I can see that. The issue I have with a lot of theories is they assume a higher degree of competence than can be afforded to governments, corporations, and institutions. The second issue that I have with a lot of theories is that they also assume a higher level of cooperation between rival individuals, groups, departments, and businesses. Conspiracies can and do occur but the more believable ones imo have hiccups, fuck ups, backfire spectacularly, and have the simple motive of making more money. Religion or politics can be a factor sometimes too but a lot of conspiring is done for money imo.HIV/AIDS was a targeted bioweapon that was meant to curb the sporadic population growth of Africa by killing the Natives and to reduce tourism and emigration. But it backfired when it spread more wildly than they predicted and became associated with sexualty as opposed to race.
That being said I don’t believe in stateless or sponsorless terrorism outside of skitzo lone wolves - but even then some organizations try to cultivate or encourage those kinds of attacks. Terrorists need training and supplies ie food, weapons, water, ammunition, etc. Furthermore, they rely upon some officials looking the other way or at least being unable to act against them. It helps if they have a powerful political figure which can protect and finance them...
That is why I’m convinced 9/11 was perpetrated by the Saudi government and later the US government tried to cover it up because they’re important “allies” to our “interests” in the Middle East. They’ve been sued unsuccessfully and there was a coverup on their involvement. Documentation has been released/leaked that shows that 11 of the hijackers were financed by individuals connected to the Saudi government and at least two of them were apart of GID. I can’t speak for their reasoning but if I had to guess they were hoping that we’d pull out of the Middle East entirely since at the time there was this notion that the United States had no appetite for war because of Vietnam.
The reason I suspect this is that they have a lot of rich and powerful religious zealots in the country that were livid over us putting troops in Saudi Arabia prior to the first gulf war. IMO they made a gross miscalculation and were hoping Americans would demand to leave the region and just continue arming them instead... but it backfired when the whole country was pissed off. It was covered up by glowies because acknowledging it would’ve resulted in a diplomatic crisis against our “interests” in the Middle East. Also imo America fought a pointless war against Iraq because they just wanted to kick something. It also backfired for the zealots in that now Americans are indifferent to war, so the hawks/the military industrial complex can get away with a lot more in the Middle East -or anywhere- than what they could before.
I also suspect the Pakis were holding onto Bin Laden as a card against the Saudis. I have no evidence of him becoming a Paki asset at a later point besides being a paranoid autist who finds it odd that he was where he was. I’m also guessing that is a major reason we Americans killed him without involving the Paki government.
