9/11 Conspiracy Nuts?

In return they are going to give us cures for AIDS, cancer, herpes, etc and an unlimited energy source that we won't unveil until the oil companies have completely sucked this planet dry of crude. They first made contact with Magic Johnson, cured him of AIDS and used him as a spokesman to further their goals.

Tight. I'm in line with this.

You know what's funny? I know you threw together the most off-the-wall and crazy situations you could think of to make that post.

And yet:

I have actually heard some theorists that believe in a scenario eerily similar to what you just described (like 95% of what you just said). Throw in a 2012 reference and something about chem-trails and you'd have it.

The craziest part is they actually believe it!

Before then we didn't ever expect to have planes fly into buildings did we?

Nope.

nothing surprises me... the things that otherwise rational people are willing to believe are epic.

He forgot to add the part about empty prison camps with inward-facing barbed wire that are popping up all around the country. These are going to be used to "intern" political prisoners and other inferior people, while the Bildenbergs, Free Masons, and other superior people who are conspiring with the aliens to create a one-world government.

No. Before 9/11 terrorists hijacked airliners for the people. The aircraft just happened to be a place with a lot of confined people that was difficult to attack. Terrorists tried essentially the same thing with a cruise ship and the Israeli Olympic team in Munich. Even with bombings like Pan-Am 103 the aircraft just happened to be something easily damaged by a small bomb that would kill a lot of people. 9/11 is the first hijacking I am aware of where the aircraft itself was the goal while the people aboard were incidental.

Somebody, somewhere, in the US Govt had to have some sort of info about this prior to 9/11.

Could it just not gotten to the "right people" in time to be thwarted?
Could they have thought the perpetrators actually incapable of completing the task?

This.

I suppose there has to be a third camp.
LIHDtGN - Let It Happen Due to Gross Negligence

As for where I stand on this issue, I think the real conspiracy is less about the event itself and more about how our government took advantage of the resulting fear, uncertainty, and outrage.
It's the best sort of conspiracy because it's the one that could be carried out right out in the open, and only the paranoid and 'unAmerican' would dare question the motives.

The whole WTC 7 shit is just stupid. If they really wanted to take out paper and computer trails, there is the delete button and paper shredders. Why risk hard drives and paper being recovered in the debris...

I don't think the government played any part in organizing the 9/11 attacks, rather some people in the CIA knew about it and did not stop it.

How do you explain going into IRAQ when 17 of the 19 highjackers were Saudis? You only need a reason..then you get the funding if you get my drift.

All governments contain large amounts of fraud because they are easy to hide behind combined with the fact that money transfer is always to be had when you have a large population to pool from.

The Eygptians thousands of years ago had carvings in stone of spaceships when there were no airplanes. Just sayin...
