It's not restricted to conspiracy sites though - and no I don't have all the answers. What I know is that there was never a criminal investigation into the crime of the millenium and that the official story we have been fed is so full of holes as to be laughable.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I certainly do not disbelieve the testimony of the firefighters who were actually there that there were multiple secondary explosions - this was buried and/or ignored by the NIST "investigation" ergo there WAS what amounts to a cover up. I can understand people finding it hard to swallow - took me years of visiting and revisiting the matter for the penny finally to drop.

1) It obviously came from ANOTHER aircraft.
2) George W Bush accidentally taped over the footage with 2 episodes of Benson and 1 episode of Alf.
3) It was the T-1000 from Terminator 2 sent back to stop Arnie becoming the Governator.
4) Concussive shock and damage to hearing of the firefighters from the first explosion lead them to think they were hearding more explosions....
5) Cos Osama Bin Laden is actually Barack Obama, without the beard.
6) You think if the Pentagon couldn't even manage it's own budget it could organise something as complicated as this?!? Also the odds would probably be 1 in 7.
7) Plenty of expert evidence since the incident as to how the construction of the towers would lead to their collapse as shown when hit by aircraft. It's more to do with the way teh building is structurally connected back to it's core and the excessive heat caused by the aviation fuel burning that would never have been taken into account during design of the building.
8) Have you met any Americans? Do many of them give you the air of confidence they could manage to tie their own shoelaces never mind organise this?!
9) Both Biggles and Dan Dare are fictional characters...
10) You do know there is a time difference between USA and UK, am sure the BBC announced many things several hours ahead of local NYC time...Last edited by Iain G; 14-11-2017 at 12:22 PM.

They said molten aluminium from the aircraft flown by the terrorists combined with water from fire sprinklers and caused a powerful explosion“
Makes a lot more sense to me than some plot to blow the building up which would have required months to execute without being caught and took me 30 seconds to find

The problem I have with conspiracy theories in general is that they don't take into account humans, humans in general cannae hud their water, the more people involved in any theory means the more likely that someone will blab about it. In regards to 911 there are holes in the US administrations story, but to leap from that to it was planned and carried out by the government at the time is a huge leap (remember George W was in charge back then). It is far more likely that some folk didn't do their jobs properly and typical to those in power they chose to hid it rather than 'fess up.
Anyway, as previously stated, if this is going to be a 911 thread can we move it to the holy ground or can we get it back on track and discuss the FLA and their attempts to recruit from our support, which is a topic well worthy of discussion on a football board?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

very funny.
Re No 10 (as you do actually appear to be serious here!) the reporter was on the spot in New York with building 7 clearly visible over her left shoulder when she announced it's unexpected "collapse" 20 minutes ahead of script.

A broader point is that conspiracy theories overestimate the competence and discretion of officials and bureaucracies, who are assumed to be able to make and carry out sophisticated secret plans, despite abundant evidence that in open societies government action does not usually remain secret for very long.20 Recall that a distinctive feature of conspiracy theories is that they attribute immense power to the agents of the conspiracy; the attribution is usually implausible but also makes the theories especially vulnerable to challenge. Consider all the work that must be done to hide and to cover up the government’s role in producing a terrorist attack on its own territory, or in arranging to kill political opponents. In a closed society, secrets are not difficult to keep, and distrust of official accounts makes a great deal of sense. In such societies, conspiracy theories are both more likely to be true and harder to show to be false in light of available information.21 But when the press is free, and when checks and balances are in force, government cannot easily keep its conspiracies hidden for long. These points do not mean that it is logically impossible, even in free societies, that conspiracy theories are true. But it does mean that institutional checks make it unlikely, in such societies, that powerful groups can keep dark secrets for extended periods, at least if those secrets involve important events with major social salience.
An especially useful account suggests that what makes (unjustified) conspiracy theories unjustified is that those who accept them must also accept a kind of spreading distrust of all knowledge-producing institutions, in a way that makes it difficult to believe anything at all.22 To think, for example, that U.S. government officials destroyed the World Trade Center and then covered their tracks requires an ever-widening conspiracy theory, in which the 9/11 Commission, congressional leaders, the FBI, and the media were either participants in or dupes of the conspiracy. But anyone who believed that would undercut the grounds for many of their other beliefs, which are warranted only by trust in the knowledge-producing institutions created by government and society. How many other things must not be believed, if we are not to believe something accepted by so many diverse actors? There may not be a logical contradiction here, but conspiracy theorists might well have to question a number of propositions that they seem willing to take for granted. As Robert Anton Wilson notes of the conspiracy theories advanced by Holocaust deniers, “a conspiracy that can deceive us about 6,000,000 deaths can deceive us about anything, and [then] it takes a great leap of faith for Holocaust Revisionists to believe World War II happened at all, or that Franklin Roosevelt did serve as President from 1933 to 1945, or that Marilyn Monroe was more ‘real’ than King Kong or Donald Duck.

