Answer 8

its a bs conspiracy if it was set up by the gov they would have only had one place attacked

Answer 9

It looks to be so, either in part or on whole.  Either the government let it happen and took steps to magnify the effect, or it was an inside job.

There are too many incredibly ridiculous assertions in the official bill of goods to buy that story as a single package.  Because of that, the whole story has a big black cloud of suspicion over it.

Answer 10

Definately.  If you have the time, watch this video.  It is completely amazing!!  It drags on a bit in the beginning, but give it a chance.  You'll be dumbfounded.

Answer 11

Well, you can 'think' what ever you want on it. There are no laws against 'thinking while stupid'.

This is a  long response, but since you asked the question, I will post the information. The truth is there and the conspiracists only twist it to keep themselves important. Please take the time to read the entire article...

The only conspiracy involved was that of the hijacker/terrorist participants who planned and executed the attack.

For those of you that 'think' that there was any other 'involvement' regarding the U.S. Government, you had better think again. Each and EVERY 'theory' was debunked by "Popular Mechanics" magazine:

"From the moment the first airplane crashed into the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001, the world has asked one simple and compelling question: How could it happen?

Three and a half years later, not everyone is convinced we know the truth. Go to Google.com, type in the search phrase "World Trade Center conspiracy" and you'll get links to an estimated 628,000 Web sites. More than 3000 books on 9/11 have been published; many of them reject the official consensus that hijackers associated with Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda flew passenger planes into U.S. landmarks.

Healthy skepticism, it seems, has curdled into paranoia. Wild conspiracy tales are peddled daily on the Internet, talk radio and in other media. Blurry photos, quotes taken out of context and sketchy eyewitness accounts have inspired a slew of elaborate theories: The Pentagon was struck by a missile; the World Trade Center was razed by demolition-style bombs; Flight 93 was shot down by a mysterious white jet. As outlandish as these claims may sound, they are increasingly accepted abroad and among extremists here in the United States.

To investigate 16 of the most prevalent claims made by conspiracy theorists, POPULAR MECHANICS assembled a team of nine researchers and reporters who, together with PM editors, consulted more than 70 professionals in fields that form the core content of this magazine, including aviation, engineering and the military.

In the end, we were able to debunk each of these assertions with hard evidence and a healthy dose of common sense. We learned that a few theories are based on something as innocent as a reporting error on that chaotic day. Others are the byproducts of cynical imaginations that aim to inject suspicion and animosity into public debate. Only by confronting such poisonous claims with irrefutable facts can we understand what really happened on a day that is forever seared into world history...."

Any person who thinks, believes, accepts, purports, surmises, or in any other way comes to any conclusion that the September 11, 2001 attack on the United States was a conspiracy involveing the United States goverment is MORON at best, and a LIAR at worst.

This question is offensive to the memories of the nearly 3,000 people who died and the survivors.

And after each and every myth was debunked, the prominent site for 911 lies then attacked Popular Mechanics, which is a great SCIENCE magazine with over 100 years of respected history...

And because of that, Popular Mechanics exposed how '9/11 Conspiracy' websites, and perveyors operate as well:

"The Conspiracy Industry: Afterword to PM Expanded Investigation

By James B. Meigs, Editor-In-Chief, Popular Mechanics

Published on: October 13, 2006

On February 7, 2005, I became a member of the Bush/Halliburton/Zionist/CIA/New World Order/ Illuminati conspiracy for global domination. It was on that day the March 2005 issue of Popular Mechanics, with its cover story debunking 9/11 conspiracy theories, hit newsstands. Within hours, the online community of 9/11 conspiracy buffs—which calls itself the “9/11 Truth Movement”—was aflame with wild fantasies about me and my staff, the magazine I edit, and the article we had published.

The Web site www.911research.wtc7.net, an organization that claims that questioning the “official” story of 9/11 is “an act of responsible citizenship,” fired one of the first salvos: “Popular Mechanics Attacks Its 9/11 LIES Straw Man,” read the headline of a piece by a leading conspiracy theorist named Jim Hoffman.

We had begun our plunge down the rabbit hole. Within hours, a post on www.portland.indymedia.org, which claims to be dedicated to “radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of truth,” called me “James Meigs the Coward and Traitor.” Not long afterward, another prominent conspiracy theorist produced an analysis that concluded that Popular Mechanics is a CIA front organization. Invective and threats soon clogged the comments section of our Web site and poured in by e-mail:

"I was amused at your attempts to prove the conspirator theorists wrong by your interviewing people who work for the government. Face it: The U.S. government planned this attack to further its own agenda in the Middle East.

Rest assured, puppet boys . . . when the hammer comes down about the biggest crime ever perpetrated in the history of man—AND IT WILL—it will be VERY easy to identify the co-conspirators by their flimsy, awkwardly ignorant of reality magazine articles. Keep that in mind the next time you align yourself with evil scum.

YOU HAVE DECLARD YOURSELF ENEMY OF AMERICANS AND FRIEND OF THE MOSSAD!"

