Does anyone think that the United States government could have been behind the 9/11 attacks?

Question

I have viewed the conspiracy videos floating around on the web and found them interesting. Has anyone else?

Answer 1

if you look into it in depth, you'll find that it's glaringly obvious that the gov't was behind it.



first, look at what happened BEFORE 9/11:

did you know the WTC wasn't actually 'wanted' anymore??

the WTC was no longer profitable AT ALL. its construction had already begun before the use of asbestos was banned in 1971, so spray-on asbestos fire retardant was used up to the 40th floors (64th floor in the North Tower) & a different insulating material was used for the remaining floors. the owners (the Port Authority) were required to remove all the asbestos but the just scaffolding alone would cost more than $1 million.



then PERMISSION TO HAVE THE TOWERS DEMOLISHED WAS REFUSED due to the deadly toxic asbestos dust that would cover NY. & it DID with terrible consequences:

& of course, the cost of the alternative, to dismantle it floor by floor, was simply ridiculous.



despite all this, Larry Silverstein decided to lease the WTC six months before 9/11 & insured the buildings against 'terrorist' attacks. he put a down-payment of $124 million for the 99 year lease (although he persuaded investors to put up most of the cash), then claimed for two separate attacks (2 planes) & was rewarded $4,6 BILLION. so, basically the liars are saying that this ill-advised, disastrous business venture was saved by Larry's LUCK!!!



secondly, if you look at the facts, jet fuel just isn't hot enough to cause the MOLTEN STEEL that was clearly dripping from the towers & found at Ground Zero. however THERMITE is & molten metal is a normal result of thermite. this video shows a fun experiment that gives you an idea of what thermite can do:

there are also plenty of witnesses, such as Scott Forbes, who saw 'strange' workmen walking around with cables during the unprecedented power-down which left the towers WITHOUT SECURITY THE WEEKEND BEFORE 9/11 which gave the opportunity to place the thermite. this video takes a short time to buffer but it's worth watching:



http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=nl-nl&vid=0fcb75ef-c0fd-4d43-9fc0-33524530a8cc



then look into the behavior of those before 9/11 who SHOULD have been in the WTC that morning but weren't.

"The Zim-American Israeli Shipping Co. moves their North American headquarters from the 16th floor of the WTC to Norfolk, Virginia, one week before the 9/11 attacks. The Israeli government owns 49 percent of the company. [Virginian-Pilot, 9/4/2001] Zim announced the move and its date six months earlier. [Virginian-Pilot, 4/3/2001] More than 200 workers had just been moved out; about ten are still in the building making final moving arrangements on 9/11, but escape. [Jerusalem Post, 9/13/2001; Journal of Commerce, 10/18/2001] The move leaves only one Israeli company, ClearForest, with 18 employees, in the WTC on 9/11. The four or five employees in the building at the time manage to escape. [Jerusalem Post, 9/13/2001] One year later, a Zim ship is impounded while attempting to ship Israeli military equipment to Iran; it is speculated that this is done with the knowledge of Israel."

In addition to this, former Italian President Francesco Cossiga WENT PUBLIC about 9/11, telling Italy's most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies!!!



the Media in the US is most certainly one well-oiled machine to have so many Americans fooled - have you noticed yourself how biased they are? it's all very, very worrying.

Answer 2

First, U.S. government wants global dominance everywhere especially where they can legally have permanent military bases set up in strategic areas of the world.



Second, The entire war except for the first 3 months has been administrated and supplied by private companies such as food, water, health supplies and what not where we the people are paying huge amounts of money for these to do simple tasks.



Third, it is known as a false flag. A false flag is a tactic where the government masquerades a attack by doing the attack by themselves but blaming it on someone else. Hitler did this tactic to convince the people of Germany that Jews, Blacks and Christians were at fault for all the problems in Germany and they buried down the house where Hitler lived.



Fourth, the facts are buildings don't FALL at FREE FALL Speed no matter what circumstances unless it is a demolition. There has been 3 buildings in the history of concrete and steel buildings to collapse with only a fire, and those buildings were TC 1, 2 and 7 just to happen on 9/11. Plus, there was motlen steel found at the site and evidence on NASA satelitel showing heat of over 2,000 F.



Lastly, simplest logic is the North Tower was hit first yet the South tower collapse first, simple physics says that is impossible even in the wildest dreams that the heat from the jet fuel burned was so hot it collapsed the south tower first even though it was hit second and a half hour later.

Answer 3

Keep on with it, I wouldn't presume to tell you what you will find, but I feel safe in suggesting there is only one answer to your question.



There is a wealth of material, and also the scope to use your own intelligence, armed with some basic, indisputable physical laws, and an open mind.



You could just watch any newsreel of the towers collapsing, and ask some basic questions, no need to watch conspiracy videos, -it's staring you in the face.

Answer 4

Does anyone? > YES



Does anyone with a clear mind? > NO



Keep in mind - something like this would take many months, if not a year or more to plan and execute. At least if they wanted to cover it up (as is being suggested)



So you are suggesting that Bill Clinton did it? In order to accomplish what?



EDIT: the gold was on like the 7th floor - belonged to some euro bank - every single ounce was recovered and returned to the owner



Saw the video>YAWN - that all ya got?



I will only do 1 - I have more important nothing to do.

The first tower collapsed faster because it was hit WAY harder and much lower in the structure - lower=more load=less redundancy. Plus it was hit closer to the corner.



If I wanted to KO the buildings - I think I would have the bomb go off when the plane hit - no one would suspect then.



Anyway - these were TUBE construction - try this: Drink a can of soda. Now, place the can on a level ground. Place one foot centered on it and now balance yourself on the 1 foot. Carefully - so as not to break your neck, reach down and tap the sides of the can with your fingers - just enough to go plink. Congratulations, you just made a tube collapse at freefall.



you can put a CAR on a soda can (well, 1 wheel anyway) - just do NOT dent it or move it off-center - that's the way they built the WTC.

