Conspiracy or truth? In this day and age, every news and event has a conspiracy theory linked to it, not just one but millions. Most of them are made up intended for humour and fame however there are loads out there which provide physical evidence proving the truth behind it. Not everything said by the government makes sense therefore maybe the government shouldn’t be trusted? So instead of trusting them, I decided to go over a few conspiracies. How about the most recent one? The outbreak of Ebola. I strongly believe that Ebola virus is a bioweapon, this is because the US government know there are more demands than supplies and they cannot handle it, financially. They have a desire for world depopulation and are encouraging the use of bioweapons …show more content…
Tony Rooke, a man who refused to pay his bill to the BBC because he believes they have covered facts and destroyed the original footage of the 9/11 attacks. The original footage has miraculously disappeared and the BBC have blamed it on a ‘cockup’. Tony has exposed it all, with lots of evidence and scientific experiments done to prove that a plane couldn’t have destroyed 2 entire buildings, it is evident that the US government have lied to us. I found out that once the explosion and fire had calmed down, there was no trace of any desks chairs or even a pen, a jet engine plus oil couldn’t have had THAT much of an effect where not even a trace of a pen was found. This had to be a timed explosion and a certain chemical reaction to destroy to that extent. I also believe the explosion was exaggerated purposely to destroy any trace that gave away the true answer or even evidence towards it. How much of this do you believe compared to what the news claim is the ‘truth’? A photographer from Brooklyn, New York, named Mark Phillips climbed to his roof and took photos of the burning World Trade Centre, which was then published and shared by the Associated Press. After the release, he started to notice that people were seeing an unexpected image in one of the pictures. When he himself examined the photo he saw it, too. "The image I saw was distinct," he later wrote. "Eyes, nose, mouth, horns." …show more content…
I knew I wanted the world trade centre buildings present however I was confused on whether to have them broken or keep them as they were, I also didn’t know where to place them. I started by cutting it out and moving across my page to see if I find a fit, however my art teacher advised me to think of a layering affect which gave me the idea to place the buildings behind one of the scales and have the smoke overlap the scale. This was to also represent the importance of justice and how no matter how horrific the event is, justice will/should always be
Many people believe jet fuel can melt steel and others, like myself don’t. The documentary focuses on numerous buildings on fire for more than 17 hours and they still stayed standing, the structure didn’t even weaken. No fire, however severe, has ever caused a steel-framed high-rise building to collapse. The World Trade Centre was what engineers call a “tube” structure, it was made of a very strong mesh of steel. The construction manager of the World Trade Center said he designed the towers to “stand even if a fully loaded 707 crashed into it” which was the largest plane at the time. Before the 9/11 attack, fires had previously occurred in one of the towers, for 3 hours but there wasn’t any structural
Smoke and flames were spewing out of gaping holes bored by American Airlines’ Boeing 767 that crashed between the 93 and 99 floors on the North face of the 110- story building. Each of the North Tower floors were roughly an acre. The top 20 floors engulfed in flames, he was staring at a 20- acre fire raging 90 stories above. He thought in his head that, This is the most unbelievable sight I’ve ever seen. Meldrum parked the fire truck on the West Street in front of the
The World Trade Center (WTC) held fairly high regard throughout New York as a structurally sound building, but the authors of 102 Minutes beg to differ on this opinion. They use various diagrams and statistics of the incredible impact and destruction the planes caused to the building, arguments against the poor architectural design and support of the towers, and periodic timestamps to make claims and factual statements about the events that occurred. The timestamps serve as a means of the authors building suspense in their audience, deepening uncertainty in the audience which intends to move them to read further and discover the office laborers’ fates. Moments like “At 9:19… we’re trapped… there’s smoke coming in. I don’t know what’s happening”(102 Minutes 186) and when Assistant Chief Callan“stood
Ever heard a story so outlandish that you start to wonder if that could possibly ever happen. Well you’ve just been told a conspiracy theory, but do not worry. Many people don’t just wonder about them, they believe in them. There is a great many reason of why this is, there have even been studies done on it. Many scientists concede that people believe in conspiracy theories because they have some uncertainty or fear with in them, and the conspiracy is a way to relieve themselves. They also believe that mistrust has a huge roll in people believing, especially mistrust in huge corporations and big bodies of power such as the government. But fear and mistrust aren’t the only reasons. People also just love a good story, something that is complex and has a lot of action. I mean no one goes to the movie to see a movie about paint drying. They want drama, romance, and lots of action. That’s why people are so compelled into believing conspiracy theories.
