Nobody with any brains believes in conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories are popular with people who have serious feelings of inadequacy, and the only way they can compensate is to pretend to know something that nobody else knows.

When I encounter them, I generally nod, smile, and back away slowly.

How do those qualify as conspiracies?

A group of men "conspired" to assassinate Julius Caesar. Adolf Hitler burned down his own Reichstagg Building and blamed it on his chief opposition (the German Communist Party) in a brilliant move that cemented the power of his burgeoning National Socialist Party. The attack on the Gulf of Tonkin that ushered the United States into the Vietnam war was a now common knowledge and admitted lie.

Furthermore, the Jewish Holocaust of WWII was a gigantic conspiracy involving thousands of German soldiers and engineers, and yet the majority of the German population remained completely ignorant of its machinations.

Anyone who has studied it knows that the landscape of history is littered with one conspiracy after another. This is denied only by the short-sighted and the naive.

Peace.

"Nobody with any brains" would make a statement like that. Human history is riddled with conspiracies and human nature will insure that they continue.

Was 911 a conspiracy? Of course it was! The only debate is about where the list of conspirators ends.

I do not believe in the conspiracy theories
Come on Greatday, the Official Story is a conspiracy theory. What court has proven it to be true? Ben Laden a few days after 911 in a video that he had nothing to do with 911. We, the nation, did not see that video on national tv because GW asked the media not to show it because Ben laden might give had signals to sleeper cells in this country. However, they just happen to find a video in a home in Afghanistan that showed someone that may have looked like Ben Laden, but definitely was not, laughing and joking with friends. They spoke in Arabic so who knows what they were saying. GW allowed that video to be shown. But Grreatday go back. Look at the towers. The towers are exploding. They are not just falling down. Look at the steel beams being thrown out laterally from the towers. Some steel grids are jetison out for hundreds of feet even embedded into the sides of other building. Hear the eyewitness testimony. Explosions went off before the planes struck and after the planes struck. Believe your own eyes. Building number 7 or tower number seven fell striaght to the ground just like a controlled demolition and it was not struck by a plane. Building number 6 was struck by debris from one of the towers and had extensive damage but it did not collapse like building 7. Go to www.ae911truth.org and see what nearly 2000 architects and engineers have to say about the collapse of the WTC towers. Hear and see the truth and then speak the truth.

There were molten pools of steel found at the bottom of all 3 buildings that burned for months. Fires produced by the jet fuel did not come close to that required to produce those pools.

The buildings were relatively bare of flammable materials, and were designed to isolate fires.

Who planted the explosives? Well, a security company with ties to Marvin Bush presided over the building for months before 9-11. Occupants reported banks of elevators being made unavailable for use for days at a time, and loud rumbling noises were heard on supposedly vacant floors.
Was there anything in wiki-leaks on it?
