I hate to sound like a one trick pony, a one note trumpet, a single issue politician, but I also don’t like being called crazy.
Over on the Huffington Puffball there is a particularly condescending article about
Building owner Larry Silverstein got $10 billion in the insurance settlement
9/11 conspiracy theories. First, the title of the article is: From JFK to 9/11 Conspiracy Theories Thrive.
Admittedly, I think that both of these events were inside jobs, involving highly placed people in the U.S. government (LBJ, for example), but they are very different events and deserve to be treated separately.
Then, they have this little gem: Conspiracies can be a “security blanket” for explaining away the horrific, asserts Patrick Leman, a University of London professor who researches 9/11 theories. “It stops us from having to confront the unpredictability of life.” First, if you just replace the word “conspiracies” with “official explanations” you have a true statement. Secondly, he’s saying we are delusional. We are not delusional.
Their arguments are evolving, albeit slowly and not in a constructive direction. At first, when we talked about the impossibility of steel framed buildings collapsing straight down at near freefall speed, they just shouted “You’re nuts!” and called us heartless and un-American. When we talked about building 7 they said “I bet you believe in Bigfoot, too, har, har. When we pointed out that the head of security for the World Trade Center was Marvin Bush, they said “You’re paranoid” and “I just can’t believe our government would do something like that,” totally ignoring the fact that our government has done similar things in the past (Gulf of Tonkin, attack on the USS Liberty, using the accidental sinking of the battleship Maine to start the Spanish-American war). When we pointed out that in the founding statement of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC), signed by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and many other prominent neo-cons, it was written “a Pearl Harbor style event would be required to fully implement our agenda” they said it would be impossible to have a conspiracy that size. (No, it wouldn’t)
So now, they still say that we’re nuts, but they say it in a politer way. There is one other argument they are using more and more, I found a few of them in the comments section below the article, and it is a very disturbing argument indeed. “It doesn’t matter any more. We can never prove anything so just let it go. Move on.”
In other words, forget 9/11.
It’s not going to happen. I think that a conspiracy of highly placed people which included Vice President Cheney, presidential brother Marvin Bush (and maybe Jeb but definitely not George because why tell the dumb guy), and building owner Larry Silverstein, as well as possibly Rumsfeld and Rove, arranged for explosives to be planted in WTC 1, WTC 2 and WTC 7. The airplanes were just for show.
I’m not crazy and I’m not going to shut up.
