<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>But anyone who's seen a Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum movie, or even watched enough Stargate, Star Trek or Alias, knows that a handful of bad guys can pull off big conspiracies, especially when they've got a high-level military or government person on board.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br>It should be pointed out that the examples cited are all fiction, not reality. Any real-world examples? <br><br>Furthermore, the claim that 3 persons could have rigged those towers for demolition over the course of a couple of days is absolutely ludicrous.<br><br>How many people needs to be involved is directly proportional with the complexity of the conspiracy. Enabling a terrorist attack to happen is something I suspect can be accomplished with only relatively few people fully in the know. Still, you need to have the right people in the right places in the relevant bureacratic organizations.<br><br>If you're going to fake an attack like 9/11, however, using controlled implosions and remote controlled planes, not to mention switching planes with special drones prepared for the event, the number of people who need to be in on that is much bigger. Not only does it require a <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>lot</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> of people actively participating in staging the event, and in planning and preparing it a long time in advance, but also an astounding number of complicits to cover it up and hide the real facts, to frame and perhaps mind-control innocent patsies, create fake evidence of their involvement, get them to confess, even to create a fake terrorist organization to blame it on according to some theories. <br><br>I'm not saying it's absolutely impossible to do something like that, but I disagree that only a few people need to be in the know and actively complicit. That's magical thinking.<br><br>I also think the Manhattan project is a very bad analogy. One, it was never meant to <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>remain</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> a secret. It was only kept a secret for the duration of the program. There was no need to create an entirely fictitious cover-story about how the atomic bomb came about, complete with fake evidence, innocent patsy scientists and so on. Does anyone think such a story would have withstood serious historical inquiry? <br><br>Two, that analogy ignores human psychological factors. The Manhattan project was about making a weapon to use against the enemy in time of war, at a time when there was an actual, real threat against the United States (sure, the Japanese would never have invaded the continental US, but at least it was perceived as a threat at the time and the country was engaged in a total war effort). Conspiring to kill thousands of Americans as a pretext to launch wars of agression overseas is a different matter, and something most Americans with the required special expertise probably would have reservations about. It's not something you can just ask a demolition company to participate in. You need a legion of people, comprising all the needed skills, who either share your views on the necessity of doing this, or who are indifferent to it but don't mind as long as they get paid well enough. And you have to rely on these people not having problems with what they've done after the fact, when they see the result.<br> <p></p><i></i>

