So, clearly PH is populated by only razor sharp in-the-know finger-on-the-pulse no nonsense powerfully built company directors, operating at the sharp end of engineering and expertise. And we don't suffer fools.

And conspiracy theories are typically entertained by fools...

So I'm curious; who's heard a story that's made even the hardest, most logical, Spock like Company Director think... 'Holy st?!'

Princess Diana didn't really die, she was struggling to maintain her human-form and simply took on the slightly melted Duchess of Cornwall look we see today.

You'll end up stuffed alive inside of a sports bag and dumped in a bath with talk like that.

People have questioned in previous conspiracy theories whether jet fuel burns hot enough to have melted the structure of the world trade centre. But what about the tanks full of mind control agents used to make chemtrails - who knows what temperature that stuff burns at?

Cardiff shot Dando?

My god, it all makes sense now. The illuminati must have organised it to take the spotlight away from the Knights Templar, who had nearly come unstuck when Michael Moore realised that they weren't adding fluoride to water to make it safer - but instead to promote nicer tasting bottles of Evian in return for a book deal.

Aliens landed in New Jersey in 1938 but the authorities managed to convince everyone that the news reports were actually a radio play.

there was footage later released showing that it had fires on the lower floors.

also an explanation as to when the two towers came down the fountain structure was weakened resulting in the collapse of this building.

All really interesting stuff

I've seen the fires and read into it, it does seem odd that the building would implode in free fall as opposed to collapsing at the side where the fires are. I'm not saying it was a conspiracy, but out of every one that I've looked into this seems the most dubious.

For the conspiracists amongst you:

So, there are 2 possible extremes here -

1. The american government hijacked 2 planes full of people, and flew them in to 2 towers, which they had rigged to explode / collapse. Worried that this would be enough of a crowd pleaser to justify a long and ultimately fruitless war in iraq to add to the pointlessness of Afghanistan, Bush ordered an additional building to have a controlled demolition, then had warplanes shoot down another jet for sts and giggles.

2. A very well orginised group of terrorists orginised one of the biggest atrocities against civilians the West has seen since world war II.

Are you really thinking 1 is more likely? Really?
If it was the case, how in gods name do you keep an operation of that magnitude under wraps? The yanks can't control most of their documents (see Asange, that other bloke who lives in an embassy somewhere etc) - yet the only "leaks" are from proper nut ars on youtube and 4chan.

But then what would I know? I'm clearly just another one of Their puppets...

I guess you're talking to me so I'll answer. I think 2 is by far the most likely to be true. I hope that clears things up.

Lurk? I have nearly 6000 posts - i'd be the sttest knoll lurker ever.
Also, whoever shot managed to mortally wound with what, 4 shots? In 5,800 odd posts, i think maybe 3 i have written have been epgenuinely worth reading - if i was the gunman, i think i'd still be there, firing wildly like an extra in an Arnie film...

Re 9/11. Clearly nineteen people did conspire to destroy the twin towers with hijacked airplanes. Why is it so implausible that a couple of extra people were involved without emailing each other cc: everyone in government by mistake?

Top lurker I know! But re 911; if you have a bit of spare time then this is a pretty interesting watch:

particularly the collapse of WTC7 being reported before it actually happened...

JFK is the only conspiracy (and by that I mean more than one shooter) that I believe is true and has enough credible evidence to back it up.
But then even the US House Select Committee agrees, so I am not sure it should be classed as a conspiracy theory anymore.

Not a difficult one really. Chinese whispers until it gets reported on the news. Someone could say "It looks like it is going to collapse" which can soon turn into "It has collapsed".

I don't think that the early news report adds much weight to the conspiracy theory.

The 911 is a conspiracy theory? How did that work? Years of making them blend into the world as normal and then load them with explosives to drive into the bottom of the twin towers while airliners drew attention away? I see, it all makes sense now. silly

Just think about it FFS.

Option 1 - Government has coordinated news report but misstimed it. Pre arranged "building 7 has collapsed" message goes on air a bit early because the bloke giving the "action" cue down the news station shot his bolt early. All of the (known minor celeb) news team are in on the conspiracy, other than Brian the tea man - who was off sick that day.

Option 2 - 2 towers have collapsed. A building is on fire, with bits falling off it. Ground zero is a melee. Someone puts 2+2 together and decides that collapse is inevitable, and decides to report a bit early in order to say "you heard it here first".

By all means, suspect your government. Expect them to be corrupt fkers that are inept. Expect them to put popularity over common sense. Just don't expect them to be capable of mass orchestrated murder without it being reported - the inept bds can't even run a train tender properly.
