Tracey Griffith on 9/11
After a tragedy like the terrorist attacks of September 11th, people have difficulty in believing the cause of the disaster. Immediately after 9/11, people began forming conspiracies theories about the attacks. Hundreds of websites are dedicated to conspiracy theories, all claiming that 9/11 was not an accident. Some people claim that the government let the attacks happen, while others believe that it was the government that planned the attacks as an excuse to enter war with Iraq. 9/11 through the eyes of a believer of one of these conspiracies might sound like this…
The United States government planned the attacks and blamed Al-Qaeda as an excuse to enter into war with Iraq. The large amount of debris exploding from the sides of the World Trade Center as it fell were not caused by the pressure of the upper floors collapsing. They were caused by the detonations of explosives that had been planted there by the government before the attacks. The Boeing 767 planes were not the cause of the destruction of the twin towers. It was caused by a planned and controlled demolition.
Another popular belief is that the Pentagon was not hit by a commercial jet but by a cruise missile. They believe that United Flight 93 was not brought down by occupants defying terrorists, but a U. S. Air force fighter deliberately brought the plane down. $0$0“Evidence” of these conspiracies are the hole in the wall of the Pentago that was formed by the Boeing 767. It was not large enough. The hole in the building was 75 feet wide while the wingspan of the plane is 125 feet. This might be because the wings of the plane fell off before the plane crashed into the building. But conspiracy theorists and some analysts say that the fact that neither wings nor the tail from the planes were found disproves this theory. Another example of evidence given toward the conspiracies is the statement of a Pentagon employee who supposedly smelled cordite after the attacks, which is used as an explosive in cruise missiles.
Many more odd questions arise in the attack of the Pentagon. According to witnesses, the plane’s wing supposedly hit the ground first and dug into the Earth and the plane hit a lamppost. After analysts examined the site, there seemed to be too little damage at those points for that to be true.
A poll of 1,010 adults in 2006 found that 36% of Americans consider it likely that the government could have played a part in 9/11. The results of another poll taken showed that 50% of people do not believe that the attacks on the World Trade Center were planned by Al-Qaeda.
Many conspiracies were formed right after the attacks of September 11th. Some extreme, and some subtle, and some continue to be formed. Groups flock to you tube to view the entire Loose Change Conspiracy and there is now a website of the same name.
Amber Arnold on JFK
Over 40 years ago, on November 22, 1963 John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated. Kennedy’s assassination is important because it branded the consciousness of the Bill Clinton/ Oliver Stone generation so deeply.
Even though there is a lot of evidence and reams of writing speculating on who really killed the President, there are two things that are certain. Kennedy was definitely killed in Dallas by a high-powered rifle and the guy who possibly killed Kennedy was definitely killed by Jack Ruby in the Dallas jail two days later.
Evidence of varying reliability has linked Oswald to virtually every group that had a reason to want Kennedy dead. In the years before Kennedy’s death, Oswald worked as a radar operator at U-2 spy plane bases, defected to the Soviet Union and married the niece of a KGB colonel. In the fall of 1963, Oswald moved to Dallas where he had FBI contacts, worked at the Texas Book Depository and was accused of killing the president.
The Warren Report, completed in September 1964, with 26 different types of evidence, says that Oswald committed the murder alone.
The President’s autopsy was at Bethesda Naval Hospital; federal agents removed the X-rays of the body from custody of the examining doctors. The X-rays would have been valuable in determining the bullets that hit the President and the shooter’s location.
According to the New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, the Dallas Morning News for November 22 contained a map of the route the President’s motorcade would take through the city that day. The President was supposed to stay on Main Street while passing through Dealey Plaza and would not have passed the Book Depository. The motorcade turned from Main onto Houston and then to Elm Street. This unplanned sharp turn brought the President into Oswald’s sight of death. It also forced his car to slow down to ten miles per hour.
The Cuban’s version of the story tells us that Kennedy was killed by the right wing Cuban exiles in America who felt that the President had sold them out. They felt that the President had gone against them. Kennedy‘s refusal to allow U.S forces to participate in the exile army’s Bay of Pigs invasion, which was instigated and financed by the CIA, left the exiles easy meat for Castro’s air force.
Thousands of the emigrants were killed or imprisoned by the Castro regime, and those escaping or left in America were quite upset. In the aftermath of the Cuban missile crisis, it was believed Kennedy guaranteed the Russians that Cuba would be in return for a withdrawal of Soviet missiles from the island. The Cuban exiles were not consulted. And so, the mystery continues.
Ryan Munthe on Apollo11
In 1963, one of the most famous and historical events in American history occurred when Apollo 11 landed on the Earth’s moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped out onto the moon’s surface wich skyrocketed America and the NASA program to international fame and success. However, after various discrepancies in the film footage, official records, and questionable occurrences during the “live” event across the world, many people have shouted “conspiracy” in the decades after the landing.
