I had a 9/11 conspiracy research "kick" a few months back ... mainly because I was surfing Youtube and I continued to stumble on documentaries on the subject. So I decided to give them all a try.
An interesting documentary I came across was called "Zeitgeist." This had three parts to it ... the first being about Religion, the second about 9/11 and the third about the international Bankers and their power. New World Oder stuff. It was an interesting documentary that offered quite a lot of good questions and information. I would recommend that you watch this (but remember not to take it as pure facts but rather just insight from a certain point of view).
<NOTE! Whenever I watch any documentary, or listen to any political, social or religious speech, I take everything in while remembering that there is an agenda behind the information ... as such, I don't take any information as pure fact but rather bits of information that can be processed as little parts of a HUGE puzzle.>
I watched a few other documentaries like "Loose Change" and other similar videos. They all offered some really good points and some extremely FLAGRANT contradictions but over all it was an interesting experience.
Some of the points that were mentioned in a lot of these:
1.) The passport of one of the terrorists that flew the aircraft into one of the twin towers was found in the rubble of the building. This is rather odd (and amazing). Not much survived all that but the passport did? Is it possible? ... yes, it is ... but rather unlikely.
2.) The government planned this for proper reason to go to war. This one I have a real problem with. Imagine the size of such a conspiracy and how many people would have to be involved. That is A LOT of people to be involved which makes the chances of discovering such a conspiracy that more likely. Not only that, but who in their right minds would plan and execute such a conspiracy? The results from discovering such a conspiracy would mean certain death for ALL involved!
3.) The difficult nature of flying a jet into the side of the Pentagon. Now, having studied aviation to become a pilot, I can see the validity of this, however, it is certainly not impossible. The fact that there are SO many cameras that are focused on that side of the building and that they only released a couple of what was taped (neither of them CLEARLY showing a plane striking the building) is rather frustrating. Since there are still eye witness statements from civilians witnessing the plane strike the building, I still would have to believe that it was plane.
4.) The collapse of the towers. This is probably one of the most speculated and argued evet of the whole 9/11 conspiracy. Many argue that demolitions were used on the buildings to cause the collapse of them and that they fell in "free fall" speeds (as if to fall without even the building's structure below slowing the collapse.) Also, they argue that burning jet fuel wouldn't be enough to cause such structural failure to the steel beams in the towers. There is also a petition of some 5,000 architects & engineers in the world that say that it all doesn't add up. Now this is pretty amazing to me. 5000?!?!? Now that suggests that there is enough information to cause these 5000 some people to wonder what the hell is going on, or that there isn't ENOUGH information for these 5000 people. There is also an animation available that shows the aircraft going into the building, spilling all the fuel within its tanks and breaking the steel beams that was released by (some organization, I can't remember who exactly) that really did a good job.
I don't know about this one ... there is so much information on both sides that make a lot of sense. One thing I don't get though, is why fly a jet into the side of a building .... and then use demolition on it? Why not skip the whole flying a jet into it and just go straight for demolition? OR Skip the demolition and just flying a jet into the side of the buildings, even if they don't fall, there still would have been a HUGE outcry against those responsible.
5.) The military exercises. There were actual military exercises that were happening on 9/11 which caused a lot of chaos and confusion that day. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_government_operations_and_exercises_on_September_11,_2001) Conspiracy theorists would say that these were to keep everyone off track so that the "REAL PLANS" were able to go smoothly. Now, either this is one HELL of a coincidence or perhaps known by the perpetrators before hand (whether it be Al Qaeda or, of course, the government.) How public was the knowledge of these training exercises? Well, Global Guardian is an annual exercise ... so I could see that being known by more than usual. Vigilant Guarding is a semi-annual exercise ... again, not really sure about how many people would know about these exercises ... I wish someone would touch on that.
Anyway ... it was interesting to learn about all of this and again, I don't take any of it as PURE FACT but it did offer some good information. Overall, I still don't see it very likely that any person or group within the U.S. government orchestrated the events that occurred on 9/11. Is it possible that there was some inside informant or spy of some kind that was operating along with the terrorist organization within some branch of Government or the likes? Yes, it is possible.
As a funny side note, during the time that 9/11 occurred, I was in college in a Political Science class called "Political Terrorism." Now, since 9/11 had yet to happen, there were quite a few groups that we students could choose to study and report on. (Environmental Extremists ... IRA and so forth). I chose Islamic Extremists because I felt that they were the most dangerous and ergo, interesting to study. A few weeks into the class was 9/11. The entire understanding of terrorism exploded into new levels of understanding! It was probably the best time to be in that class.
Also, another funny little side note ... there has been a recent rise in youtube about the planes all being fake and were all computer animated images for the news. Yeah ... that's right. There were no planes ... insert EPIC FACEPALM HERE!

that's right, the government put their faith in the ability of hundreds of citizens to keep their mouths shut about this huge, huge event that they engineered. Very believable.
