I think it's universally accepted that they are a mine of info for the security services, but I'm not sure anyone really thinks they were set up by them.
There's no way the NSA, etc would ignore that much info on people and their contacts where it was helpful.

a good article on the subject
FB is an awful thing.
New stuff still being published, including this $20 book
America Nuked on 9/11
If you want to know the WHO, the HOW and the WHY of 9/11, this book provides the answers. In 28 extensive, thorough and detailed studies, 14 authors contribute their expertise on different aspects of 9/11 to resolve the issues decisively. 9/11 was brought to us compliments of the CIA, the neocons in the Department of Defense and the Mossad in order to justify the transformation of U.S. foreign policy from one in which we never attacked any nation that had not attacked us first to one in which we became the greatest aggressor nation in the world, launching a series of invasions intended to take out seven governments over the next five years, as Wesley Clark, former Commanding General of NATO, has explained. It hasn’t played out that way, but not for lack of trying.

Looking at some of the comments on there, I think the answer to the question in this thread title is a resounding yes, some people do actually believe this st. These people can vote. It's terrifying.I blame the internet.
People seem unable to read things critically. Traditionally we've got our information from newspapers or TV which are regulated and have a duty of care for presenting a truthful representation.
That layer of accountability doesn't exist on the internet. Anyone can write any old s
t, dress it up as if it's proper journalism or science and a good chunk of the public cannot make the distinction.It's creeping into all sorts of things now. I overheard some work colleagues saying toothpaste has a colouring system that identifies whether it is based on "natural" or "chemical" ingredients. Clearly b
ks and it was easy to set them straight, but they'd read it and believed it.This rejection of experience, qualifications and expertise is a real worry but seems to be a growing phenomenon. With the internet it's easy to find something that confirms your preconceived bias, and that gives you confidence in it. If you limit your reading to only those views that agree with you, as people tend to do, you can hold that view to increasing extremes.
While it's easy to laugh at 9/11 truthers, they are an example of a problem that carries over to things like the rejection of vaccinations, and the promotion of terrorism.

This sounds alarmist, but the lack of critical thinking in the world today is the biggest threat to humanity we face. Because from that springs conspiracy loons, Islamic State and other religious nutters, and all manner of bks. People believing st that isn't true will be the death of us. durbster said:

Newspapers and TV aren't as regulated as all that, which is a good thing but does allow a lot of uncritical claptrap to seep through. Remember the MMR fiasco, Dr Gillian Mckeith (or to give her full correct medical and academic title, Gillian McKeith) and Uri Geller.t. These people can vote. It's terrifying.I blame the internet.

In fact Uri Geller was famous long before the internet became a form of mass media, as was Von Daniken, Velikovsky, and some nutter who hooked plants up to lie detectors.
