If you do one day find relevant information, and uncover some goverment conspiracy, what will you have accomplished? Likely the people responsable will never see justice. The lives lost will never be recovered. People already can't even begin to trust the goverment anyway, so why the crusade? No one will feel that this work was good. People who have already let grief run it's course will hate and despise you. You, and those like you will be running for your lives. Is this what you want? Do you want the world to hate you for breaking the bubble, should it actually exist?
I suppose that you have no care for anyone elses feelings, thoughts, or facts, so let me ask you this: What's the point? It's over. Nothing can change that. Most of us know someone who died as a result of 9/11. I have friends that I served with that have died in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. A friend of mine lost her older sister in the WTC attack, and another friend lost her father in the Pentagon attack. People like you are causing more pain, harm, and doing more to hurt these people than you are doing good. Just please stop your stupid crusade. Stop going out of your way to hurt these people.
With all due respect, I find your statements to be very disconcerting. There are numerous victems of 9/11 who have had thier family members killed, many of whom witnessed the events directly and survived, who believe that the government was complicit. Cognative dissonance is the greatest weapon that our government can use against us in order to subvert public dissent and keep us in the dark as to what's going on. It doesn't make any sense that victems wouldn't be interested in evidence of who attacked them unless they truly didn't want to know. And that, in my opinion, is a very dangerous position to be in.
If it's true that the government performed the 9/11 attacks, then it should be obvious why such knowledge is relevant beyond helping people stay in the comfort of self delusion. It's that very state of fear and
ignorance that allows our government to do what they're doing unchecked. We have the power to hold our government officials accountable and we have the civic duty to do so.

The greatest fight that is being fought is that of psychological warfare. Pentagon war planners have admited that 90% of thier battle plans are psychological rather than physical. Edward Bernaise is a poineer in using psychological techniques against mass populations. His clientell include many major news orginizations, multiple presidents, the US army, and many different corperations.
Here's a quote from Bernaise' book "Propaganda"
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the orginized habbits and opinions of the masses is an essential element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of soiciety constitute an invisible government, which is the true ruling power of our government. We are governed, our minds molded, our tasts formed, our ideas sugested largely by men we have never heard of."
Here you can find some inside information on how the news is used to manipulate public opinion for political purposes.
This nonesense that we can't do anything to change what's going on, and the idea that everything the government says is true is conterproductive to preserving the interests of americans as a free people.
