If it was rigged for demolition, why didn't anyone notice all those people working on that for days inside the building? Why bother to run aircraft into the building and not just bring it down with a bomb, just as it was tried before in the first attempt, years prior?
Why not just craft a video showing shifty types leaving the scene in a van?Does the conspiracy still exist? Are reptiles involved?

Almost everything we've been told about al Qaeda is wrong.

Part I:

Politics - The Power of Nightmares, (Part 1/3), “Baby it's Cold Outside“

Wow, a real live multiple conspiracy fan. Thanks for the heads up, you just lost any small amount of credibility you might have had here.

So I gave the first video a glance. I couldn't even make it past 1:15 without hearing "the threat from terrorism has been distorted, and is a fantasy." Seriously?

I dare you to walk up to a survivor or a family member who had a loved one die on 9-11 and say that to their face.

How can you give these videos any credibility when that is the first point they make? The threat is real and on-going.

Like you, I don't agree with how our government or politicians are handling these threats. But just because of that, doesn't mean that the threat doesn't exist.

The most revealing thing about this "conspiracy" is the attribution of evil to only one side, while the other side gets a pass for the continuation of identical policy. There is a motive and it is crystal clear, as clear as the bright azure of a summer sky, but somehow overlooked.
The one eyed man is King in the land of the blind.

You misquoted by omission.

Actually, the vast majority of 9-11 victim families/survivors want another investigation by an independant body with the authority to subpoena. Judging by your tone, I'm sure they enjoy your total and unwavering support.

9/11: Press for Truth

9-11 was the biggest "Don't ask - don't tell" and if it wasn't for the families, we wouldn't have anything...and that's very frightening.

Let them reinvestigate. I'm extremely confident that in the end, the findings will mirror that of which we already know.

Seems to be an awful lot of that going around, along with ignoring facts and worrying about evil genius takeovers of the world, inability to reach a logical conclusion and a general sense of persecution.

It reminds me of why card tricks, magic and technology are so impressive to savages-they get wrapped up in distraction and misdirection.

The problem isn't a conspiracy, it is the day to day refusal to accept responsibility, giving away your freedoms and choice and property in the hope that someone can lead you to some utopia. This happens with your consent, even your encouragement and eventually you start to wonder where it all went. Misdirection. Highly effective.
It has worked for centuries and most are none the wiser.

For most of us, it is not a group of evil conspirators controlling a destiny leaning toward distopia, it is ourselves.

Jungle,

I am now confused...

So does this mean that Dr Evil wasn't real?
