    A lot of the conspiracy theories around 9/11 are like Occam’s Ducttape, where it’s the most complicated answer possible that falls apart when one asks why. The simple answer is that American Imperialism has consequences.

      only saying that the CIA was definitely involved in radicalizing terror cells & that the FBI ignored warnings is the same cover given & interference run for the Kennedy assassination or for King's assassination or for the release of information about MKUltra etc.

      we know there is foul play & preemptive government knowledge & planning in all of these incidents, but it's always only accidental & almost "circumstantial" that material evidence is ever revealed about these clandestine operations

        Its a lot easier to shoot a man on a balcony and blame it on another man than to fly hijack 4 planes. I don’t believe the US had an “accident” because I believe they let it happen on purpose.

        Also, the CIA isn’t being let off the hook. The CIA, even without 9/11, is a terrorist organization. What are the consequences for leftism if we don’t believe the CIA did 9/11?

          If you believe the US let it happen on purpose, then there really isn't anything logically preventing you from recognizing that complicity & foreknowledge are the same as culpability

            I believe they were complicit and I believe that they are to blame. I don’t believe that they themselves demolished the towers

              If we know there are connections between Bin Laden and the CIA & anti-communist operations with Salafist groups going back to the 1970s, then there are both knowns & unknowns

              it's no mystery that 9/11 was a crisis that wasn't allowed to go to waste. and the larger context of planning to blame Saddam within hours of the attack & subsequent issues with Anthrax etc all point to a larger contingency in place for such events.

              I can't know what I can't know, and neither can anyone else, but that doesn't mean that the explanations given are satisfactory
