9/11 conspiracy theories

[1] What caused the fall of WTC#7? It was not struck by debris, yet it fell. Coincidence?

[2] Why was NO aircraft debris ever discovered at the Pentagon site or the Shanksville site? Coincidence?

[3] Why do the events of 9/11 and 10/26/2001 so closely parallel the Reichstag Fire and the Enabling act of 1933? Coincidence?

[4] Why did the US intelligence community and VP Cheney obstruct a non-partisan congressional investigation of the events of 9/11? In any normal criminal investigation this act would otherwise be considered criminal all by itself. Coincidence?

[5] Why were arab terrorists that participated in 9/11 actually living in the home of FBI agents as their guests? Coincidence?

These last two items are verified by the congressional committee that investigated events and persons involved in 9/11. (source; INTELLIGENCE MATTERS by Senator Bob Graham)

It is not internet rumor and it is not supermarket tabloid gibberish. It is fact that cannot [ignored] as being insane conspiracy theorists.
Question for debate: Can these issues be explained without conspiracy theories?

All big conspiracy theories are false.

Benjamin Franklin said, “Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead.� Conspiracy theories require a large number of people to keep a massive secret over a long period of time. This simply can’t be done.

A conspiracy theory is "just a theory". Evolution is "just a theory". Evolution is true, therefore 911 conspiracy theories are true.

I think my medication is wearing off.

It's not strictly true that they depend on lots of people keeping a secret. They depend on the secret not being believed when it does come out. Let an uncomfortable truth be labeled a 'conspiracy theory' and anyone putting that truth forward will be dismissed as a nut.

The best reason not to believe most conspiracy theories is that they rely on the government being more competent than they are. When the US and UK governments did try to lie to their people big time - over Iraqs non-existent weapons of mass destruction - it was an embarrassing fiasco.

I think people like conspiracy theories because they don't like the idea that things some times 'just happen'. The same mentality applies to certain theists. The idea that someone - a god or a cabal of oligarchs - is in control is more comforting than the idea of a universe ruled by random chance.

I agree with you that the state isn't competent enough to pull this kind of thing off, at least the way truthers describe it.

And you're right that people want to cling to something that explains why 9/11 happened.

But 9/11 didn't happen by random chance. Nothing does apart from the subatomic level, because we live in a cause and effect world, which only seems random via intuition. There were warnings ahead of time that indicated something was going to happen, and of course bin Laden orchestrated the attack for a reason -- many of those reasons were grievances against US foreign policy in the region. If you actually listen to the motives of terrorists, you'll find out that this is typically the case.

I agree that the puppets who we think are running the 'state' isn't competent to pull this kind of thing off, but those Power Elite are. The rest, the millions who work for them behind the scenes are paid off, rewarded with gifts, enjoy running corrupt businesses with absolutely no rules, enjoy special engagements where they are called ahead of time and get to watch these kind of horrors in front-row seats.

The Elite, the Illuminated Ones, those who took the chunk out of the Apple (like Eve did) never intended this to be some kind of secret, .. that would defy the whole purpose of doing such elaborate scheme. It was a clear show of power, and the pitiful lies to justify 9-11 AND what came after with the war on Iraq was intentional also.
Those that continue to defend these kind of horrific acts are doing it for a reward, or the reward is in the FUN of watching people still talk about it.

Of course it didn't happen by random chance, it was carefully orchestrated and even hinted on in movies many years before it happened. The only lingering fun they are having now after many years is listening to these Conspiracy theories, which they keep fueling by releasing more discriminating evidence to the public.
I mean hey, .. which cat doesn't like to play with the mouse, .. isn't that right?

Oh please stop, ... I mean Bin Laden is dead, or so they say? Besides, who cares. But don't you get tired of repeating Bin Laden's name already? I mean it was interesting when we had nothing but a loop-film showing some Photoshop planes flying into the buildings over, and over, and over again, and all those videos that supposedly shown the planes flying into the buildings were so obvious, .. I mean you see the camera focus on the building for up to 15 seconds, and then BAM, the planes hit.. lol, I mean hmm... how did these people know that planes will come and hit the buildings? Gosh, I wonder?

