Conspiracy Theories

Sage In 2008 the US Goverment did a survey of 17 countries, 15% of the people thought the US goverment was responsible for the atacks, 7% percent thought Israel was responsible, 7% believed it was another terrorist group and the rest thought it was al Qaeda. Sage

the following theories were posted by Maya_Spring

LIHOP- "let it happen on purpose" suggests that some individuals had a certain amount of foreknowledge a deliberately ignored them or weakened americas forces and defenses to ensure that the hijacked flights were not intercepted

MIHOP- "make it happen on purpose" suggests that key individuals within in government planned the attacks and collaborated with al-Qaeda.

Air defense stand down theory- NORAD supposedly issued a stand down right before 9/11

theres a lot more info at this link

These conspiracy theories were from this link (this info was added by Rachel)
 * The Twin Towers were destroyed by controlled demolitions
 * No plane hit the Twin Towers, but a missile was fired into the towers
 * United Airlines flight no.93 ( which crashed in Pennsylvania) was shot down by a missile
 * The planes that hit the Twin Towers were remote controlled
 * Inside trading in the stocks of United Airlines and American Airlines, just before Sept11th is evidence of prior knowledge

According to the official 9/11 Commission Report, the U.S. government received and ignored warnings about a terrorist attack, which means that LIHOP is probable IF the Commission Report is true. (More info on the report at this link) -added by Kara

Here are a few facts that prove that the twin towers did NOT collapse because they were hit by planes: This information as well as other overwhelming evidence proves that something other than what the U.S. government wants us to believe happened on 9/11. (More info at this link) -added by Kara =9/11 theories= many people believe in different theories and the following are just a few of many. presented by nisholasv
 * Laws about crime scene investigations were violated when the metal from the towers was sent overseas and melted before it could be examined for signs of a controlled demolition
 * Fire would be unable to make steel frame buildings collapse so suddenly or quickly
 * Fighter jets are immediately sent to investigate whenever contact is lost with a plane, this did NOT happen on 9/11, and it was over two hours after the planes lost contact that anything was done about it
 * The government at the time would not write a commission report until 441 days after 9/11. Reports for other disasters and attacks such as Pearl Harbour and the assassination of JFK were all started in one week
 * NORAD was ordered to stand out on 9/11 so as not to stop the attacks

theory #1 the two planes that crashed into the Trade Centers were filled with explosives or bombs. This theory is believed by many because researches say that there is no way a passenger plane made of light weight material could have cut through the steel beems that were ment to hold up the World Trade Centers and prevent them from collapsing at all cause.

theory #2

theory #2 is that Bush had prior knowledge of the World Trade Center attack well in advance and even as much as months, plenty of time to issue an evacuation on Sept. 11. He was also belived that he was receiving a generous amount of payment to not tell anyone or warn anyone. Along with this people say that if Bush knew about the attack then he might of also hinted to the terrorists where to hit the Towers in such a way that the buildings were definatly going to collapse. This theory could have also explained why Bush suddenly decided to fly out of the White House, and out of the country completely to ensure his safety.

theory #3

theory #3 is that the World Trade Centers were set and staged with bombs in certain areas of the building that would weaken and evently cause the collapse of the Trade Centers. This theory is backed by several emergency responders that they heard several bangs and looked around and saw several flashes of light coming from the areas that they heard the bangs. They all described this later as the sound of demolition bombs that are placed by a demolition teams.

info some other info is that the twin towers would not have collapsed in the way they did if they had built it better and more stable, meaning that even though the towers did not fall right away there for saving many lives but even more could have gotten out if they had built it as it says on this website: please use this [|link]

In conclusion my opinion is that the president did know in advance and gave information out to the terrorists. I also believe that he could easily have been getting paid to not tell anyone and have planted bombs in the Twin Towers before the attacks.

proof of these theories and several others can be found by using this[| link]

In this link, you will see that Abagail Carter, a woman that lost her husband in the attacks, believes that the building was made to collapse so that it wouldn't destroy other buildings nearby.

Some other conspiracies include:

- foreign government or organization involvement - explosives caused the collapse of the twin towers and molten steel provides evidence, for a lone plane crash could not have produced enough heat to melt metal - that the US administration deliberately chose not to shoot down a plane that was heading for the Pentagon

