Why does everyone think that 9/11 conspiracy theorists are nuts?

Question

I'm happen to believe in the conspiracy. I wrote a paper on it in fact. I do know that maybe if the government didn't cause it there was a least SOME kind of cover-up. So with all the evidence why am I nuts?

Read the paper than pass judgement.

Answer 1

the big problem for me is that there were real people on the planes that crashed into the pentagon and the twin towers. your conspiracy theory would have to explain their disappearance? also, if there was wrong doing and this so called cover up, someone in the mainstream media would have cracked it by now. the pay off would be huge for someone who found concrete evidence that supported your conspiracy "theory".  There are admittedly weired coincidences though i will admit.

Answer 2

Because the theory has so many holes in it that it equates to believing in a fairy tale.  It's like asking people to believe that trees roots indicate that trees grow into the ground from the air.

Answer 3

You're "theories" are nothing but spin, and really don't make a whole lot of sense when you look at the big picture. How can people say Bush did it? He just got in office. If he did, then he's a lot smarter than we all give him credit for. I don't care for the man either way, but seriously? All anyone can do is point out how he can hardly read a speech withouth stumbling, but yet they think he can plan something like that? That doesn't make sense either!

Answer 4

Good work nothing that I didn't know already.  I think several of the sources you gave credit to got the information from the two government report. Also the gas station video was later released and did not show anything at least in the version they released. Yes there is a cover-up. One thing that really struck home for me was

when I read this http://drjudywood.com/articles/BBE/Billi...

These calculations are not terribly complicated and deal with something I think anyone can understand who took high school math.

It is a lot easier and makes the world a safer place if you keep you head tucked snugly in the sand.

Oh yea concrete dust is not harmful remember that was what FEMA said read this http://www.osha.gov/Publications/3177-20...

Answer 5

don't pass judgement unless you have proof. it sounds like you are tring to create a fairytail.

Answer 6

Yes I think you are nuts and the guy that wrote that link must live in cookoo land Why ? I have worked in demolition and I can tell you it takes weeks of work, tones of explosives and miles of cable to bring down a building that size. And NOBODY saw them do it ? Come on  Come down to earth and face reality

Answer 7

isnt it obvious.

Answer 8

Joe Joe has got it right. Nothing more needs to be added.

Answer 9

The nutbars find some 'scientist' that says kerosene doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel.

The 'scientist' is too dumb to state that there is no knowing how hot the building got after it got ignited.

Is a fire in a pile of garbage capable of getting hot enough? Yes. Well that is what a building and all its contents amount to; a well ventilated pile of garbage.

And that is what conspiracy theories are; a well ventilated pile of garbage that do nothing to clarify the facts of what actually happened.

So yeah, the conspiracy theorists are nuts. Not only nuts but a complete ravening bunch of nutbars.

I'd hate to see what they will come up with if a really major disaster involving more than a few thousand people ever happens.

Answer 10

The short answer … the government and the main stream media working together to create that "common knowledge".   Brainwashing is the game.

The brainwashing was successful because it started on day one, while the country was in shock and grief.  In that state, even the most intelligent and suspicious people are impressionable.  I was among whose who bought the goods initially and for some time after 9/11!

It's very late ... too late for details.  If you leave the question open, I will return Saturday to add some links for reading.

Answer 11

Because they are.............

Answer 12

You're not crazy, you're just engaged in retrofitting. This is where one comes up with a theory, then searches for evidence that fits the theory. It is  a logically and scientifically flawed method of analysis because ANY theory can be supported this way.

I've blogged about this several times, enjoy:

A apologize in advance for the tone of the blogs, I try to be diplomatic, but the logical holes in 9/11 conspiracy theories are big enough to fly jetliners through. And what's really infuriating is how great a smokescreen this makes for the real conspiracy...it IS possible that some elements of the USA government knew the attack was coming, and didn't sound the alarm, never dreaming that the d**n buildings would collapse when the planes hit them. (Just like they never dreamed a few Japanese aircraft could sink 6 battleships at Pearl Harbor in a previous highly suspicious event.)

