Everyone remembers 9/11 and the tragedy that struck New York. This was such a huge event that the whole world was affected in many different ways. People everywhere grieved for the victims and their families. The conspiracy theories of 9/11 have become one of the biggest to take place in this era.
There is overwhelming evidence that proves this terrible tragedy was the direct result of a conspiracy and that it was carefully planned and executed. No one can dispute these facts and they prove it was no accident. However, the conspiracy theories come from the question, who was the ones actually responsible for the attack? This is where different views begin to take shape and confusion sets in.
It’s known that Osama Bin Laden along with a group of Saudi hijackers made played a big role in the conspiracy, but who else was involved? According to these theories fingers are pointing to the former President Bush, Vice-President Cheney and some of the government’s top advisors.
These theories indicate that Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz either allowed these attacks to happen or they collaborated with Bin Laden to make it happen. Either way, this means that it was an inside job that could have been prevented. Having said that you have to ask the question, why would the government allow something this tragic to happen if it could have been prevented?
Conspiracy theorists actually have several answers to this question. For example, they believe that it was allowed to happen so the United States would have an excuse to go to war. This would justify the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, which in turn could help to increase the United States control over the oil resources of the Middle East. It’s also believed that it justifies the increased military spending and that it would restrict the domestic civil liberties.
Conspiracy theorist claim to have a list of inconsistencies that is said to prove their accusations are true. Some of these include the theory that the World Trade Center was not weakened by the fire but by the result of a controlled demolition. Some believe that instead of a plane hitting the pentagon it was a missile.
Many people choose to believe the conspiracy theories of 9/11 because they can’t believe that our nation was that vulnerable or that our government simply didn’t detect the plot in time to prevent it from happening. It’s important to know that for each one of the theories of conspiracy listed there is counter proof that it couldn’t have happened that way. At this point, it comes down to what the individual chooses to believe but one day there may be enough proof to settle it once and for all.
