9/11 Government Conspiracy Film
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848
There is a film circulating the internet claiming that the government was responsible for the attacks on 9/11. The video claims that bombs were placed in the Twin Towers days before the attacks and set off to knock the buildings down demolition style because simply the jets crashing into the buildings would not be enough to bring them down. How valid is this video? Is it propaganda for the extreme left?
From watching the video, I believe it is possible and almost probable that the government - and I say government instead of the Bush Administration because I associate "Bush Administration" with "incompetence" and a conspiracy such as this leaves no room for incompetence - did plan 9/11.
However, buying into this theory - that many are buying into because of an hour and twenty minute film -would be buying into propaganda. I'm trying to look at the bigger picture instead of thinking in circles about conspiracy theories - however valid a case they may make.
The capitalist society that is the United States is a system that keeps the ruling class in charge and the worker bees working. It is the society that Americans know and are comfortable in. If the government planned out and executed 9/11 in order to go to war or create a "New World Order," what can the general public do about it? Protest? Hundreds of thousands of Americans protested invading Iraq before the war started and all that was accomplished was 45 seconds of coverage on nightly network news programs. If those in power want to do something, they are able to do it despite public opinion by manipulating the case as in the Spanish-American War and Vietnam and the First Gulf War.
I don't know if the government planned 9/11. Nobody knows if the government planned 9/11. Journalists can do all the investigation possible, but there will never be a clear answer until it doesn't matter anymore. To be honest, how much does it matter now? Would it get the U.S. out of Iraq? Would it stop Iran from making nuclear weapons? Would it end our society's dependence on oil from the Middle-East? I believe the answer to all questions would be "no."
Everything in the video may be true, but expert propagandists work with truths. Conservative think tanks would be more than able to refute every point made in the video - and have already begun doing so - and any argument made against the government would be muddled into credibility issues and smoking guns.
I'm not saying that there is nothing the general public can do to change things, but the system in place would require drastic sociological change. For example, if Americans really don't want to be in the Middle East, Americans need to stop using oil. It's possible, but very difficult and life-altering.
A teenager may view the film and get angry and start spreading the message that the film delivers. However, that teenager will get a job and will need gas for his or her car to get to work. That teenager will go to college and have to worry about paying for it. That teenager will meet a girl or boy and fall in love and get married. That teenager will have children. If the government planned out 9/11, that teenager will still grow up to be a worker bee keeping the system together.
