September 11, 2001

[Reigning1979]

I'm not too sure where this post should go. I was researching September 11th, 2001 and I saw a thread here. However, it wasnt exactly what I wanted to say.

I spent hours tonight looking at the pictures and reading the profiles of the victims of September 11th. I learned about their families, children, hobbies, jobs, and so many other things. There were so many! Each page I read brought fresh tears to my eyes. To be quite honest, even though I don't know anyone on those lists, and even after all this time, it hurts to see those pictures and remember that horrible day.

I dont know if anyone here knew any of the victims, or had to endure the unfair loss of a loved one during that tragedy, but as an American, I wanted to post something just in rememberence to all the innocent people who lost their lives, as well as to pay tribute to the surviving relatives and friends.

September 11, 2001 will never be forgotten, nor should it ever be. Whether it was caused by terrorist, or the government, or whomever you choose to believe, the one salient point which should never be forgotten or dismissed is that none of the innocent victims of that horriffic tragedy deserved their fate. Their memory and deaths are what should truly matter. I do hope the truth comes out. I hope their passings are avenged. They deserve no less. That day should never have happened. But it did, and for what it's worth, I'm sorry I never knew any of the people who were lost. I'm sorry for the pain, and heartbreak, the sorrow, and for every tear shed by the orphaned children, widowed spouses, and bereaved parents, relatives and friends.

God bless every victim of September 11, 2001. May they all be remembered, cherished, and rest in peace.

Thank you.

Seems a bit strange that someone would sign up to this board to post that. It's not even the anniversary either.

lol. Man, no matter what happens when it comes to any big event like 9/11 people will try and claim it's a conspiracy. There are thousands of them out there. I just can't believe people buy into this.

The Looniest 911 Theory

You are right. Here's the Looniest 911 Theory! zg

“Let us not tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories,” President Bush stated amid increasingly loud accusations that his administration may have allowed the tragic events of 9/11 to occur as a pretext justifying U.S. expansion of armed conflict around the world to allegedly wage war on terrorism. Curiously, most of the “outrageous conspiracy theories” to which he refers incorporate some extremely sound science, logic and witness testimony where the official version is lacking in those critical areas.

The following is a rather clever and immensely sarcastic approach to the government's explanation of 9/11 -- which follows a pattern established by the “magic bullet theory” to explain the assassination of JFK and a Ryder truck full of fertilizer and fuel oil to explain the damage at the Murrah federal building in OK City.

The Looniest 911 Theory

Astute observers of history are aware that for every notable event there will usually be at least one ,often several wild conspiracy theories which spring up around it. "The CIA killed Hendrix" " The Pope had John Lennon murdered ", "Hitler was half Werewolf", "Space aliens replaced Nixon with a clone" etc,etc. The bigger the event, the more ridiculous and more numerous are the fanciful rantings which circulate in relation to it.

So its hardly surprising that the events of Sept 11 2001 have spawned their fair share of these ludicrous fairy tales. And as always, there is - sadly - a small but gullible percentage of the population eager to lap up these tall tales, regardless of facts or rational analysis.

One of the wilder stories circulating about Sept 11, and one that has attracted something of a cult following amongst conspiracy buffs is that it was carried out by 19 fanatical Arab hijackers, masterminded by an evil genius named Osama bin Laden, with no apparent motivation other than that they "hate our freedoms."

Never a group of people to be bothered by facts, the perpetrators of this cartoon fantasy have constructed an elaborately woven web of delusions and unsubstantiated hearsay in order to promote this garbage across the internet and the media to the extent that a number of otherwise rational people have actually fallen under its spell.

Normally I don't even bother debunking this kind of junk, but the effect that this paranoid myth is beginning to have requires a little rational analysis, in order to consign it to the same rubbish bin as all such silly conspiracy theories.

These crackpots even contend that the extremist Bush regime was caught unawares by the attacks, had no hand in organizing them, and actually would have stopped them if it had been able. Blindly ignoring the stand down of the US air-force, the insider trading on airline stocks - linked to the CIA, the complicit behavior of Bush on the morning of the attacks, the controlled demolition of the WTC, the firing of a missile into the Pentagon and a host of other documented proofs that the Bush regime was behind the attacks, the conspiracy theorists stick doggedly to a silly story about 19 Arab hijackers somehow managing to commandeer 4 planes simultaneously and fly them around US airspace for nearly 2 hours ,crashing them into important buildings, without the US intelligence services having any idea that it was coming, and without the Air Force knowing what to do.

The huge difficulties with such a stupid story force them to invent even more preposturous stories to distract from its core silliness, and thus the tale has escalated into a mythic fantasy of truly gargantuan proportions.