Hey, we all know the truth, and we get the message, you guys rule the world, I would not deny that.

It's only those that live in your Video Gaming world who still cling on to these weak lies.

As I said, they are weak because they were meant to be weak, so the message would be loud and clear to the sheep of this world (worldly sheep) as to who their ruler is. I mean come on, look at the themes of Video games, movies, Internet pornography, the made-up instigated wars, all the blood and gore, Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Warlocks, spells and enchantments both in the Video-world and in reality the cultic symbols. I mean who could deny as to who rules this present world?

Besides we both know (both sides) that there were no planes involved!
The three buildings came down by mini-nukes, that is why they call the site 'Ground Zero'!

The two pools that were built over the sites are not pools at all, but cooling systems that continuously keep running to keep the heat that is still present after many years from becoming TOO obvious.

The New building was planned a long time ago to represent the two-in-one mergence of the DNA strands, one from human and the other from the abiss, from the demonic world depicting the 'Dark Knight Rising'! A NEW WORLD where Chaos Reigns, a World Without Rules (see the Dark Knight Rising and other recent movies/video games for further information and instruction what to expect and do next)

But know this, the time is clicking and the Dark Knight (who the world is welcoming) knows his time is short. So with all his already trained armies of millions upon millions of Video Gamers, brain-washed zombies are getting ready for that final battle to destroy as many human lives as he can so he may take their souls with him to hell, where he will torment them day-and-night forever and ever.

Matthew 24:21
For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Matthew 26:64 Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.�


So go ahead and enjoy while you 'un-truthers' can, and if todays Video Games are any indication of what's coming up next, dear God, for truly if these days weren't shortened, NO FLESH WOULD BE SAVED;

Matthew 24:22
And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.


.. and I for one thank the Lord for it.
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil
to one who is striking at the root.

Regarding those WMD'S;
I think Syria found 'em, don't you?

Or rather, Obama seems to think so.

This is a pretty ignorant post. Is this something that Fox News is spewing? All evidence points to the fact that "Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991. There are no credible indications that Baghdad resumed production of chemical munitions thereafter."[1]

That's called "SARCASM."

As in...I guess I should be more careful about using emoticons. I wouldn't have thought it necessary, but then I forgot that you tend to judge a post by the writer (whether you like/agree with him/her or not) rather than by the content.

Here's a clue: the above was, er, sarcasm. You know, a comment on the situation...and the hypocritical, considerably in over his head, policies Obama is finding himself in right now, NOT a claim that Iraq's WMD's were moved to Syria.

Though, come to think of it, I am also a bit bemused that you take anything that the CIA has put on its public website all that seriously. It strikes me as making about as much sense as believing the IRS when it says "we aren't targeting anybody and we're here to help the taxpayer," or any government agency that says "we're here to help you."

Yes Jax, I believe even that little incident with John and Yoko was pre-planned by the Illuminated Ones, and so was his sacrificial death. Just like Marilyn Monroe and all those many others were.

What is amazing to me is just how long ago this was pre-planned? It seems that if we are not aware, we are all candidates to fulfill a certain aspect of Satans plan, just as God uses those who serve Him to fulfill certain parts of His plan.

The Last Great War is brewing, and the soldiers have been training right in our very homes, our kids playing those Blood-and-guts shoot-em-up video games. What better way to train an army who would kill the members of their own family when instructed to, by instinct?

* First it was that 'you too can be God', but since that kept failing miserably
* then the huge step from One God to 'many gods'.
* still not satisfied, then the Theory of Evolution, where man is reduced to an animal
* to train this now human-animals, this is where the Movies and Video games finally come in, and presto we have millions and millions of human-animals who can without a second thought kill friends, family, men, women and children of any nationality, race and creed.

Satan is ready with his army, .. which side are we on?

I would not say 'all conspiracy theories are false'. I would say that the vast majority of them are. There are so many conspiracy theories, sooner or later one will be right, just out of pure random chance.
