving themselves options, awarding pork barrel contracts, kickbacks, etc. This is the way Washington works, & there’s no need for killing innocent Americans.

--It has been claimed that unusual financial transactions were made before 9-11. Actually, all such transactions are a matter of public record. However, upon inspection, no such transactions occurred to any meaningful extent. (See Point 6, at:
http://usinfo.state.gov/xarchives/display.html?p=pubs-english&y=2006&m=August&x=20060828133846esnamfuaK0.2676355

If such transactions did occur, then who did it? When? For how much? Specifics are needed for believability.

SECRECY
--As they say, 3 people can keep a secret IF 2 of them are dead. So many people would have to be involved that SOMEONE should have come forward by now.

KNOWN KILLERS
--Al-Qaeda is the self-admitted agent with documented motives. In 1993, they attacked the WTC using a truck bomb and they were behind the attack on the US in Mogadishu. In 1996, Bin Laden issued a fatwa (basically a declaration of war) against the United States. In 2000 al-Qaeda bombed the missile destroyer U.S.S. Cole near Yemen, killing 17 servicemen. They bombed trains in London and Spain, and have been active in Algeria, Somalia and Kenya, Pakistan, etc, etc. The 20th terrorist, Zacarias Moussaoui, admitted guilt in court.

VAGUENESS OF THE CLAIMS
--The actual person or organization who is supposed to have pulled off the 9/11 inside job has never been named. It would seem that no one is actually named because then the conspiracy claim could be immediately verified out in the open with a real person. Are conspiracists afraid that the claims would be then be proven wrong? In any event, lack of details & vagueness suggests falsehood. Specific claims are more believable.

WRONG PSYCHOLOGY
--Very few people have the psychologic makeup to be mass-murderers, & they usually show signs of it beforehand (like Hitler did in Mein Kampf). People like Bush & Cheney don’t become mass murderers; mass murderers are more like “Son of Sam” & Jeffrey Dahmer.

I think in some way, the majority of Americans understand much of the above & that's why most people are satisfied.

Thanks for this good question. I hope my answer helps.

Answer 3

I haven't made any personal attacks against the skeptics, except to advise many of them to go shopping for tin-foil hats. You see, the attack on America wasn't an academic exercise for me. There were two people that I knew who were on the plane which hit the Pentagon. I went to their funeral. They didn't ride into that building on a missile.
Millions of Americans sat in front of TV sets and saw live video footage of the second plane striking the tower of the World Trade Center. Even with that, the tin-foil hat brigade starts talking about explosive devices planted inside the buildings.
I don't care what the commission commited to paper. None of them were there. None of them suffered any personal loss from the events. And I can't dampen down those loved ones of the dead who are still in denial that their beloved has died. I'm just fed up with people who think that officials of our government would deliberately conspire to produce the deaths of thousands of civilians and members of the miltary on that day to advance some political agenda. Personally, I think those people are engaged in what mental health professionals call tranference. Deep within their tortured souls is a desire to carry out something along the lines of what they are proposing the President and others are accused of doing.

Answer 4

There are not vicious personal attacks. We are sick of hearing about it. We watched it on TV, read it in the news, and saw it every day all day for weeks. We KNOW what happened. There is no big cover up, sorry. We have a truthful account already. If you enjoy conspiracy theories then you'll see one happening behind every event out there.

Answer 5

Thanks for the opportunity to make another personal attack.
You conspiracy theorists are not reasonable people, you need
help from a mental health professional. We saw what happened on 9/11. There are no seriously flawed accounts of anything, just your seriously flawed minds.
The very fact that you use the term "smells like" clearly shows that you don't know anything.

Answer 6

If nothing else, the information you provided requires
a reasonable study.(Put in my files for just that purpose)

Answer 7

the whole history of america is one big lie

but you can't blame the people in america

what is taught in school history textbooks is also a load of crap

but thats what the government and schools and your dad tell you ....what are you gonna believe?

i feel sorry for americans sometimes

Answer 8

I think people should believe what they want to believe. I don't think people should have to try and convince everyone else to believe their side of the story. BTW, unless you know and were there, it's speculation anyhow.
