A lot of this is a combination of clever framing and connecting dots in a way to make things look far more like what they want it to sound like.
A classic example of this kind of logic would be pointing out that Clinton's enemies keep dying and listing them out (a popular conspiracy). Looks pretty bad until you compile a list of all their political enemies and realise the total deaths are less than the national average, so it's perfectly normal to have that many deaths out of that many people.
Essentially framing things out of context so it appears bad when the reality isn't quite that way. It's a lot like claiming pillows are actually hard not soft and then exclusively showing the hard metal zipper while hiding the rest of the pillow.

building number 7, operation northwoods, the cia / mossad / al kaida connection, the project for a new american century, the bin laden/ bush connection and the missing 26? pages of the 9/11 report make 9/11 more of a mystery.
modern history is full of false flag attacks. ww2 and the Vietnam war were started that way.
history is also full of conspiracies by powerful people. ever heard of epstein and his gang ? right now, we have a live coverup going on, that involves the whole system.
you can do, as you are doing, a magical handwave and ignore all of that. but dont pretend, you going down the rational truth based road. thats lacking intellectual humilty.

u/SignificanceFlat1460 3h ago
There is a difference between clear coincidence and active conspiracy to deny facts. No one is saying stupid stuff like that they were rockets and what not but alot of the things don't make sense. CIA knew and warned of attacks 2 months prior yet nothing happened. They had many occasions to take out OBL but didn't do it. Defense spending jumped and Pentagon was giving out contracts like free candy to anyone. Mass surveillance was triggered. NSA became a household name. So much shit happened but numbnuts still say "AhH BuT ItS AlL JuSt A CoInCiDeNcE YoU ArE JuSt ParAnOiD". Same shit they said until when the proof of Kennedy being assassinated by CIA didn't become an actual fact
1
u/Regulai 3h ago
For example: warned of attacks? Sure but they get literally hundreds of warnings like that every month and 99.999% of the time no actual attack happens.
That's actually one of the best examples of something that sounds bad in a vacuum but in context it's actually fairly insignificant. It's the quality and reliability of intelligence, not the fact that it exists at all, that matters.
Or why not take him out earlier? Initially he was regarded mainly as a financier rather than organiser, and when the CIA started to get more interested, many of their plans of the era were considered low probability of success with the political collateral viewed as high risk e.g. they often didn't want to cause an international incident for say a 5% chance of killing him, when it's not like the organisation vanishes when he dies.
And my point isn't "it's a coincedence" it's that many of the points aren't even notable facts to begin with, they are just being framed to make it sound notable.

Its Barry L. Jennings
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/239954740/barry-jennings
Barry Jennings was a survivor of events of 9/11. At the time, he was the Deputy Director of the Emergency Services Department for the New York City Housing Authority. He was rescued from WTC Building 7 by a long ladder, before it collapsed at 5:20 p.m. Jennings disappeared in 2008, reportedly dead of natural causes, but his family also disappeared at the same time.
On August 19, 2008, 53 year old Barry Jennings died, two days before the release of the NIST Final Report on the collapse of WTC7. Jennings was Deputy Director of Emergency Services Department for the New York City Housing Authority.
One of multiple credible civilians who testified in interviews they heard explosions coming from the basement / parking lot.
This compilation is made by James Corbett from Corbett Report who made a bunch of really informative documentaries on this subject based on his own researched, all sourced and citated. He goes into details on other 7 people listed after him in his documentaries.
https://corbettreport.com/corbett-report-documentaries/
can find his longer works here, truly amazing stuff.
9/11 rabbit hole goes waaaaay too deep, people also forget the Exxon investigation was located in WTC towers so that basically came to a halt same with Pentagon bombing at the precise quarter where the budget staff was looking for missing 8 trillions announced by Rumsfeld the day before.
Quite convinient since no one asked shit about those afterwards lol.

Rumsfeld was referring to transaction documentation not that the money itself was missing. He was saying the DoD needs to better document its accounting.
It’s always with these people saying the rabbit hole’s soo deep dude! And then never actually looking into the rabbit hole itself because it would require confronting the fact, that it’s not deep, they just need to feel like they know the special truth only a few people are aware of.
Also SEC had copies of the Enron (I’m not sure why you said Exxon) investigation documentation. Wy wasn’t their HQ in Washington attacked also?

