Among the other theories is the one that states that 'the Bush administration was directly involved in the events of 9-11'. For example, there are theories about 'robot piloted planes' and 'explosives planted in the buildings'. Critics of these theories, which I will call 'active conspiracy theories' have pointed out that it is just about impossible to keep secret a conspiracy of this magnitude in a place like Washington, D.C., and this is a powerful argument. Look, the Bush administration can't even keep their so called 'secret' oil meetings a secret, or their so called 'secret' Iraq war planning meetings a secret, and as for their awesome success in plotting and carrying off the 9-11 attacks and keeping that a secret, well it seems damned unlikely, does it not.
Another theory holds that the Bush administration was 'grossly incompetent.' Despite getting clue after clue and indication after indication that 9-11 was about to happen, they did nothing, and then what was predicted to happen did in fact happen. What this theory has going for it is that the Bush administration has been stubbornly stonewalling and blocking every attempt to investigate 9-11, which clearly indicates that they do have something to hide. We know that they repeatedly went to the leader of the House and asked that no investigation be made into 9-11 (another one of those 'secrets' that they just could not keep under wraps). When they finally did cave in under the mounting pressure it was only to have another one of those Bush appointed commissions look into the matter, with the first proposal being that Kissinger should check it all out, until an outcry from the 9-11 families forced the administration to back down and pick someone else.
Now as for what the admistration would want so desperately to hide, and why we are now being treated to Roasted CIA Agents...We know that Bush's August 6th briefing was titled 'Bin Laden determined to strike United States.'The FBI threat assessment narrowed the threat to airplanes
Bush was surrounded by anti aircraft guns at the Genoa g-8 summit, and spent the evenings on the U.S.S. Enterprise a few months before 9-11, a navy ship bristling with anti-aircraft guns, the airport at Genoa was shut down, and all air travel cancelled, with a no fly zone established over Genoa. since the international intelligence community received info that indicated that Bin Laden was planning to use a suicide jet liner as flying bomb to assassinate Bush at Genoa
Other inconvenient facts have come out, including that bit about how the Egyptians and then the Germans were contacting Washington and warning them about terrorism and hijackers, and the intelligence they were passing on indicated that something was imminent.
Another theory, which has always been the most convincing to me, is that what we had here was a 'passive conspiracy'. This type of passive conspiracy is just as hard to keep a secret as an active conspiracy, as all the leaks would prove, but it would power up the extreme right and make all sorts of right wing dreams of global domination come true. For example, we know that in the document 'Rebuilding America's Defenses' which was written by the Project for the New American Century, an extreme right wing think tank whose members are now in powerful positions in the Bush administration, it stated that the goal of achieving American domination of the planet would be difficult, if not next to impossible, absent another Pearl Harbor type attack. This was remarkably insightful, in hindsight, especially given how all the most hawkish members of the administration just cannot stop mentioning 9-11 every time they are promoting some new form of right wing extremism. So one could easily imagine these hawks sitting on their thumbs and doing nothing while waiting for the inevitable to happen on 9-11, thus making that project of theirs, not only possible, but actually easy to accomplish. Of course the leaks aren't easy to deal with, but a Lord Hutton style inquiry that roasts the CIA might pull some irons out of the fire...
I have always found it impossible to accept that the administration could possibly be so imcompent as to allow 9-11 to happen, by completing bungling everything and fumbling the ball. After all, checking passengers at airports would have been more than enough to prevent and even deter the 9-11 hijackers. For this reason a 'passive conspiracy' always seemed to me the most plausible explantion for what happened. However there is one more theory that could very well explain the events of 9-11, and which has just occurred to me over the last week or so. 9-11, which was preventable, happened nevertheless because of the power and influence of corporate special interest groups combined with the supine compliance and subservience of the modern day politician.
Corporate special interest groups are some of the most suicidal self destructive entities on earth. This pattern repeats itself again and again and again. It is said that under the law the Corporation is 'a person', and a psychologist decided to do an analysis to find out just what kind of a person a corporation would be, and came up with a diagnosis of 'a psychopath'. Put it all together and you find that a plausible explantion for 9-11 is not that it was an intelligence failure, to be blamed on Tenet and the CIA, but rather the 'national failure' was caused by the Corporation, a suicidal, self destructive sociopathic psychopath.
Callous unconcern for the feelings of others.The behavior patterns of corporate special interest groups confirm this diagnosis. Consider certain recent examples. Last October, a bill was before the House to mandate testing for Mad Cow Disease. This would cost pennies a pound. Of course, the Cow Corporations, having that corporate psychopathic personality disorder, screamed bloody murder about those few cents, and the bill was consequently killed on the floor. Looking back on it now, you can see how that Cow industry lost a lot more than a few cents on that deal. Up here in Canada millions and millions are being spent on bailing out the cow ranchers, and when you include all the lost export markets, the grand total of losses could reach billions and billions of dollars. Being suicidal and congenitally stupid, the power Cow Special Interest Group, after insisting on saving those few cents, is now probably seeing things differently, and up here, for the first time, you actually sometimes even here talk about spending that few cents, although at the same time the Cow Lobby cannot ditch that collective sociopathic personality disorder that afflicts any large modern corporation, and so at the same time you still here lots of bitching about those few cents, and how they just shouldn't have to pay that few cents, even now, when they are losing millions and billions as a consequence of pocketing that few cents in the past.
