�Whereas it is widely recognized that the US-led war in Afghanistan
is illegal under international law, because it was never authorized by
the UN Security Council, most Americans have believed that it was
morally justified as a response to the 9/11 attacks, and many believe it
is still justified as a necessary means to prevent another attack
originating from that region.
My lecture will present evidence showing that both of these beliefs
are untrue, so that the 9/11 Truth Movement and more traditional Peace
and Anti-War groups should be able to combine forces to oppose this
illegal and immoral war.� � David Ray Griffin

I suppose one conspiracy theory is as good as another, however I'm not prepared to believe that my government would attack its own country, kill its own citizens and attack another sovereign country all for an oil pipeline. I do however believe evidence showing the guilt of those responsible for the 9/11 attacks is highly classified, and likely for excellent reasons.

This is just recycled 9-11 twoofer'isms. But I guess there are always those who will find youtube cartoons that placate their need to believe conspiracy theories.

Oh please...
haven't you juiced that 'conspiracy theorist' mantra enough for years,
it has become pretty ragged tagged of a term. Isn't it time to drop the
egoistic and prideful act and stop persisting to live in denial of truth
that 'your government is a traitor' for the rest of your life. Why so
scared to admit the truth?.... well I do understand that 9/11 is very
crucially important excuse not just to suck the middle east dry of the
oil and keep the CIA drug business running but to also to achieve the
Imperialism - absolute power and Invisibility in the world syndrome,
something America's history is full of- nothing surprising there.....
No doubt any sane person
would consider the fact pretty significant that over 15000 scientists
across the world including 8 Nobel prize winners are claiming that the
official 9/11 story of US is nothing but pack of lies to support it's
disgusting political agenda and there is 'nothing scientific about the
official story' regarding collapse of 3 buildings in 9/11.
US government has
been running around with tail
between it's legs to avoid serious and real investigation that will not
only put an end to its tyranny in America but also will be made to
pay for war crimes committed using 9/11 as an excuse to commit massacres
in the middle - east.
I guess one preposterous excuse to hide
from truth and neglect the facts is as good as another. You can happily
live in denial believing the only possible true story is the official
story which is like full of as many holes there are pages in 9/11
commission, with no evidence to prove that it wasn't a inside job and
supporting the guilty demeanour. War supporting Americans must be
inheriting the 'dismissal of facts habit' from their belligerent,
pugnacious and war mongering maniac government to protect themselves
from retribution the world ( US afflicted them with chaos using this
pearl harbour to commit monstrosities across world) will ask to pay up
if they ever admitted the truth. It all makes sense... I
can sympathise with you wanting to believe that your government isn't
the real terrorist that endangers the world's peace.
Yes folks
there are plenty of egoistic and shameless people who still want to
believe that 9/11 was not an inside job but the US government can run as
much as it likes to run and evade but never will be able to hide the truth
there will be time when it will be brought to justice like Nazi Hitler
was.....

why not? The government has enslaved its own citizens, used some for medical experiments and attacked a country that had nothing, nothing to do with 9-11--- Iraq.. why not? 27 million people in the world are enslaved and dehumanized all over the globe. They are throw-away people. Why is our government any different then other people? Do you personally know them?
I remember reading a book on this author who went to find the murderers in the Killing Fields of Cambodia. This was a really bad guy who murdered hundreds if not thousands of his own people- he ran this prison in Phnom Penh. And the author finally met him.. and he was a "good" "born again" Christian. But he was one in the same. Evil exists all over..

Well Sister, if conspiracy is trite, I�ll use speculation. Mr. Griffin speculates that his country has done awful things to accommodate a Caspian Sea pipeline through Afghanistan, and I simply don�t agree. What is clear to me, and I would also venture to say, clear also to those on the 9/11 Commission, is that we don�t have complete transparency on the dreadful events of September 11, 2001. The United States as well as other countries has not been completely open and forthcoming. Why? The �why� is open for speculation from Griffin and a whole host of other theorist; present company included. Now, I know Dick Cheney has an ominous grin, but I refuse to believe him capable of what Mr. Griffin suggests. I am not particularly troubled by lack of complete and open transparency because all states and countries have secrets � and legitimate needs for undisclosed information, as do families and individuals. Who killed JFK, and how Princess Diana met her fate, all open to speculation and 9/11 as well.

Sr. Hayfa, you ask, �why not?�; well, Griffin�s hypothesis is extreme in my opinion. Slavery wasn�t invented by the United States and was pretty common in all cultures. We are Muslims and do not defend evil or wrong, but I really don�t view a political decision by the American government to fight the spread of communism as an indicator of evil, or as morally equivalent to Nazism. My heart goes out to the helpless and oppressed people of the world � throw-away people, but certainly you don�t suggest this is all the United States� fault or responsibility.