Answer 5

It's a possibility. Go to the Project for a New American Century which has Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al as members. They were waiting for a "Pearl Harbor" type attack to justify increased militarization. They were also agitating for an Iraqi invasion back in Clinton's administration. The PNAC wanted control of the oil and Cheney's Haliburton got big bucks. Also, billions of dollars are missing from the Pentagon and in Iraq. War created chaos which created opportunity for corruption and theft.



The official story has way too many holes in it. How did four commercial airliners fly freely around the busiest and most secure airspace in the USA without any interference? Where was NORAD, radar, and the huge and expensive defense system that the USA has? The only people who believe it are people who don't fly. A commercial pilot has to even ask for permission to change altitude to avoid turbulence, how did these terrorists go out of their assigned flight plan and supposedly fly back and forth along the Potomac without being shot down?



I am really scared by Bush's new plan to open secure airspace over the holidays for faster air travel. Huh? I thought we were at war? I thought we were in a "depression?" Why is he doing this? I am thinking he is again setting us up for another "incident."



9/11/01 provided a perfect foil for their plan to invade Iraq. Bush frothed at the mouth as he mentioned 9/11/01 repeatedly in the run up to Shock and Awe in Iraq. (see Operation Northwoods for historical perspective.)



Also, watch Long Kiss Goodnight with Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson, an excellent action thriller about a CIA assassin who stops a "terrorist" attack against a small Northern town during Xmas. It has very eerie overtones for CIA and government rogue activities.

Answer 6

Your incorrect approximately Pearl Harbor. FDR knew concerning the attack it became right into a ploy to start American intervention. until eventually then u.s. wished no area of the conflict. that's the guy Obama idolizes.

Answer 7

Yes, once you have read the 911 commissions report you will have more questions than answers it is so full of holes in fact the men responsible for the report have come out and said they were lied to. Absolutely 911 was used as a pretext for war. And for the morons who say its only whack job conspiracy nuts, there are thousands of pilot, engineers, firefighters and victims who disagree with the governments story, they are not conspiracy nuts.



edit .kings kid you are obviously not a firefighter as your avatar suggests because you are seriously lacking in your fire science, btw I am 343 NOT FORGOTTEN

Answer 8

I absolutely know that the U.S. government would not do such a thing. To think that someone would think that the government of a country like the U.S. would kill off its citizens is just stupid. Nobody in U.S. government would have gained anything from this. It can't have been power, because the attack happened in 2001, so no major elections were going on, Bush was already in power. It can't have been money, because our economy was severely damaged from it. It can't have been out of spite, because no one in government is that despicable. There was also no power or money involved with invading Iraq, as our economy was also showing declines over the period of the war, and no power was gained as a result of it. As for the Iraq invasion (since terrorists were obviously behind the 9-11 attacks), we weren't too fond of terrorists anyway.



U.S. government did not cause 9-11, and anyone who thinks otherwise is just dumb.

Answer 9

They are interesting in a sort of odd, car-wreck video sort of way.



For those of us who actually try to stick to logic and facts though, they don't really fill the bill. Occam's Razor is a very good principle to apply here. A small group of highly dedicated and motivated Arab terrorists using simple tactics is a much more believable scenario than some grand conspiracy involving thousands of people in multiple countries, both in and out of the government.



Hmmm, wonder who gave me the thumbs down? Perhaps the brain surgeon who uses movies as references?

Answer 10

George Bush went into Iraq without a declaration of war from the Congress so full consent wasn't given or asked for.

I think it reprehensible that anyone could possibly think or even imagine that the government was behind it. Especially since we know who was in those planes, what country they were from, who their boss was, and what their orders were.

Even with knowing the who, what, when, where, and how of it all there are still idiots out there who really believe that the government had something to do with it. WRONG!!!

The worst offender of this belieg is the liberal congresswoman named Cynthia McKinney. You know, the one who punched out the capital guard because he stopped her from rushing through the metal detectors. She should have ended up with jail time over that. What an attitude!! But she kept asking "How much did Bush know and whhen did he know it?" This ultra liberal needs to shut her trap.

The reason everyone thinks it was a plot from our country is because of the way the buildings fell. They fell almost exactly like a controlled demolition.

But PBS had a special on that showing why they fell that way. I guess the metal struts weakened several floors from the top from the intense heat. After a period of time they gave way and the tops floors came right straight down on top of them. The intense weight of the falling floors and the heat made the next floors struts give way. As each succesive floor collapsed it added more and more weight and the whole thing came down on itself like a deck of cards.

Experts watching the videos of the towers falling knew right away that it wasn't a planned take down. They saw all the proper indications that the building gave way because of heat and weight. But to the rest of us it looked like possibly a demolition from explosives had taken place.

Answer 11

Only those who are mentally deranged think the US Government was behind 9/11 attacks. Where is the motive? No one in the administration has made a ton of money as a result. No one has gained a lot of power.

Answer 12

I don't think so. The main reason I don't believe it is because I have no reason to think the government would do something like that. Innocent until proven guilty is the way I view all claims of crime or conspiracy.

Answer 13

It's a popular theory, but I don't believe it.



Honestly - look at the government's response to Katrina. Do you think that same government could have coordinated something like 9/11? That's giving them waaaay to much credit.

Answer 14

I have found one video on youtube with proof positive that explosions were taking place and that floors were crashing down etc.

Answer 15

I find it to be a ridiculous, unfounded load of crap. If you just look at the character of those floating these idiotic theories, you would share my opinion.

Answer 16

No. Only a select few semi-retarded kids.
