The Conspiracy Theories Of The United States

On September 11, 2001, 19 people hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against their targets.. Two of the planes crashed into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, the third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters. (“9/11 attacks”2010). The conspiracy theories started just days after the September 11, 2001 attack. The conspiracies were easy to spread fast when using the internet and they became more and more elaborate as time went on. The most popular 9/11 conspiracy theory is that 9/11 was orchestrated by the American government.

Most of us know about the tragedy of 9/11. However, how many of you know that 9/11 was actually an inside job. Well this is what happened on September 11, 2001 when nearly 3,000 people were killed in the terrorist plane hijacking. These attacks happened at the world trade centre, the pentagon and the site of a plane crash in Pennsylvania.

On September 11, 2001 four passenger commercial jet airliners were hijacked and as a result approximately 3,000 human lives were lost. When asked about 9/11, many can recall exactly what they were doing when they heard the news that a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings and many Americans can tell you how it all unfolded and the reason behind such a travesty. The “official story” provided by officials, and restated by Sofia Shafquat, producer of “9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions” say that “four passenger planes were hijacked and taken radically off course, within an hour, two of the planes had flown into the enormous steel towers of the World Trade Center, creating fires and eventually toppling them” (Shafquat).

The official story of 9/11 is a conspiracy theory in that the government claims 19 hijackers conspired together to hijack four planes and create terror in the world. Four American airplanes were hijacked; two were driven into the World Trade Centers and the third airplane into the Pentagon. The fourth airplane suspected target was the White House, but it was diverted by the brave men and women aboard that hijacked airplane, and crashed the airline jet before it could reach its target. It was like time stood still as America watched through television broadcast these unbelievable and horrifying events taking place. The reports told of the smell the jet fuel, burning flesh, and people jumping out windows to their death to escape the flames.

The September 11 attacks were tragic events that had spread shockwaves of horror and grief across the United States. The tragedy became the subject of controversy as some skeptics began to doubt the details reported to have transpired that day. Some people question its legitimacy, theorizing that the Bush administration devised and orchestrated the attacks to further its agenda. Filmmaker Dylan Avery discusses and promotes this prevalent conspiracy theory in his documentary, Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup. Avery argues that the government possessed foreknowledge of the attacks by comparing them to precedents of similar situations. He challenges the official explanations and provides his analyzations of evidence from the reports and media. Avery effectively appeals to pathos, ethos, and logos in his film, but his compelling argument is ultimately undermined by fallacies.

A major conspiracy theory that shook the world is the nature of collapse of the two World Trade Center towers and the nearby WTC7 (7 world trade center) on September 11, 2001.This claims was based on the attack of the USA by al-Qaeda and believe that some government officials had knowledge of the planned event before the attack. Conspiracy theorists believe that the building was brought down by an explosion rather than a terrorist attack and disagreed with the 2002 investigation which concluded that the collapse was as a result of fire. Conspiracy theorists believed that the US government was hiding the truth about the event especially after

Do you remember where you were on Tuesday, September 11, 2001? Well if you do, then this should be a memory refresher, but if you don’t, heres something for you to learn. There were four airlines that were hijacked by the Islamic Extremist Group, Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda had planned to use a suicide attack against the United States. At 8:45 am, two of the four hijacked planes crashed into the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center, the third plane hit the Pentagon in Washington DC and the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. This day, was going to change America forever. Since the terrorist attacks, there has been many conspiracy theories that put fourth to what “actually happened”. As these conspiracies come, they range from planes not even hitting the Twin Towers but bombs that destroyed those buildings to the government knowing and going along with the plan of attack. Even though that the government says they made up the attack now, the 9/11 attack did happen how we thought it happened because of Islamic Extremist group thinking that America is weak, thousands of people died and we ended up going to war to find Osama Bin Laden. One might say that the government did not plan the 9/11 attack. Heres what the Islamic Extremest group is and what their purpose for their attack was.

