    The entire Flight 007 downing was to assasinate Congressman Larry McDonald.

    As Barrie Zwicker suggests, "[at a certain point,] the term conspiracy-theory becomes just an excuse not to do your homework." CLICK HERE.

    Have you had enough time to think carefully about the answer to my F93 question yet Phillip or do you need a few more weeks? :wavey:

    In 1997 a fighter with
    two each 500-pound bombs left a test range in New Mexico
    and flew to Colorado to about where the av-fuel would run out.
    The crashed plane was found, but nobody admited to finding
    the two each 500-pound bombs.

    As usual, I have a theory. Recall there is a town in New Mexico
    where in 1945, just before the war was over the conspiritial
    one-world-government secret conspirators zapped a part of
    a destroyer forward into time (they got most of it back).

    So the rabid conspirators put the two each two
    each 500-pound bombs back to April 19, 1995
    where the two each 500-pound bombs were dropped
    on the Murruh Building in downtown Oklahoma City where
    ten buildings were destroyed and 163 people killed.

    Hey, this story would be better if those were 2,000 pound
    bombs. Yes, In 1997 a fighter with
    two each 2,000-pound bombs left a test range in New Mexico
    and flew to Colorado to about where the av-fuel would run out.
    The crashed plane was found, but nobody admited to finding
    the two each 2,000-pound bombs. ...

    9/11 Conspiracy Theories -- The Latest Popular Political Lie

    Written by Doc Farmer
    Thursday, August 17, 2006


    Y’know, I’m always amazed at the intelligence and adaptability of people. How they can assess a situation, analyze the various components, determine the cause/effect process, and come up with innovative answers and solutions to various circumstances. That’s given us cars, airplanes, sliced bread, plutonium, that “new and improved” Segway two-wheeled scooter thingy, and, of course, Pop Tarts. Yet, at the same time, I have to marvel at how some people can take all those situations, components, processes, etc., and come up with the most moronic theories, assumptions, and SWAG (deleted).

    Now, sadly, this stupidity seems to have gained full flower. And all from a “study” or poll done a few weeks back, which claims that a full one-third of all Americans (that’s 100 million people) believe that the United States Government was complicit or actively involved in the 9/11 attacks. Granted, they only asked 1010 Americans their opinion, and I’ve complained about the inaccuracy of ''scientific'' polls in the past, but this is just a bit much.

    I believe in conspiracies, just in case you’re wondering. I know there was more to JFK’s death than some whacked out ex-jarhead married to a Rooskie. Whenever Dad has to go down to Wright-Patterson AFB to pick up his prescriptions, I always make sure to ask him to “wave at the aliens” who were transported there from Roswell. I know that American Idol is fixed. Therefore, nobody can say that I totally dismiss all conspiracy theories.

    However, this one is just so stupid it beggars belief.

    SNIP

    This seems to be their mindset, though. No matter WHAT happens, blame somebody else. America is attacked? Don’t blame Islamofascists; blame Dubya’s conspiratorial genius. Hurricanes hit New Orleans? Don’t blame the weather; blame Dubya and his magical hurricane generator. Soufflé didn’t rise? Lordy, that Dubya’s just causing problems all over the place, ain’t he?

    More sage wisdom from a guy that lives to blame everything on the vast liberal conspiracy. :laugh:

    I saw an interesting book in the bookstore a few days ago, I think it was titled Myths of 9/11 or some such, which took a close look at the conspiracy theories abounding and addressed the points being made about the WTC buildings.

    FTR, there are a few good books and articles refuting the conspiricy theories, unfortunately they are swamped by the sheer number of paranoia-based ones.

    Here is a good article on the subject by an organization that is in no way pro-Bush.
