Here's my favourite conspiracy theory:
Actually I've just made it up; and since it was me who made it up, that's why it's my favourite.
Osama Bin Laden couldn't possibly have done 9/11, because given that the Bin Ladens are firm friends of the Bushes and were in America at the time, that proves Osama Bin Laden was having breakfast with Bush on the morning of 9/11, which proves he couldn't possibly have masterminded the operation.
Bush could've though. Perhaps he has a special cornflake code. His White House aides perhaps look at him eating, and if he tips some cornflakes off his spoon three consecutive times before taking mouthfuls, it means attack America this morning. If he stops eating before his bowl's empty, maybe it means, "No, no, stop the attacks; I've changed my mind." Maybe on the morning of September 11, Bush gave the code for attack, and then the code for stop attacking;
but it was too late; his aides had rushed off to do his bidding and could no longer be contacted. So he tearfully confided in Osama Bin Laden, who kindly agreed to take responsibility for the attacks for Bush, so Bush wouldn't look bad.
Surely that's got to be one of the best.

Let's see... a call out thread based on what is probably a "work" that makes light of a fact that anyone should be concerned about.
It was George Sr. who was meeting with the Carlyle Group, including Bin Laden's brother, on the morning of 9/11.
That, of course, is what is referred to around here as a "coincidence".

Despite all the conspiracy theories I've just boldly made up, I feel compelled to admit that I am in fact fairly ignorant of Bush's dealings with the Bin Ladens and what the government officials were doing with them, except that I once watched a television programme that theorised that Osama Bin Laden is to this very day hiding out in Bush's house. (Well, it was a comedy programme). They went to his house to have a look, but security refused to let them in, which is of course absolute proof that Bin Laden was there.
Um ... oh yes. Notwithstanding my long-winded and totally irrelevant preamble, the point of my post is actually to ask ...
Who are the Carlyle Group?
No one answered that question; but with the intense and extensive scrutiny I generally subject the things I'm interested in to, I discovered the answer myself. Or should I say,
deduced it. A very interesting finding it was too!
A couple of hundred years ago, the famous ... whoever he was, Thomas Carlyle, said:
A person usually has two reasons for doing something: a good reason and the real reason.
That was the only clue I needed!
From that, I deduce that the Carlyle Group is a group of spin doctors, probably hired out by people like the American government, to invent "good reasons" for the things they do for them, when they don't want the public to know the real reasons they're doing them.
This makes absolute perfect sense in the context of my cornflake conspiracy theory, and thus it just must be true!
What quite obviously happened was that the Carlyle Group were called in on the very day of 9/11, to invent a "good reason" why the attacks happened. I mean, Bush couldn't possibly have gone to the American public and said,
America attacked itself today. And I'm sorry; it was all my fault. I meant my government to make America attack itself on a different day altogether, but due to a mix-up with a code and some cornflakes, I accidentally gave the order today. I wanted my government to attack America because we want to launch an entirely unprovoked war in the Middle East to create American jobs in the construction industries over there rebuilding what we destroy, and so we can take control of their oil companies. We had to attack America and then blame it on the Middle Easterners to ensure your support for our wars, because they wouldn't have got mass support otherwise.
Bush couldn't possibly have said that. So it's obvious to me now that he called in the Carlyle-loving Carlyle Group, to manufacture a good reason for his behaviour.
Never trust poets. Or whatever Thomas Carlyle was. In fact, perhaps they should even be treated as war criminals.
