I think there are two naive conceits here in this 9/11 Truth conspiracy movement. All of them are so tragically pathetic that it pains me to think what we are headed for as a nation. The pain comes from the fact that 9/11 conspiracy people are not just a handful of wackaloons, but that they represent such a large cross section of the American population. Such a disconnect from reality is frightfully dangerous in a nation that is supposed to be governed by its electorate.
The first conceit is government competence. This is the conceit that our government is something more than a bunch of mediocre bunch of guys who come to the trough and gorge themselves on the best that capitalism has to offer while rigging the system to perpetuate that. This may sound cynical, but it is happening every day right in front of our eyes.
If you are to believe that these people are competent enough to mastermind the kind of 9/11 event that people are proposing then you have to explain everything else that is happening in the country by the same set of dynamics.
In other words, you have to believe that the people who could mastermind controlling the entire national air traffic control grid, enlisting all the branches of the military, fly real planes by remote control into buildings or use holographic images, plant strategic charges in a heavily used office building, fly missiles into the Pentagon and drop airplane parts on the scene from a C130, all without detection or any leaks from those involved are the same people who destroyed FEMA, appoint incompetents like Michael Brown, invade a middle eastern country with absolutely no planning, and stand mute and powerless in the aftermath of something like hurrican Katrina.
You have to explain why these criminal masterminds were out-planned by Walmart and Anderson Cooper who all managed to be on the scene in the middle of hurrican Katrina, bringing truckloads of aid into the area or simply reporting on the facts on the ground that the government was unable to discern. You have to wrap your mind around why these criminal masterminds judged Michael Brown to be doing "a heck of a job". You also have to reconcile the fact that this amazingly competent set of criminal masterminds have somehow managed to maneuver themselves into being the least popular administration since no one knows when. Having destroyed the economy, condoned abhorrent principles of torture and pre-emptive war, destroyed America's standing around the world at a time when world cooperation is most needed, you have to somehow figure that if these guys are so competent, is this part of their evil master plan?
So this is the first conceit. It is the conceit that the government is competent or even mediocre.