Sage These are my thoughts on the conspiracy theories: All the facts that are given to prove the conspiracy theories are all very believable and I do believe in some of the facts. The conspiracy theories //are// plausible because I do know that the facts are true and believable, although when you don't know exactly what the answer is, it could be any thing, especially in this case. I believe that the Twin Towers attack //was// the planes highjacked by Al Qaeda, because if you look at a video of the Twin Towers collapsing, the area in which they collapse //is// the area where the planes hit. Some people say they collapsed at the bottom, but if you look at the videos the collapses//were// at the area where the planes hit. I have heard that some people see puffs of smoke bellow the actual area of the Towers' collapse, I see that but I think that those are puffs of smoke from the inside of the building where things are most likely collapsing and falling over bellow the spot of the begging of the collapse. Workers inside the North Tower heard a second explosion after the plane hit. I believe that it was an after shock or something collapsing. The planes were recorded destroyed, unlike the Pentagon and Pennsylvania crashes, which were recorded valid. I think the Pentagon was hit by a small plane sent directly from Al Qaeda, because the hole in the Pentagon was smaller than the wingspan of a Beoing 757. Beoing 757 is still valid in records, not destroyed like the Twin Towers' planes. The plane that hit the Pentagon tried to descend 7000 feet in 2:30 minutes, that may be more possible with a smaller plane. There were no skid marks on the lawn, it would have been easier in a smaller plane to crash into the Pentagon without touching the ground since the Pentagon is so big. There were only small pieces of plane found, those pieces are smaller because a smaller plane could have crashed into the building. The planes could have propellers instead of engines that could have been torn apart more easily. The two planes in the sky after the attack could have been military planes circling to make sure everything is all right or they could be Al Qaeda planes circling to make sure the crash happened correctly. I do believe that the Pennsylvania crash was a bomb, like the conspiracy theories said, but I think the bomb came from Al Qaeda. Two planes had landed in Cleveland, because of bomb reports, one was described as flight 93. The bomb reports would be true, as well as the report of seeing flight 93. The plane would have bombed the spot instead of the Whitehouse, after the passengers resisted the Al Qaeda bombers. The reason for my belief of a bombing is, because of this fact and, because there were no bodies, no plane parts any where close to the hole in the ground and a photographer reported only ashes and a few broken trees. As you can see I clearly believe it was Al Qaeda, although the way 9/11 happened from my point of view is a bit different. If what I say is true, the Al Qaeda would withstand benefits, because it seems as though they wanted to destroy some important files. They succeeded in everything except the Whitehouse. Depending on what is in the files, it could help them with a war in the future or let them get back at the Americans for something they did in the past, or they simply did what their religion told them to do. The Al Qaeda had the means to do it because the Bin Ladens have a lot of money and power. As you can see my beliefs in 9/11 are very much true, since I have so many supporting details and answers. It is without a doubt that this is what happened on 9/11. Sage

mchan - I liked your paragraph. - I agree with you on how maybe a small plane hit the Pentagon. Also the theory on how the two planes could indeed have been military planes. mchan

nathan here is my thoughts on the conspricys. Every theory has some mising parts but if you took the time and added some of the parts and theory together you would see that it is quite plausible. For example on the missile hitting the pentagon theory. why is it that the telephone poles were not knocked over from the planes wingspan nathan

In a poll of 17 countries taken in 2008, 15% of people believed the government was responsible, 7% believed Israel was, and 7% believed that another terrorist group was. Kara mchan - the rest thought it was Al Qaeda though, which is 71%. mchan

I personally think that all the conspiracy theories are fake. Our culture is a culture of conspiracy. People assume things, tell them to others, and the chain goes on, while the stories become more bizarre and exaggerated each time. For example, when Osama bin Laden was killed and declared dead to the world, almost immediately, people questioned whether or not he actually was. According to Maclean’s, 1 in 5 Americans didn’t buy the U.S. account of the terrorist’s death, and 16% of Canadians didn’t either. Then, there’s the 1% of Canadians that think Bin Laden is still alive. That’s 20% of Americans and 16% of Canadians that believe in conspiracies, even though reliable resources said that DNA scans were done.  I would also like to note that many people have too much time on their hands, and just like to make websites, containing false facts. ( Remember when Mrs.Kuhn showed us the “ Pacific Northwest tree octopus?”) They make it sound true of course, and people buy into them, saying they have proof. What proof is this? They say that experts such as scientists and engineers have researched and come to conclusions saying that the government is lying. What kind of experts? Don’t you think that people who are capable of making fake websites are capable of making statements that aren’t necessarily true? Now, even if the statements were true, you must also believe that some experts are conspiracists and may think in only one direction? Experts say things like the twin towers could not have possibly collapsed in that situation. Did they know exactly what the situation was like? Maybe temperatures exceeded their estimations and in this article I found (which was in Ebsco, a reliable resource), it says that steel does not have to be melted in order for it to collapse. Here's the link. Lots of conspiracies use witnesses as a fact. Witnesses are not reliable. People would say anything and some may have just assumed something to fill in a gap in their memory. Everyone does this naturally. Sometimes, focusing on one thing makes us lose track of another and we just assume that this is what happened. Now, they also say that Bush collaborated with terrorists and made it happen on purpose. Why would he do that? I personally don’t think Bush would kill thousands of people, frighten the nation, and destroy so much. how would this benefit him? The war following 9/11 led to loss of money and that contributes to America’s financial problems at present. Some people believe that it wasn’t a plane that hit the twin towers. Well, that is an obvious lie because the footage that was caught by a man that was randomly filming what firefighters did clearly filmed both planes hitting the twin towers. I saw it on television myself because it was broadcasted on the news. It was a plane, not a hologram or a missile. How would a hologram be possible anyway? In conclusion, some of the conspiracy theories are possible, but in my opinion, unlikely. Lots of people have the means to create conspiracies by using technology and just thinking in only one direction. They would be the ones that would benefit because they would have succeeded in making the government look bad. Maggie I like how you stated the fact that it is very easy for people to create false facts and they get people to believe them. I don't agree with you on the fact that you said that the people making the government look bad would be the ones that are benefitting, but I think that the government could have bennefitted as well. I think this because, as I believe is that the government knew in advance about the attack and also gave the terrorists some information. The government would have bennefitted in many ways starting with the oil. If you take a look at my post on "Final Thoughts on 911" and click on "Partial Conspiracy" you will find my post with several facts and reasons how the government bennefitted and why I believe this theory. posted by N.V.
