Siden terrorangrebene på World Trade Center 11. september 2001 har konspirations-teorierne floreret som aldrig før: at World Trade Center styrtede sammen pga. anbragt sprængstof i bygningen, at Pentagon ikke blev ramt af en flyvemaskine, men af et missil osv. der i ‘hardcore’-konspirationsudgaven bruges som argument for, at den amerikanske regering helt eller delvis stod bag angrebene.
Der er også mere politiske analyser, der argumenterer for forhåndsviden i dele af magtapparatet, som så lod angrebene finde sted for at legitimere en ny agressiv indenrigs- og udenrigspolitik.
Vi har her samlet lidt af debatten med baggrund, analyser, aktuelle kommentarer og polemik, et udvalg præget af skepsis over for “konspirations-folket”!

“Umiddelbart efter angrebet opstod en græsrodsbevægelse, der har døbt sig selv Sandhedsbevægelsen eller The Truth Movement. Bevægelsen har i tidens løb rejst mange spekulative påstande og teorier … Der sættes også fokus på, hvilke metoder og mål den danske Sandhedsbevægelse har, og hvad konsekvenserne er af disse.”

“På femårsdagen for terrorangrebet mod USA den 11. september 2001 florerer konspirationsteorierne som aldrig før … på et tidspunkt må det være på tide at standse op og erkende en blindgyde og tage fat på noget andet. Fem år er lang tid at underprioritere andre og vigtigere opgaver …”

Niels Henrik Vejen Jespersen: Harrit og ‘konspiranoiaen’ (21. maj 2007)
“Hvorfor tror så mange på tåbelige konspirationsteorier? Det seneste skud på stammen er myten om, at den amerikanske regering selv stod bag angrebet på World Trade Center og Pentagon 11. september 2001. De er parat til at tro, hvad som helst, der får den amerikanske præsident til at fremstå i et negativt lys.”

Niels Harrit: Det syvende tårn (31. marts 2007)
“Hvordan styrtede WTC7 sammen? Vi spørger ikke ‘hvorfor’. Det her er ikke konspirationsteori. Vi har ingen bevisbyrde. Der foreligger nogle observationer af den banaleste karakter, og vi vil gerne have en officiel forklaring, der er forenelig med elementær fysik og kemi ? og almindelig sund fornuft.”

Susanne Thorbek og Morten Thing: Det ny Pearl Harbor (3. december 2005)
“Alle store krige i 1900-tallet begyndte med en løgn. Hitler sendte tyske soldater udklædt som polske ind i Polen. Pearl Harbor var provokeret af Roosevelt, og Vietnam-krigen begyndte med en påstand om, at små vietnamesiske fartøjer angreb amerikanske destroyere. Det giver basis for foruroligende spørgsmål til 11. september.”

Thomas Lemke: Spekulationer fejet af bordet: Brand smadrede World Trade Centers tredje tårn (22. august 2008). Efterfulgt af en længere debat.
“En kleppert af en rapport på 1.000 sider afviser alle konspirationsteorierne om, hvorfor World Trade Centers tredje tårn kollapsede, selv om det ikke var ramt af fly. Brændende stumper fra de andre tårne satte gang i en uset voldsom ildebrand, der fik fundamentet til at smuldre, lyder konklusionen.”

Thomas Lemke: Hvad skete der egentlig den 11. september 2001? (8. september 2006)
“Det officielle USA har skinlagt efterforskningen af begivenhederne 11. september 2001, men for mange skeptikere er sagen langt fra opklaret. Hvor er det fly, der ramte Pentagon, og hvordan styrtede den mystiske bygning 7 sammen? Ingeniøren har set på nogle af de mest sejlivede konspirationsteorier.”

Christian Munch-Petersen: Højhus var et møghus (9. september 2006)
“Fire år efter terrorangrebet på World Trade Center 11. september 2001 foreligger den officielle amerikanske analyse af husets sammenstyrtning. Rapporten viser, at bygningen var meget dårligt sikret mod brand.”

“Five years after the attacks, 9/11 conspiracism has now penetrated deep into the American left … Into the theoretical and strategic void has crept a diffuse, peripatic conspiracist view of the world that tends to locate ruling class devilry not in the crises of capital accumulation, or the falling rate of profit, or inter-imperial competition, but in locale (the Bohemian Grove, Bilderberg, Ditchley, Davos) or supposedly ‘rogue’ agencies, with the CIA still at the head of the list. The 9/11 ‘conspiracy’, or ‘inside job’, is the Summa of all this foolishness.”