I'll blog about it again soon, because another fatal flaw in 9/11 conspiracy theories was recently brought to my attention.

But no, 9/11 conspiracy theorists aren't crazy. :)

Answer 13

Very good paper. You could have written another 50 times that with all the evidence that exists, for example

The Marriot hotel and the Freeway camera videos were also confiscated within minutes of the Pentagon and the place was crawling with black suited men taking away evidence within minutes rather than air crash investigation teams

The engine part recovered there was of a small military plane not a 757

The adjacent offices to the  collapsed section didn't even have fire damage, not even book pages got singed

Eye witnesses at the time described the object that hit as being like a "cruise missile with wings". There is even a video available now clearly showing it

Towers witnesses describe people burned from basement explosions before the first plane even hit

There were a group of near eastern "artists" staying in the tower free of charge in the most expensive rental property in the city for months before, witnesses say they spoke english with an Israeli accent, that just sounds strange

Security systems were shut down on the towers for a  week The man who runs the security company for the 3 fallen building the airport and United Airlines is none other than GW Bush's brother Marvin and his Kuwati backed company seems to have lost the security tapes too and maintenance records are also missing

Why was a USAF mobile command plane seen at the scene in NY and later Washington?

Is it a coincidence that the same man (Silverman) had recently bought the leases from the Port authority for a knock down price when they were valued at double what he paid, and he wasn't even the highest bidder and had them insured to the max for terrorist attack for the actual valuation price. He is in fact claiming twice for each separate attack as there were two planes

The cost of removing the asbestos from the buildings was going to be crippling, the dust from the collapse was 4% asbestos and will cause health problems for New Yorkers present for decades

The entire operation and subsequent events follow the PNAC report, coincidence?

There is no evidence of flight 93 anywhere at the site, no wreckage, no fire, no bodies, nothing. Even the wing marks in the ground were a ground feature already present if you check Google Earth.

What about the missing billion dollars of gold and silver from the basement vaults?

Look there are literally thousands of obvious clues if people would go and read. I dont need to list anymore. For gods sake you can go watch it all on Youtube if you are that lazy

What shocks me most is that if they did not use these planes as the weapons then they must have taken them somewhere else and executed the real passengers and crew

Yes it is horrifying that so many people can be so stupid as to not see what is clearly in front of their eyes. Is it pure stupidity or are they just to lazy to go and read something about it all. Don't they care they are being governed by people who would murder them and their family without a second thought?

Keep your heads in the sand then but they will be ashamed of their stupidity when the truth finally outs

Answer 14

What many people don't seem to get is it is Bigger than Bush.  Bush is involved but it's the real Power elites that are above the government who are behind 9/11.  The Council on Foreign Relations Members, the Builderbergers, and the Trilateral Commission Members... all interconnected.. and all are apart of the plan to Terrorize the citizens of this country.. breaking our middle class and gaining total control over us.  It's working pretty well for them at the present.

Answer 15

Griffen is an idiot.

"This is conveyed through signals that involve the rocking of the military planes’ wings. If the wayward plane does not respond it is shot at or taken down with a missile. Why then were the flights able to fly around in monitored airspace, hitting buildings, and not be shot down first?"

I laughed when I saw this.  You make it sound like shooting down a commercial passenger liner by a military jet is something we do over our airspace everyday.  

You essay is full of this type of stuff.

Remember facts can be twisted.  A good example of how facts can be twisted is with DHMO.  This compound is extremely dangerous.  In liquid form it kills thousands a year, including children and infants.  It's a major component of acid rain.  It's used in US navy ships, and in nuclear reactors.  It's also present in baby food!

Everything I've told you is true, no lies, but DHMO is also dyhydrogen monoxide, or, if you wish to use the common term, water.

This is why I rarely believe in conspiracies, I know how easy it is to twist 'facts' to make it sound like I wish it to.

One thing to be very careful of when reading conspiracy arguments is the '...' symbol.  It means they left something out, and it's generally quite important.

In a novel idea, question the conspiracy as well.  Find other articles that challenge the view of them as well.  It might open your eyes.