I shouldn’t have been surprised. In researching the article we’d spent enough time studying the conspiracy movement to get a feel for its style: the tone of outraged patriotism, the apocalyptic rhetoric, the casual use of invective. A common refrain in conspiracy circles is the claim that “We’re just asking questions.” One would think that at least some quarters of the conspiracy movement might welcome a mainstream publication’s serious, nonideological attempt to answer those questions. One would be wrong.

It was only a matter of time before the n***s got dragged in. Christopher Bollyn, a prominent conspiracy theorist affiliated with the far-right American Free Press, weighed in a few weeks later with a piece titled “The Hidden Hand of the CIA, 911 And Popular Mechanics.” The article begins with a brief history of Hitler’s consolidation of power following the Reichstag fire in 1933. “Like n**i Germany of 1933,” Bollyn wrote, “American newsstands today carry a mainstream magazine dedicated to pushing the government’s truth of 9/11 while viciously smearing independent researchers as extremists who peddle fantasies and make poisonous claims.”

In a few short weeks, Popular Mechanics had gone from being a 100-year-old journal about science, engineering, car maintenance, and home improvement to being a pivotal player in a global conspiracy on a par with n**i Germany.

Not all the responses were negative, of course. One visitor to our Web site, after plowing through dozens of angry comments, left a supportive post that included this astute observation:

"Some people are open to any possibility, and honestly examine all evidence in a rational manner to come to a conclusion, followed by a moral evaluation. Others start with a desire for a specific moral evaluation, and then work backwards assembling any fact that supports them, and dismissing any fact that does not."

Author Chip Berlet, who is an analyst for the liberal think tank Political Research Associates, employs the awkward but useful term “conspiracism” to describe this mindset. “Populist conspiracism sees secret plots by tiny cabals of evildoers as the major motor powering important historical events,” he writes on the think tank’s Web site. Berlet has spent more than two decades studying far-right and authoritarian movements in the United States. “Every major traumatic event in U.S. history generates a new round of speculation about conspiracies,” he writes. “The attacks on 9/11/01 are no exception.”

As the hate mail poured in and articles claiming to have debunked the magazine’s analysis proliferated online, we soon learned to identify the key techniques that give conspiracy theorists their illusion of coherence.Argument by Anomaly

In an article about the Popular Mechanics 9/11 report, Scientific American columnist Michael Shermer makes an important observation about the conspiracist method: “The mistaken belief that a handful of unexplained anomalies can undermine a well-established theory lies at the heart of all conspiratorial thinking (as well as creationism, Holocaust denial and the various crank theories of physics). All the ‘evidence’ for a 9/11 conspiracy falls under the rubric of this fallacy.”

A successful scientific theory organizes masses of information into a coherent, well-tested narrative. When a theory has managed to explain the real world accurately enough for long enough, it becomes accepted as fact. Conspiracy theorists, Shermer points out, generally ignore the mass of evidence that supports the mainstream view and focus strictly on tiny anomalies. But, in a complex and messy world, the fact that there might be a few details we don’t yet understand should not be surprising.

A good example is the conspiracist fascination with the collapse of 7 World Trade Center. Since the 47-story tower was not hit by an airplane, only by the debris of the North Tower, investigators weren’t sure at first just how or why it collapsed hours after the attacks. A scientist (or for that matter, a journalist or historian) might see that gap in our knowledge as an opportunity for further research (see “WTC 7: Fire and Debris Damage,” page 53

Answer 12

all the morons.

Answer 13

We'll miss you WTC.

And it was not a conspiracy.

GOD BLESS THE U.S.A!!!!!

Answer 14

No I think 911 was what it was.  Bush is too stupid to be involved in such a complex attack.

Answer 15

who cares?

would it change anything?

Answer 16

osama bin laden is a filthy piece of **** who sent a couple of planes to kill us "infidels". that's what happened!!!

AND ANYONE WHO CLAIMS GEORGE BUSH CAUSED 9/11 IS JUST A PATHETIC DIRTY LIBERAL WHO'S JUST TRYING TO FIND ANY EXCUSE TO HATE MR. BUSH.

why can't u people accept the fact that muslims want to kill all us westerners or convert us to the "religion of peace" which seems to be causing all the terror these days?

BTW the koran is satan's toilet paper because even satan himself wouldn't read the book because he said it was too evil.

Answer 17

9/11  was a conspiracy by the people who crashed planes into twin towers and elsewhere.

Answer 18

George W. Bush was 'selected' as President to 'get even' with Saddam Hussein for humilitating George H.W. Bush during Operation Desert Storm.

d**k Cheney was 'selected' as Vice-President to orchestrate the confiscation of Iraq's massive OIL reserves.

George H.W. Bush joined a small company called the Carlyle Group shortly after leaving the Oval Office. Many of his former cabinet members (like James Baker) also joined the company. Among the primary investors in this new company (headquartered within walking distance of the White House) were many of the Bush family's close personal Saudi Arabian friends, including a prominent family by the name of binLaden, who originally invested $2.5 million.

Cheney was given an astounding multi-million-dollar 'golden parachute' after briefly serving as the CEO of an obscure little company called Halliburton.