“I feel that the extreme version of the 9/11 conspiracy, complete with demolition and Pentagon missile, gives a bad name to conspiracy theory in general … It seems to me, on balance, that the evidence is so weak for this particular conspiracy theory that its popularity calls for a psychological explanation … Even in the case of 9/11, there is what I would call a ‘soft’ version of the conspiracy theory that deserves investigation, and that is the possible role of secret agents who may have infiltrated the al Qaeda plot enough to know what was afoot, but let it happen.”

The Progressive

Matthew Rothschild: Enough of the 9/11 conspiracies, already (September 11, 2006; online at Internet Archive)
“At bottom, the 9/11 conspiracy theories are profoundly irrational and unscientific. It is more than passing strange that progressives, who so revere science on such issues as tobacco, stem cells, evolution, and global warming, are so willing to abandon science and give in to fantasy on the subject of 9/11. The 9/11 conspiracy theories are a cul-de-sac. They lead nowhere. And they aren’t necessary to prove the venality of the Bush Administration. There’s plenty of that proof lying around. We don’t need to make it up.”

Theme: Post 9/11 Conspiracism
“9/11 conspiracy theories on the left suggest that the US government attacked the World Trade Center itself, while on the right some suggest that Jews planned it. Why are these and other conspiracy theories persisting? Five years after the devastating attacks on September 11, 2001, conspiracy theories about the causes and culprits continue to spread. PRA Researcher Chip Berlet offers a roundup of what and why.”

Scholars for 9/11 Truth

Scholars for 9/11 Truth: “The World Trade Center was almost certainly brought down by controlled demolitions and the available relevant evidence casts grave doubt on the government’s official story about the attack on the Pentagon.

“On the 5th anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center, Phil Molé takes a look at the ‘9/11 Truth Movement’ and shares with us his experience attending a weekend conference held in Chicago, organized by 911truth.org.”

Patrick Martin: What the September 11 commission hearings revealed, Part 1-4 (April 22, April 26, April 27 and 1 May 2004)
“The independent commission investigating the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington has held five days of televised public hearings ”¦ The plausible answer is that at some level the US government stood down its defenses deliberately.”

Bill Vann: September 11: after two years, cover-up begins to unravel (11 September 2003)
“Today marks the second anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks ”¦. A myriad of unanswered questions persist about how the most powerful military-intelligence apparatus in the world failed to either detect such a terrorist plot or interfere with it once it was launched.”

Patrick Martin: Was the US government alerted to September 11 attack?, Part 1-4 (16 January, 18 January, 22 January and 24 January 2002)
“This series has reviewed evidence that US intelligence agencies had ample advance information about the September 11 attacks, from specific details of the methods and the likely targets to the identities of a number of the hijackers, including the alleged principal organizer, Mohammed Atta. There are other troubling and unresolved issues, such as the failure to scramble air defense fighters in time to intercept any of the jetliners.”
“Some critics of the left have dubbed serious political arguments as conspiracism, and a sensible response has been issued by the WSWS website” (Chip Berlet)

Bill Weinberg: 9-11 and the New Pearl Harbor (September 1, 2006)
“The mini-industry which has sprung up around 9-11 ‘conspiracy theory’ … has merely replicated the dogmatism of the ‘official version’. Worse, the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled ‘researchers’ is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the ‘official version’. The ostentatiously named ‘Truth movement’ is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.”

McNeill interview with Noam Chomsky (January 31, 2005; online at Chomsky.info)
“On the conspiracy theories about 9/11, I’ll comment, but reluctantly. There are far more important things to be concerned about, and these things can become an awful waste of time. As for the theories, I don’t think they can be taken very seriously. I think they are based on a misunderstanding of the nature of evidence, and also failure to think through the issues clearly.” Scroll down.

Theme: Conspiracy theory debates
“After 9/11 the tremendous flurry of conspiracy reports, discussions, assertions, and explorations led to a few essays on ZNet, by ZNet regulars – and so some in other periodicals as well – assessing the whole approach of conspiracy theorizing. There was some debate as well.”
