The conspiracy theorists are just crazy or is there something else going on in their minds?

These days he remembers the eighth anniversary of the tragedy of 11 September 2001, the largest terrorist attack in history, which led to the destruction of four airliners and the entire World Trade Center, the complex of skyscrapers and landmark buildings New York, with the loss of nearly 3000 lives, which must be added the tens – if not hundreds – of thousands of deaths caused directly or indirectly resulting from war, and still in progress.

A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING ‘- Among his few enviable records, the tragedy has also to have been the most infested with all kinds of conspiracy theories: theories of thousands often in clear contradiction with each other, propagated over hundreds and hundreds of publications, videos Web sites and strong point of all these fantasies are often presented in an extremely convincing is the fact that very few people know the amount of available documentation and evidence of those events. For example, all the acts and documents produced or acquired by the Independent Inquiry Committee were made public and can be downloaded from the Web History of Commons and the Final Report with all the hearings from time online on the official website of the Commission. Similarly, there are all acts of FBI investigation, the reports of the intelligence services, the entire documentary evidence acquired as part of the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui (the terrorist convicted for attempting to participate in the attacks), the statements of organizers and accomplices before and after their arrest, the technical reports on the collapse of the buildings of the World Trade Center and the attack on the Pentagon, the data of “black boxes”, those of radar recordings and transcripts of phone calls from passengers, voices terrorists in the cockpit, the messages radar, military communications: simple. A copy of this documentation on the Web is not difficult but it can take a lot ‘of research, time and patience. Nevertheless, there are collections and lists can be very useful to those interested in deepening the argument, while those in a hurry can see the E-Book Crono911 that presents a detailed reconstruction of events accompanied by all the references to sources and has the advantage of being in Italian and – above all – free. The questions and doubts of all conspiracy theorists are so timely response, but the truth is that they are not interested in the answers. Hardly find a site link or conspiracy correct citations of the documents available, because the main purpose of a conspiracy is not to determine or verify the facts, but to propagate the theory or theories that he likes best. Why? Many psychologists and sociologists have developed interesting explanations, but after years and years of experience on the galaxy conspiracy they appear unsatisfactory, or at the most appropriate to interpret the behavior of an external part of the galaxy but not the core of characters represented by a certain thickness from which originates the whole phenomenon.

BIBLIOGRAPHY “Reason” – In these cases, the spring is not some psychological and social maladjustment, but the will to pursue economic or ideological purposes. On this point the events of September 11, offer interesting insights. For example, the first true “conspiracy” was Thierry Meyssan, who in 2002 published the book The Pentagon and the effroyable imposture in which argues that no plane hit the Pentagon and that the events of September 11 are a self- organized attack from Western intelligence agencies. Meyssan has done a lot ‘of money with his books. Thanks also to the Arab League and Gulf Cooperation Council, they have been translated into at least 28 languages ​​and sold millions of copies around the world (The only Effroyable Impostures totaled 700,000 copies in a few months). That alone would be enough to indicate an economic return of the reasons that make women to propagate such theories, and above all to reflect on the immense turnover, which is behind the spread of certain nonsense, a little ‘as UFOs, the paranormal , etc … In Italy we have the products, including books and movies, Massimo Mazzucco, Maurizio Blondet and – above all – Giulietto Church. This attempted “coup” with the film “Zero,” made possible by a kind of “ownership” of popular films for which the funding was given to 1000 shares worth 500 euros each. The payment of the fee entitled him to participate in the profits that the film would stretch from the spread in the great national cinema circuit. Things have turned out differently and the film never came to the Halls (with a few amateur projection) but in the meantime the 500,000 euros in the “financing” population were pocketed and judging by the quality of the film is doubtful that the expenditure incurred achieve it have been more than a tenth of that sum. Sometimes the foreign national network and also sent, in whole or in part, and it is important to remember that fees and charges for the transmission of a television network to spread very easily can exceed 30,000 euros for an hour of footage.

OF THE NETWORK (S) KNOWLEDGE – The payback, however, is not the only reason to propagate conspiracy theories. Meyssan, Voltaire Network chairs the international organization, with offices and agencies in Europe, Latin America and the Islamic world, very active in the anti-American propaganda and anti-Israeli, in publications at least six languages, including Italian . So to speak, at this time on the home page of the site stands an article which states that “A year ago, the Saakashvili regime, framed and reinforced by the United States, United Kingdom and Israel was bombing South Ossetia By protecting its citizens, Russia has intervened, destroying the Israeli bases and entered into Georgian territory. Bewildered by the effectiveness of the Russian army that was defined, outdated, Washington dispatched Nicolas Sarkozy and Dmitry Medvedev to negotiate a cease-fire. ” Voltaire Network is closely similar to the cohesion of brotherhood Megachip Italian organization that counts among its managers and employees a number of conspiracy theorists, including Giulietto Church, Pino Cabras, the historian Franco Cardini. In 2005 Voltaire Network has organized the Axis for Peace international conference attended by representatives of 37 nations in the world. Among the speakers are big names in the global conspiracy undicisettembrino, including – besides the same Meyssan – Giulietto Church, Andreas Von Bulow, Philip Berg, Leonid Ivashov.

FRIENDS OF THOSE A LITTLE ‘SO – Voltaire Network has been accused by some of his own administrators to have close contacts with the terrorist organization (or fighter, according to taste) Hezbollah and the words spoken by Meyssan – a combination that lives in Lebanon – in an interview does not seem particularly reassuring in this regard: “After going wrong from Caracas to Damascus to Moscow, I stopped in Beirut where I put at the service of resistance.” Even the ideological positions of American conspiracy theorists reveal interesting peculiarities. Much of it is credit from the American Free Press news agency, known for its neo-Nazi and his sympathy for the Holocaust denial. The journalist Christopher Bollin conspiracy, in a letter of response to those who asked on behalf of its positions denying the Holocaust, has skirted the question of speaking against Allied bombing Dresden: “They accuse me of denying the Holocaust and to work for a newspaper neo-Nazi. I’m no expert on the history of the Second World War, I visited important places of the war. For example, I spent a month in Dresden … Anglo-American bombing of Dresden was indeed a holocaust … I certainly am not a Holocaust denier … I visited several concentration camps in Auschwitz, Dachau and Buchenwald, and all I can say is have not seen any evidence of these large furnaces where it is said that the Jewish prisoners were cremated … I have not seen in these fields no evidence of any large furnace in which hundreds of people could be gassed or burned, no photographs or other physical evidence … the bombing of Dresden arsonist is the only true Holocaust that I have seen evidence …. ” Again, the denial does not seem particularly convincing.

AND LOTS AND LOTS OF OTHER – And we could go on and on (but space does not allow it) on the puzzling elements of contact between the American and world conspiracy of anti-neo-Nazi (American and Arabic). In fact, this fringe (for far as we can see the majority) of the international conspiracy arouses much more concern than the one linked to extremism of the left anti-American and anti-Israeli. But there are also conspiracy theorists who follow religious visions in an imaginative mix of paranormal and UFO: so the prof. Steven Jones (the one that says that the Twin Towers were demolished with explosives) is convinced he has found evidence that Jesus Christ was in Latin America, while the theologian David Ray Griffin argues that the September 11 attacks have been operated by an “evil force” that opposes “the creative force of the universe.” In short, before being fascinated by conspiracy theories, it is good to reflect on the real aims of the proposers, in order to avoid bitter surprises.