Operation Northwoods was an excuse to start a war with Cuba. They were gonna use the outrage of the american people to get permission to start a war.
9/11 was an excuse to start a war in the middle east. The same day all major news networks showed footage of people in the middle east celebrating the towers falling. Of course America was outraged and guess what? They now had permission to start a war.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_NICE_EYES 9m ago
Yeah, the Larry Silverstien insurance part of this is just people not understanding how courts or the insurance work.
Silverstien had a batch of insurance polices on the world trade center that covered up to $3.55 billion of losses in a single event. 9/11 happens and the insurance policy says they're going to pay out $3.55 Billion, but Silverstien says "2 planes = 2 events = $7.1 Billion" and then there's a court case to determine if this was 1 or 2 events.
The court found that based off the language, in some of the policies this would count as 2 events, and the language in other policies would treat 9/11 as one event, so he was able to get $4.58 Billion dollars of payout from this.

u/herefromyoutube 14m ago
That’s what actually happened.
GOV employees in intel told their bosses about a pending attack on American soil. Somewhere in chain of command (probably at the very top) it was simply ignored.
Bush wanted to goto Iraq and 9/11 was his green card.
I imagine though that they didn’t really think it would be as bad as it was.
There was a government that assisted but it was ours.

I'm sure at any one time there are dozens of terrorist plots against the US in various stages of planning that the CIA are aware of and monitoring or acting against. I have no idea if 9/11 was an inside job or not, but if it were, it would be much simpler to just let something happen than plan it yourself, and would require a much smaller circle of co-conspirators.

Did they- because you sure seem to know about him (many people kept quiet for FAR too long, but the fact we now know means clearly someone talked at some point)
Which is why the more people involved in a conspiracy the more likely it is to collapse under its own weight- if Epstein kept the number of girls he trafficked smaller- and only involved a few people we probably still wouldn’t know- but the more people you involve it only takes one to talk (and possibly get ignored) but then a few more talk- and finally years later we expose at least some degree of truth despite plenty of people still trying to hide it.

u/violenceistheQstn 5h ago

u/crittermd 5h ago
Correct- I’m just saying using Epstein as a “massive conspiracy can stay hidden” is kind of internally inconsistent- because any conspiracy that we know about- means the conspiracy was broken and we all found out and therefore does not prove that a conspiracy can stay hidden forever. It can show certain things can stay hidden for far longer then we would like to think.
The actual conspiracies that stay hidden the public would have no idea about (and more likely have a smaller number of people “in the know”) and yeah- I’m sure there’s plenty of shady shit going on that we have no clue about- but the more people involved the less likely it is to stay solvent.

D. Chany literally organized warplane highjacking drill scenarios on the same day the 9/11 happened, thats the reason planes didn't get intercepted its because the air traffic control couldn't pin point or figure out if the threat is a play scenario or currently happening lol
FAA recordings from morning of Sept. 11 reveal moments air traffic controllers realized hijacking...
here is real time transcripts you can literally hear traffic controlers scrambling to try to figure out if its a hoax or not...
how the fuck you think a highjacked passenger plane had free 2 hours to roam over the most guarded sky in northern hemisphere without NORAD and air control being on their assess the moment they entered it?
bunch of unknown individuals made serious BANK on insider trading and conviniently also wiped both Exxon scandal and Pentagon deficit investigations going on lol
i think even William Cooper predicted to the T they will blame Osama on it after some airplane incident, its not like it came outta nowhere people were definitely aware of what is going on back then but people think these conspiracies need "everyone to know" and play their part when in fact George Bush was just a useful idiot in the whole story as well as Chaney kept him in the dark about the whole plan.

