9/11 Six Years Later & the Obfuscation of Facts (AirAmirica)

9/11 Six Years Later & the Obfuscation of Facts Thanks to the So-Called Conspiracy Theorists
By Lionel on September 11, 2007 - 11:54am

Six years ago today the 9/11 conspiracy theorist was born. Translation: the tin foil hat-wearin', full-fledged, Elvis is alive, Area 51, Loch Ness Monster, crop circle nut case. The idiot, the crazed loon who would dare think that either (a) the government or a contingent thereof was somehow involved in 9/11 either by letting it happen or making it happen (the LIHOP and MIHOP theories that I don't care to explain) or (b) the full account of what happened that beautiful Tuesday morning is at best incomplete. I'm in the latter group.

And while our country's history is replete with references to lies that enabled us to enter into war, viz. the sinking of The Maine, Pearl Harbor, the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, not to mention miscellaneous acts of varying terrorism from the JFK and RFK assassinations, Watergate and the impeachment of the greatest President in my lifetime for giving in to the advances of a zaftig fellatrix, I realize that anything is possible but there just simply isn't any credible evidence that this administration was involved in any acts attendant to 9/11 including the favorite theory of a controlled demolition.

That's not to say none of that happened, I'm merely saying there's nothing to indicate this administration's complicity in ordering such or looking the other way. Could an administration have been sick enough to do such? Absolutely. Again, history shows us that to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs. Pearl Harbor was necessary for FDR to get us into WWII and if that took two and a half thousand American deaths, then let the eggs break. You do know that we knew about Pearl Harbor, don't you? Hell, we hoped that Japan would attack Pearl and that Hitler would be stupid enough to honor the Tripartite Act. It did and he was. Or do you think that's a conspiracy theory also? If you're in the Bill O'Reilly set you maintain this naiveté and shudder upon thinking that Uncle Sam could be so nefarious.

The question you must ask is whether the conspiracy that people speak of is in fact possible.


Very interesting article and highly recommended: Much more at source: http://www.airamerica.com/node/5121

1. what sucks is that people automatically lump tinfoilers and questioners in the same group
They are not doing the same thing.
