Frequency Asked Questions about the 9/11 Attacks

DC 9/11 Truth

Q: Don't 9/11 conspiracy theories offend the memories of the victims?

A:No, the 9/11 attacks have been used for political reasons that were unrelated to the crimes of 9/11. That is insulting to the victims. Finding the true perpetrators is the only way to respect the victims.

Q: Didn't Al Qaeda take responsibility for 9/11?

A:Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for Katrina floods, New York power outages, and earthquakes. According to British Secretary of State Robin Cook in 2005, Al Qaeda literally means computer "database", named by the CIA, was originally a list of Islamic fundamentalists recruited by the United States in the 1980s.

Q: Do conspiracies exist?

A:Conspiracy is a legal term. Government prosecutors often legally convict people for conspiracy. Our law enforcement officials are trained to investigate conspiracies, although political forces prevented a real investigation of 9/11 while preparations for war had already begun.

Q: Aren't conspiracy theories fictitious?

A:The phrase "conspiracy theory" is used to close down an uncomfortable discussion. There are plenty of conspiracy theories that turned out to be documented fact, like Iran‐Contra, COINTELPRO, and the 1953 CIA coup in Iran. While COINTELPRO is as real as Obamacare, if you talk about COINTELPRO, people will assume it is just a "conspiracy theory" because it does not correspond with their ideal of the United States.

Q: What is a false flag event?

A:A false flag event is a staged event used to manage public opinion. The "father of public relations" Edward Bernays, for example, who worked for major U.S. corporations and the Pentagon, said "Now public opinion stood out as a force that must be managed [because] ....There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions."

Q: Isn't a conspiracy of this size impossible?

A:Conspiracies of this magnitude are performed using compartmentalization. Most people involved do not realize the larger picture, and believe they are performing a standalone mission. The World War II Manhattan Project, and Nevada air force base Area 51, were also secrets kept from the public, despite massive involvement by patriotic Americans.

Q: How could Americans plan to kill other Americans?

A:U.S. policymakers have often planned for the death of American citizens in order to manage public opinion. Patriotic Americans who plan for the death of fellow Americans believe they are doing so for the greater good, and that the ends justifies the means. For example, in the 1962 Northwoods document signed by Joint Chiefs of Staff, the plan stated: "Casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." CIA Officer Michael Scheuer stated in 2011: "The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States. Because it's going to take a grass‐roots, bottom‐up pressure. ....Only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary. " In 2000, the "Project for a New American Century", a think‐tank with members who were prominent in the Bush administration, stated in their report that they needed to manage world affairs, but the public would not allow it "absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor."
