    The biggest problem there is that natsec ghouls are just really, really, mindboggingly stupid and barely able to do more than throw guns and money at the worst people they can find in a country they don't like. They're vicious monsters and entirely morally and psychologically able to want to do something like that, but if they'd tried to actually carry out something so complicated with so many points of failure it would have either blown up in their face or come out immediately.

    Even when it comes to things they're good at (death squads, drug smuggling, funneling money and weapons to fascist militants, targeting activists for persecution or assassination, etc) they're shit at keeping it secret and only get away with it because of the massive institutional support they have and because all of those things are acceptable to the American ruling class. Wiping out a bunch of white collar workers and traumatizing an entire city that's home to a large chunk of the American bourgeoisie isn't exactly the sort of thing that gets them glowing opeds in the NYT praising them for training hErOiC fReEdOm FiGhTeRs like that scrappy young Saudi noble who's taking the fight to the Soviets in Afganistan, whatever his name was.

      I mean....It did come out immediately

      A lot of this stuff was mainstream knowledge at the time. You got WTC7 collapsing for no reason, missing plane engines in the Pentagon that hit the side of the Pentagon that was investigating 2.7 trillion USD missing (lol)

      You got all the firefighters that testified to hearing controlled demolition explosives as they were going into rescue (who signed documents testifying to this as most of them are dead from types of cancer they got in the rescue now)

      Controlled demolition experts testifying that there's no way a building can fall at free fall speed (because the floor beneath it slows the speed of a building collapse) and that what you see in the towers collapsing is controlled demolition

      Awful saudi pilots doing perfect 270 degree turns in a jumbo jet that most professional pilots with years under their belt were unable to recreate

      And like all the invasions, death squads, drug smuggling and weapons to fascist militias or jihadis they don't even really bother to cover it up.

      It's all there you can go read about it. The problem is it's not on mainstream news so is on fringe outlets that have integrity that only a handful of people read.

      What they've successfully done though is give their population brainworms by popularising "conspiracy theory" and for their population to have a reaction to it like Pavlovs dog (where you ring a bell before feeding a dog and after a while when you ring the bell they start to salivate). They just say "conspiracy theory" and the population has that reaction despite the absolute mountains of evidence against it.

        They’ve pretty much gaslighted the public into believing that conspiracy theories are wrong by default.
