Does the story claim that vast, powerful, evil forces are secretly manipulating events? If so, this fits the profile of a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theories are rarely true, even though they have great appeal and are often widely believed. In reality, events usually have much less exciting explanations.
The U.S. military or intelligence community is a favorite villain in many conspiracy theories.
In his book 9/11: The Big Lie, French author Thierry Meyssan falsely claimed that no plane hit the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Instead, he claimed that the building had been struck by a cruise missile fired by elements within the U.S. government...........But, nevertheless, the book was a best-seller in France and has been translated into 19 languages, demonstrating the power that even the most groundless conspiracy theories can have.
Consider the source. Certain websites, publications, and individuals are known for spreading false stories, including:
aljazeera.com
rense.com
Conspiracy Planet
Jihad unspun
Islam memo

I was a little shocked too.
Im glad ATS was not up there with RENSE and Conspiracy planet.
But still, it's a condescending love note to every member of this site. It makes me a little angry, you know?
It makes it look like we are just being gullible. Then goes as far as to list Mid-east based websites, just to hit the nail home.

They fail to name ATS because it would drive traffic here. More real news is discussed here than elsewhere, and proof is provided. This site is better than any pay tv service. You can send anyone to rense and not worry about what they see.

It's funny too...so...america.gov....
Debunk the banks running the USA theory then.
Who got money first?
Tell me who started the draft for the Federal Reserve...
Then tell me what group of people meet once a year to discuss the 'economy'.
Explain to me what part of those theories isn't true?
The part about the real group who runs the world?
The global agenda?
The real men who destroy economies?
Unless of course...those arent conspiracy theories now.
Another September 11 urban legend is that an undamaged Bible was found in the midst of the crash site at the Pentagon. In reality, it was a dictionary. But, if a Bible had survived unscathed, that would have seemed much more significant, and been seen by many as a sign of divine intervention.
Four of the hijackers' passports were recovered, including one found on the street minutes after the plane he was aboard crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center.
Unless of course...those arent conspiracy theories now.
Well, to be honest they don't mention ATS because the article was written in 2005 and ATS was not quite as influential back then.
