Wearing the Tinfoil Hat

I get laughed at when I talk about some of the conspiracies that engage and utterly horrify me.  Yes, I believe there was a conspiracy involved in the events of 9-11.  Even if you accept the government’s version of what happened, you accept a conspiracy too.  So, what is more realistic to believe in?  Did 19 Muslim terrorists with some training in Afghanistan really take over four airliners with box cutters?  Entering the cockpits where they would be opposed by at least equal numbers of people (if they were not actually outnumbered), take over with 100 % success, not allowing any pilots to reach down a few inches and set off a hijack alert system?  Then fly the planes, making them do aerial maneuvers that would’ve torn the aircraft to pieces at speeds beyond the capability of the aircraft at the altitudes they were executed at?  With pilot skills so inferior that their American instructors laughed about it?  And then making the buildings fall down due to fire even though no high-rise concrete and steel skyscraper had ever fallen down due to fire before?  Even making WTC-7 fall down though it never got hit by a hijacked airplane?  And all three skyscrapers fell straight down into their own footprint, suspiciously like a controlled demolition?

Or could it be that Neo-conservatives like Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld felt that they needed a “New Pearl Harbor” in order to make profitable warfare in Iraq (With untapped oil reserves) and Afghanistan (with mineral wealth like Lithium for batteries)?  Does it maybe matter that Larry Silverstien, who not only bought the World Trade Center complex shortly before the events with leveraged debt and faced a billion dollar project to remove the asbestos problem from the buildings, but took out an insurance policy that covered acts of terrorism on the buildings and scored a doubling of billions of dollars because the two planes represented two acts of terrorism?  Does it matter that L. Paul Bremer didn’t show up in his World Trade Center office that day as some of his chief operations people were meeting about possible financial problems of embezzlement or fraud and were almost all killed while the evidence they were presenting was destroyed?  And this is the same Paul Bremer who would become the occupational governor of Iraq, managing the corporate exploitation of Iraq by companies like Halliburton?

It bothers me that there was no real investigation of the entire attack.  The steel from the destroyed buildings was quickly disposed of, sent overseas to be quickly recycled rather than forensically examined.  It bothers me that a retired Chemistry professor from Denmark, Niels Harrit, found incontestable evidence of nano-thermite  in dust from the WTC disaster.  It bothers me that a physicist like Steven Jones could give up his teaching job at BYU to found a group like Scholars for 9/11 Truth & Justice because he was so certain that the government explanation of events was a deliberate lie.  It also bothers me that groups of reputable people form organizations like Pilots for 9-11 Truth and Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth and the 9-11 Family Steering Committee have so many legitimate questions that the government and mass media refuse to answer.  I may be obsessing about a conspiracy theory, but there is a conspiracy to obsess about, questions to be answered, and people who need to answer for what was actually done.
