Most of the 9/11 conspiracy theories don't hold much water.  

However, the story of Building 7 is very odd indeed.  If anything is fishy, it has to do with Building 7.

The attacks of Sept. 11th, 2001 were orchestrated and planned by members of the US government, global elite leaders such as Bilderberg and the Tri-Lateral Commission, and the owner of the WTC site, Larry Silverstein.  If you need proof, it is always the case - follow the money.  Silverstein bought the WTC complex in 2001 for $100+ million, and he took out an insurance policy specifically for terrorist attacks in excess of $7 billion.  Follow the money.  All of the defense contractors that were losing profit in a time of peace, half of them being affiliated with Bilderberg.  Just look at them now, raking in the profits while we cannot afford our homes or gas.  The government - no President has had a higher approval rating or a lower approval rating.  Oh, and, follow the money.  Do you realize how much money our legislators receive from AIPAC - the Israel Lobby.  Hundreds of Millions.  9/11 was lobbied for by these groups to start a war in the middle east to protect Israel,  not the United States.  Israel.  The 19 hijackers - that is a conspiracy theory!

Yeah, how dare someone want to insure a major purchase/acquision/investment!  That is just so out of the ordinary and obviously so wrong that it has to be the answer!

I don't think much of the conspiracy theories hold water either. Saying that a plane didn't crash into the Pentagon is just bizarre. I know someone who's brother died on that plane. How do you explain this theory to him?

However, I completely subscribe to the idea that the Bush Administration knew an attack was eminent, and let it happen. There is some fairly good proof for that idea.

I think it is quite mysterious the way tower 7 collapsed precisely straight down at free fall speed, just as if it were a controlled demolition. I also think it is quite mysterious the way there seemed to be no airliner remains at the pentagon. I do not know what happened, the official report stonewalled these two issues, and I just want reasonable explanations.

I thought it was the Elders of Zion who were behind it all.

It's not out of the ordinary.  It is just suspicious, and it becomes more suspicious when it is covered up.  If they don't have anything to hide?  Why hide at all?  Senators and presidents refuse to take questions and become angry when prodded about the Bilderberg Group, Bohemian Grove, and the Tri-Lateral Commission.  Why?  What are they hiding?  What goes on in those meetings to create such stern secrecy?  Secrecy is rarely established around something good.  Study these groups, the CFR, and the North American Union.  Or keep your head in the sand and vote for Obama or McCain, and flush this sespool once and for all.  If everything collapses into its own footprint, it was not an accident.  The towers or the country.

Last I checked people were still believing in God.  If we can't get past that fairy tale after thousands of years of argument, I don't think we'll be able to put the imaginings of the 9/11 conspiracy theorists to rest in one afternoon here at Scanner.  Thanks for trying though.

jet fuel can't melt steel, guys. not the proper temperature. neither can burning corporate-hack blood. Also way too cold.

I definitely agree with The Dude, the most compelling theory is that the Bush administration knew something would happen if they relaxed security enough. I think it goes a little beyond that though. Why did they decide to put the terrorist response headquarters for NY in the WTC building the firmly established most likely target that had already had more than one terrorist plot aimed at it? Why were all the jets that could have intercepted the 3 planes on a an unscheduled "training mission" that put them out of reach.

It goes a little beyond incompetence. But not that far. It's easy to let disasters happen, if that's what you want and your the government.

Something nefarious is afoot.

Mark me down as "something is not right with the official story." I remember on the DAY watching Bldg 7 go down and thinking, "That's not right..." And the more I learn, the less well the pieces fit together.

I really was inclined to believe the "conspiracy theories" until I saw this:

Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt that there was at least complicity on the behalf of the Bush administration, but planned orchestration seems pretty implausible.

I am appalled by the nauseating conspiracy theories around the 9/11 events.  I know the instructions state that I am supposed to be funny if I disagree with the common thread of discussion.  But how the Hell can one be funny over such a serious tragedy and loss of life.  How in the devil could anyone think that government officials as well as respectable or in the least semi respectable citizens of this country or any country could fathom to kill thousands of innocent people with a 2 plus year mission of enlisting Muslim radicals to take pilot training and then commit suicide to accomplish their goals by crashing airplanes into the WTC buildings.  You claim that no airplane parts were found but how do you explain the photographs of the airplanes hitting the two towers.  I know it was unusual for the towers to collapse into themselves, but some of the best engineering minds in this country have concluded that was an expected method of failure under the stresses involved.  None of the conspiracy theory pundits were in the towers to experience the fear and suffering of the victims.  One of my best friends was one of the survivors that did escape and his accounts of the way it was completely refutes all the nay Sayers.  I strongly urge all those that propose conspiracy theories to move out of the country where I am sure you will be welcomed with open arms ready to enlist your services in a suicide mission.  Happy endings.

Lex Luthor did it while Superman was out in space.  It was filmed in the last movie but left on the cutting room floor.

Facts (and photos) speak for themselves.  They don't require belief.

and then try to continue to "believe" these buildings fell only because they were hit by planes.  And why all the cars strangely melted and burned in the area around the WTC?

Pay particular attention to this page http://drjudywood.com/articles/DEW/StarWarsBeam3.html

which shows structural steel turning to dust right before your eyes.  

This stuff isn't made up.  It's documented evidence of something way beyond what we're being asked to believe.

Anyone who cares enough to get involved in a discussion of this topic should also care enough to invest a few minutes at Dr Wood's site.

Skepticaltom? Heads of government and "respected" citizens plot to kill people All The Time. Of COURSE it was horrible. Of COURSE it was terrifying. That in no way confirms (or disproves) any theory. Neither does an attitude of "if you don't agree with every single thing the government says or does, why don't you GET OUT!" But for anyone who wonders how GWB got voted in for a second term...

Magnetometer data from alaska.edu shows the earth's magnetic field shifted with every 9/11 "event". This includes the plane-shaped holes appearing in the towers. The World Trade Center was destroyed with directed energy weapons. See this analysis by former Clemson University Professor of Mechanical Engineering Dr Judy Wood for info on the magnetometer data:
