Less than a week ago was the six year anniversary of the attacks on Septemeber 11, 2001. 

Then, I was a naive little eighth grader going to a predominately "red" school, and chose to support the GOP to fit in.  I waved American flags and sang along to every Toby Keith song imaginable. 

 In high school, I started hanging out with those "kids" who were rebellious and had "ideas of their own."  It was during that time that I was introduced to some rather interesting conspiracy theories of that fated day.

Now, out of high school and well on my way to college, pursuing political journalism, I have a clearer understanding of this war.

September 11th has been officially dubbed "Patriot Day," but as some of us may recall, that day showed anything but patriotism, and instead the horror of terrorism.  However, these attacks were not necessarily those by the Taliban (there's a bunch we haven't heard about in a while), as we have been lead to believe by Fox News, but by those within our our sacred government.  Now, six years later, we know that Bush knew about the attacks well in advance but never took them seriously.

I know a lot of you reading this are already planning on spraypainting the word "terrorist" on my garage door after reading this.  COMMUNICATING these so-called "conspiracy theories" does NOT undermine the lives that were lost in the Twin Towers. We are undermining them by NOT asking questions. By just believing this terrorist conspiracy hoax our government placed in our laps just to save face.

9/11 was merely just a well-planned gimmick to get American support of a war.  We were initially chasing Bin Laden, so why are we in Iraq?  Why the sudden itinerary change? 

It has nothing to do with a war on terrorism. This isn't a war on terrorism. It's a war FOR oil. It's a cheap conspiracy put on by our own government to get our approval of this war. Don't believe me? Show me a black box from the planes that crashed. How about any remains from Flight 93, the plane that was supposedly aimed for the white house? Show me ANYTHING that was found.

Show me where the plane hit the Pentagon, because a 747 JET did not crash into that little hole on the side of the Pentagon. Just to prove my point more, why was every single person inside in a meeting on the other side of the building, coincidently?

Everything added together is too suspicious to believe.

Interesting perspective, Mitchell.
