Sigh…there’s just no way in hell.

Even if you assume the attacks were staged (stupid I know) how could it possibly be kept under wraps?? There is no way they could have managed to pull that off and not leave one single shred of evidence behind.

I really do think these nutjobs seriously overestimate the power and reach of the U.S. government.

And on a side note: Is it fair to say the Internet has done a lot with regards to the rise of conspiracy theories post 9/11? I don’t remember hearing about wacky stuff like this much in the 90s.

There were groups as far back as the late 60’s who believed that the moon landings were hoaxes. The Birchers were hard-core paranoids and fantasists.
