Hot take: 9/11 conspiracies are an al-Qaeda psyop to sow dissent and take the U.S. down from within.

    Real hot take:

    The CIA spread conspiracy theories that Bush did it, to discredit the truth: That Cheney knew specifically of the attack and what planes were to be targeted.

    He intentionally sat on information that could have prevented it, not even telling the president. Because he knew it would justify a war and get lil Bush (and by extension himself) four more years.

    And that would have been possible, because Cheney had restructured all the intelligence agencies to report directly to him, if he didn't pass something on to Bush personally, Bush never knew about it.

    And the entire point of Bush being president, was to be the face and fall guy for Cheney.

    See, now, as much as this is a conspiracy theory, it doesn't flatly contradict reality. It's not implausible on the face of it, given what we know. I'm agnostic about it, because at the end of the day, it doesn't really even matter whether anybody knew exactly when and where. The Bushies knew an attack was coming—multiple sources (the Clinton team, the FBI, the CIA)—and they did nothing. That's enough to damn them.

    This is what we should be focusing our attention on, not trying to prove that buildings which suffer severe structural damage, for which they weren't designed, somehow wouldn't fall down.
