The truth about 9/11

I came across this website with a lot of interesting blurbs regarding 9/11 made by knowledgable and credible people. It has really made me think seriously about what I believe. For a long time I thought maybe it was possible that certain individuals within our Government knew about an impending attack and allowed it to happen, but I didn't believe it was an "inside job". Now, I question that assumption. I wonder if our leaders were not actually involved to a much greater extent.

    I haven't read that site yet (I'll flip through it later) but I just find it hard to believe that a government that screws up so many things on a daily basis can be so efficient in executing a plan like that and keep it a secret before, during and 9 years after.

    Yes but you can't think of it like that. I don't belive that "the government" as a single entity had anything to do with it. It was more than likely a group of well-connected individuals working through the U.S. intelligence networks.

    You make a good point and I don't think of the gov as a single organism but no matter how nasty our agencies can be I just don't think they can pull something like that off. On a scale that size with all that at stake and for that length of time?

    I know what you're saying. It is something to think about. But there are too many things that don't add up (or do add up, I guess depending on how you look at it) about 9/11. I don't want to start listing all the facts here, I would end up with a post a mile long. There are lots of links on that website with interesting data. A good one is http://www.physics911.net/.

    Let me just say that if you have any doubt that our government would lie to the American people in order to start a war, read about the Gulf of Tonkin, or Operation Northwoods.

    what about all the black ops and other secrets kept throughout the years? how'd they manage that? it's not like every person in government would have been involved, it really wouldn't even take that many, just some in the right places

    Oh hey look another 9-11 thread on the "MT" how original

    Anyone wanna take bets on how long this 9-11 thread last. I say 8-10 pages of rehashed info.

    Somethings will never change on the "MT"

    I don't doubt for a sec that there's clandestine operations. But 9/11 was an order of magnitude greater than 4 guys sneaking in and knocking off a diplomat in Czechoslovakia. And really I'm not saying that they couldn't pull it off but there's no way that the hundreds it would take to execute it would be quiet about it for 9 years.

    Plus I'm not trying to argue with anyone just throwing in the ol' 2 cents.

    lol...the reviews of that book are as divided as people are about 9/11. The CT crowd gives it 1 star, calling it disinformation...the mainstream folks all think it's frickin War and Peace. Shocking.

    the parts about the conspiracies are interesting but the passagess on the psychology of conspiracy theories are really pretty interesting. It isn't gonna change any minds, but it is a great read if you are interested in conspiracy theoories on a psychological/sociological level.

    The thing that makes this unlikely is the amount of people that would have had to be involved keeping their mouths shut. After all these years somebodies conscience would have got the better of them or they would get the urge to spill the beans, either for money or for fame.

    If it were an inside job, or at least criminal negligience, how many people would have knowledge of every detail in the plan? Probably very few. Lots of people would have knowledge of minor details, which if pieced together, paints a picture in stark contrast to the Commission report.
    There were many whistleblowers - no one with a smoking gun, here it is on a silver platter-type confession....but many that were silenced when trying to report anomolies between the official story and what they knew as truth...a partial list:

    I must admit that when certain peoples statements are looked at the possibility of an inside job becomes more probable. The real thing that stops the majority of people looking any deeper is that we cannot believe that our leaders could go to such extremes, we also do not want to believe it as that discovery would destroy everything we believe in.

    I always enjoy the very polar belief by the 9-11 truthers, basically that the government or some in it are either so overly-competent to pull off something like 9-11 or their utter incompetence that they can't do anything and government is filled with idiots. And what has always made GW Bush such a decisive figure is this exact premise - some people think he's an evil genius and others think he's an absolute buffoon (idiot puppet). Anyways, good luck solving the 9-11 "conspiracy", I'll be awaiting the findings.

