As Chilling as the thought of our government lying to us is, the idea of our own government being behind the attacks is not so far fetched; Would our own government stage a fake terrorist attack? More importantly, what would our government gain from staging a tragedy such as the attacks on 9/11? As we look into the months and years following 9/11 and as we analysis the governments response to the attacks from a political, scientific and even a conspiratorial perspective, we begin to see how the U

While you may consider me a "conspiracy theorist" due to my skepticism of the attacks on 9/11, the fact remains that the government has already been exposed for taking advantage of the damage on 9/11, violating the inalienable rights of the American people through illegal spying and other malicious practices; Whether our government was behind the attacks or not, the suspicious handling of the events on September 11th, 2001 has become a problem of trust between the American people and the United States government in recent years and we must find out why the events were managed the way they were.
