Conspiracies happen.
Yes, and almost invariably they are blown very soon after, or half-way through.
Whenever a conspiracy is pulled off successfully, when it finally comes out (as it invariably does) it goes down in history as a phenominal effort of beating the odds.
And let me assure you; the odds against a conspiracy going unnoticed are huge; the odds of a benign conspiracy going unnoticed are astronomical; the odds of an actively malevolant conspiracy with the scale of destruction that 9/11 was and
not having somone's conscience give in and blow the whistle are unimaginably high.
I should also add that Al Qaeda did in fact take responsibility for the attacks.
The whole "they're watching us" is true.
The machines are sure, the people aren't. You think the US Government has the manpower to watch every person in their country? Give me a break; there are
known terrorists in the US that go without surveillance because none of the agencies have the manpower to watch them. If they don't have the manpower to watch known and confirmed terrorists, what do you reckon the odds are they have the manpower to watch random US citizens?
The "they planted guerillas in Communist Country Z" is very true and has happened before.
No it's not and no it hasn't. The US
has supported guerillas in various countries before, in Afghanistan for example the US helped fund and train local militias into an organised guerilla force to bleed the Russian occupying forces dry (those Guerillas btw were abandoned when the Russians pulled out and later formed what is now known as Al Qaeda,
ouch.) But Guerillas have never been
planted (what the hell,
planted? Like a bomb? Give me break.) in countries; the US Army lacks the manpower to run it's own Guerilla operations abroad; hell it lacks the manpower to run it's own operations full stop. The US just supplies money, training and direction to Guerilla forces that were already in place and would have fought anyway; they don't create Guerillas, they just beef them up a bit.
"They have aliens and are hiding them" may or may not be true, but sounds plausible.
No, no it doesn't.
In order for aliens to reach Earth, those aliens would need some way to get here, in order for them to get here in any reasonable time frame, they need to have some form of faster than light travel, if that is the case then those aliens have already torn apart almost all modern science and destroyed nearly everything we know about fundamental physical laws, and you're trying to tell me that the US Government somehow 'has' these aliens and is 'hiding' them? Give me a break.
WW2 was partly won by ingenuity on both sides.
WW2 was mostly won by Hitler's stupidity, America's production capability and Russia's meat grinder.
The Cold War was also very, very heavy on espionage.
Well duh. Wars tend to be pretty heavy on espionage. Your point?
You have some huge lengths gone to encryption and decryption.
Gee i wonder why.
USSR actually stole designs for some weapons of mass destruction from some of the highest security in the world.
Yep, that's because if you have a force trying to defend something as small and easily stolen as designs and plans from a force trying to steal said designs and plans, the offencive force has the advantage, and a significant advantage at that.
The same is true anywhere else; the attacker has the advantage. Attackers act, defenders
react. This is why the Goalie in Soccer statistically will let more goals past than he saves; the guy with the ball has the advantage because he is attacking. The same is true anywhere else.
There have been plenty of fake information planted everywhere just to fool people into thinking things otherwise.
And it never lasts long, is rarely successful and always comes out in the end. The rare and notable times when such lies have passed, they've always involved very small groups of dedicated people, large conspiracies never work; there is not a single modern example of a large conspiracy not suffering from a whistleblower or three.
You have some of the smartest people in the West in USA government offices,
No, the smartest people in the West are in the Universities or underground in Europe building big tubes that collide hadrons. The government officials are mostly not very smart at all, constrained by rules and regulations and horrifically inefficient.
Conspiracies happen.
Rarely, and almost never without failure.
Triggering 9/11 is unlikely to be something the CIA would do, but it's certainly not beyond what they would do, considering what they did in Cuba.
If you can't see the difference, God help you, because no mortal can.
It's still extremely unlikely that 9/11 was an inside job. Far more likely, they expected it to happen and shrugged off the idea. Or they just let it happen, which solves the hassle of making it an inside job.
Nobody saw 9/11 coming; 9/11 was outside the rules. In fact there were plans to look at a possible incident of an airliner attack on a skyscraper as a potential crisis scenario. I believe it was scheduled to come up in a meeting about 2 months after 9/11, the scenario was considered extreme and unrealistic, possibly even fantastic; it was completely out of line with all previous terrorist attacks that it was deemed unlikely and unimportant.
Now, the agencies and government did know Al Qaeda was up to something, they knew that Al Qaeda was on the move, and they had the information to put the puzzle together, the problem was none of that information had been processed and Al Qaeda had been throwing up false leads for
months, Al Qaeda had thrown up such a smoke screen that it was impossible to work out exactly what they were doing. They were doing
something, you could be absolutely sure of that, but nobody knew what until it was way too late.
Finally, as a sort of post script, it is a
very different thing to conduct a successful conspiracy in modern peace-time than it is to do so in world-war 2 war time.