I'm kinda shopping carting my own theories.
The day 9-11 happened I was really suspicious of the pentagon strike. There was a gas station camera that released like 3 frames of video of the "Plane" and it 100% looked like a cruise missile. How there aren't any eye witnesses on the road being like "Holy shit there is a plane flying low". I had a cellphone back then so I don't know how one person didn't call the police about a fucking plane low flying over the highway.
How the towers feel makes sense to me

This would be a super important question if the US government hadn't followed up the deaths of those 3,000 people with the deaths of 3,000,000 more people. They did the War on Terror all out in the open, an endless public celebration of cruelty. By the numbers it was 1,000 9/11's carried out over decades of military occupation.
Is my world turned upside down if they did 1,001 9/11's instead of just 1,000? No. Your attitude towards the government should be the same regardless of whether the Truthers are right. And, if instead you think one American life is worth 1,000 overseas, you're a bad person.

Autumn 1992: Influential Academic Advocates Breaking Up Middle Eastern Countries, Including Iraq
Princeton University professor Bernard Lewis publishes an article in the influential journal Foreign Affairs called “Rethinking the Middle East.” In it, he advocates a policy he calls “Lebanonization.” He says, “[A] possibility, which could even be precipitated by [Islamic] fundamentalism, is what has late been fashionable to call ‘Lebanonization.’ Most of the states of the Middle East—Egypt is an obvious exception—are of recent and artificial construction and are vulnerable to such a process. If the central power is sufficiently weakened, there is no real civil society to hold the polity together, no real sense of common identity.… Then state then disintegrates—as happened in Lebanon—into a chaos of squabbling, feuding, fighting sects, tribes, regions, and parties.” Lewis is well known as a longtime supporter of the Israeli right wing. Since the 1950s, he has argued that the West and Islam have been engaged in a titanic “clash of civilizations” and that the US should take a hard line against all Arab countries. Lewis is considered a highly influential figure to the neoconservative movement, and some neoconservatives such as Richard Perle and Harold Rhode consider him a mentor. In 1996, Perle and others influenced by Lewis will write a paper for right wing Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu entitled “A Clean Break” that advocates the “Lebanonization” of countries like Iraq and Syria. Lewis will remain influential after 9/11. For instance, he will have dinner with Vice President Cheney shortly before the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. Some will later suspect that Cheney and others were actually implementing Lewis’s idea by invading Iraq. Chas Freeman, former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia, will say in May 2003, just after the invasion, “The neoconservatives’ intention in Iraq was never to truly build democracy there. Their intention was to flatten it, to remove Iraq as a regional threat to Israel.”
Paragraph from the article Rethinking Middle East: "in the meantime the United States, so it would appear, remains alone. Today the only serious restraint on the American administration is American public opinion. Of the many blunders made by Saddam Hussein, the greatest of all was to infuriate the American administration and antagonize public opinion at the same time. Without this double shock it is unlikely that American democracy would have allowed the dispatch of an army to a Middle Eastern battlefield. And after the shock it became clear that American public opinion would not tolerate keeping American troops in the Middle East a day longer than was strictly necessary, and perhaps not even as long as that."

9/11 being staged is one of the main things extremists on both sides believe in, personally i don't.
How can you stage at least 7 people calling home and saying the hijackers were Arab? pay off their families? what do the families stand to gain when their family member died from the governments actions.
Most of the hijackers are identified anyways.
Believing the twin towers were blown up just doesn't even make any sense cause then you're discrediting tens of thousands of witnesses.
The fact that no footage was released of the pentagon is the strongest piece of evidence there is that it was a inside job, but in what case is it unlikely that the most secure place of the country doesn't release footage that could potentially be a huge security risk? One person working in the pentagon claims it was a missile (as someone posted in this comment section) But what would the government gain from bombing it's own building, then not proving it had any damage done to it. It would be far more reasonable to not have any damage done to the building and pretend it had been attacked.
Not to mention Afghanistan taking credit for the attacks.
and what about the flight that crashed into a field? Let's say it was staged, then where could it have possible been going? All evidence says it was going to DC so most likely the white house, which once again, if it was a inside job, they wouldn't destroy, only terrorists would.
Another popular idea is that the twin towers were demolished, the only evidence being that it looked like a demolition, but that kind of disproves itself because if the government is wasting billions, it would spend a bit more to make it so that the planes did just destroy the tower anyways no need for explosives at the base.
The last point coming to mind off the top of my head is that why would the government cause so much destruction just to go to war, as we can see with the war with Iran, the government doesn't need much of a excuse, they could've just said Afghanistan was suspected to have WMD or just use all the previous actions Afghanistan did as a excuse, it'd be controversial sure, but not as controversial as killing thousands of it's own citizens.

