I am fed up with conspiracy theorists, but then again there are some big facts, can you guys remind me what they are?

If you mean was the government story about what happened a hoax? Absolutely. But the event itself was all too real ... 3000 people and several buildings are gone.\n\nFor a fantastic documentary exploring many of the questions about what happened 9-11, watch Loose Change.\nGoogle video has it here for free:\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848

I’ve seen all of that as well as others, it simply isn’t true.  The actual facts as well s scientific research make all of these conspiracy theories unsupportable myth.

Geez, can't you find a beter conspiracy than that?\n\nOr, is it that the complete lack of evidence is only further proof the conspiracy is working?

I read parts of the Scientific American cover story debunking 9/11 myths; it was some time ago but it seemed to thoroughly refute all the conspiracy theories it covered.\n\nMany conspiracy theories seem convincing on their face; it's only when you dig deeper that the inherent flaws are revealed.\n\nThe biggest flaw with this and other conspiracy theories is the sheer number of people who would have to be involved in the cover-up.  Hard to believe that so many people could be coerced, bribed, manipulated or forced into this and not one of them would spill the beans -- some secrets are just too good not to tell!

For heaven's sake. You are a total crackpot who believes every nutty story that comes along. Yes, it happened. But idiots like you will never believe it. I wish there was a way to blast people like you into outer space.

He reads too many conspiracy theories.......................

I'm not sure if your first paragraph contained a question or not... I do have enough military experience to know that our government is not nearly as good at keeping secrets as a lot of conspiracy theorists would like us to believe (all these years and not one poor Private First Class stuck on guard duty got drunk and said something?  Uh-huh.).\n\nAs to your last bit, I think we disagree.  I may not believe all that I'm told by druggies, but if someone who uses drugs yells "Look out!  There's a car coming!", I'm likely to look up, and maybe even get out of the way.

Bravo!  I commend you for opening your eyes to the situation.  Prisonplanet should provide you with excellent links to great websites regarding building 7.  I also suggest watching "Loose change".  You can view it for FREE on Google video.

It is most gratifying to read such an eloquent discourse and I whole heartedly agree with the thrust of your most erudite question. The thing is, bless'em they're a bit brain washed you know and believe that there is a worldwide conspiracy against them. Paranoia indeed! The extreme right wing proclivities of this nation are a great concern to me and it is causing the polarising, divisive and skewed nature of US politics today. Of course, the really worrying trend, is that those that are hurt most by this type of hysterical, disabling, right wing thinking are the ones that rush to it's defence when it's under threat! Presumably out of some misguided sense of loyalty or patriotism. No, I'm afraid you're right, America needs to learn to play nicely and have a bit of humility. Terrorism is in large part a result of this rigid, militaristic, right wing foreign policy she has dished out over the last 5 or 6 decades and I can't see it stopping anytime soon. Jules, lecturer.

I have seen several of the conspiracy theory films and they do make me think.\n\nThey insist that the WTC buildings one and two had to have explosive charges placed in them like a controlled demo for them to come down as fast as they did.\n\nThey show, and you can see, puffs of smoke coming out of windows floors below the floors collapsing.  Is this really PROOF that there were explosive charges.  You do not see any flashes with the puffs of smoke.\n\nThey show other tall building fires where they fires lasted longer and the buildings did not collapse.  But in the WTC collapses there were gigantic planes that hit and did a lot of structural damage.  There was also jet fuel that created the fires.  There was a tremendous amount of weight suspended above where the planes hit.  I remember thinking that it was amazing that the buildings did not fall down.  Of course, later they did.\n\nA few years ago (before 9/11/01) there was a 10 floor building being built in Bridgeport CT. There was a construction accident on one of the upper floors and the weight of what fell just massively overwhelmed the support below.  The whole building fell to the ground just like a controlled demo, just like the WTC towers.  There was no bomb, no plane hitting the building, no fire.\n\nI think that there was a lot of damage on the floors where the planes hit.  All it would take would be for one floor to fail and everything above it drops and hits the floor below.  Imagime how much weight that is.  It only gets heavier as it goes.\n\nStill, how the planes and bodies at the Pentagon and in PA completely vaporized makes you wonder.  One film says that flight 93 went to Cleveland and all the passangers were taken off the plane and that even the cell phone calls were fakes.  They do not say what happened to the real passangers after.  Were they all shot?\n\nA lot of the conspiricy theories have as many holes as the supposed cover ups.  Their idea of proof is often pretty lame.

