Conspiracy Theories?

[Brazoo]

I can understand how the urgency and lack of communication just after 9/11 caused a lot of suspicion and panic that created the conspiracy theories - what I don't get is how an inside job conspiracy theory that would have involved millions of dollars and involved hundreds if not thousands of Americans - without a single whistle blower among them - is more plausible than terrorism.

Occam's Razor folks!

Come on Bryan this is not a thread about BP. You can post that elsewhere. Not cool man.

I am postulating that there is likely just as much chance of a conspiracy between Big Oil and governments worldwide as there is with anything else mentioned here, John.

TxTeach is right and stated right from the beginning no politics.

Please, no bashing or rants on politics. Let this be an informative thread on conspiracy theories.

Is that what that BP empoyee was ranting about? I thought you were making a statement about the whole oil spill. I guess one need to read between the lines on that one. Please everyone I did not start this thread to have anyone make political statements and get it shut down.

People, I'm not trying to start up political pot-stirring

One can argue conspiracy just about anywhere, really.

THIS. That's the thing about conspiracies, though - they're sexier than any true explanation. Also, IMHO (so as not to offend anyone here on the boards and their beliefs) lots of folks don't want to believe that such things like 9/11 can happen here. In the Middle East, sure, because it's happened there so often, and has been extensively documented. But here? Nope! The only way something like this could've happened was it being an inside job, hence it's a conspiracy.

Best thing to do is do your own research - watch the videos, listen to different opinions, really read and study everything, then form your own opinion.

That's because people love to point fingers instead of take responsibility. It's easier and more comforting for some people to blame some nebulous secret group than accept the hard fact that people can be stupid, lazy, incompetent or unprepared and sometimes no matter how prepared we might be or think we are, bad things are still going to happen out of our control.

Conspiracy theories? YEs there are many, but only 1 truth viewed from multiple perspectives. Alien coverups in Area -51, why not? I have always thought it popmus for us to believe that we are not only alone, but first. Life as we know it is a different story all together. Kennedy was murdered by multiple gunners, and speaking as a New Yorker directly affected by the events of 9/11, i would have to say, yes there was government involvement/substancial coverups, hands down. and my favorite? The Montauk Project. STRANGE THINGS used to happen here in the 70's/80's

Hey txteach, I just wanted to say that I've reflected on my postings on this thread, and I do have a political/rant edge. I think I can't separate that from anything that I would take the time to post here, so I'll lay off.
