Which conspiracy do you believe, by the way? There were two distinct ones outlined in your material. One is that the U.S. government did the attack itself. The other is that our intelligence failures allowed the attacks to occur.
I have read over many such lists of "references" for theories on Pearl Harbor, the Bay of Pigs, school desegregation and the civil rights movement, the assinations of JFK, MLK, RFK, the moon landings, Kent State, Watergate, the attempted assination of Reagan, the death of Princess Di, the "Bill Clinton is a Moscow-Train Communist" school, gawdamitey, I gotta quit - I've read far too much of this shit myself. I think there is a formula more patent than a Tom Clancy novel or Rocky Movie for these things. Warnings from other countries, special U.S. agents in jail in foreign countries, obscure aids to famous people who know everything, secret documents ...
All of the sites that you sent me to would have been far better reading back in the day when I smoked pot. As it stands, mind altered only by my last cup of coffee for the day - it's shit, and not very good shit either. Some of it is serious reporting, most of it is paranoid delusions. I personally think it means NOTHING.

I am on the same boat as you. I too, have read all of the same conspiracy theories that you have read. Any time there is an event of note, the conspiracy theorists go to work and publish their books, articles, papers, etc. I read most of their theories. I enjoy good fiction, unfortunately some of it is quite bad fiction, but even good fiction, still is fiction.
Well I would like to stay and play on the board today, but I have to go out of town. My back is pretty much back to normal, my mom went to stay with my brother for a few days, so I have some business to catch up on. I don't fly anymore (no not because of 9/11), but because of my back. I cannot sit for long periods of time, so I travel in my motor home. Usually I have a driver but not today. I can pull over if I have too, and I have too, and stretch my self. I hit all of the rest stops and walk around a bit. It takes forever for me to get somewhere. |
