Do
You Believe There was a
9/11 Conspiracy?
Pretty
crazy right? But I do.
I believe
that 19 hijackers conspired to hijack four planes and fly them into four
different buildings.
Oh wait,
is that a conspiracy theory? Sounds like a conspiracy theory. Am I crazy
for believing in conspiracies then?
Of course
not. Every thinking adult knows that conspiracies are a routine part of
life. It’s how cliques are formed and business is run. Every prosecutor
worth his salt knows how to charge people with conspiracy. It’s one
of the government’s greatest ways of prosecuting people for crimes
they commit.
9/11 was
a conspiracy. The government made the case and the public readily accepted
it. So what makes a crazy conspiracy theory?
Crazy conspiracy
theories are theories that the majority of people don’t believe.
So how do you get a majority to listen to a new theory that by definition
is crazy because nobody knows about it yet?
Newspapers
and books might advance it, juries and governments might legitimize it,
a skeptical public might accept it, but all must be open to asking the
question. Asking questions is what Rakemucker is all about.
