Personally, I don't think the 9-11 silliness is explicable without reference to the X-Files and the UFO heritage. We know now that the UFO stories were seeded by the U.S. government both to cover up its use of experimental aircraft in the U.S. and its use of sophisticated, high-flying spy planes over the former Soviet Union.
Part of the psy-ops and disinformation machinery of the Cold War involves the diffusion of easily dismissed "conspiracies theories." This also provides them with a way to dismiss real conspiracies with real evidence. Like how the Bush administration constructed a rationale for war in Iraq and sold it to the Democrats and the media and the public.... Or the real conspiracy around 9-11...how Reagan's deregulation of the airlines industry allowed for privatization of airport security, which is directly how the hijackers stole the planes in Boston. But, no, instead of that, we'll talk about what's clearly unserious fairy tales. It we look at the structure of all of this, it's the same silly Roswell crap. A series of unproven assertions capped by a challenge to disprove the assertions that were never proven. Hence, the aliens must be stealthily crossing interstellar space to perform urgent experiments by sticking probes up Gomer. It's silly. Solidarity! Mark l. "The day for real things has not yet arrived. Men prefer shams. . . . A mask, now-a-days, is as good as a face. Better. The people [would] rather be deceived than not." --Henry Clapp, Jr. "The King of Bohemia" 1860
