    The interesting question is what if it came out and it became undeniable, what would happen then?

      Still nothing. People would be like wow that’s messed up then go back to their lives.

      I mean the CIA was literally caught spying on congress and they just keep shoveling money to them lol.

        Most people don't give a shit about Congress but they've been trained to give Very Much a Shit about 9/11 victims because of how useful that is to the war crimes industrial complex.

        That firehose is not actually ever going to be turned around back on the system, but if it was, it would be significant.

      The media would pivot to "Bush did 9/11, but that's good actually". We'd see tons of nuclear takes like "it was needed to unify the West, NATO may have disbanded without a common enemy and then Putler would have marched all the way to Berlin twenty years later."

      Like most politicians are actively denying climate change and about half denied COVID existing, so what do you mean by "undeniable"?

      If you're a cynical actor there's nothing you can't deny. After that large swaths of the population will simply believe that denial as the truth and kill any momentum.

        By undeniable I mean things happening that obviously aren't remotely likely, such as extremely specific documents and recordings being leaked, followed by a confession by major perpetrators. Arrests. Attempts to go after 99 year old George Bush or whatever.

        At some level it would become actually be undeniable to anyone who doesn't deny the Sun exists and the Earth is round, which is currently a sufficient number of people to have a societal impact.

        Even George Floyd's death, which was one guy getting murdered, and a Black guy at that, still had a lot of conservatives on the back foot, like "well, that was obviously horrible but" and so on. Not all of them but a lot.
