The 9/11 conspiracies

Every September there is a surge in nonsense about the events in the USA on September 11, 2001. This year was no exception and the mad conspiracists of the 911 Truth Movement were out in force. Even outside September a new theory about the events in New York on September 11, 2001 seems to appear almost daily. Here are some of the things I have been told, and many if not most deniers seem to believe that they are all simultaneously true:

  • The buildings were demolished using thermite to cut the supporting beams.
  • The WTC buildings were destroyed by aircraft flown by CIA operatives.
  • The buildings were brought down by demolition charges placed in the foundations of the buildings.
  • None of the aircraft which people assume hit buildings were in the air at the time.
  • All North American air defences were stood down before the attacks so that fighter pilots would not do what they usually do when civilian planes fly over New York or Washington, which is shoot them down.
  • No planes ever fly over the Pentagon because it is a heavily-armed military base. The anti-aircraft guns were turned off for the day.
  • No plane hit the Pentagon. It was a missile and the plane that witnesses saw was a decoy which flew next to the missile to hide it. The plane rose to 350 feet above the building just before the missile impact, and then flew away. Somebody came back later to leave the black box recorder and some passenger body parts in the wreckage.
  • It was the Jews, because some Israeli tourists took videos of the collapsing buildings.
  • George W Bush organised the attacks on the orders of his Zionist masters.
  • Larry Silverstein and Frank Lowy organised the attacks to collect the insurance on the WTC buildings. It is a coincidence that both are Jewish.
  • One of the passengers who fought with the hijackers on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania worked for Oracle. This makes him Jewish because Larry Ellison (the founder of Oracle) is a part-owner of a small Israeli biotech company.
  • There was no plane crash in Pennsylvania because there wasn't enough wreckage. The plane and passengers went somewhere else and have never been heard of again.
  • Larry Ellison offered millions of dollars worth of free software to help with paperwork after the event. This donation shows that he made money out of the tragedy.
  • There were no Arabs flying planes, just Mossad agents.
  • If a plane flew over the White House at 800kph heading for the Pentagon (or vice versa) there would be plenty of time to scramble an attack aircraft and shoot it down before it managed to traverse the 2 kilometres between the buildings.
  • Yellow rivers of molten steel flowed through the rubble. The steel was still molten weeks later.
  • An aluminium aeroplane can't possibly punch a hole in steel building cladding.
  • No steel-framed building has ever collapsed anywhere in the world.
  • Buildings don't collapse because of fire, only when they are blown up.
  • When a fireman says "Pull them out" he is using industry jargon for "Fire the demolition charges".

Did I mention that the 911 Truthers are not just offensive to the memory of the people who died on that day in 2001 but also barking mad and totally resistant to any form of reason or logic? But of course I would say that, seeing as how I used to work for the government doing super secret military research. And that is the truth but I'm not going to say any more about it. I wouldn't want anyone to come to my house in a black helicopter and make me disappear.

I've read some of the "conspiracy theories" online and some people present what seem to be a logical arguement.....what if one or two of them are true? ....it's not enough to dismiss something just because we don't want it to be true.

I've seen "Loose Change" and "911-In Plain Sight". All I can say is keep an open mind, both docs bring up some very interesting points that are hard to overlook.........or watch FOX news all day in the US and believe the hype.

Why is something called a conspiracy, just because it goes against the official BS story. As far as i am concerned, all the so called conspiracies are all true, especially from my research. It is the people that think they are not true are the ones that are being delusional!

Zionist propaganda, people like you, Mr Bowditch, are getting so predictable. It would be almost humorous if it wasn't so hideously tragic. Incidentally, it is the "conspiracy theorist" who seek the truth, that are honoring the dead.... not mindless parrots like you, you are offensive to common decency and intelligence. Enjoy hell.

9/11 was anside job, no doubt. Notice the main stream media doesnt address the fact that more than 50% members of the 9/11 commision report say there was a cover up?.And then they use the old line, ït's so disrespectful to the victims families"when its a large portion of the victims families who want a real investigation? The corperate owned media has no credibility left, hence why people are leaving it in droves.

It amuses me no end that people like 'tomtailor7' et al can mention "common decency", "honouring the dead" all in one sentence and then wish someone to 'hell'.

The attempt by bought and paid for media to debunk what is now becoming painfully obvious to all – the fact that 911 was indeed an inside job – is now at laughable proportions. All but the terminally ignorant have long since arrived that something stinks in all this ... visit www.infowars.com and www.prisonplanet.com and wake up. The Emperor has no clothes!

