Bullcrap !! That workforce is going to know the basics of what the project is doing. They will know if they are building a dam, an airplane, a high-rise building, a ship, a canal, etc. And a huge workforce would be required to rig the WTC for implosion. A 9-11 conspiracy by the US gov't, rigged to look like kamakize Muslims, would require thousands of operatives. No conspiracy that requires that many operatives over that length of time would ever get off the ground.

I believe that govts. withhold information and failing to divulge 100% of every situation. I don't believe however, there are grandiose plans hatched from within the walls of evil govts. around the globe. Along stevek's lines, I do find it odd there are so many conspiracy theorists making such bold accusations about our govt.(U.S.), but fail to produce regarding other world-wide events...a homeland vendetta of sorts.

For you conspiracy theorists, don't feel bad...it could be in your DNA.

Come on "NO" voters and TRT14

Do you believe that governments tell you the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth? The secrecy of a government itself can be considered a continuous collaboration of thousands of people. I've worked on projects myself that I've never been able to discuss except with close co-workers who participated in the same project at the time of the project all the while surrounded by a huge work force who was unaware of what we were doing.

definition of conspiracy:

from dictionary.com

1. An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.
2. A group of conspirators.
3. Law. An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.
4. A joining or acting together, as if by sinister design: a conspiracy of wind and tide that devastated coastal areas.

Maybe this will help the no voters.

a poll:
Do you believe you and all other humans can absorb knowledge at the same rate and come to the right conclusions, every time?
( I remind you.. some teachers argue that 2+2 DOESN't equal 4 )

I know some humans who can't handle a long traffic light..
And some who are super-pacifist christians who have been beaten
with no resistance ( albeit only one ).
I know humans who can't handle balancing their checkbooks, but expound on cartel economics.
DO you think every human should have influence in every action taken by any one else?

No I do not believe knowledge is aquired at the same rate or the availability to reason is the same for people and secondary to their experiences in life or psychological damge or even inate features to their personality could they be assured of coming the right conclusion.

I think even in one person they are growing developing and in a state of becoming and they will change over a period of years hopefully increasing their abilities but possibly decreasing them if their life is spent not using their mind to become more engaged.