I don't know what's so incredible about the idea that a carefully-designed conspiracy was behind 9/11.<br><br>Just as an intellectual exercise, imagine it like a well-planned chess game, with a variety of pieces on a board.<br><br>You'd only need a very small group of individuals who see the whole picture, ie "the Player". The others would be used in limited, compartmentalised roles, like pawns, or knights, etc.<br><br>The Player would be a group of extremely well-placed, powerful sociopaths, who say, can order special wargames and excercises to sow confusion, and who can stop or delay the military response to the airborne threat. They might include someone who is connected with the company that provides security to the WTC and maybe the airports where the hijacked flights originate. <br><br>There would definitely have to be someone very high up in the FBI and the CIA as well, to squelch investigations and get rid of evidence that could throw a wrench in the plans. Maybe get rid of an overly conscientious agent who sees him/herself as more than just a small cog, or maybe who's figured out too much.<br><br>As for the pawns, you'd have the bribable ones. There was a LOT of money made on 9/11, by those who were behind the 'put' options, by those whose financial shenanigans were hidden beneath the rubble of the WTC, by those mysterious individuals who sold the WTC steel quickly and efficiently far below market value to those who sold it for almost twice that much to countries halfway across the world. Not to mention Larry Silverstein's $7 billion insurance settlement. For that kind of money, you can get some people to do something they don't necessarily understand, no questions asked.<br><br>Later, those who aren't laughing all the way to the bank, are either too compromised, or too afraid to speak up.<br><br>Then, you have the blackmailable ones. The ones whose sexual ideal is in kindergarten, the ones who have been filmed doing god-know-what to whom. I wouldn't think it's too hard to get them to pretty much anything you want, after letting them know you have the tapes, the pictures, the videos, whatever.<br><br>Then there are those you've got to get rid of, before they realize what they've been a part of. There were quite a lot of people from the military-industrial complex on those planes, including military contractors developing all sorts of nifty gadgets and devices...poof! What with terrorism, anthrax, small plane crashes, the DC sniper, heart attacks, suicides, hey, it's a dangerous world...<br><br>There are the military air defence exercises on the day, that created confusion and circumvented the standard operating procedures that normally would have stopped the attacks well before they occurred.<br><br>Finally, for the actual planting of the explosives, although I'm sure the US has plenty of criminals and sociopaths, it might be hard to recruit a sufficient number of them who are properly qualified and can be guaranteed to keep their mouths shut.<br><br>I would probably want to import those from abroad. I'd need some trained, disciplined explosives experts, preferably with a military background, who can be shipped in, given an innocuous cover like, say, a moving company (good because you can transport all sorts of stuff in and out of buildings and nobody will find that odd).<br><br>Unlike Americans, they would have no problem seeing how they are fulfilling their patriotic duty by planting explosives that will kill Americans.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>After the attacks on New York and Washington, the former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was asked what the terrorist strikes would mean for US-Israeli relations. He said: “It’s very good.” Then he corrected himself, adding: “Well, it’s not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy [for Israel from Americans].”<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.sundayherald.com/37707">www.sundayherald.com/37707</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>You know what else the Mossad agents would be great for? Handling the Arab patsies: the Mossad has a lot of experience in pretending to be Arab terrorists, and recruiting vulnerable young men in Israeli prisons and detention centers. The agents can easily pass as Arabs, speaking in flawless Arabic and looking "Middle Eastern". Rarely do the Arab patsies guess that their new best friend, flashing wads of cash, taking them out for a good time, or alternatively, exhorting them to a martyr's death, are really Israeli agents.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>In the car was $4700 in cash, a couple of foreign passports and a pair of box cutters – the concealed Stanley Knife-type blades used by the 19 hijackers who’d flown jetliners into the World Trade Centre and Pentagon just hours before. There were also fresh pictures of the men standing with the smouldering wreckage of the Twin Towers in the background. One image showed a hand flicking a lighter in front of the devastated buildings, like a fan at a pop concert. The driver of the van then told the arresting officers: “We are Israeli.

Staging something like operation of 9-11 wouldn't take very many people. Covering it up would take a few more, but remember most people involved in the coverup will have no idea about the actual operation. <br><br>Look at how scared everyone is to censure Bush in Congress. Look at how whorish the media is about everything else. Nobody will go near 9-11 in power. I'm surprised we've had as many people come out as have come out. <br><br>In my view, the whole operation was rather clumsy actually. The only part that really surprises me about it all was how poorly it was executed. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=newkid@rigorousintuition>NewKid</A> at: 4/6/06 12:39 pm<br></i>

Here is the quote that someone up thread alluded to:<br><br>Daniel Ellsberg, "Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers":<br><br>It is a commonplace that "you can't keep secrets in Washington" or "in a democracy," that "no matter how sensitive the secret, you're likely to read it the next day in the New York Times." These truisms are flatly false. They are in fact cover stories, ways of flattering and misleading journalists and their readers, part of the process of keeping secrets well. Of course eventually many secrets do get out that wouldn't in a fully totalitarian society. Bureaucratic rivalries, especially over budget shares, lead to leaks. Moreover, to a certain extent the ability to keep a secret for a given amount of time diminishes with the number of people who know it. As secret keepers like to say, "Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead." But the fact is that the overwhelming majority of secrets do not leak to the American public. This is true even when the information withheld is well known to an enemy and when it is clearly essential to the functioning of the congressional war power and to any democratic control of foreign policy. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>The reality unknown to the public and to most members of Congress and the press is that secrets that would be of the greatest import to many of them can be kept from them reliably for decades by the executive branch, <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>even though they are known to thousands of insiders</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->"<br><br>paperback edition, page 43<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
