    A lot of truthers just think they knew about the Saudi plot and just let it happen - I'm not sure why you think he needs to be some mastermind to pull that off.

    When I read about Bush doing 9/11 now, my mental image is always him crawling around the air ducts in WTC 1+2, Diehard style, whistling while he's planting thermite bombs.

      The guy who flaked from the national guard, a huckster developer failson, and a geriatric with dementia walk into a bar and say “listen jack, we run the biggest empire the world has ever known” :biden-icecream:

    I go back and forth on this stuff. It's hard not to acknowledge that most of the things people think of as these massive triggers for some kind of public revolt don't actually have that power. So from the perspective of the government ghouls they can just do ridiculously evil shit all the time, throw up the flimsiest excuses and nobody really cares.

    Like with Iraq the normal stuff that everyone admits to happening is the marines going to door to door killing entire families in the haditha massacre, the army opening fire on a bunch of student protestors, the CIA grabbing random people off the street and torturing them to death, deliberately dropping bombs on first responders, etc, etc. It's all blips people barely acknowledge now.

    So if that is your day to day you have to circle around and ask, well, what isn't possible for you to do? How far can you go before the world offers any meaningful resistance?

    That "dumb cowboy" schtick was so effective that it's still working today.

    See, he would have kept it a secret, if it weren't for my superior intellect and mine alone.

    folks literally have access to gigabytes of declassified documents describing how Bush 100% knew of and was consistently briefed on the forthcoming attacks and and how the hijackers stayed with an FBI informant and yet still go "hmmm, idk if we knew beforehand"

    I spent many an all nighter in 2002 reading 911truthsearch.net or whatever the fuck existed then.

    I held onto the Harry Samit arresting Zacarias Moussaoui but the FBI doing nothing means they wanted 9-11 to happen theory for a while 🙄

      For the longest time I fully believed the Mossad did 9/11 via a controlled demolition and remote controlled planes. I was obsessed with the dancing Israelis cheering on about the towers falling. I was deep in that rabbit hole.

        I find it likely that the Mossad did get subcontracted onto the job.

            So, the dancing Israelis were a documented thing, and they were likely Mossad agents. Everywhere else I look, I see CIA fingerprints everywhere. So, at some point, you have to tie the two together. The CIA 100 percent engineered 9/11. They blew the towers apart with thermite after flying planes into them. They demolished Building 7 in order to hide evidence. An F-16 fired a missile at the Pentagon. The 4th plane was shot down, likely by the same F-16. They probably used Mossad agents to hide the trail from the FBI, their bitter rivals. If the FBI found this out, they could blackmail Congress for more funding.
