One, I know I'm throwing out some wild speculation and I'm open to the possibility that my guess is wrong. Two, read Niccolo Machiavelli's take on conspiracies. It isn't that conspiracies can't happen, but that the larger they get the more precarious the position of each ever increasing "member" of the conspiracy. In this case it could have been a casual conversation amongst Kobe and 2-3 other teammates, all of whom have similar interests in the matter and all of whom face the same risks and possibles rewards. In order to carry out the conspiracy those 3-4 players just had to try a little less hard. Difficult to prove that a player tried a little less hard than you thought they could have.
If you'd like me to break down 1/1000 of what would have been required to fake the 9/11 attacks you'll see it would be infinitely more complex, would have required actions that could be explained in no other way than direct involvement in the attacks and required thousands of people, some of whom gain almost nothing from their participation and would gain much much more by exposing the conspiracy.
The problem with that theory is it doesnt take into account the fact that conspiracy theories and the people who talk about them, are publicly shunned and ridiculed., and automatically discredited from the start. Which makes it awfully hard for anyone to come forward, or for any story to gain momentum. And when you are talking about one that would involve the most powerful people in the world, I dont find it hard to believe that people can be silenced if they did try.
I also dont think the 911 event would take as many people as you think. All it takes is the people at the top to give orders for people to shut up about certain things. And even those people may only have a couple pieces of knowledge that doesnt prove anything. When it comes down to it, most people will just try to save themselves. If they are worried about their job and family
Look at the Penn St case for example. A lot of people there knew what was going on, but decided to keep quiet for the sake of their own preservation. And that's even when it involved childrens lives being destroyed. That mess went on for years before it hit daylight.
Anyways, I dont really care to argue about 911. It already been made up in the minds of most americans what happened that day regardless if any rational argument can be made for the case of a conspiracy. The only way a healthy conversation can even be had about it is if the main stream media says its ok. Which is just sad that people will only believe what the main stream media tells them, even though it is widely known that these media companies are all owned by just a few people. So I guess we all can only believe what a small group of people want us to believe. Hell, it isnt even hard for them to keep it that way either when they have the power of societal pressure on their side. Right? I mean, you can disagree with all that I just said except the part about how its not cool to talk about this stuff. Right? Thats my point right there. No one can even be heard or taken seriously if they bring up something like 911. So that right there provides fertile soil for would be conspirators to do whatever they want, for they know it will be easy to get away with because society wouldnt dare discuss it on a big stage or even small ones. In fact the bigger the conspiracy and harder to believe it could happen, probably the easier it is to get away with.
The thing is too about discussing 911, is that the only argument the other side ever has is.... people cant keep secrets.... blahhhh... pretty weak really. Its just like pulling the race card. It doesnt even have to have merit to work, because it works every time.