From the very first day Bush/Cheney entered the White House, they were given orders to attack Iraq. But they needed an excuse. So a 'terrorist attack' on U.S. soil was planned to stir emotions and drive the American population in to a paranoid frenzy of fear.

Larry Silverstein, a good friend of the Bush family, was drowning in 'red ink' from his World Trade Center fiasco that had a lot of disgruntled tenants - and a lot of vacancies. Silverstein hired GEORGE W. Bush's younger brother as his director of security for the WTC buildings.

On 09-11-01, the WTC buildings collapsed in what many experts believe to be the result of demolition explosives planted inside the twin towers. Silverstein, after years of legal wrestling, collected sixteen times his investment from his insurance company (by the way, Silverstein also had just modified his insurance policies to specifically cover "acts of terrorism" - just prior to 9-11).

Emotions ran high, which easily conned Congress - and the American people - into giving Bush a 'blank check' to 'fight terrorism'. Bush used Colin Powell as a scapegoat to concoct his 'weapons of mass destruction' evidence, and decided to declare an unconstitutional, illegal, immoral 'war' on another sovereign nation that in no way had threatened, provoked or attacked the United States of America.

After years of fighting, Bush's #1 non-military 'benchmark' insists that the Iraqi Parliament surrender two-thirds of its OIL fields to foreign OIL companies, giving corporations like Exxon-Mobil (and others) the right to virtually STEAL most of Iraq's most valuable economic resource.

Halliburton is building fourteen new, permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq. The U.S. is erecting the largest embassy in the world on a 104-acre site in downtown Baghdad, overlooking the modest headquarters of the 'new' Iraqi government. It is apparent the U.S. will maintain a presence in Iraq for decades, perhaps generations - until we've managed to suck all of OIL from Iraq's sands.

The Carlyle Group and Halliburton have become two of the federal government's largest contractors in this Iraqi 'war'. Both firms have direct ties to the Bush/Cheney White House. Both firms have been lavished with government contracts, often without even having to submit a competetive bid.

As the price of OIL has skyrocketed, Exxon-Mobil has recorded record profits while their customers pay record prices for gasoline. Other OIL companies, of course, also enjoy massive profits as a direct result of this price-fixing, price-gouging and market manipulation.

The wealthy elitists, industrialists, OIL barons and power brokers who bailed George W. Bush out of one failed business venture after another have finally been repaid. They have become wealthier and more powerful thanks to the puppet they put in the White House and their 'puppet master", d**k Cheney, who orchestrated the entire plan.

It is well documented that the U.S. government knew about the pending 9-11 'attack'...what's less evident is exactly how much the Bush administration participated in the event.

On 9-11-01, Carlyle Group investors were in Washington, DC for a special meeting. After the twin towers collapsed, they were quietly flown out of the country even though all other air traffic had been grounded. Is it possible that Osama binLaden was flown back into the country on our government's jets? Is it possible he has been living in his family's huge, gated, guarded compound outside Orlando, Florida ever since? Afgter the emotion died down, George W. Bush publicly proclaimed that binLaden was "no longer a priority" and ordered most government agencies charged with finding him to stop their search.  

NEXT STOP: IRAN. The White House is already vigorously denying published reports that the Bush administration intends to invade Iran before the end of this year. All the Bushites have to do is come up with a plausible excuse ("weapons of mass destruction" won't work again). Most likely it will come in the form of another staged 'terrorist attack' on U.S. soil - this time in the Midwest, perhaps Chicago or St. Louis.

Bush will blame the Iranians for the 'attack' and declare matrtial law, claiming that it's in the best interests of our national security not to change adminsitrations at this crucial time of 'war'. He can easily do this since he revoked the Posse Comitatus Act of 1879, which in the past prevented any U.S. President from declaring martial law without the consent of Congress.

Bush will then be ordered to impose 'benchmarks' on Iran so that  American OIL corporations can STEAL all of Iran's OIL.

Bush recently asked Saudi Arabia to increase OIL production, but proclaimed it to be a modest effort and expressed the need for opening more domestic OIL exploration in the United States. That very same day, a new advertisement started appearing on Yahoo and other Internet sites, urging Americans to write their Congressmen and demand that they allow pristine Alaskan wilderness to be opened up for domestic OIL production. The Partnership for American Energy Security is almost based in Alexandira, Virginia, and is almost certainly funded by "big OIL" interests. As American motorists continue to suffer at the pump, they will desperately agree to let the Bush adminsitration's "OIL" friends build pipelines, disrupting caribou migration routes and soiling one of the few remaining pristine places on the planet - all for the sake of a few hundred billion barrels of OIL (a meager supply).

Instead of helping to create new alternative fuels, building more mass transportation facilities, encouraging citizens to conserve fuel by driving more fuel-efficient cars, and forcing automakers to build more fuel-efficient cars, the Bush administration insists on promoting OIL as our one and only energy solution.

So, could all this be just a strange series of 'coincidences' that have happened ever since 09-11-01? If you're naive enough to believe that, please call me. I've got some oceanfront property in Truth-Or-Consequences, New Mexico I'd like to sell you!  -RKO-  05/21/08
