Clarify whether you are suggesting it's possible that 12/15/19 is a possible number of maximum people who knew of the 9/11 attack

The reason why the US didnt/couldnt stop it was because very very few people knew it was going to happen, it was even suggested that the muscle hijackers didnt know what was happening up until the planes had been hijacked.

Sorry Miss, for some reason I had it in my head that you were 'pro-conspiracy', and therefore that when you argued that low numbers could be involved, you were arguing low numbers from the American point of view. If you're arguing straight up 19 blokes got on various planes, as directed by Mr X and did as per the official storyline, then I'd agree it's possible, though if I were a betting man I'd say, just for the sake of following the likely outcome, that a good number more than those directly involved, plus A N other were in the know.
If the whole thing was an American plot, or at the very least the Americans knew about it, then that's when we're talking a far greater number of people having to know about the whole thing for it to have been carried out |

Most conspiracy theorists of the type seen on this thread have some degree of paranoid schizophrenia. Sorry, but it's the truth. They are 100% committed to their delusions and no amount of rational explanation will make the slightest difference.
Most of them also smoke way too much dope. And they have an all consuming need to make we 'sheep' see the light. It's sctually all a bit scary. |

With the amount of " alleged " conspiracies that i have read of here in the past, i would surmise that the conspirators need to get way better at doing what they do!
They seem to find it practically impossible to fool even the dimmest internet user who was most likely thousands of kilometres away when the given conspiracy played out. Conspiracy theorists, take a good look at what may be missing in your life that makes you see things that are just NOT there! you twist flimsy facts around to try and make an even flimsier case for this that and the next thing to give yourself an interest in carrying on in life. Some things are just as they seem and in the case of 911 your shameful accusations and denials degrade and insult the suffering of the unfortunates who were killed and affected. You were not there and were there the slightest proof of your inane ramblings then someone somewhere would have swung for it. The world is full of intrepid journalists who have broken big stories despite personal risk, who have taken on governments and won! In the case of 911, not a whisper! give it up you ignorant anoraks and move on! that is all! |

canaryboy, you do understand yet another thread questioning wether this that or the next thing was a conspiracy does not actually reveal that you are clever, have any kind of talent, are attractive to women or indeed validate you as a useful member of society in any way.
The very fact that you wish it to get above a certain number reveals that you have security and self worth issues that will never be solved here! That being said it is 1.01 that you will make several unsuccessful attempts to recreate what you see as the success of this thread in terms of response volume in the coming weeks by starting controversial threads that have most likely been done many times before when this effort slips away in a rather tawdry bid at elevating your personal feelings of self worth! over and out! |

|
|
By:
feel free to rant for pages and pages on there too
 |

By:
this whole forum is about contribution
without it, it would be nothing cheers for wasting your time on my thread  |
|
By:
canaryboy , i find those that use the word rant are really struggling to come up with a counter argument
that is all! time will prove the validity of my words, believe me!! |
|
By:
i'm not having an argument lol

A BNP thread would easily outnumber this.
Oh I forgot...we can argue about the deaths of thousands in the U.S.A. by muslims, but we can't discuss the BNP who have killed nobody in the UK, as the luvvies always get the threads pulled. |

The BNP did it.

A mate of mine is into all this stuff and he's paranoid and doesn't trust any one.He also used to do cannabis. It's more about a personality disorder than any so called evidence. |

Perhaps those of you who are so keen to attack anyone who questions the official theory could explain what evidence you find so compelling in support of the 19Arabs+boxcutters+OSB model?

conspiracy theorist look for clues in all the wrong places
if the Americans wanted two planes to crash into the WTC how hard would it be to find 20 people in some part of the world that hates the US, get them to take some lessons on how to fly a plane and let them slip onto the planes ? Can't be very hard, imo afterwards plant some qurans in their cars, 'find' one of the hijackers passports athe the site of destruction et voilà... |

I agree with your opening statement (though I'd add a "most" and broaden it to include non-CTs too). Much CT writing is sloppy, naive, faith-based, illogical and otherwise flawed (as is much mainstream journalism).
Your hypothesis is indeed one possibility (among many). |

I was unaware that we had a couple of mental health experts in our midst (Sunset and Wur).
Fwiw I'm not a paranoid schizophrenic,nor have I ever smoked cannabis,or indeed taken any illegal substances in all of my 51 years. It's ironic though that Wur,who likes to cultivate a persona of a pot-smoking bohemian,with his wacky and way out threads,should accuse anyone of smoking cannabis. |

I guess those who believe there were no hijakers or planes crashing into the twin towers on 11/9/2001, have no problem with the Islamic centre and mosque planned for near ground zero?
|
|
By:
why would anyone who doe believe there were hijakers or planes crashing into the twin towers have a problem with that ?
|
|
By:
I think I raad that the Islamic centre was replacing a similar facility that had been lost in the attacks. As the apparent terrorists were from an extremist fringe group, not representatie of Islam as a whole, I see no problem with it.

I'm not claiming to be a mental health expert. I'm just making an observation. I'm not saying that you are paranoid. I don't know you. I'm just observing that may be most that believe in conspiracy's have paranoid personality's. |

By:
Fair play for answering, Sunset. I'm well impressed you've read the 571-page 911 Commision report but surely you can't find all of it compelling? Which are the bits that particularly convinced you that the official story is true?
Also could you expain how the authorities were so certain of the identities of the "hijackers" within just a few hours of the attacks? Was it the grainy and oh-so-easily-forged CCTV footage? Or the impressively robust and fortuitous, but again all-too-easily-forged, passport? Or something else? |

By:
I think it shows that the USA despite being messed up in many ways is a tolerant country.Some one said recently on this forum that the media hadn't reported the mass rally against this Mosque being built.And that this some how was evidence of a conspiracy. This was another lie.The media did report it.
