National Conspiracy Theorist day

Post by JamesVincent »

Also known as Coming Out day for the thousands of morons who emerged from their parents basements to disparage hundreds of engineers and scientists who wrote the 9/11 reports. If not for them we would have just accepted the perfectly reasonable and logical explanations provided by intelligent and thoughtful experts and instead embrace theories that involve a vast conspiracy involving multiple nations, tens of thousands of government employees across dozens of government agencies as they tell you how incompetent the government is. Who wouldn't believe?

In all seriousness this second day of infamy us still remembered and will never be forgotten.

Or just accepted what our lying eyes were telling us when we thought saw two airliners crash into the Trade Center towers on live TV.

Every year I see the same theories floated around. Every year I see them put down and myself have helped to put them down and the people spreading them. Never ceases to amaze the lengths people will go to make something simple into something so complex.

These conspiracy theorists are well edjiccated. They got their degrees from Youtube University, Facebook Institute of Technology, or Google Schools of Graduate Studies.

I do wonder what conspiracy theory will replace it. It’s been nearly two decades, at some point a new one will come along.

There's been other events and other theories but none of them gained the traction that 9/11 did. Several mass shootings had conspirists coming out of the woodwork, like Newtown, but none of them have the endurance. What was kinda surprising is that several large scale terrorist attacks have occurred around the world and never got the treatment that 9/11 did. And it can't be just that it happened on American soil, we've seen plenty of conspirists around the world. It's almost like people actually believe what the government reports.... except for that report.
