    ^this. The furthest extent that there is some kind of 9/11 conspiracy is that the Bush admin might have been expecting some type of domestic event or other to happen that they could use as just cause for an invasion. They did not expect - let alone orchestrate - 9/11.

    Humans have pattern matching brains. It’s easy to find stuff like the building owner having a dermatologist appointment that day. And then you completely fail to analyze it in the context that he probably also had a dentist’s appointment the last week too. Same goes for every other thing.

      LIB

      9/11 truth isn’t just “Bush did 9/11”. it’s undeniable that there is more to the story than the commission (coverup) told people. people deserve to know the truth. acting dismissive of this is your yankee lib brain at work.

        Who even cares what the commission said? I never read it, I don’t care. al-Qaeda came up with a novel attack strategy and pulled it off because no one expected anything like that to ever happen because it had never been done before. It was blowback for US foreign policy fuckery. “people deserve to know the truth”? I wish them all luck. I hope they find whatever they’re looking for. But in 2024? It’s not relevant to contemporary politics.

        What people? Americans? You can show them Jesus and they’ll ignore you. The rest of the world? None of them cares because who gives a shit that 3000 Americans were killed? How many of their countrymen were killed by Americans? What’s lib shit is obsessing over a handful of Americans dying. The psyche of America won’t be change unless similar events happen again. The truth won’t matter.

      They were expecting something, and deprioritized/ignored investigations that might have prevented it. I think they were only surprised by the scale of it.

      The bigger and more obvious conspiracy was the package of actions they had pre-planned to take advantage of whatever happened (the Patriot Act, the Iraq War).
