The American Truth

Outlandish – that’s a word I hear often whendescribing the 9/11 Conspiracy Theories. But why is agreeing with some of these theories outlandish ? Why do so many have a negative connation with the words “Conspiracy Theory?”

Are the people that call the conspiracy theories "outlandish," saying that it is about thinking independently and questioning the information that is being presented to us? And certainly it’s not a stretch to suspect government members have initiated corrupt actions and policies. Throughout history, governments in every society have been riddled with corrupt individuals. It’s just human nature for individuals to want more of what they have. Employees demand higher wages and better conditions in the workplace; students demand more freedom in their studies and less of a burden in the form of homework, professional athletes constantly want better contracts with higher signing bonuses. Why is it wrong to suspect that politicians want more power? After all, power is one of the most addictive things in life; or as Henry Kissinger once said, “Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.” (I’ll refrain from adding any negative comments about Kissinger’s political career). And don’t forget, politicians and other high-ranking government employees tend to be the determined and aggressive type that will go to any means to achieve their objectives.

Believing individuals within the U.S. government knew about the attacks could be outlandish if this was a personal conviction that was shared by no one else. But millions around the world question the events surrounding 9/11. Recognized scholars, scientists, and experts have challenged the official story, despite the risk of losing their job and receiving ridicule from peers. Thousands (maybe millions) outside the U.S. have committed hours out of their own time to estigate the issue and to spread the 9/11 Truth issue. And Americans from all walks of life have committed to the 9/11 Truth Movement not for any personal benefit, but for the shear reason of wanting to know the truth.

Certain individuals may describe 9/11 Truth as a bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists, but since when did the idea of wanting to know the truth in order to trust the government become outlandish?