Over the years there have been many occurrences that have led to many suspicious citizens that do not believe the answers that they receive which has led to the creation of conspiracy theories, and many of them. Some of them make sense and provide factual information and support yet others are more abstract and do not contain much proof and if they do contain proof it is quickly deemed as false. In some cases some conspiracy theories turn out to be the truth. The definition of a conspiracy theory is an explanatory hypothesis that accuses a person or group of people of planning and or covering up major events that have occurred throughout history.
While civilians watched the North Tower disappear in the mist of smoke another plane was enroute towards the World Center after also being
Firstly, one conspiracy that seems somewhat true was someone or something other than al Qaeda orchestrated the events of 9/11. A few reasons why I believed this theory could be somewhat true for one reason. One reason is that 9/11 either happened on purpose or by allowing it to happen,
A conspiracy theory is usually defined as an attempt to explain the ultimate cause of an important societal event as part of some sinister plot conjured up by a secret alliance of powerful individuals and organizations (Linden para 4). There are always two sides to a story, and there is a major amount of evidence to support both sides. Major conspiracy theories would be, if 9/11 had actually be planned by the United States government, whether Barack Obama was a legal citizen to be the president of the United States, and the most argued conspiracy theory, if man had ever truly stepped foot on the moon. Everyone is expected by the government to believe the moon landing had actually occurred. Little do people actually know, there is a tremendous
Although Ebola was first reported in 1976, little news was released on the outbreaks which had occurred in Sudan and Zaire and which had taken away the lives of 434 people. Then in 1989 there was the Reston incident, where monkeys shipped to the United States from the Philippines, died in large numbers due to what is now known as Ebola Reston, and the virus killed all monkeys. Fortunately that particular strain was not found to be deadly to humans. For now, the Ebola virus appears again and causes large damage in Africa. The horrible disease failed to appeal to those media institution which results in the information interruption, the public do not have an access to the newly information concerning Ebola. The study on the relationship between
A large group of people called “The 9/11 Truth Movement”, that an airliner didn’t hit the Pentagon and the World Trade Centre couldn’t have been brought down by airliner impacts and burning aviation fuel alone. The group had pointed out the demolition squibs emerging from the Twin Towers at levels far below the aircraft impact zones and prior to the collapses. Many witnesses, including the firemen, policemen and people who were inside the towers, claim to have heard explosions below the aircraft impacts, including the basement levels. The day of September 11, 2001, was widely derided by the conspiracy community and held up further evidence that 9/11 was an “inside job”.
Conspiracy theories have been around for a long time. A conspiracy theory is the belief that an unexplained event was a result of an organization or sometimes the government. There are many conspiracy theories circulating the web.
Although, according to my recollections, much of that morning seems to be more precisely recorded and recalled than other events I have experienced, further indications are that this may not be so, for “research shows that… supposed flashbulb memories are not necessarily any more accurate than other memories” (ScienCentral, 2007, para. 6). To easily illustrate these findings, minor details, which were a part of my memory during or shortly after the attacks, have since been forgotten. Examples of such information are: names of rescuers and firemen mentioned during broadcasts, flight numbers of the planes used in the tragedy, and the identities of the passengers aboard each plane.
While the 9/11 Truth Movement’s (the official group of 9/11 conspiracy theorists) followers raise seemingly valid and challenging questions, it doesn’t take much to find the answers that shake the base of the conspiracy theorists’ foundation and render the
If you watch any modern television shows or listen to modern media, you realize how many huge occurrences for the world could be thought of as fake or a hoax. Huge networks like ‘Discovery,’ ‘National Geographic,’ and ‘Fox News’ support these kind of conspiracies as well, making articles
In all arguments there are five components that must be defined before they can be considered an argument. Of the five components exigence is paramount, as it defines what the argument is concerning. In a previous course I took, through the honors department, a group that I was in was assigned to argue a nationwide response to a theoretical Ebola outbreak. This assignment provided an issue that, if turned into a reality, would require a large response from the given audience. Through this connection, it is evident that the exigence is: the outbreak of Ebola and what the public should do. It matches the definition of exigence given by Nancy Wood by defining what the issue of the argument is. By drawing on what Blitzer said in his essay,
