9/11 was a conspiracy not a conspiracy theory

Why do some people here not even doubt a bit about the USA government? Why do you accept every claim they make. After a long history of deceives and lies, why blindly believe the "official story". Independent researches are most of the times a better indication of what actually happened.

I guess you see most independent experts such as those of Blue Print as insane conspiracists that all of a sudden saw the opportunity to attack the government after years of waiting in secret for something like this to happen (isn't that a conspiracy theory at its best?). These people are risking their credibility and are among the most important in the industry. Why risk it? Why even care if people would dismiss you as a crazy extremist? It's because the truth is not what we all were told. It's painfully obvious that these chains of events including the consequences (wars, new legislations, tax money for investigations, etc) are not casual.

Believe what you want, but it enrages me, and I'm not even a US citizen, that some US citizens feel attacked whenever someone suggests that what your government is telling you is not the truth. Even if the attacks happened without previous knowledge and all buildings collapsed without any external assistance, the wars that followed, the liberties that were taken away and all the money sunken in dubious investigations are an accurate indicator that there were ulterior motives for the attacks. It was just the detonator. I'm really sad that people keep on ignoring the truth because it hurts them.

I think the US government is corrupt, inneffectual, and a farce. But there is a difference between saying my neighbor is an asshole, and saying my neighbor has a pile a mutilated corpses in his basement that he eats. Especially when there is no evidence of mutilated corpses in the basement and the guys claiming the contrary are the wierd hobo, the guy that can't stop talking about the jews, and some random asshole that just likes attention.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And the claim that the US orchestrated the destruction of one of it's own landmarks in a plan to make itself the jack ass idiot of the world that is stupidly in debt and make china the next great world power, is not a great theory, and is an extraordinary one.  There are biologists that argue against evolution in the year  2011, and geologists that claim the earth is 6000 years old in the year 2011. The fact that you can find an educated idiot is not evidence of anything that idiot says. You can find people that say they saw bigfoot, or say that they were anally probed by lizard people. Scientology manages to be immensely profitable. The fact that you can find idiots that claim they've witnessed or experienced things does not mean Tom Cruise has telekenetic healing powers. And a few random jack asses saying they saw explosions, or say they have a degree in engineering and they don't understand how it could happen, are not extraordinary forms of evidence, anymore than the geologist that claims the grand canyon was formed in 40 days by a flood, or some dude that claims he wrestled the chupacobra.

The American government is stupid and broken, and our media is just reality TV hosted by people with degrees in journalism. But that doesn't make the 911 theories less stupid.