I love conspiracy theories. I think many of us are fascinated by them.
But regarding 9/11 then until there is sufficient convincing evidence it will remain a conspiracy theory. Many of the theories re: 9/11 are plausible but valid proof is needed.
Many people in the UK still maintain Princess Diana was murdered by the ROyal Family. But I am certain it was just a tragic accident.
And the JFK assassination still fascinates me.
Benazir Bhutto's assassination is also one I am interested in.
Here is a list of conspiracies that ARE true, if anyone is interested.

No I do not think the US govt is responsiblefor the 27 million CURRENTLY enslaved.. but what I AM saying is that it is easy to be USED and thrown away. So why would the recent US govt be any different towards a few citizens? That is what I am saying when you said you could not believe any govt official would think to do the Towers..
that is all
Nice list Martha.. and yet it shows that governments / people, WILL do things to its "own' people.
Diana: you know I've always 'liked' Princess Diana. What is your impression?

Didn't the war in Afghanistan started before 9/11? if so then the war is not justified by 9/11. And even then Afghanistan was under didn't circumstances.

Brother
then you can speculate all you want and as long as you want to your
hearts content while ignoring the facts that America is the far and none
most biggest oil user in the world and it would have run out of oil by
now if it didn't attack the middle - east to secure the world's last 60%
of oil reserves that happen to be in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon Oman and Yemen -
yup its no secret they are all on America's 'hit list' which Bush
disclosed himself and Obama executing it right infront of every ones
eyes.
America's records
shows that the oil companies started to flourish enormously since it
started the war on middle-east. On the other hand Opium cultivation in
Afghanistan which was cut down 90% by hateful Taliban who interfered
with CIA's drug dealing business( started in
1950's) massively, long
behold again as soon as the war in Afghanistan was started Opium
cultivation is almost back to 100%. Now you can believe all you like
that this has not happened but history tells us that it did.
Secondly, 9/11 Official theory or story has completely
failed to prove itself true - it failed to establish scientific facts
even after 10 years of speculating and distorting the laws of physics to
fit it to their desired explanation. NIST having completely
and miserably failing to explain their concocted up theories they
resorted to ridiculous speculation that '9/11
was a miracle' - do you fancy believing in miracles. Now, the science don't
understand miracles it understands every thing in terms of laws
of physics, chemistry etc. Also, believing 9/11 is actually a miracle is
not part of any religion on this earth.
In this case, a government committing a crime against its
own country called treason, open investigation is perfectly
legal. It is governments duty to be honest to its citizens. Since your
government broke every rule in the book of democracy (including turning a
blind eye to the financial crisis its citizens are facing while the
elites are getting super Rich) we can't expect any loyalty from them to
the citizens. So, the American government is not democratic government
any more it is a dictator where any thing perfectly legal and right
which goes against it does not matter. You can call your government 'untouchables' a
family of criminals who are usually above law and Justice and don't like
people snooping around in their closets because if they open the door
few old rotten bodies might fall out. And of course this corrupt family
certainty does not want any one to get hold of their 'black dairy' and
end up disclosing their vile and despicable secrets. Its logical why
would they allow an open enquiry/investigation? it will be like
committing suicide and rich criminals do love to live.
Being invisible like
this does not mean that people won't fight back to bring this government
to justice there will always be struggle to make the truth prevail
whether you and your government simply don't like it or simply don't
want to believe it....
Therefore, any one who wants to believe
in the ridiculous official stories..... now officially called 'a
miracle' can do as much as they want while Griffin and his supporters
which includes scientists, engineers, medical experts, chemical experts,
lawyers, survivors of 9/11 giving testimonies, firefighters and architects make
Official phony baloney to hit rock bottom.
Sorry, sis Martha I
don't like theories especially the Official ones as they are usually
full of too many holes to be believable although very amusing and I do
love facts though :).

Salams Hayfa,
Yeah, I liked Diana too. SHe had it tough. She loved her Prince and he did the dirty on her right from the start.
She didn;t fit into Royal life. SHe was quite an ordinary person really, didn't like hunting for a start(rightly so..utterly sickening form of sport) So I am sure many of us can understand what she went through.
Camilla fits in nicely with CHarles though. They are one of the same. He is fairly popular these days, as for Crocodile Camilla, she isn't really liked that much.

I agree with sister Hayfa,
I liked Diana a lot too, she was the most prettiest British royalty in
my opinion, not to mention the most admired and loved one in many parts of
the world.

I once read that Diana was the most photographed person in the world, and I wonder, if true, how much that affects ones affinity for her. With respect to her death, I agree with Sister Martha; a tragic accident.

