We have all watched the planes fly into the buildings. We have seen the fires, the damage, the huge clouds of smoke.

How can anyone still be stupid enough to believe the planes and the fires did not bring down the buildings?

Because paranoid people are never satisfied with the obvious explanation of something. No matter how overwhelming the evidence is, they just discount that because of their strong inner feeling that there must be a deeper conspiracy-related explanation.

I also like the idea that many weak willed or weak minded people prefer to think that there is a vast evil conspiracy in control because then at least SOMEONE is in control.

It is shattering to the psyche of many that a small conspiracy of nutjobs can kill three thousand people, so they invent a massive conspiracy and coverup.

‘Only with the help and collusion of the ‘powers that be’ could three thousand Americans be killed in one event.’ they tell themselves, and hopefully they derive some comfort from it.

The truthers have apparently never heard of Occam’s Razor.
It could cut their heads off and they wouldn’t notice.
