9/11 what actually happened?

Post by The Situation » Wed Mar 07, 2012 3:31 pm

I'm aware that I'm probably about to start world war 3 here with such a controversial topic but I want to see what all you guys think?

Was the widely accepted account that the September 11 attacks were perpetrated solely by al-Qaeda without any detailed advanced knowledge on the part of any government agency correct, or is there something fishy going on and the conspiracy theories that disagree with the said offical verdict correct?
Have your say.

Planes were crashed into buildings, the world realised that the US defense is not as amazing and ultra intelligent as every conspiracy theorist thought it was and their response was to therefore delve into deeper conspiracies to maintain their beliefs.

It was Al-Qaeda who perpetrated the attacks. The amount of people and resources needed for the US government to secretly demolish the towers in the guise of a terrorist attack is just to large, someone would have spoken out by now who was involved it would take thousands of people. That and the fact they would have to do it in two of the busiest offices in the world with no one who wasnt in on it noticing. The planes destroyed those buildings and it was Al-Qaeda, the real question is whether they were indirectly helped by the elements US government, or herded towards doing this by them, which while more likely is still improbable.

Theres a conspiracy video, that shows one of the planes looking like it was firing a missile milliseconds before actually making any contact with the building.

And if you zoom in really close, you can just make out Queen Elizabeth's space lizard father as the pilot.

Regardless of how it happened, the US capitalised on it wonderfully, for their motives at least...

I'm basically open to all ideas.

There were too many things that didn't add up for my liking.

This. It gave them the reason that they were looking for to go to war. I am also of the opinion that bin laden wouldn't have been as powerful if it wasn't for the US government.

Well would I be right in saying they armed him and his organisation against the Russian invasion?

You would, back when they were called freedom fighters.

Yeah but it's not so much an opinion anymore when it's blatantly obvious fact.

I find some of it strange, like how they found one of terrorists passports.

Lots of things don't add up, but it's unthinkable that a government could do that to its own citizens.

They have no qualms about sending citizens to kill and die for oil.

The people in them buildings were innocent people working, they weren't soldiers who decide to fight for their country.
