Concluding that 9/11 is a Government Conspiracy is Grotesque
Why would it be grotesque? Sept. 11 was a conspiracy whether the conspirators were foreign, domestic, or foreign on behalf of a domestic agenda. So
the question isn't whether it was a conspiracy. The question is who was ultimately responsible for setting the conspiracy into motion and/or turning a
blind eye.
Why would you assume the government wouldn't be capable of something like this? Why would you assume the government wouldn't at least be capable of
letting something like this happen, regardless if they were warned or not?
I wonder...is it grotesque because it would direct the blame away from the original terrorists: the Muslim extremists? Is this why people might refuse
to pursue, investigate, or accept an alternative story? Stick to your guns much? What if the terrorists were actually domestically trained? What would
happen to the war on terror?
Let's be real... the government pretends to care about health care, yet millions of Americans die every year from smoking-related illness. This number
dwarfs the civilian casualties on 9/11. Why do they let this happen? Is it because Americans would be pissed if you cut off their cigarette supply? Or
is it that politicians would lose valuable bribe money from the tobacco companies? Obviously nobody cares if a tobacco company itself goes out of
business, so it's probably one of the two conclusions above. This is just one of several, if not many, "grotesque" government conspiracies; foreign
and domestic.
I wouldn't be surprised if 9/11 was a domestic conspiracy centered around massive profit, but I don't necessarily subscribe to that conclusion. I
don't doubt that the government, or people in the government, would be capable of pulling off a conspiracy such as this.
Grotesque isn't the word I'd use. "Remotely possible" is a better fit.
Our government's track-record isn't exactly positive.
