Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

Feds could have stopped 9/11, but chose not to.

[–] halvar@lemm.ee 31 points 1 year ago

As far as I understand they could have stopped it but it would have required them swallowing their pride and sharing their data and cooperating with "rival" agencies.

The Looming Tower is a fantastic mini series which covers the inter agency bullshit that allowed it to happen

[–] Chuymatt@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Yah, not really conspiracy, but BS that allowed bad things.

Lmfao seems reasonable, hopefully he'll be held accountable

[–] Nonameuser678@aussie.zone 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The real truth of 9/11 is far darker than the idea that it was an inside job. It being an inside job implies that the Bush administration was competent.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I mean, Bush and Saudi families have been friends for generations. Doesn't seem too far fetched for them to work together.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They had all the information on 911 but all in different agencies and different people who didn't connect the dots.

After blm and j6, I am assuming feds did it.

No big ticket item crime in US gets done with out them playing at least some role.

[–] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Hell they don't even need to do much. A few internet comments, and bada bing bada boom, you got a headline.
