Bin Laden was an American Agent anyone? The towers were brought down by a controlled demolition perhaps?
I blame the Kennedy assasination myself, mainly because the theories behind that are more than plausible and it lends legitimacy to any old weirdo willing to shout about how much of a rebel against the system they are for thinking Jews blew up the twin towers or some such leap of faith.
anyway, rant over. Heres Harry Pussy

Sure, tesla69 is always posting right-wing bullshit. Case in point of something that has been exposed as deliberately planned: the '
Arkansas Project' stuff - ask him about Hillary Clintons dirty deeds or about the death of Vince Foster.
But what is plausible about the Kennedy assassination theories? Nothing.
What is at fault is that the US is a very frightened society, always looking for something to blame and a villain trying to subsume it; and great political capital can be made out of manipulating this.
If you look through history you'll see that this enemy plotting against America - Indigenous population, Black slaves, Catholic immigrants (the essay '
The Paranoid Style in American Politics' has a great excerpt from a newspaper editorial from the 1850s regarding this), Chinese immigrants (Jack London was writing that those innocent looking Chinese laundry's were but the first stage of an invasion and the Chinks posed such an insurmountable threat to America that only the mass extermination of main-land Chinas population with chemical weapons could possibly forestall take over), and right up to the present – is invariably
the target of American aggression! So maybe that's psychological projection.
This Conspiracy stuff will also keep distracted on a wild-goose chase people who are otherwise concerned about the state of society but are so bamboozled by media and miseducation they're seriously pursuing Satanic plots or the NWO or who killed JFK or who really did 9/11.
To demonstrate and bring it back to your JFK thing: in 45 years of work what have the countless number of people devoting their time & effort to the JFK Assassination investigation done for Civil Rights? Women's Rights? Curtailing US aggression abroad? Making the US a more civilized society? The Environmental movement? The Solidarity movement? Anything at all? What has it done besides keep an awful lot of people distracted and made some money for the makers of countless books and documentaries? But in one sense you are right in that it clearly showed to the spin teams how people could be easily kept out of the political proces with utter nonsense.
