9/11: A Conspiracy Theory

This 5 minute Mockumentary is just what the Documentary Doctor ordered for everyone in America and everyone watching the Republican in-fighting from the sidelines. While Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, etc duke it out there are more pressing matters to discuss and dissect: 9/11 Conspiracies. James Corbett’s funny video has gone viral. A few chuckles for some. Terror for others.

James Corbett’s “Corbett Roport” might not yet be as famous as the Colbert Report, but this video is every bit as politically funny and cutting.  He bills his neatly arranged rant as the “Official Conspiracy Theory” and uses every fact, graph, and joke in the book to nail his points home. Jessica Lynch, JFK (of course), and everyone else is linked in this grand old scheme to take down America and drag the world down with it.

Although not technically a documentary, I hope that you will agree that this is worth 5 minutes of your time. Now, we can all go back to watching The Republican Primaries and wonder if that, too, is a conspiracy theory in the making.

    The story of 9/11 is one of multiple uncooperative intelligence agencies all over-saturated with intelligence coupled with a then diminished interceptor system. After the planes hit there was a massive structural failure due to extensive fire damage to the inner frame which led the buildings to collapsing in a relatively straight line. Despite the “Truther’s” insistence on a perfect collapse to suggest a controlled demolition, debris did do damage surrounding structures, including WTC 7 which compromised it’s structural integrity and subsequently fell to it’s side. However, if you leave out the right information liberally use hyperbole you can make anything sound like bullshit.

    What’s even sadder about this conspiracy theory is that if true, it’s actually fairly inconsequential. So governments do bad things? NO SHIT SHERLOCK. Why bother calling for a proper investigation when it would just be one arm of the state investigating the other? Though that’s just one dimension of this self-declared “Truth” movement. Usually 9/11 is the tip of the iceberg in an even grander conspiracy suggesting a hidden cabal which secretly controls the globe! And why wouldn’t you believe it, after all, government’s can’t be trusted (surprise, surprise)!

    9/11 is the gateway drug into bigger and more elaborate conspiracies which constantly feed the paranoia of the consumer. I use “consumer” is it’s most contemporary context, one who buys a product for consumption. These conspiracies are a cottage industry pimped by unsavory individual’s who press for “donations”, subscriptions to radio shows and the purchase of this or that documentary. What’s usually served is some rendition of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, sometimes dolled up to hide the anti-semitic bits for center-left activist types. If you’ve gone even further down the rabbit hole, then you’ll know that all the world’s leaders are actually reptilian aliens and the conspiracy only grows from there. Whatever it is, you’re fear mongered into staying subscribed, much like in the official media!

    It’s nice to see people are concerned the world around them and I genuinely mean it, I’m not trying to be patronizing at all. But what is conscientiousness if it’s false? If we’re going to have activism, then it must be based on reality. That’s a big thing, because a lot of these conspiracies paint a picture of unknown and untouchable despots who rule with an iron fist, which isn’t very empowering to your average Joe. Personally, I feel more fundamental questions should be asked rather than chasing ghosts.

      You sound a bit crazy i must admit. What you are trying to do is to confuse people nothing else. The moral of this little movie was to show what probably happened on that sad sad day. Now you have to decide for yourself whether you beliefe the “official story” or not. If not, you try to do some research(internet,friends,family). Then you decide. For me personal, i found it very hard to accept that now more than 10 years after, historians start to do their work and guess what…. the story is not easily solved. One historian for example says that the government of 2001 either made or let the attacks happen, both on purpose. And what the purpose was and is can be seen to this very day…. war war war…..

      That is pretty reasonable thinking. Puting conspiracy theories and their followers aside, how much sense is in this doc from 0.00 to 1.30s ?
      Btw doesn`t footage of wt7 collapsing shows it imploding rather than falling to a side?

      • Herbman88

        Of course it imploded.

    • Herbman88

      typical, ignorant, uninformed, following in lockstep idiot. This kind of response is just what the government wants to hear.

    • thatguy

      were you foaming at the mouth when you wrote that?

  • Hue Man (Defiantly not a reptilian alien)

    Hello fellow Humans. There are no reptilian aliens. Please focus all your attention on this ’9/11′ theory, who would believe some weak, pitiful human terrorists crashed some weak planes into some weak buildings? Now that’s crazy, just like reptilian aliens controlling all major aspects of your lives is also crazy and completely, defiantly made up. Now remember disgusting weak minded humans, reptilian aliens; not real. 9/11 was an inside job; real. YOU WILL ALL BOW BEFORE YOUR REPTILIAN OVERLORDS! A’hem sorry about that. Seriously though there are no reptilian aliens.

    • smelvin

      lol.. thank you.. I too believe there are no such things as reptilian aliens… (accept in my case where i seriously have seen some) but really like you said there are no reptilian aliens.

    I personally dont know anyone who believes the official story as promulgated by Bush and his Ilk. Even the staunch skeptics I know have to concede that this is was very fishy. History will remember this as being very suspicious to say the least.

    I was surrounded by jerks outside the Portland, Ore downtown library waiting to get in, and was almost assaulted by a dozen of them, getting really testy about the fact I was claiming 911 was an inside job as we waited for the library to open. The stupidity of the cover-up is almost as stupid as the people who believe it. It is hard to face, but the government has gone criminally insane. But, then there is the magic bullet that is the official government account of the murder of JFK. I am ashamed of Americans, Free and brave, not so. Mind controlled slaves who only have the guts to do evil things.

    Learn the facts and you will realize 9/11 was the biggest lie ever perpetrated on a gullible American public. Sadly, the vast majority believes everything their government feeds them. The government realizes this so 9/11 (as sloppy as it was) comes as no surprise. Wake up America.