You commented :Could a huge conspiracy like that, which would involve thousands of people, really be kept secret!?\n\nThis should be the biggest evidence AGAINST a conspiracy theory, at least as it applies to a missile or something similar, blowing up the Pentagon instead of the commercial airliner.  The Pentagon is close to several busy traffic routes; these roads were packed with commuters at the time of the crash. There were thousands of people in the office buildings nearby. All of these people became eyewitnesses and if there were any conspiracy, they'd ALL have to have been in on it.  How could it be possible to get every single one of those people to play along?  I just don't get it.\n\nPS--- I was one of the thousands of eyewitnesses and I watched the plane actually hit the Pentagon and even though I've told people my story, they still cling to these conspiracy theories... go figure.

I completely share your beliefs about the entire government being a big conspiracy. Obviously, the REAL government is an underground "shadow government" and the one that poses as our government are members of secret societies. I think that the government conspiracy closely involves secret societies, especially Skull and Bones and the Illuminati.

ok i've watched loose change four times or so now, and spent way too much time reading on various websites, they make some convincing points...but then they ignore alot of stuff as well...like common sense.\n\ncould there be some conspiracy behind 911? yes there could be. is it these theories that are popularly being advanced currently on the web...no\n\nstart at the end and work your way forward: the point of 911 was to destroy some buildings.  there are easier ways for the government to pull this off than to.\nsecretly swap planes in the air for non-passenger drone places, fly two of them into buildings, which they already rigged with additional explosives, secretly land the planes, secretly kill the passengers, fake a plane crash at one location, get voice samples from passengers to load into a computer to produce fake phone calls to loved ones with, then swap one plane for a missle (never mind that some claim this was a smaller drone plane) fire it into the pentagon, get 100 or so people to claim they saw a plane(this is ignored by loose change which uses two of the four people that claimed to not have seen a plane) then run around real fast knocking over the light poles etc...loose change claims a plane couldn't knock over those lamp poles that way, but never tries to explain how they were knocked over, if we assume that not all 100+ witnesses were cia plants, then we have to wonder why no one went, "and there these guys ran around loosening all the bolts on those lamps and pushed them over and ran off! dam kids!"\n\nloose change and other sources also use alot of broadcasts from very early after the attacks took place during which there was alot of confusion about what happened, live news especially while something is happening doesn't always get things 100% correct and uses alot of speculation to fill in time while they figure things out.\n\nloud thuds of things like, say upper floors falling into lower ones, could no doubt sound very much like other explosions going off.\n\nthe list goes on and on, but this post is getting rather long.\n\nok so lets face it, thats one complicated plan to bring down some buildings.  you could just blow them up, blame who ever you wanted to, say you are investigating how security could have been breached to such an extent, and leave it at that.\n\nits just too complicated of a conspiracy, that would take way way too many people to keep their mouths shut.

Conspiracy theories don't exist.  (Shhh.. They'll hear us.)

yeah...'fraid so, sista!  Pyramids on Mars, huh?  oh!...and don't forget the GIANT FACE on Mars!  Keep believing BS without even studying the facts, or wake up to reality- the choice is yours.  Do conspiracy theories make you feel important or something?

Aha, conspiracy theories are great.  The governments of the world are seeking the anihilation of coastal people...Some sites are akin to the National Enquirer, you know.  Did this person see the Virgin Mary on a piece of toast and she told this prophecy?

I've seen all the videos like this. If you honestly believe that, you have some major issues you need to work out in your life. As bad as you think our President is, you must be able to comprehend he wouldn't do that, nor would he be able to get away with it. Don't believe everything you see on the Internet. Believe it or not, some of it's not true. There's an article written by Popular Mechanics called "Debunking the 9/11 myths". This was done by people that actually know what they are talking about-not some idiot in Mommy's basement-and published by a well-respected magazine. You can decide which you're going to believe but I think I'll go with the ones who do that stuff for a living.
