The 11 Most Compelling 9/11 Conspiracy Theories

     I was fortunate to have found the time to write and post four 9/11 articles and one other article in the space of five days.  Chinese New Year is coming up in a couple of days, and I won't have time to write anything anytime soon.

     I would, however, like to share with y'all a superb site called The 11 Most Compelling 9/11 Conspiracy Theories.  It consists of eleven short video clips from sources ranging from moderately reliable to highly reliable.  

     Some of the information presented contradicts things I wrote in my series on boundary conditions for the 9/11 hijackers, but I'm not the least bit embarrassed about that.  I'm still looking for the truth, as many of y'all are, and I believe that humility and uncertainty are two of our most valuable allies in that search.  The truth is out there, but so are lies.

     The sixth video clip is somewhat mislabeled.  The heading suggests that it's mainly about the miraculously surviving passports of which you're already familiar.  Most of it, in fact, is about the conflict of interest between some of the congressmen on the 9/11 Commission and the business interests of the same congressmen.  I hadn't heard that one before.

     One of the videos was deleted "due to third party claims."  I'll try to replace that video with another.  Another video, related to the claim that the Israeli regime did 9/11, is really nothing but a lot of name calling with no presentation of evidence.  I'm replacing that wretched specimen with the video All the Proof in the World: Israel did 9/11.

The 11 Most Compelling 9/11 Conspiracy Theories

     When I return to my laptop, I intend to write other articles concerning boundary conditions such as, "What are Boeing 757's capable of doing and what are they incapable of doing?"  As before, I don't intend to limit my writing to 9/11-oriented articles.  I hope you read them.

     (For more 9/11-related articles in the American Action Report, see the links on the stand-alone page, September 11, 2001.)

     Here's the article, with my comments added:

     Many 9 11 conspiracy theories surfaced shortly after the September 11th attacks, some bringing compelling arguments, and some not holding up at all. Theorists believe that the World Trade Center buildings were demolished by bombs, phone calls from the planes were made up, and the former President George W. Bush secretly profited from the attacks.

     I have compiled a list of the 11 most compelling 9 11 conspiracy theories that exist:

1. Inside Traders Knew About Attacks Before They Happened

     Right before the September 11th attacks some fishy business happened within the stock market and insurance firms. An “extraordinary” amount of put options were placed on United Airlines and American Airlines stocks, the same airlines that were hijacked during the attacks. Many speculate that traders were tipped off about the attacks, and profited from the tragedy. The Securities and Exchange Commission launched an insider trading investigation in which Osama Bin Laden was a suspect after receiving information from at least one Wall Street Firm.

2. Air Defense Was Told To “Stand Down”

     In the event that a airplane were to be hijacked, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), is prepared to send out fighter jets which can debilitate or shoot down an airplane. On 9/11/01, NORAD generals said they learned of the hijackings in time to scramble fighter jets. Some skeptics believe NORAD commanded defense systems to “Stand-down”, because of their lack of presence during the attacks.

3. Planes Didn’t Make Twin Towers Collapse, Bombs Did

     The World Trade Center collapse appeared similar to a controlled demolition. Many speculate that the towers were in fact blown down with explosives placed in selected locations. Some witnesses accounted hearing explosions inside the building as they attempted to escape. Many architects and scientists even maintain that a planes fuel cannot produce enough heat to melt the steel frame of the two buildings that collapsed.

4. The Pentagon Attack Scientifically Doesn’t Hold Up

     The Pentagon crash may be the most puzzling event of the day. Theorists maintain that the impact holes in the pentagon were much smaller then a commercial American Airlines plane. They also question why the plane was not shot down prior to impact, as well as why the plane impacted into a section of the Pentagon that was vacant due to renovations.

5. Flight 93 Was Completely Staged

     The fourth hijacked plane, Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It is believed that the passengers fought back, and crashed the plane into a field. Skeptics believe that Flight 93 landed safely, while a substitute plane was shot out of the sky. Other theorists believe that the passengers were murdered or relocated, and will never be found.

6. Hijackers Are Alive. How Did Their Passports Survive Explosion?

     After the September 11th attacks, the “Loose Change” documentary stated that all of the hijackers were in fact alive in other countries. Rather presumptuous since it is possible for two different people to have identical names. But they did raise a good point; how did the passports of the terrorists survive the explosion? In the aftermath of the attacks, passports and identification were found as evidence. Many skeptics question how identification made out of paper survived an explosion, which destroyed buildings.

7. Cell Phone Calls Made From Plane Were Faked

     In-flight calls were made from cell phones in hi-jacked airplanes. Scientists and skeptics maintain that cell phones could not receive reception from the altitude the planes typically fly. Other skeptics questioned a phone call from a son to his mother, in which he referred to himself by his own first and last name.
     [American Action Report note: The reader should take into account three types of phones: air phones that may have been available to airline attendants, seat phones which some models of 757's made available to passengers, and cell phones.  In 2001, it was impossible to make a cell phone call from that altitude.  Flight 77, the plane that allegedly hit the Pentagon, did not have seat phones, though I don't know about the other planes. See the American Action Report article "What Happened to Flight 77's Passengers?"]

8. Jewish People [Correction by the American Action Report: Israeli apostates and their cronies in the United States] Knew Attack Was Going To Happen, Took Off Work On September 11th.

     Theorists noticed that 4,000 Jewish employees took off from work on September 11th 2001. Some of the first people to record the attacks on camera were Jewish [American Action Report correction: They were Israeli Mossad agents.] also. Many became suspicious of there actions, and put them on the radar as suspects in the wake of the attack.

     [American Action Report note: As a companion piece to this video, see the article Israel did 9/11: All the Proof in the World]

     [American Action Report note: The writer refers to Israeli agents recording the attacks on the World Trade Center.  I've posted a video concerning this fact.]

9. Black Boxes Found By Search Crew Kept Secret

During the ensuing weeks after the attacks, the Black boxes were one of the most important items to find. They were the only evidence into what happened inside the cockpits of the plane. 3 of 4 black boxes were found, and only one was in good enough condition to listen to. The tape was not initially released, but was shared with the families in 2002. Skeptics believe the tapes were not disclosed in order to support the secret scheme.

     [American Action Report note: This is the video that's no longer available.  I'll keep looking for a substitute.]

10. The Bin Laden Tapes Are Fake

     Initially, Osama Bid Laden denied any responsibility or involvement with the attacks. Soon afterwards, numerous tapes came out claiming that he took full responsibility on the attacks. Many skeptics believe that Bin Laden was targeted because of his stakes in the stocks as well as former President George W. Bush’s personal business ventures in the Middle East.

11. Aluminum Planes Can’t Penetrate Steel Structure Of World Trade Center

     Commercial airplanes’ frames are constructed with a very light aluminum material, in order to make it easier to fly. Theorists maintain that there is no possible way an airplane can do as much damage as it did to the Twin Towers as it did. Theorists believe that missiles or explosives were used to ensure the buildings collapsed.
