I’m…stunned. Where was he on 9/11? They played the same footage 24/7 for three fucking months. A snuff film on cable TV. We invaded two countries, killed or displaced well north of 2 million people in those countries, and are still fucking in them!

He doesn’t remember…

One thing I’ve always wondered is, why did all the 9/11 conspiracy theorists never once put forth the obvious proposition; they simply asked their Wahabi-contras to do it, then preceded to attack an Arab nationalist government (Baathist Iraq), and a thinly veiled Pashtun nationalist one (Taliban’s Afghanistan)? Instead we’re treated with ideas of flying holograms and bombs planted in basements.

I was active in student organizing just a few years after 9/11, and dealing with these people was a nightmare. I couldn’t ever tell if they were just stupid, or if the government was paying them to show up to events they didn’t organize to scream this garbage. I’m sure it was a mixture of both. Many of them seemed to sincerely believe that if the majority of the “American” population came to accept the idea, they would just spontaneously overthrow the government. Now the 9/11 conspiracy, in one form or another, is the most widely believed conspiracy theory in the world, with the majority of the planet accepting some version of it, and guess what? Nothing changed because of it.