I don’t think it is a conspiracy theory. Using my perspective, we don’t know what happens behind those boardroom meetings, if it so happened they are deceiving, or having secret agendas then I see it as using power for a conspiracy theory. However, helping each other is a strategy to penetrate the world with their products increasing popularity. When I looked at the military, they help each other out to maintain the level of control in by offering military advice to a nation or humanitarian assistance to countries suffering from natural disaster or leadership. With a limit to such borders, it becomes easy to assist, so it is a reality. Since the global elite is influential individuals helping each other out is a good thing but at the same

The first theories and speculations started as soon as the towers were struck that morning on September 11th, 2001, when news reporters where trying to guess what or who could be the cause. Many people started talking about 9/11 as a government act, saying that Bush set it all up to make a good excuse to go to war with the terrorists mostly for oil purposes. Many people to this day don’t know what to believe. The Pentagon crash, the Pennsylvania crash, and the World Trade Center buildings 1, 2, and 7’s collapse: It’s a lot to cover up if it was in fact a government act. It was impossible for the government to make and cover up a “False Flag Operation,” and that there is no conspiracy behind it at all.

September 11, 2001, at 8 a.m, American Flight 11 crashes into the World Trade Center North Tower. 17 minutes later, American Flight 175 crashes into the World Trade Center South Tower. 30 minutes go by and the Pentagon is hit by American flight 77. A final fourth plane crashes 60 miles southeast of Pittsburgh after passengers are able to retake the plane and prevent what was supposed to be a hit on the White House. 10;28 a.m, the World Trade Center Towers have collapsed (History.com Staff 1). These attacks stunned the US and will be mourned forever. Each attack was performed by members of al-Qaeda, a global Islamic extremist group bent on institutionalizing their way of life on others through acts of force (Hayes 1). Or at least, that is the official story, this is prone to conspiracy from people who say this was just an excuse for the US to attack the middle east, and take advantage of resources there. But in these conspiracies, beliefs differ in what actually happened.

Conspiracy Theories are ideas based off of opinions made by individuals who are unhappy with an outcome of something or have found conflicting data and facts. Theories can pop up anywhere, anytime, about anything anyone can have conflicting viewpoints surrounding the subject. Anyone can find a conspiracy online, in books, on social media, and even on television. Conspiracy theories are everywhere, and cause a lot of drama in everyday society. Some people even use theories to hurt opponents, cause drama between partners, and cause damage to information in factual books and websites.

Conspiracy theories something that has been happening for years and years, they are widely known for making people think, for people going crazy. The definition of conspiracy theories according to the dictionary are the belief an organization or a person is responsible for an event. The definition to me would be rumors that are told that are never known if they are true or false. A concept of a conspiracy theory to me I believe that it started with just rumors then someone would blame someone then it would just blow up more and more. This meaning that whoever the conspiracy theory is about then they are getting more publicity for everyone talking about the truth or the lie. As the years have gone on it has been worse with almost anything and everything that happens in the world is now a conspiracy theory. The media take a big part in what happens with conspiracy theories with them blowing them way out of proportion even if they seem completely wrong in the

A shortened version, four items of The Belief in Conspiracy Theories Inventory (BCTI), developed by Swami et al. (2010) cited in Byford (2015, p.112), was used for this study. The participants involved are required to evaluate the degree to which they believe that a statement pertaining to a particular well-known conspiracy theory is true and indicate it on the scale provided.

As defined by Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a conspiracy theory is “a theory that explains an event or situation as the result of a secret plan by usually powerful people or groups.” Conspiracy theories can be found all over the world.They are an inevitable part of society. As long as mankind exists, conspiracy theories will as well. The main things that people form conspiracy theories around are things such as government operations, the deaths of famous people, and national tragedies. Staying true to this statement, one of the most prominent national tragedies that isconspired about all over the world is the series of attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. There are many conspiracy theories concerning 9/11. These theories include the proposals that 9/11 was faked and that the planes were actually missiles. Some conspirators even go as far as saying that the planes were just projections from a hidden projector device. Out of all of these conspiracy theories, the most plausible of all is the one that states that the twin towers did not just randomly collapse. This theory states that the twin towers were demolished with the use of explosives. Society will never be able to be fully certain about the events that occurred on that horrid day. With signs pointing to both the affirmative and the negative, one cannot be certain of whether or not this conspiracy theory is true.
