The official conspiracy theory is bunkum

On Sept. 11, 2001, suicide hijackers crashed two airliners into the World Trade Center in New York, causing the 110-story twin towers to collapse. Another hijacked airliner hit the Pentagon and a fourth crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

That's the official conspiracy theory ... 19 Arab hijackers conspired to attack us.

But it would have required hundreds of people to pull off an operation like that.

Only people with security clearance could plant the necessary explosives in the towers.

Only people in charge of air defence could prevent timely interception of the hijacked airliners.

Only people in charge of the investigation could order the immediate removal and destruction of all the evidence from ground zero.

Only people with official authority could forestall an official inquiry.

Only people with controlling influence over the media could ensure that the official conspiracy theory would be the only version of events allowed for public consumption.

In effect, only people within the establishment had the ability to successfully conduct the 9/11 operation.

IMPORTANT: this does not imply that all of government was involved.

Only a handful of people needed to be fully aware of all operational details, and even they would have been ignorent about certain aspects of the operation ... with information shared on a need-to-know basis only, essential for plausible deniability of the actual sponsors.

But of this much we can be sure... senior military, intelligence, law enforcement and administration officials were clearly involved in facilitating the operation.
