I watched this video online last night about 9/11. I have a few ‘conspiracy theories’ and believe a few “different things” about the attack, but nothing has really made me pause and take notice like this video did. It was talking about the buildings and how they collapsed (or imploded really) and that neither the jet fuel burning nor the impact of the crash could have taken those buildings down like that. I don’t really know a lot about engineering or the temperature that will melt steel, but they did show snippets from different materials (facts) that backed up what they were saying. It made their ideas seem not only intriguing, but downright hard to dispute.

I think it’s an absolute necessity that the American public question what they’re told. Based on the responses regarding the video alone (on a message board), it is extremely scary how many people will just dismiss another viewpoint because it makes them feel uncomfortable or because they heard the “real” story on the news. Let us not forget that the major news networks are businesses.

Okay before I start getting into the public and how blind they are (I thought I was naïve? Woah), let me get to my point. My point is that this video is really making me reconsider everything I’d previously believed about 9/11. I thought it was possible that flight 93 was shot down, I thought it was possible that the government had some advance warning that they didn’t know what to do with, I thought it was possible that Bush played a part in it because of his family businesses that would seriously profit from a war, I questioned why we’re still in Iraq (after finding no weapons of mass destruction) and yet we haven’t really made an effort to find Bin Laden who everyone thinks was responsible. But I never really believed that the government had a hand in it.

I question that now. I wonder if the owner of the buildings knew what was going to happen? How coincidental that he purchased insurance protection from terrorist attacks just 6 weeks before 9/11. How coincidental that Mayor Guliani didn’t use his emergency command center in WTC building 7 and it collapsed (no plane struck this building) from “fires”.

I can’t say that I’m 100% sure this was planned by the US government but I can say that I’ve opened my mind a bit to the entire idea. I have questions. I’ll do a little investigating. I’ll plant the seed of doubt in the minds of my friends and family.

So on Saturday the 15th of September, my mom had a stroke. A fucking stroke. She's only 49 years old. She wasn't able to use the left side of her body at all for a few days. She's finally walking with a walker, and can feel most things on her left side now- but it's just madness.

We're going to Florida in three weeks. She's stressed because her boyfriend is an immature fuck who gives her a hard time (they were actually arguing when this happened) and because she's raised his daughter since she was a baby (and therefore can't leave him). Shitty situation. My brother and his girlfriend also moved in the weekend before. Joy for all involved, I'm sure.