Incapacity to maintain enduring relationships.
Reckless disregard for the safety of others.
Decietfulness: repeated lying and conning of others for profit.
Incapacity to experience guilt.
Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors.

Another good example of showing reckless disregard for the safety of others and doing just about anything for a profit can be seen when we consider the now ongoing fiasco caused by the International Chicken industry. For years the large Argibusiness Corporation has been treating chickens just the way you would expect a psychopath to treat chickens, or anything else on the planet for that matter. Those chickens are crammed beak to beak in large chicken factories. Each chicken gets about enough space to stand up in. This overcrowding is a book keepers idea of how to run a chicken farm, in that if you cram those chickens in like sardines you maximize your profit per square foot of real estate. In order to keep the frustrated chickens from pecking each other to death, they have their beaks cut off, without anesthetics, of course, because the cost of that anesthetic would take pennies off of the profit of each chicken. The chicken house becomes very unsanitary and chickens often get foot wounds and infections, while the stress causes some chickens to wander about bald headed on top and half feathered on the bottom. The over crowding and the unsanitary conditions combined with the stress, which reduces the effectiveness of the immune system, all combine to leave the chickens open to a wide variety of diseases, and so the only way to keep chickens alive long enough to be sent to market, the modern chicken is kept on a constant regimen of medications and antibiotics. With hindsight, it can be seen that the modern day, multi-billion dollar, multination chicken corporations have persistently abused the power of modern science only in the end to wind up unleashing a frankenstein on the planet. Here I am talking about that super bug, an extremely lethal virus that has emerged from the chicken house. Of course, after stewing for years in that soup of overprescribed antibiotics, which are required if that psychopathic book keepers version of a hen house is to be profitable, only the most powerfully virulent virus will be able to run that marathon and eventually emerge from that corporate hen house as the candidate for the next killer pandemic. Once again, the corporate special interest turns out to be incredibly short sighted and stupid, in that all those cost savings they realized by raising chickens in unsanitary and unhealthy conditions, is now being taken out of their hides to the tune of billions of dollars. The most deadly form of this chicken flu has now just been found in a Texas chicken factory, and so countries around the world are now cancelling orders for American chickens and American eggs, so the multi-billion dollar losses for the Chicken Corporations has just begun.
Now all corporations are psychopaths, and they all do what should not be done, to save a dime, only to lose a dollar tomorrow. This is the repeating pattern. And all modern politicians aren't all that smart, in that they cater to those corporations. No legislation is passed unless it is first run past those special interest groups who then craft that legislation to their liking, which is another way of saying they gut the legislation. All one needs to do is to look at the so called 'mad cow policy', which is basically that there is no mad cow policy, and you can see the results of special interests expressed in the form of constantly gutted regulations and legislation.
And this brings us back to our discussion of the role played by special interest groups in allowing the 9-11 incident to transpire. For you see, politicians are not 'incompetent', according to this new theory of mine, but they are supine and subservient, even when it is a real bad idea, and in the end will cost that brainless corporation a real fortune. They just cannot stand up to that psychopathic corporation so instead that allow those reckless things to run amock, until finally the predictable, the inevitable happens and they bring the roof down on their heads and it costs them a bloody fortune. And just where were the savings. They will do this, even when it shows a reckless disregard for the safety of others, for, keep this in mind, the corporate special interest is, after all, a psychopath, and that is what psychopaths do...
So given all this history, and just knowing the way things are, one can very easily imagine the following scenario, and find it all quite credible and believable as well. So the Bush administration gets all that intelligence about hijackings and terrorism. So, this being the Bush Admistration, after all, although a Democrat would have done the same damn thing, naturally they call up the Airplane special interest group, because since when does a politican do anything at all without first checking with those corporations?
And of course, the Airplane Corporations, being a bunch of reckless psychopaths, with no concerns for the safety of others, and real devious when it comes to making a buck, were just adamant that they were not going to pay to check people getting onto planes. Just like the Beef Corporations, who were not going to spend that couple of cents for mad cow testing, those Airplane Corporations were not going to spend that buck a ticket, or whatever else it might have costed, to screen people getting onto airplanes. No. And like the cow industry they would then tell lies and be real decietful about how safe everything was just they way it was, even though it wasn't safe at all, and politicians always make the laws that are written for them by special interest groups (recall Dick Cheney meeting with all those Psychopathic Oil Corporations to draw up the nations 'energy policy'). It then just logically follows that the administration did nothing, and just went along with those Airplane special interests when they piled on the bullshit real heavy about they need not spend that extra buck a ticket when everything was just fine already, so why bother.
And of course, the cows had mad cow, and the over medicated chickens, after abusing all those over prescribed antibiotics unleashed the inevtiable frankenstein super-virus, the north pole continues to shrink and melt away, while down in South America they have about twenty years of glacier left (the only source of drinking water for millions of people) and 9-11 just went ahead and happened as it was predicted it would happen. The beef industry lost billions, and is still losing, and the chicken industry is now losing billions and will lose still more, they won't be driving SUVs in those flooded coastal cities, and the airline industry really had a tough time making ends meet after 9-11, but fortunately the psychopathic corporation won't take the blame, and certainly the politicians are doing everything they can to avoid getting blamed for that thing, and so I suppose they can make a goat out of the CIA
This new theory is just powerfully credible to me...things like this just happen all the time, and will continue to happen, as long the world stays pretty much the way it is today...
