View Full Version : The 9/11 insanity challenge

The other day I was talking to my brother about the 9/11 denier movement. He really didn't know much about them, so in an attempt to adequately convey the scope and magnitude of their nuttiness, I issued him a challenge. "Come up with the stupidest, craziest idea you can imagine about 9/11. I bet the CTists have already put it out there as a serious theory." He thought about it a minute, and answered "Mayor Guliani was involved." Nope, not crazy enough I replied, they already made that claim. He considered a bit more, and came up with an even more extreme case: "The NY firefighters were involved." Still not crazy enough I informed him, and mentioned "pull it." Finally, he racked his brain and came up with the most insane thing he could possibly imagine: "There weren't any planes!"
I now wonder: Is it even possible for someone not acquainted with CTists to imagine a 9/11 scenario so insane and implausible that the 9/11 deniers haven't already claimed it as a serious theory?

A tragedy of such a scale will depress a large number of people. Depressed people often turn to ice cream for comfort. Ben and Jerry brought the towers down to increase profits.

I doubt it. Even the 'no planes' idea has been proposed, ie; no plane hit the pentagon, the planes that hit the towers were missles or holograms, etc.
Actually, this would be a good way to convince someone of the lunacy of conspiracy theories. If someone started posting on a conspiracy theory forum and was gradually exposed to these types of ideas, they might really buy into them. But, if you ask the person what the craziest, dumbest idea they can come up with is, and then show them that conspiracy theorists already believe it, that could show them how crazy these CTist are.

UFO's did it. Apparently 4 UFO's were hijacked by Islamic extremists and crashed into building like cruise missles. Oh those poor aliens!

9/11 happened, but it was not at all what we think it was. The truth is that it was a "proof-of-concept" demonstration by the CIA to the Illuminati. According to whistleblowers inside the CIA who obviously wish to remain anonymous, Project MKULTRA-IV involved the use of Ultra Low Frequency polyharmonic overtone emissions from cell towers and orbiting satellites in order to induce instant hypnosis over continent-sized land areas. Thereupon, specific false memories -- including detailed backstories of the WTC pre-911 -- were broadcast from streetlight cameras in every major city, and planted, pre-planned CGI news footage was broadcast by reporters who themselves were under hypnosis.
The goal of the exercise was to prove that history can be influenced in any way desired by manufacturing events.
There was never a WTC. 9/11 never happened.

You are all wrong.
Everyone knows that it was the crab people with full collusion of the underpants gnomes, using marklars and marklars.
Phase one: Destroy WTC
Phase two: ?
Phase Three: Profit!

I think so, I haven't heard any nuts screaming Go JOE! in the vicinity. Plus there is the Transformers movie so it clearly could be the Hollywood conspiracy that Fox is always talking about.
Wait a minute, I have it, a bunch of renegade Go-Bots who are jealous of the resurrection of the Transformers franchise.

Some people hijacked some aeroplanes and flew them into some buildings.
I realise that's to wacked-out for some people to grasp but it seems convincing to me.

I didn't read [any of] his threads here. I just made up the thing about mass hypnosis above.
Unless!!! What if... what if Christophera and I are actually the SAME PERSON, and neither of us realizes it yet (split personality as a side effect of hypnosis gone wrong)?!

Every character in "King of the Hill" has at least one real-life doppelganger, and I have known them all. My dad didn't sell propane or propane accessories, but both "Bill" and "Bumhauer" worked for him.

No, they a busy trying to get ID accepted into every school in the world, so that everybody will become as dumb as Pinky. This will allow Brain to control everyone.
It's their only long term plan...... they aren't so good at making long term plans.

Finaly, that's it, I figured it out! When I was in NY, I got a very special feeling when I stood ontop of WTC 2. But now I understand that had to do with my brain being manipulated.
Dammit, cost me 13 and a half bucks :mad:

How about - 9/11 never happened. It was all a real-time 3D CGI projection to convince us that it did happen, so that the NWO One World Government could move into the WTC and use it as its new secret headquaters. No one will ever discover this as we all think the Towers were destroyed.
Currently the Towers are covered by some sort of inviso-ray shielding. This is why all the plans for the redevelopment of the site seem to be bogged down. It's all part of the cover-up.
WTC7 was brought down by a CD to provide all the "debris" that was carted away.

I still believe my theory about blank DVD-RW companies pulling off 9/11 and making it look sloppy to fuel conspiracy theory videos holds some water. Think about it. What is the truthers' #1 form of CT video distribution, besides the internet?
DVD-Rs. Companies such as 3M and Imation are making a killing off of DVD-R sales because all the 9/11 Truthers are purchasing stockpiles of them. I have called several companies numerous times asking for all financial records related to the sale of blank DVDs. Each and everytime I am hung up on. If they are innocent, why don't they release these files? What are they trying to hide?
Ask questions. DEMAND ANSWERS!

Now we're getting somewhere. When you consider that in the late 1990s, blue-dye Verbatim DataLife discs were consistently rated among the most reliable media readily available, it sorta makes you wonder why I have NEVER RECEIVED a single copy of Loose Change on a Verbatim DataLife disc. Why are they using self-destructing media??

i suspect its the lower-quality dvd manufacturers such as sonic and prodisc that are behind this
by marketing lower-cost media to groups with nothing to preserve for posterity they make a killing, putting them in position to buy out better companies such as ritek and taiyo yuden
THEN, then sell the high-cost, high-quality media to debunkers (who actually have jobs) and the low-cost, low-quality media to truthers (who are HS kids living in their parents basements) and play both sides against the middle to corner the recordable media market
its the same thing palpatine did in star wars, so it MUST be true
Edit: man, i just re-read that, i need to lay off the kool-aid, or at least start adding some water to the powder

You're on the path, grasshopper. But you have yet to realize that prior to 9/11, not only was there no WTC 1 and 2, but there were no buildings at all.
Prove me wrong, I dare you!! :D
YES, THIS IS A FREAKING JOKE! DUH!

9/11 never really happened. The WTC is existing out there in limbo and we were all just a nasty hallucination to it, made corporeal out of its sheer will-power. Our existence, being more logical than the previous explanation, caused airplanes to be sucked out of the sky so the WTC could destroy itself.
