I was having a lively discussion with a local person recently about
911, and was surprised at their adamant belief that the US was behind
the 911 disasters. So I did a bit of checking on the Net, just casually,
and found plenty of rebuttals from every angle. Below are a few links
with bits of info.
I'll pass 'em along here,
just FYI. My wife says people in Hungary are pron to believe any such
sort of stuff. Alas, it seems to be true.
The shortest, most readable one was from Australia, actually:
Check it out for brevity. The author notes that "PSYCHOLOGISTS will tell you that even perfectly sane people have the
ability to accept wild conspiracy theories. The more powerless or alone
we feel, the more likely we are to develop such theories."
For
a highly detailed series of articles, check out these by Popular
Mechanics. Below is the link to one of them and a small excerpt from all
the material available.
Debunking the 9/11 Myths: Special Report - The World Trade Center
The following
content is from an in-depth investigation of the conspiracy theories surround
the attacks of 9/11, which was published in the March 2005 issue of Popular Mechanics. That cover story was expanded and
published in August 2006 as a book titled Debunking 9/11 Myths. The fully
revised and updated 2011 edition of the book is now on sale.
The collapse of both World
Trade Center towers—and the smaller WTC 7 a few hours later—initially surprised
even some experts. But subsequent studies have shown that the WTC's structural
integrity was destroyed by intense fire as well as the severe damage inflicted
by the planes. That explanation hasn't swayed conspiracy theorists, who contend
that all three buildings were wired with explosives in advance and razed in a
series of controlled demolitions.
Widespread Damage
Claim: The first
hijacked plane crashed through the 94th to the 98th floors of the World Trade
Center's 110-story North Tower; the second jet slammed into the 78th to the
84th floors of the 110-story South Tower. The impact and ensuing fires
disrupted elevator service in both buildings. Plus, the lobbies of both
buildings were visibly damaged before the towers collapsed. "There is NO
WAY the impact of the jet caused such widespread damage 80 stories below,"
claims a posting on the San Diego Independent Media Center Web site (sandiego.indymedia.org).
"It is OBVIOUS and irrefutable that OTHER EXPLOSIVES (... such as
concussion bombs) HAD ALREADY BEEN DETONATED in the lower levels of tower one
at the same time as the plane crash."
FACT: Following up
on a May 2002 preliminary report by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), a major study will be released in spring 2005 by the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST), a branch of the U.S. Department of
Commerce. NIST shared its initial findings with PM and made its lead researcher
available to our team of reporters.
The NIST investigation revealed that plane debris sliced
through the utility shafts at the North Tower's core, creating a conduit for
burning jet fuel—and fiery destruction throughout the building. "It's very
hard to document where the fuel went," says Forman Williams, a NIST
adviser and a combustion expert, "but if it's atomized and combustible and
gets to an ignition source, it'll go off."
Burning fuel traveling down the elevator shafts would have
disrupted the elevator systems and caused extensive damage to the lobbies. NIST
heard first-person testimony that "some elevators slammed right down"
to the ground floor. "The doors cracked open on the lobby floor and flames
came out and people died," says James Quintiere, an engineering professor
at the University of Maryland and a NIST adviser. A similar observation was
made in the French documentary "9/11," by Jules and Gedeon Naudet. As
Jules Naudet entered the North Tower lobby, minutes after the first aircraft
struck, he saw victims on fire, a scene he found too horrific to film.
Ron again: Too horrific to film. Oh, well, a "Truther" would say
it wasn't filmed because it didn't happen. But whatever. This is just
one of the Popular Mechanics pieces. See also:
Wikipedia has an article on the book that resulted from PM's research:
The left-wing Guardian had an article on this, too:
Here's the link an an excerpt:
Israel was behind the attacks in order to draw America into a
conflict with Arab nations
The evidence claimed for this theory is that 4,000 Jews who supposedly worked at the WTC failed to report for work on 11 September because they had been forewarned by the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad.
However, the figure appears to be based on a statement made by the Israeli foreign minister that about 4,000 Israelis were in the cities under attack at the time. More than one in ten of those who died on 9/11 were Jewish.

Here's a piece from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp news people:
And here's one from the BBC, from earlier this year:

Subsequent investigations made it clear that the tower
structures were weakened by the inferno from the planes and felled by the
weight of collapsing floors. However even now some people refuse to believe
this version of events.
An Préachán: People like a scapegoat. Quite often, historically, it was
the Jews, and often also the Freemasons. George Soros certainly causes
endless trouble, but though of Jewish descent, he is about as Jewish at a
rock on Mars somewhere. And Freemasons do indeed, some of them, here
and there, work assiduously to further their ends, as do the Communists
on their "long march" through Western institutions and academia and
education in general. All true. A good portion of the Muslim world is no
more radical than a Methodist or a Baptist, but yet -- oh so obviously
-- it isn't the latter two who are murdering and raping across the world
in such insane fashion.
However, the real problem is a bit closer to home, in our own natures.
Very difficult to understand our own inner thoughts and motivations -- very difficult indeed. But we are the reasons we let these others manipulate us, to the extent they actually ever do.
