1. They don't believe a conspiracy involving so many people could be kept secret.
2. They don't believe that the President of the US could be party to a plot which involves murdering his own subjects.
Typical line of thinking. Both points seem rational on the surface, but need further examination by anyone with a critical mind, who really wants to understand how things work.
1. They don't understand how compartmentalization routinely is used in governments like the U.S. to keep too much information from falling into one person's hands, that could easily allow a conspiracy like 9/11/01 to be pulled off. A few, like 4 or 5 people at the top, could be privvy to the information necessary to carry out the conspiracy. The rest of the worker bee federal employees just need to do their jobs as they always do, on a need-to-know compartmentalized basis. They wouldn't question an order from above that seemed odd. It's part of their job to accept working under compartmentalization. They don't question it, so the conspirators have a free hand. If someone doesn't understand this way of doing business, it's no wonder that they couldn't comprehend a conspiracy of this magnitude being carried out by a select few.
2. To answer the second point, they just have to read history. History has taught that leaders consider their subjects expendable for the greater goal. There are plenty of examples in which people were killed by their leaders to further a goal. This sort of human behavior goes back to the times of the Greeks and Romans. Even in the 21st Century we have examples: Reichstag Fire, Pearl Harbor, Viet Nam, Northwoods Operation (not carried out, but shows how our leaders actually think about their subjects). It's not at all hard to extrapolate this sort of behavior to the current U.S. government and the events of 9/11/01. People just have to understand the context, then it won't seem so unbelievable. It does seem unbelievable at first, but history has proven it has been done in the past. |
