O/T 9/11 conspiracy theories

[Nem]

I can just see Bush and his cronies sat round a meeting table.

Rumsfeld - 'Hey George, I got a swell idea that will let us bomb the poo out of the middle east.'

Bush - 'Really Don, that's great, let's hear it.'

Rumsfeld - 'Well, we blow up the World Trade Centre.'

Bush - 'Whaddya mean Don? The World Trade Centre is a symbol of everything we stand for. We can't just blow it up.'

Rumsfeld - 'Wait, I haven't got to the good bit yet; we make it look like some crazy Arabs flew passenger jets into them. That way Larry get his insurance money, everybody hates the Arabs and we can bomb 'em silly.'

Bush - 'Gee, that's a swell idea Don, let's do it!'

All I'm saying is that the news people will have stopped circulating the story when they realised they were being fed a line by an attention seeking nutter.

[Newmanseye]

I dont think flaming Wardonkey helps your argument BT but War has a valid opinion, I think you are looking too hard for the conspiracy and making some pretty big leaps to come to your conclusions.


For every argument you put forth i can find another to dismiss it if I look hard enough.

[BigTomatoes]

 im not flaming anybody , have a look instead of dismissing it as rubbish

do you not understand he is the director of a private company which were doing drills on that day ?

 not an attention seeking nutter

 i respect other peoples opinions , im just trying to let people know a few things they might not have seen in mainstream media

I think youll find that its the same same with your posts, thats what Wardonkey is saying, you can dig up anything in the T'internet to contradict a statement, as i said earlier where on that round-about still

gonnae someone build us a slip road!

[Wardonkey]

Ok, I watched the video. The bloke does not seem to be an 'attention seeking nutter'.

I fail to see how the video suggests that there is any conspiracy or cover-up. There must be hundreds of people working on crisis management every day and most of it will centre around potential disruption of transport services. I'd say it was odds on, rather than unfeasably coincidental, that a group was working on a contingency plan in case of an attack on the capital's rail system.

[SupaMonkey]

Isn't it more likely that the terrorists knew about the drills and then coincided their attacks with them.

[Wardonkey]

He only said they were 'planning drills'. He did not give exact locations.

The piece was probably dropped because it was not very interesting and added nothing of value.

To Dave and tomatoes,

I can get behind most ideas for a conspiracy theory and admit that there is something to it. The moon landing is one that intrigues me a lot. the idea of a "shooter on the grassy nole" is ridiculous but of course a link can be made to someone who might have used Oswald for the assasination...I don't really care either way about that one.

However for people to claim that the Bush administration was the brains behind 9-11 is ridiculous (you could make a much stronger case for them deliberately ignoring it but most conspiracy nutters don't like to use their brains themselves and always want to take it one step too far) and rather offensive. And to then claim that Blair and Co. were behind the 7-7 attacks??? COME ON! How much evidence do you need?

Again, conspiracy theories are great but they do have to make a bit of sense and you shouldn't lose all sense of reality simply because you desperately want to prove someone is evil and that it's a crazy world out there as you are not doing yourself, or your cause, any favours by doing so.

and no one has mentioned the biggest cover up of them all yet ... the death of Princess Diana

I reckon she was actually found dead on the toilet from a heroine overdose..surrounded by smack and big macs...as the royal family didn't want this known they killed Dodi and then drove the merc into a wall.

 i dont have a cause, these are just my beliefs and opinions.

 governments have used staged terror attacks or false flag operations for hundreds of years to help their cause

 i could give hundreds of examples

 nazis burning the reichstag and blaming the poles as a pretext for invasion is just one example

 i havent lost my sense of reality , im very aware of what and who are real , and who arent

 i just believe these are the kind of things going on today and people should know about it and educate themselves

 or 10 , 20 years down the line ill be saying , ' told you so '

I love a good conspiracy as much as the next man, but it's amazing how much an overload of conspiracy talk can make my eyes glaze over. This is probably a tactic of the people behind the conspiracies - ensure there is so much information and so many theories that it all descends into noise.

Anyway, I will throw this into the pot.

I'm sure you all remember The X-Files, and the Lone Gunmen, who were the three oddballs that Mulder and Scully would go and see to get files unencrypted, seek info about classified aircraft and whatnot. What is less well-known is that they had their own spinoff series towards the end of the X-Files' run.

The pilot episode's plot centred around the Lone Gunmen uncovering a plot by a secret US Government agency to fake the hijacking of a commercial airplane, and fly it, via remote control, into the World Trade Centre. The attack would be blamed on a Middle-Eastern country and used as a pretext to invade the country, thus ensuring US access to that country's oil.

The episode was broadcast on 4th March 2001...

This is in poor taste.





I still say it was aliens. Xagoneeb from the planet Zeeb told me that they were behind 7/7, but i think he is socailly insecure and i think he was just saying it to feel self important.

Diana was killed because she was the only person who knew Tikay's real age.
