Re: 9/11
No. If you can prove it otherwise... keep it to yourself. It's boring to hear 9/11 truthers all the time. Just deal with it. -

Re: 9/11It was an inside job orchestrated by McDonalds in order to expand their global dictatorship, currently standing at 121 countries under control. McDonalds opened their first branch in Iraq three years after finally persuading Bush to invade. Obama is gearing up for war against Iran so McDonalds can reopen the Tehran branch they tried to open in 1994.

I'm pretty sure it has been disproven by science, but it did help get George Dub'ya Bush elected for a second term... -

Re: 9/11Some things do stand out as not looking right.
wtc7 - For starters most people don't know about it as the media flooded us with images of the twin towers and then the pentagon. Yet this building was barely reported on and even falsely reported on by the BBC collapsing before it had done (Which they confirmed they had done).
The explanation for it falling is that it was hit by debris and fires, there were multiple buildings that got hit by debris (much worst than wtc7) yet they did not collapse and videos showing it before it collapsed it appeared fine structurally.
Then the other part of the official explanation was fires, which is saying that a fire managed to uniformly weaken all structural pillars holding the building up so it fell at free fall speed. Anyone who has seen a fire knows that the random nature of it shows that this explanation is ridiculous, let alone that no steel high rise building has ever been brought down by fires.
Secondly the Pentagon, the footage does show something hitting the pentagon which is way too small to have been an airliner blink and you miss it.
There is way more once you start looking into it, but for me wtc7 was enough to question it. Don't let the thought of how ridiculous it is to attack yourself to throw out all speculation of it.
The image of 9/11 truthers is a bad one ofcourse for a lot of people, with the tin foil hat image springing up. However it is not only them who have spoken out
Andres Von Bulow - German MP
Francesco Cossiga -Former Italian prime minister
Lee Hamilton - Vice chairman of 9/11 commission

And even the families of those who lost someone in the attack.

Im sure a lot of you are also have read 1984, putting us in a state of fear and taking our freedoms. Well if you look at what has happened since 9/11 it is shocking.Last edited by Fides; 31-08-2012 at 18:53. -

Re: 9/11People always jump to conspiracy theories whenever a government is being shady when often the simple truth it that it's just the government being shady. Yes, the Bush administration knew that 9/11 might happen. There were warnings about it that they didn't pay attention to because they thought it wasn't a serious threat. 9/11 could have been avoided. That doesn't make it an inside job, it just means the government was being stupid about it and their mistakes cost almost 3000 people their lives.

Re: 9/11Oh and forgot a really interesting video by the Vice Chairman of the 9/11 commission.

A lot of you on here saying conspiracy theories are crazy are taking your arguments from points of ignorance most likely, if you look into it more it does become more suspicious. -

Re: 9/11I watched a 'myth busting' documentary on 9/11 conspiracies, and I hold my hands up and admit, that prior to watching it I did think that maybe the US Government had some involvement. By the end of the documentary, I had completely changed my mind.
As 'Cannotbelieveit' has just said, the number of people who would have to be sworn to secrecy had it been an inside job, well it'd be huge. The documentary said the numbers would most likely run into tens of thousands, when factoring in all the different kind of personnel who would need to have been involved.
Had it been an inside job, at least one person would have found their guilt eating away at them by now, and surely would have come clean? Well I think so anyway. -

Re: 9/11the US government were willing to kill over 2000 and over 4000 of their own people in afghanistan and iraq.(Original post by Cannotbelieveit)
No, the US Government did not kill 3,000 of their own people...
You'd have to be real stupid to believe it was an inside job, the amount of people that would have to be sworn to secrecy would be insane.
the US government is willing to kill its own people for votes and money