Conspiracy theorists have realistic, possible evidence that it made have staged. With all of the issues in the footage and gaps in the records as well as some testimonials from officials from NASA during this time period, the question remains about the “Apollo Hoax.” Most of the evidence comes from the live video of the moon landing. The largest piece of evidence is the location where the landing was filmed. Each Apollo mission that landed on the moon had a similar backdrop, with three distinct mountains. However, the Apollo missions reportedly landed nearly 50 miles apart, and thus the landscape should have been different. More questions were raised after a scene was discovered in Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” with a backdrop identical to the one of moon landing on the official NASA video.
More curious discrepancies surrounding the video surfaced due to the lighting and shadows on the moon in the video. It is thought to be extremely curious that the famous picture of the Lunar Lander, the Moon Rover, and Neil Armstrong is extremely bright without any photo editing, with shadows that are extremely distinct. The moon is very dark on the surface, and not much visible to viewers, according to the Apollo astronauts themselves. Yet, the video and the pictures are very bright, illuminated with dark shadows off to the side and bleak darkness behind them. No stars illuminating the sky. The lighting on Armstrong’s suit is not correct with the horizon of the moon.
One comparison showing the shadows on the Lunar Landing due East, but the shadows on the rocks clearly pointing south. The most curious discrepancy in the broadcast occurred in a small area of Australia in which viewers in one city noticed a suspicious Coke bottle in the right corner of the film. Whether it was a issue during the transmission or a real issue with the faked landing, there was more suspicion that arose. The footage, however, had a delay and many people think that it was quickly cut out for the rest of the world to see.
Some believe that the majority of Apollo missions were faked after some quite confounding photos and evidence from NASA. Space travel interest was beginning to diminish, and some believe that NASA created the disaster in effort to bring public view back into the Apollo missions. On the 13 hour of the 13 day of the 13 Apollo Mission, the oxygen tank exploded, and supposedly the mission was 200,000 miles above the Earth. Photos show blue sky out the window of Apollo 13. If they were really in deep space, it should have shown a dark black color.
If there were any valid reasons to flub the moon landing, the United States had the motive. They needed a distraction from the anti-Vietnam War sentiment, they wanted to win the Space Race, and they needed money to pay off NASA’s debts. It looks like this will continue to stay among the ranks of suspicious conspiracy theories in America.
Yesterday by Allie Hinga
They’re played on oldies stations everyday: music by bands long disbanded, but far from forgotten. Some are long dead, while others live on. But is everything really as it seems? Many once-famed musicians supposedly claimed to be dead are rumored to be alive and well, while others who are supposed to be alive are really dead. The one such conspiracy centers on the popular band, the Beatles, and their bass player, Paul McCartney. He is now the knight known as Sir Paul McCartney. Yet if you believe conspiracy theorists, he is not him.
According to rumors, on Wednesday, November 9, 1966, after an argument with his band mates, McCartney stormed out of the studio just before 5 am and drove off into the stormy night. What happened next is subject to many rumors. One story has McCartney offer a ride to a woman, who grabbed him when she realized who he was, causing him to lose control of the car. The car smashed into another vehicle and caught on fire. McCartney remained trapped in the car, which exploded before firemen could extinguish the blaze.
The body was burned beyond recognition, and dental records proved useless to identify the body, as all of his teeth were knocked out during the crash. One local reporter had been following McCartney’s car, witnessed the entire incident, and returned to write a story for the morning paper. When police realized who the victim was, they phoned Brian Epstein, who bribed the paper into silence and the police who had run the license plate check to determine the identification of the body.
The rest of the Beatles were shocked to hear of Paul’s demise, and at first considered disbanding, but decided to remain together because they were involved in too many contracts. They were presented with the problem of finding a new bass player, and fearing their fans would be upset over his demise, especially because this information wasn’t made public, the group decided to find a Paul look-a-like to replace him.
Under the guise of a “Paul Look- A-Like” competition, judges selected William Campbell, who disappeared just after winning the competition. William underwent plastic surgery to complete his transformation into the new Paul McCartney, the only sign of his former identity a scar from a surgery meant to fatten up his upper lip. Campbell underwent speech therapy so he could mimic Paul’s trademark accent. He also had to learn to mime playing left-handed to further mimic McCartney’s habits.
Though many disbelieve these rumors, fans believe the band left clues in their songs and album covers to secretly inform listeners of Paul’s death. On the Abbey Road album cover, the band members supposedly represent a funeral procession. John is dressed as priest, a barefooted Paul is dressed in a suit and supposedly represents a corpse, Ringo is the undertaker, and George is the grave digger. Another rumor contends that on the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album, using a mirror to bisect the drum yields the phrase “ I one IX he die” which can be decoded to mean “11 9 he die.” Other clues can be decoded by listening to parts of songs backwards, which supposedly contest to McCartney’s death.
The classic “Paul-is-dead” rumor is only one of the many about various artists circling widely among avid fans, and though they may or may not be true, they continue to captivate listeners.
