There’s an arguement that 9/11 was setup in order to provide an excuse for the US to invade the middle east and secure oil reserves.
I personally don’t know how plausible something like that is, but if we genuinely were running short of oil like some commentators suggest, does this make such conspiracy arguements more plausible?
If a country ran short of oil, effects would include:
– Mass unemployment and recession (companies and industries can’t afford the increasing oil/fuel prices and so most have to downsize – leading to a knock-on effect for demand in other sectors).
– 10,000’s of elderly and poor die because they can’t afford to heat their homes in winter due to high energy prices.
– Crime would soar as people sank into poverty.
It all relies on the axiom that we’re running much shorter on oil than we’re being told, but with Bush now investing heavily in alternative & renewable energy, is it not more plausible an arguement than it first seems?
I wouldn’t dare to suggest that sacrificing people in 9/11 is acceptable in anyway, or that this is any more credible than any other explanation given for the events in 2001;
I just question whether the risk of millions losing their jobs, nation-wide economic depression and throngs of people dying through poverty related means would be enough for a government to consider faking 9/11 and securing oil until they had developed suitable alternatives?

INC, Iraqi National Congress is Iraqi dissidents who live outside Iraq. They have been asking our Congress to remove Saddam for more than 10 years. After 1991 Iraq War lot of people within our gov wanted to remove Saddam. In 1998 our official Iraq policy became ‘regime change.’ 9/11 was very small contributor to case for Iraq War 2003 considering case for Iraq War2003 have been building since 1991.
Securing energy source is no secret. Bush said several times in public we can’t let oil ‘fall into hands of Al Quida.’ Obviously leaders don’t like to mention it because the public see it as some how ‘evil’ to secure our energy source, but how the hell are we going to supply energy to people’s cars, house, lawn mowers, weed wackers…etc?
People portray leaders trying to secure oil as some how evil and selfish when it fact this whole thing benefit them with affordable fuel and energy. If it was just the oil Bush is after he wouldn’t be going around making speeches about energy alternatives, new technologies.
9/11 conspiracy isn’t going to be any more plausible if there is or there isn’t oil. 9/11 conspiracy dismiss any inconsistencies as ‘government cover up.’ You can’t falsify 9/11 conspiracy when people say ‘its cover up’ whenever people point at bad logic, bad facts. This oil thing won’t put a dent in this wacky jumble of theories.
Lot of people still believe gov bombed levy in New Orleans during Katrina. Many still believe Oklahoma bombing involved demolition and FBI covered up some evidence. Many still believe gov let Pearl Harbor occur even though they knew about it.
When people can’t find countries, people, entities to blame or can’t find ways to rationalize things they see they sometimes blame it on all too powerful US government.
