I found the infamous 9/11 debate on c2c very
entertaining. Still I can’t really say there were
many actual points made between the arguing and
certainly not enough of them to change my mind either
way. I suppose if it really came down to it I would
have to say I lean a bit closer to the Alex Jones
side, but that said I certainly don’t believe
everything Alex has to say. Still I suppose in Art’s
book I would still be considered a “wingnut” and I
don’t mind a bit.
One thing I believe for certain is that enough people
in the Government had knowledge that something of this
sort was being planned that had they put concentrated
effort toward it they could have prevented it from
happening. So that leaves me with only a couple
choices of why it did happen, either they were too
disorganized to be effective or they wanted it to
happen. I personally think both are true. While I
think most people in the CIA or FBI were just too
disorganized to stop it I also believe there are
certain people higher up that wanted it to happen.
To say that they had no clue that anything like that
could happen is just a lie. I remember very clearly
while Bill Clinton was President and man tried to fly
a small plane into the White House. Even without the
intelligence they gathered about terror plots that
alone should have alerted them that this could happen
on a much bigger scale. Is our government really that
stupid? I am sure some people will think they are,
but the fact is that they can be very smart when it
serves their purpose.
Another thing that really bothers me that could cause
me to lean more towards the Alex Jones side is the way
the buildings collapsed. Besides the fact that the
fire was not hot enough to melt steel I have seen
buildings that have collapsed due to fire (that were
not steel) and they did not implode the way the towers
did, they fell to one side. One of the guests the
other night put forward a interesting thought which
was that there is evidence that the government wires
certain building that have highly classified data in
them to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. So
being that the towers had many different government
agencies in it that could be the answer to why they
were brought down. Does that mean the government or
secret government set the whole thing up? It does not
convince me, but anything is possible.
Within c2c itself is a big disagreement between
George and Art of what they think took place. Art
doesn’t even seem willingly to admit there could have
been some foreknowledge of the event and George on the
other hand seems to believe anything Alex Jones tells
him. Art’s good friend Whitley doesn’t seem
completely sure what went on, but much like me seems
to lean toward the Alex Jones side without believing
absolutely everything Alex says. How did Art end up
outside the conspiracy loop? It is unlike him, but
some people just do not want to believe such things
because it makes their life happier not to.
I think this debate will go on endlessly just like
the JFK conspiracy debate, people will take sides and
“conspiracy wingnuts” on the one side will never be
truly believed no matter what type of proof they may
come up with. Maybe not believed is too strong, I
think most people now believe that JFK was not killed
by Oswald acting alone, but the media and the
government does not really acknowledge that such a
thing is possible. So I guess it would be better to
say that it will never be officially acknowledged that
there was a conspiracy or that there could have been a
conspiracy. So as so often happens it is doubtful
that the American people will ever know the whole
truth of what really happened on 9/11 and maybe a lot
of them really don’t want to know anyway.
I guess I find it hard to understand why so many
people seem to fully trust the government or at the
very least ignore their obvious deceptions. It seems
like every week something new comes out that they have
lied about. It will be reported every once in a while
for a day or two and nobody seems to really care so
the news just quits reporting on it and goes back to
topics that people do watch like Michael Jackson, the
runaway bride and Tom Cruise. I probably have been
too hard on the mass media lately, after all they go
by ratings and if the American people are more
interested in Michael Jackson then that is what they
will spend the most time reporting. I guess if we as
a nation really are more interested in the tabloid
type stuff from the mass media then we will probably
get what we deserve, whatever that turns out to be.
