For those who aren’t familiar with the term, it means believing something that probably shouldn’t be believed, or being influenced to believe something that’s not necessarily in your best interests.

    The US state apparatus probably knew about 9/11. I can’t probably prove this and I don’t feel like debating it but I feel this strongly. They knew it was gonna happen and let it because they understood how much they could benefit from it. Anyway I didn’t drink enough koolaid to think they orchestrated it.

      It has been proven that parts of the US government did know something was being planned, but had little information about what.

      Intergovernmental rivalries prevented an effective action to prevent or reduce the impact.

      I did believe the US government orchestrated it for a while, but I’m not sure anymore. It’s still one of those “holy shit, this could go either way” conspiracies for me. I’d love to find out the truth once and for all.

      Those passports that were intact whilst everything else burned, and previous false flag projects undertaken or just planned (information mostly freely available online btw), pretty much indicates the main culprit is the US government. 🤷