Excellent reasons... for genocide and propping up puppets while China is breathing on US's neck! It is classified cuz they screwed up by knocking Building 7 down without an airplane...the question still remains who are they? After hearing the reports of shoe, the undies and Time square bomber performance how one can really believe whatever is classified; about bunch of Saudis and other mid-easterners who be able to pull off such a sophisticated and so well coordinated plan... Enough of this jive...

You need to watch Glenn Beck these days if you can find him in UK! A few days back he mentioned that Obama administration would like to make them illegal
This program would target those advocating false, quote, conspiracy
theories which they define to mean an attempt to explain an event or
practice by reference to the machinations of powerful people who have
managed to conceal their role. Sunstein's 2008 paper was flagged, blah,
blah blah, blah blah.
So he says there are five steps: One, ban all conspiracy theories, even
those that turn out to be correct. Ban them. Two, tax conspiracy
theories. I would be a conspiracy theorist according to Cass Sunstein.
I'm also � this is his language � also anti government. If you disagree
with the policies of this administration, that doesn't mean you disagree
with the president or his policies. Cass Sunstein wants it to be known
that you are anti government. Watch the coverage on television. Fox does
not call the tea party members anti government. Every other network
does. Anti government tea parties. Where did that come from? Cass
Sunstein.
Third proposal: Government engage in counterspeech.
Four: Government hires neutral people, quote/unquote, for
counterspeech.
Five: Government might engage in informal communication with conspiracy
theorists. The main policy recommendation, cognitive infiltration of
conspiracy theories. http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/40456/ - http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/40456/

What nonsense. Do you just make up this nonsense as you go along and hope no one will challenge these specious claims? The fact is, the U.S. didn�t �attack� the Middle East. The fact is, the U.S. was never in any danger of �running out of oil�.
�Yup�, it�s clear you have no idea what you�re talking about.

Another of your usual nonsense claims. Identify for us what records show �oil companies started to flourish enormously since it started the war on middle-east.� Be specific and provide relevant examples.

Another of your usual nonsense claims. The results of the 9-11 Commission reports provide credible answers to the events surrounding Islamic terrorism that resulted in the attacks on the U.S. It�s unfortunate that willful ignorance and a need to believe in conspiracy theories grips the limited imaginations of those who see conspiracies that facts have clearly refuted.
In this case, a government committing a crime against its own country called treason, open investigation is perfectly legal. It is governments duty to be honest to its citizens. Since your government broke every rule in the book of democracy (including turning a blind eye to the financial crisis its citizens are facing while the elites are getting super Rich) we can't expect any loyalty from them to the citizens.

Its logical why would they allow an open enquiry/investigation? it will be like committing suicide and rich criminals do love to live. |
More of the tripe that defines self-hating islamists. You see conspiracies because you are incapable of seeing anything that doesn�t conform to your limited worldview.
Being invisible like this does not mean that people won't fight back to bring this government to justice there will always be struggle to make the truth prevail whether you and your government simply don't like it or simply don't want to believe it....

I thought as much. Retreating in the face of being required to support your specious claims will save you a bit of embarassment. The surest way to counter fraudulent claims such as yours is to require the conspiracy theorist to substantiate their claims... which you could not, obviously.

What facts would you like? So far, you have offered nothing worth refuting, just the usual, unfounded claims that the "official" citing of facts is wrong.
You offered nothing specific, only baseless claims that further your need to believe conspiracy theories. It really is laughable that you demand links or facts from me when you have totally failed to support your earlier claims that you now hope to retreat from as baseless.
It's not surprising at all that you are left with only embarassment as your claims are undefendable. You have only yourself to blame.

Although ever since on this forum, you never bothered
providing any facts, links or book material - please don't be
embarrassed to tell me that you receive information from the heavens
above - not to mention you are a 9/11 miracle believer and i might never
see any credible sources of info from you ever....
However as a
kind gesture, I might consider giving you facts, book extracts and news
links, but only if you say 'pretty please'......And give me your word
that you will start having logical conversations rather then keep
repeating like a parrot the juicy mantra that every source of
information whether be world-wide books, news websites or news channels
are all theorists (Especially the ones who want this Disgusting war to
be stopped at once) and correct your belief that this blood thirsty and
war mongering mainstream media news is the only news in the world worth
believing in.
Also if you think this is a conspiracy theory
website and the people on this website are theorists so why not go to
your official theories website rather than hanging around here, doesn't
it make you the one who loves conspiracy theories then? so much so to
even become member of this website and engage with the conspiracy theory
website members endlessly and ever so often? Are you sure you are not a
conpiracy theorist yourself with nothing to offer but theories?.....
Now,
I think I am giving you a fair chance to prove that you are capable of
logical conversations. I won't engage in giving you any facts from my
side until you fulfil the above conditions I have put, because I don't
want to end up hitting my head against the brick wall - there is simply