i'm not a 9/11 truther or whatever they're called, but i feel like this doesn't really matter on weather it was staged or not, one could say that the government was working with the terrorists/manipulating them into doing it, rather than doing 100% of it themsevles, you could also say that the people they got to do it were arabs cus, you know, there's alot of those guys
i just feel like the ethnicity of the hijackers and people reporting the ethnicity doesn't really matter in determining weather it was staged or not, if anything, if it was staged and the government wanted to blame it on the middle east, they would MAKE SURE that the people doing the actual dirty work are arabs

You asked your first question and then promptly answer it. One possible answer at any rate.
Do you sincerely believe that the most powerful government (ie network of conspiracists) on the planet, that has historically been happy to sacrifice its own citizens in the tens of thousands for political ends, wuld not be comfortable with sacrificing more of its citizens for political (and/or financial) ends?
'Hijackers' have been *named*. Not identified - there's no bodies. No trial. Not a great deal of evidence.
Which tens of thousands of witnesses - those who watched the towers fall? Many people who've seen that believe they saw demolition (esp. building 7).
What would the government gain? Your paucity of imagination is not an argument. The video says the plane hit the office investigating trillions of missing dollars. Is that not motive enough for you?
If I took credit for the attacks you'd not believe me. But I could do it, and so could any leader who wanted to impress their people. Was it Afghanistan? I thought it was Bin Laden?
Then you ask another question and answer it yourself immediately, again. They didn't destroy the White House though, did they? A conspiracy wouldn't risk that, they wouldn't need to do it. They could do just enough to suggest that was the target.
A plane wouldn't normally bring down an entire building - hadn't happened before, hasn't happened since. 'decididing' a plane could or should? That's not how physics works.
An excuse is one thing - the full-throated support of every patriotic, or newly patriotic, American is another.

I like these theories. They are fun. And for sure, there may be some truth to some aspects of it, but no way. As a commenter already mentioned, imagine the massive cover-up and how many people would need to stay silent. The same for the moon landings. Impossible. Not to mention, science has debunked most of these claims.

Calling investigation into one of the largest tragedies in American history "fun"... is a take. Indeed.

conspiracy theories are fun, that is why half wits love them so much, like children love toys

Proper intelligent grown-ups know that adults can never agree on anything, that nobody ever does bad things because they were ordered to and knew their career depended on it, that clever people never lie *and* that the world is made of sunshine and lollipops.

Living in 2026 with an Orange Reality TV star tweeting about annilhating entire civilizations while we watch the stock market literally be manipulated weekend after weekend completely dismantles the idea that people who think outside of the media are "children with toys"
That childish mindset is what is protecting actual child-victimizing criminals as well.
We all gotta wake up... but they done destroyed that whole term/philosophy in perpuated and exaggerated cultural wars as well...

They are litterally actively covering up theEpstein-Trump files...

they're covering it up so well that they arrested epstein and now you're talking about the files that they've kept a complete secret

Hate to break it to you but that is just infinitely more niche than 9/11, not in terms of popularity but in terms of who'd have to work on it

u/jiggeryqua 4h ago
Imagine the massive cover up of Enigma, the Bletchley Park codebreakers who stayed silent for decades because they signed up to do that and believed the cause was necessary. Imagine adding blackmail, bribery and credible threats to the lives of everyone you love. You'd keep the secret too.

No it doesn't , it doesnt get hot enough. The most it did was lessen its strength by 50% and thats still not enough for the towers to collapse in a controlled demolition way. It collapsed like a accordion. Go search videos of controlled demolition of buildings.

Yes it does! That’s why planes need to use special plastic engines that don’t melt during the ignition process in order to work!!!!🥴
