I'll admit it. The first thing that went through my head when I saw those planes hit the towers back in 2001 was, "Shit. Nobody saw that one coming." I was fed all of that Osama Bin Laden and terrorist propaganda when it first happened, just like everybody else on the globe. I was shocked to be honest, I think everyone was. To see two massive skyscrapers come tumbling town, filling up the streets of New York with an endless cloud of dust, looming around innocent civillians trying to escape the blanket of grief and despair.
Then the cogs in my noggin started to turn. Certain things weren't adding up at all. Some of the puzzle pieces of this "terrorist attack" just weren't fitting together. I'm not saying that I jumped up to the idea of none of this making sense by myself, not at all. I think I was just made aware by people who were onto it from the start. People from a whole variety of professions were putting their hands up, pointing out facts and events which did not flow with the original story which the globe was force fed moments after the attack.
As I started to look into this I found alot more than I thought I would. Most of these theories were just conspiracies, such as people suggesting that they were not planes which hit the towers, but missiles. Conspiracy theorists were going through footage with a fine-toothed comb looking for any possible evidence that the US government was lying to the world. Most of the results they came up with were explainable, but some were just plain weird and out of place.
Have these “conspiracy theorists” changed anything at all over the past eight years? I’ll let this article do the talking. This doesn’t only describe the public’s attitude towards the September 11 attacks, but the manipulation of the media itself. Are they trying to cover something up? This isn’t the first time the mainstream media have twisted the truth. Fox News is a prime example of this, and has just recently received massive waves of criticism towards its bias manipulation of the “real” news.
I'll leave this blog some air to breathe for now, but I'll be back with alot more on this issue, covering things such as professional opinions on the collapse of the towers, events which took place soon before and after the initial attacks, and some of the health issues which the rescue team sent out on that fateful day are facing.