Clearly there are people still asleep in this world, and that's the real sad truth. Even after they showed you the evidence, you still persist on calling the truth a "conspiracy". The key in these times is to be awake and aware. Peter Bowditch is either asleep, or part of the machine that is doing all of this. By the way Pete, what is offensive is that people died in 911 so that some power hungry group can go to war, and as a result, more young men and women die!

It is easy to dismiss conspiracies as the ravings of crazy people who want to stir up things and the list of theories given here are all rather weird and unlikely. However, sometimes governments do actually get up to no good and behave in a manner that is less than honest or moral. The Bush-Cheney gang had little regard for legal restrictions and it is well known they were rather ruthless in many of their dealings. I would not be too shocked to discover a skeleton in their closet.

I think most sane people would agree that conspiracy theorists ARE delusional. In fact most conspiracy theories start because the mind refuses to believe what it has seen and so blanks the reality out and instead makes up a new version of reality that is more acceptable to the persona of the mind. And after reading some comments here they have convinced quite a few to go along with their delusion. Canucklehead talks about hype, what do you think drives conspiracy theories. PARANOIA people.

Troubl is vmm these people arent finding out the truth, they just refuse to believe that one group of people ( and I use that term loosley) would do this to innocent people.

That lot dont care who they kill as long as thety get what they want.

    A few inconvenient truths:
    The US military has not used anti aircraft guns for years...they have been replaced by missile systems.
    Anti aircraft systems were put in place AFTER 911, and consisted of vehicle mounted stinger systems (AVENGER).
    There is also a national airport less than 2 km so any of these fantasy "automatic anti aircraft systems" located on the roof (which are also strangely absent from google earth) would be shooting planes down left right and center...wake up you

    Sep 17 11:59 am
    mark_rh101

    "There were inactive anti aircraft guns on the Pentagon roof in 2001?"
    I have had a few truthers question me how it was possible for a plane to get near the Pentagon without being shot down.

    "No steel frame building has ever collapsed?"
    A facetious comment.

    "Planes that fly over New York are always shot down?" Isn't that the implication with the complaints about the lack of interception by fighters?

    Sep 17 05:52 pm
    mark_rh101

    "It was the Jews?"
    Many truthers have brought up the story of the dancing Israellis.

    "Molten steel weeks later?" I have seen this on several sites and it has been mentioned to me many times. Steven Jones probably started it.

    "You forgot to mention ALUMINIUM planes!" Well the planes are largely aluminum. If you google you will get plenty of sites questioning how aluminium planes could do such damage.

If you cannot see the that the real conspiracy is the Government story, then you are sadly blinkered in life, dont let the next few years shock you!

    The ae911 site is a joke. They just repeat the claims that have been debunked over and over. If you actually look at the statements made by those that sign up it is clear that many did so with little knowledge of 9/11. There are claims of free fall, molten steel, the 'pull it' quote ect. It is obvious that many have done no research; someone fed them lies so they signed up. Lacking peer reviewed work in reputable engineering journals or any support from the scientific community, the tru

    the truthers are reduced to a list on the internet. Its like facebook.. and not very compelling.

    I am not an engineer, chemist or architect. I do, however, enjoy aircraft of all types and blowing thing up. To think that the WTC was brought down by a controlled demolition is akin to saying that vaccines contain Mercury!

    When a building is imploded with explosives, the preparations will often take weeks of careful planning, tons of explosives and kilometres of cord. In an empty building this is easy. In a structure the size of the WTC that was being occupied, extremely difficult. To d

    Bravo Peter Bowditch. I'm there with you. Though the tide of morons would make Canute puke, we must hold fast.

    Loved the article! Number 5 made me laugh out loud for real! I love it when someone makes a claim about something (truthers are barking mad and resistant to logic) and then people come along and demonstrate that fact in person! This has been a great show!

    My first comment to this site didn't appear, so this is a test to see if this one will. If it doesn't, I'll consider the site broken and won't bother with it.

G'day, I can't find any way of putting a comment on your 911 page, but here it is:

You managed to find the right place.

What about WTC 7? How many 'conspiricy deniers' are even aware of the collapse of this building, and the peculiar way it collapsed (just like the other two)?

I can't imagine that anybody is not aware of the collapse of WTC7. After all, isn't that the building that the conspiracy kooks claim was brought down when the Fire Chief said "Pull it"? There was nothing peculiar about the way it collapsed. It wasn't like the other two though, because they collapsed due to internal damage caused by aircraft crashing into them relatively high in the structures whereas WTC7 had the side torn out of it by debris from the two large towers.

Please do some simple research for yourself about this anomalous event.

If there was anything anomalous about a building falling down because it had been severely damaged by debris from a major collapse right next to it there might be something to research, but I've got better things to do with my time than to humour people who want to believe in fairy tales.

Thank you
