Judging from your ranking, I'd say all your efforts to dampen "conspiracy theories" were counter-productive.

You might just consider that there is something to these "theories".

Conspiracy: an agreement among conspirators: PLOT

Theory: the general principals of a subject: a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle offered to explain observed FACTS.

911 facts, figures, physics, all examined; that were not either destroyed or shipped to the far east give reason to open a independent investigation. But our leaders combined with the media and Press fail: victims, family, and citizens of the 84 nations toward the truth. WHY?

Because there is an agreement among these conspirators to keep the truth from us.

So when the leaders and press give you this 911 Commission Report as their excuse to the truth grap your dictionary and show them the meaning of: Conspiracy Theory.

It is funny how scientists, and politicians can govern our society to meet their power trips through 'theory' but add conspiracy before 'theory' and they expect us to accept it.

Somewhere around 87% of the U.S. population fail to believe the 911 story. Over 50% believe either our leaders knew about it or involved in it. If the truth came out, do our leaders, private individuals making Billions of dollars and the cause of 100's of thousands of deaths caused by these lies: may create a lynch mob?

Congress rebukes FBI's Okla. City probe By JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writer
Sun Dec 24

WASHINGTON - The FBI failed to fully investigate information suggesting other suspects may have helped Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols with the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, allowing questions to linger more than a decade after the deadly attack, a congressional inquiry concludes.

The House International Relations investigative subcommittee will release the findings of its two-year review as early as Wednesday, declaring there is no conclusive evidence of a foreign connection to the attack but far too many unanswered questions remain...

Previously, the bureau has said it believes its investigation of the bombing was exhaustive and there is no credible evidence that other people were involved.

The subcommittee concludes the Justice Department should not have rushed to execute McVeigh in 2001 after he dropped his court appeals, and officials should have made more efforts to interview and question him about evidence suggesting he might have gotten help from other people who remain unpunished.

The former lead FBI agent in the case, Dan Defenbaugh, told AP a few years ago he was trying to get one last interview with McVeigh to go over unanswered questions in the case but could not get it arranged before McVeigh was executed.

Thanks Alternet, for reminding me of my favorite mind-sore ignoramus, MATT TAIBBI.

Maybe in 2007 you'll consider a truth-teller or two.

Gee, a 911 snow job is the ongoing hit parade topic @ Alternet and still no one from the 911 “truth movement” has been interviewed here… Can we say LIMITED HANGOUT?

ONE MORE TIME:

The standard of proof for 911 cover-up is quite low and well made – much unlike the farce for an official 911 fairytale (911 “Commission”).

Put another way, the case for 911 cover-up is not near “extreme” as one perceived for government “inside job” 911 complicity.

Understand?

There are vast ramifications for an international and system wide 911 cover-up that remains a grave crime in itself. A cover-up that continues as THE all-purpose linchpin for a utterly bogus “war on terror” starring Iraq War Incorporated at public cost for blood money private greed.

The key issue:

An entire lapdog Washington-London and MSM rigged 911 cover-up = overwhelming proof of democracy lost in the west.

In case this is too difficult to take in…

A naked 911 cover-up by an oligarch owned brothel Washington and its parrot MSM is de facto proof AMERICAN DEMOCRACY IS A FRAUD. Ditto for “capitalism” to “open markets” thu “globalization” and on to all other Orwellian slogans that run the west at large.

If cooked elections thru to a train wreck of Big Oil-cartel bank serial lies for war on a noun were not enough? A desperate 911 cover-up to keep a lid on the sting is the absolute topper.

For a blown 911 cover-up shows Washington with its MSM circus as fascist bad theatre. An organized crime con put on by cartel oligarch parasites for the gullible and the self-serving.

Alternet has shown that it is an untrustworthy publication with its sophomoric dismissals of valid 9/11 skepticism.

Using tired disinformation techniques of focusing on several unprovable issues, rather than the mountains of substantiated facts ... let's talk about some of these facts:

In July 2001, George W. Bush was moved out of his high rise hotel in Genoa Italy because of a security threat.

What was that security threat?

The Italian secret service had a warning of an "Al Qaeda" plot to "hijack commerical airliners" and "crash them into the summit of industrialized nations" in order to "assassinate Bush and other world leaders."

The more shocking details of this warning came out AFTER 9-11, in the September 27th 2001 LA Times article "Italy tells of threat at Genoa summit."

It was at this time, July 2001, that John Ashcroft, the attorney general, the man responsible for going after and bringing to justice terrorists in America, told the acting head of FBI that he "didn't want to hear any more about that," where "that" is terrorism and the "system blinking red" with warnings.

Another fact not mentioned all that much, except by Daniel Hopsicker of madcowprods.com, is that the Venice flight school Huffman Aviation where Atta and several other hijackers allegedly trained to fly, was a protected drug smuggling operation. Heroin and cocaine were coming up from Venezueala on Huffman's planes.

The month that Atta arrived there, in 2000, a Huffman plane with 43 pounds of heroin was busted by the DEA at Orlando airport.

The pilot was never prosecuted.

Atta's girlfriend, Amanda Keller, tells how they always had pocketfuls of cash and drugs. Cocaine was always around and they could go down to the flight school to get more if they needed more.

The Dutch creep Rudy Dekkers, who ran the school, instead of being arrested and prosecuted for a host of crimes, was actually used as a congressional witness to tell America how to fight terror. This is a major coverup, and one that remains undiscussed in these nonsensical Alternet articles that seek to avoid substance and promote an anti-conspiracy view.

I can -- and probably will -- go on. But, my point is made. Do not trust Alternet and other (numerous) fake opposition journals. They sell a type of imperialism, the soft-sell variety, the smiling corporatists. Don't buy it.

John Doraemi publishes Crimes of the State.

We can do it folks, there are a couple hours left or so... Post replies and comments to this article on the Top 10 Articles, and do it multiple times, and we can still push this article to the top for 2006!! We want stats!! God bless America!

Ugh- again with the conspiracy stuff.

Once again: there are plenty of people who think that the 9-11 Commission was a whitewash but still do not think that Bush did it!

Many folks on those boards simply COULD NOT GRASP that concept.

The conspiracy theory of history has more nuts than a fruit cake. Don't forget "the grassy knoll."
