9-11 Governmental Conspiracy Theories

by Harmony

There's a couple of videos going around right now. Both are by the same person, both are bunk, in my opinion.

Firstly, he tries to show the second plane with a missile launching just before impact. To prove his point he doctors the footage to show what it's supposed to look like. If it wasn't a missile the initial explosion would have been in one place instead of the other. He doctors the footage to show where and how the explosion should have been. Great way to prove your point, show us how to fix the footage to say what you want it to say. Then promise us that your footage isn't doctored after you show us how easy it is to do. He ignores the fact that a gas line and a spark could have accounted for the odd explosion. But personally, if he doctored the film to show the "proper" way the explosion should have been, well….

Secondly, how often does our government work together? To pull off an attack like that our government would have had to coordinate on innumerable levels. Levels that we know they already don't work together on. The CIA and FBI would have had to coordinate, all branches of the government would have had to be in on it. How did they keep strapping a missile to the bottom of a plane quiet? Did they hire people to pretend they lost loved ones on those flights? Did the rest of the airport personnel take a vacation that day in order to get a missile strapped to the bottom of a plane?

If the government did work together on an attack on our own soil, what would be the greater cause? Did they sacrifice those in the towers and the Pentagon all for oil? And what about flight 93? Are those brave souls who sacrificed themselves for the good of the rest of us now sullied as accomplices?

September 11^th 2001 threw us all for a loop. We were caught off guard. Yes, government agencies knew about the possibility of several attacks from several separate sources. More than just Osama bin Laden. Is the government responsible? Sort of.

How would you have felt if the info on the attacks, or any attacks for that matter, had been released before hand. What if we prepared for that and something else happened instead? Or worse, if the government prepared us for an attack that never came.

In the case of preparation for an attack that we weren't sure of even coming, what would you have thought if we weren't attacked. Or if they released the plans from every group who was thinking about attacking us. Eventually, the government would become "the boy who cried wolf". Then we'd be up in arms because they were constantly "scaring" us.

It's no secret that I hate Duuuh-bya. But his reaction, or lack thereof, in the first few minutes of the attacks was the perfect example of how we all felt at the time. If it was planned, don't you think he could have mustered a better reaction? He was in shock. He didn't know what to do. Did any of you. No. We stockpiled duct tape and potted meat. We plastic wrapped our houses to keep out anthrax and other biological attacks. They were useless efforts that gave us the illusion of safety.

In summary, do I believe that the government knew about the possibility of an attack? Yes. Do I believe that the government perpetrated the attack? No. It would have taken too many people, who don't work together, working together. How did they keep everyone else on the tarmac quiet while they strapped a missile to a plane? The news media had to be involved too. ALL of them. It was really just a cruel joke played on this country by the government, the media, and Osama bin Laden. The American people apparently were the only ones who weren't in on the joke. Does that really sound possible?

Get a grip folks. We are all scared because, after a war, our enemies are still out there. But we can't let that fear ruin us. Don't grab onto every new conspiracy that comes along. By doing this we play right into the hands of the ones who want us afraid of our government. It makes it easier for them.

Think about it.
