Hallmarks of a Conspiracy Theory: 9/11

I love conspiracy theories. They're just cooler than your run-of-the mill every day type theories that produce falsifiable hypotheses. In fact, I plan to write the definitive book on the subject if I ever get the time (read: quit blogging).

Dean has the skinny on conspiracy theories:

In events with huge numbers of eyewitness events, it is entirely normal for there be witnesses who are confused, misremember things, contradict themselves, or contradict each other....
Read the rest.

Personally I think 9/11 was planned by the Illuminati and perpetrated by the Pentavarite. Or maybe the J-O-Os. I'm thinking Nessie had a hand in it too. Actual photo of 9/11 conspirator:

3 It actually all makes quite a bit of sense... Leftists are made up mostly of the misvits of society and young people who experiment with drugs... read more here at http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20050125-000003.html "Conspiracies Theories Explained"

4 You've got it all wrong, Dr. Shackleford! Since nobody wears tinfoil hats on their heads, we are all subject to the mind-clouding rays that are perpetrated on us by the nefarious shadow government which is run by the extra-terrestrials who live under Area 51. Dick Cheney is actually one of these aliens, but its very hard to tell. Therefore, the planes we saw on 9-11 were really only figments of our imaginations and, when you REALLY think about it, it's obvious the explosions and buckling of the WTC and Pentagon were caused by controlled deconstruction methods, the likes of which only Jews can afford (certainly not Osama bin Laden). Also, because some Muslims actually wear tin foil under their turbins (surely they are the only ones who could get away with such a thing because who would tinfoil on their heads in public? Such things have been buffooned by evil forces in the citizenry as a 'fashion faux-pas', which is a terrible outrage.), they know atleast half the truth which is that the Jews were also behind 9-11. They know that the Jews are in conspiracy with the underground alien shadow government, sometimes referred to as the Illuminati or Elohim (they are known by many names and I'm sure that you've heard one of these names), and that is why all the Jews were told to stay home on 9-11-01. And if you still doubt that there were evil conspirators OTHER THAN AL-QAEDA who took us all down a path of despair on 9-11-01, then you need only see the photos of chemtrails (not contrails), orbs (not dust) and ectoplasm (not cig smoke) that preceded the explosions the day before! /smart mouth off

5 Someone turned my 20 yr old daughter onto that "Loose Change", (should be Loose Screw), video. I watched it trying to keep an open mind, then I emailed her back about some of the inconsistancies and inaccuracies of the piece. Like all conspiracy theories, it has just enough truth, and just enough plausible assumptions to make some people fall for it. Granted most of those who fall for this crap are college students who listen to people like Ward Churchill, stoners, or both OR they are uneducated. As I have tried to teach my children, always question everything. Not as a means of defiance, but as a means of understanding. Always try to look at something from all angles. If you don't understand the subject, research it until you do. Then you can have an informed opinion instead of following the sheep.

6 The airplanes that hit the WTC weren't real, and anyone whose mind isn't controlled by the JOOOOOish mind contol/hurricane/earthquake device knows it was all done with puppets and stew meat.

7 It was Amelia Earhart, and Judge Crater was involved in the coverup. They used the crew of the Mary Celeste. I'm sure Mycroft Holmes had a finger in it as well.

8 About the only group that hasn't been blamed so far is the Cult of Cthulu.

9 It was Manbearpig.

13 In the history of structural engineering, steel-frame high-rise buildings have never been brought down due to fires either before or since 9/11, so how can fires have brought down three in one day? How is this possible? The BBC has reported that at least five of the nineteen alleged "hijackers" have turned up alive and well living in Saudi Arabia, yet according to the FBI, they were among those killed in the attacks. How is this possible? Frank DeMartini, a project manager for the WTC, said the buildings were designed with load redistribution capabilities to withstand the impact of airliners, whose effects would be like "puncturing mosquito netting with a pencil." Yet they completely collapsed. How is this possible? Since the melting point of steel is about 2,700°F, the temperature of jet fuel fires does not exceed 1,800°F under optimal conditions, and UL certified the steel used to 2,000°F for six hours, the buildings cannot have collapsed due to heat from the fires. How is this possible? Flight 77, which allegedly hit the building, left the radar screen in the vicinity of the Ohio/Kentucky border, only to "reappear" in very close proximity to the Pentagon shortly before impact. How is this possible? Foreign "terrorists" who were clever enough to coordinate hijacking four commercial airliners seemingly did not know that the least damage to the Pentagon would be done by hitting its west wing. How is this possible? Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, in an underground bunker at the White House, watched Vice President Cheney castigate a young officer for asking, as the plane drew closer and closer to the Pentagon, "Do the orders still stand?" The order cannot have been to shoot it down, but must have been the opposite. How is this possible? A former Inspector General for the Air Force has observed that Flight 93, which allegedly crashed in Pennsylvania, should have left debris scattered over an area less than the size of a city block; but it is scattered over an area of about eight square miles. How is this possible? A tape recording of interviews with air traffic controllers on duty on 9/11 was deliberately crushed, cut into very small pieces, and distributed in assorted places to insure its total destruction. How is this possible? The Pentagon conducted a training exercise called "MASCAL" simulating the crash of a Boeing 757 into the building on 24 October 2000, and yet Condoleezza Rice, among others, has repeatedly asserted that "no one ever imagined" a domestic airplane could be used as a weapon. How is this possible?

14 Jet feul is essentially Kerosene. Remember when you went camping with a kerosene lamp? Did the lamp melt? Molten steel was found in the basements of WTCs 1,2 and 7. WTC7 wasn't hit by a plane. The owner admitted that WTC7 was "pulled". Pulled=demolished NIST report states that the metal showed sign of sufidization. This is consistent with the explosive, thermate. Thermate cuts stell like a hot knife going through warm butter. You've been had. Wake up!

15 Kerosene also powered the Saturn V lower stage.

16 Been thinking a bit about this. Just what does a trade center tower resemble? A giant flue. I had been thinking about wind aloft. but you and I know it was the calmest of days so even up that hight it would be some but not that big a deal. So lets say we mixed jet fuel and other petrolium products like carpet, drapes, fake wood funishings etc etc and lit it. It seems to me that the entire structure would act like a flue. Air entering the lower portion and rising to fan the fire at the top. Except in this instance there is no fire at the bottom. A fresh supply of oxygen is delivered strait to the fire. This generates quite a flow. Even a 12 or 14 ft flue un-lit has a good draft. Explain how you factor that in. I know if I blow on fire what happens but I really need to know from an expert like Greg just how they factor in this rush of air and what effect it may have.

17 The wtc core columns were hermetically sealed... The chimney effect was explicitly taken into account during the construction of the towers. NIST report does not mention this... they would if it boosted thier story. You people criticize the truth movement but you obviously have done little research into it. You are the real fools for believing that Hani Hanjour who flunked out of training school could execute a move that airplane pilots unanimously agree is near impossible and purposely avoid rummsfeld's office to crash into the unoccupied section? Are you people serious? Do you believe in the tooth fairy too? Please, respond to the logistic of my arguement. I dare you, come up with a story about how a failure that couldn't fly a cessina flew a boing into the pentagon in a fell swoop of 270 degrees at 400 mph. Please?? Tell me. Because FEMA and NIST and 9/11 commission sure can't.