    I always enjoy how people paint anyone who questions 9/11 as a conspiracy theorist, or even more heinous, a "truther" (since when is 'truth' a dirty word?) Im guessing you'd be willing to admit that the official story doesnt add up...yet you have no problem talking down to people who point out the inconsistencies therein....
    We've already got the "too many people involved", and the "evil geniuses / incompetent buffoon" blanket rebuttals...all thats left is a smug reference to occams razor and we'll have the trifecta of "I have no idea what happened, but here's why YOU are wrong" statements all in one thread. All three are just an easy way out.
    we can finish it off with " you'll never know, why bother?" To complete the circle of apathy. Cool.
  • FiveB247xFiveB247x Posts: 2,330
    Simply because we don't know all the facts regarding what happened and trying to find out is one thing, but 99.9% of anyone on this board who talks about this stuff, isn't looking for or seeking "truth", they're simply trying to fill the void on their skewed version of the truth. So we hear all about conspiracy, inside job, who knew what, and the half-truth science which fits their mold. Just like the lunar landing, 100% of the fact and truth has been gone over, yet people still believe it didn't occur... you know why? Not because of truth or fact, but simply because they don't want to believe. People don't care about truth and fact, they care about what facts they choose to believe in order to build their truth. Which is why it's a conspiracy theory.

    not to mention the timeline the commission was given under oath was later proven to be false....

    another thing that ended up being false is the claim of boxcutters. that came from a single source, who said his wife called him from her cell phone on the plane and told him that....but according to the FBI her cell phone record shows she never made such a call, nor was the skyphone on the plane used to call him....in short, the FBI says this guy was never called by his wife on 9/11 and yet the boxcutter myth is accepted as common knowledge and fact.

    ugh, I wish you'd quote like everyone else does, your reply-before-the-quote way is painful with multiple quotes lol...

    K, so...since you seem so intent on categorizing/psychoanalyzing the people who still have questions about 9/11, while seeming reluctant to stick your own neck out at all....do you support the state stance on what happened that day, since all the facts have been gone over? Or do you fit in your other categories - one of the .01% who is looking for truth? Or.....one of the apathetic who has given up cause we'll never know?

    so, the government's account is right? a lone gunman shot him from the back making his head go back and to the left?

    i ask because in the 9/11 debunking shows they always dismiss jfk's assassination theories as equal to 9/11 theories.

    I don't equate the two and feel there's plenty of unknown, but my point was simply there's a million and one different variations of what truly occurred.. whether it's the official story or tons of varying stories. If we ever had the government come out and actually say what did happen, it wouldn't be believed by most. People have it in their heads that such a large occurrence can only be explained with an equally grandiose answer. If Bin Laden was caught tomorrow and confessed to everything, every last detail, many would still dismiss it. So what does that tell you? People want to believe their own version of fact and truth.

    while i know there are certainly people like you describe that doesn't account for everyone who questions the events. i don't claim to know what happened, in fact i can't even decide between a few scenarios but i do know what they say doesn't add up.

    as to the government is inept...yeah, when it comes to the people, that's the point, it's not like every branch of government would have to be involved in this, i really think they could get away with it with even less than 2 dozen people. these are the same people who sent thousands of our kids to war without proper protection saying "you go to war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had." meanwhile they are giving no bid contracts to campaign investors and cheney's former company and then giving them bonuses even after they are found to have committed a lot of fraud in billing us (on top of feeding our troops spoiled meat, dirty water....) also, as far as death tolls go multiple 9/11s happen in the US every day from lack of health care and smoking.

    and we're supposed to believe over an hour after the 1st plane hit the towers rumsfeld still had no idea any of that happened? he was in the pentagon, the fucking sec of defense, over an hour after cheney (a former sec of defense) says it is obvious we are under attack and no one bothers to tell rummy? he doesn't find out until AFTER the pentagon is hit? really??? give me a fucking break! and cheney, again a former sec of defense, waits over an hour after saying it is obvious we are under attack to scramble fighters? a known hijacked plane is allowed to penetrate DC's no fly zone, again over an hour after the first plane hit, makes a u-turn, re-penetrates DCs no fly zone and then cheney finally decides to get some jets up in the air when andrew's air force base is 10miles away from DC?

    and then we are told a few years later the guy who supposedly did this isn't important and our president doesn't even think about him??

    ask anyone what weapons did the hijackers use and i bet they will say boxcutters and yet there is no actual basis for this claim but everyone accepts it as fact....but i'm sure they mean everything else they said

    9/11 was planned and executed by a group of fuckheads that call themselves Al-Qaida. Their leader in Osama Bin Laden. Thy hijacked some planes. Pilots called traffic control towers and passengers called loved ones. Then they all crashed.

    9/11 is now solved. This thread can be put to rest.

    COMMON SENSE!!!