They rely on the lazy thinking and credulousness of the majority of the population not to face up to the truth in front of them because it makes them feel uncomfortable. And it works - up to a point...

I followed your link, and went trhough the first dozen or so. Where there are abstracts, they dont strongly suggest support for the conspiracies. The vast majority are not scientific journals, and therefore not subject to peer review. The only article with significant acadwmic crwdentials that seemed to support an inside job was surrounding stock market activity after 9/11, but that tried to retrofit actions to meet the conclusion.
I'd suggest yoy maybe critically read your own references. Im not sure the acceptance the Journal of Anarchist Studies on Cultural Development has as a reliable academic source.
Oh, and if the tin hat fits, wear it.

If we are able to paint each side with broad strokes then in my mind conspiracy theorists seem to:
1. Enjoy the fact that they’re cognisant of things which no-one else is, giving them a sense of superiority. A placebo, mind.
2. Are uncomfortable with the idea that not everything is controlled.Last edited by SRHibs; 14-11-2017 at 01:36 PM.

Conspiracy - doesn't hold up because people can't keep secrets and they aren't skilled enough to carry out whatever happened.
Atrocity - completely believable because this particular group of people could keep secrets and had the skills to carry it out.
I just don't know who to believe now.

Funny thing about the cod psychology you describe though is it can very easily be turned around and applied in the opposite direction with the following slight adjustment - psychological profile of people afraid to think outside the accepted societal norm:
1. Enjoy the fact they are cognisant of things which nearly everyone else is, giving them a sense of comfort. A Placebo mind.
2. Are uncomfortable with the idea that not everything is controlled.
However, I tend to think that the real reason most people are reluctant to think outside the box is that they have busy lives and in any case feel powerless to change anything and therefore never look beyond the end of their noses.

Your point that we're all blind and that until we see exactly what you see is a tad arrogant, I'd suggest.
Incidentally, what do you actually believe did happen on 9/11?

Given that the main proponents of this story were George W Bush's government - the core of which hailed from a far right organisation called the "Project for a New American Century" who's tenets called for "full spectrum dominance" of the world by the USA accompanied by "regime change" in multiple nations - and who also stated that a "New Pearl Harbour" event would likely be necessary to prepare US public opinion to allow this to happen. Also given the $3.5 Trillion that was found to have disappeared from the Pentagon budget shortly before 911 and the fact that the investigation into this and it's data were destroyed by the twin strikes on the Pentagon and WTC7 - well you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to start pointing the big finger of suspicion at George W Bush (and family), Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Paul Wofowitz and their PNAC associates.
If you add to this the complicity of Cheney and Rumsfeld in ensuring no interceptors could get in the way, the refusal after 16 years plus of the US authorities to release evidence that could shut all us skeptics up straight away (ie video footage from around the Pentagon and within the airport) then it's little wonder that questions are still being asked and so they should be. To be exact, my suspicions are upon ELEMENTS of the then US government and their associates. However, the actions of subsequent administrations would suggest that they know damn fine well what happened but do not believe it's in their interests to come clean.
