The United States has one of the most complex and effective government systems in the world. They have helped this country overcome a conglomeration of many different issues that have arisen. Although the government is so great in power and possibilities, there are many questions left unanswered and many secrets that are kept hidden away. Many refer to these secrets or possibilities of cover up stories, conspiracy theories. Area 51, the JFK assassination and even the moon landing are amongst the infamous government cover-up stories. There are more secrets to the United States government than meets the eye. Recently there was one of the most tragic moments in United States history, the attack on the World Trade Centers Twin Towers. September 11th is a day many people will never forget; unfortunately, it is also a day which has left many questions unanswered.
Almost everyone can recall exactly what they were doing and where they were when they first heard the news of the attacks on the Twin Towers on September 11th 2001. Many sat in disbelief that day staring at the TV trying to figure out exactly what was happening. Here is the story as most know it. American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:45 a.m. causing a gaping whole and also setting fire to the interior of the building. Eighteen minutes later a second plane, United Airlines Flight 175, crashed into the South Tower causing an explosion as well. Soon after both planes hit, New York shut down all airports in the New York City area. Bridges, tunnels, and subways were also ordered to be shut down in New Jersey and New York. Already at 9:30 a.m. President Bush, while in Sarasota Florida, had declared this a terrorist attack...
Conspiracy?
Those who want to believe that there was a conspiracy behind 9-11, the Kennedy assassination, the Lincoln assassination, whatever, will believe that there was a conspiracy, no matter what material is put forward to rebut the conspiracy. They would merely insist that the evidence offered is phony, and go right on.
In 1969, James Earl Ray confessed to the murder of Martin Luther King. He eventually found a lawyer, Mark Lane, who pushed his theory that he was framed and that the real assassin was a mysterious figure, Raoul, whom Ray insisted had somehow paralleled his movements as part of an elaborate set-up. When Lane and Ray were finally given a congressional hearing to put forward their theory, it turned out that the FBI had a great deal of evidence that shredded Ray's claims. Conspiracy buffs leaped at the case, insisting that the FBI had covered up details. The better explanation was that the FBI had not tipped its hand to the incorrigible liar Ray, who spent the rest of his life in jail, although insisting to the end that he was not the killer.
In short, the claims in this essay are highly speculative, almost to the point of irresponsibility. And the conspiracy buffs will keep their faith, the fact be damned.
