Most likely imo is the perpetrators were involved in some other capacity with the natsec state hence why they were able to slip through so many cracks. Double agents essentially. The taliban and the us go way back so it's not beyond the realm of possibility that the CIA was telling other branches to look the other way on these guys for some unrelated reason. And the attackers used that to their advantage.

The whole thing was basically blowback for covertly backing the overthrow of the socialist gov of Afghanistan back in the 70s and pouring arms into the region to fight a proxy war against the Soviets through the mujahideen (eerily similar to Ukraine actually). It makes sense that the guys slipping through were just another extension of that.

Even if bush did 9/11 which he didnt killing 3000 people isnt even close to his most demonic act, which would be using that attack as justification for launching an unprovoked attack on uninvolved Iraq. Millions of deaths on his hands. Piece of garbage deserves piss bags thrown at him everywhere he goes but instead he gets feted by liberals bc he hands out Werther's just like meemaw used to do.

All the controlled demo stuff is crackpot shit.

Blowback season 4 is probably the single best piece of media you can consume about 9/11 albeit indirectly

not bush individually but american foreign policy. just read osama bin laden letter, it's fairly simple.

Probably not. It was just like Pearl Harbor where they knew something was up but didn't really try to stop it.

Truthers and general 9/11 conspiracy theories have always read to me as american exceptionalism, like you cant conceive another group of people in a different country hate your country so much they would fly a plane into the twin towers.

Whats more likely, the conspiracy or that the people you have been waging genocidal wars against for the last 50 years finally had enough?

Its just a distraction from americans genocidal foriegn policy, I strongly advise you get a grip.

Imo the conspiracy is the conspiracy, if that. America got caught with its pants down and Bush did 911, the planes were holograms, etc. is just there to detract/as cope from the fact that the US had spent the last decade doing nothing but masturbating over the corpse of the USSR.

The United States has NEVER needed a reason to invade another country, they've never met a false flag they didn't love

We know Putin warned Bush two days before the attack: https://www.rt.com/news/468133-putin-warned-bush-911/

I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility to suggest that someone in the Bush administration might have had an idea, and still let it happen (after all, it made a convenient rationale for wars in the Middle East), and in that sense one might say "Bush did 9/11".

However, I don't think the U.S. government was actually directly responsible though.

What was the Saudi involvement about?

Honestly, does it matter? It simply wouldn't of occurred without US imperialism, and was used as a pretext for the continuation of the circumstances that caused it. Bush is to blame whether he knew it was gonna happen or not.

Bush? Nah
Cheney? Probably
At the very least they knew about it and let it happen. There were so many warnings beforehand.

There's a reason why dubya left the game and Dick stayed in

Adding to all other comments, a lot of the suspicious Bush administration's immediate reaction (i.e. PATRIOT act) can be understood as them being always ready for whatever calamity in order to justify either invasion or neoliberal "reforms".

Naomi Klein (liberal) goes into detail in her book (Shock Doctrine) about what she calls "Disaster Capitalism" and how a lot of effort is put into laying down the groundwork, both legally and ideologically, for whenever crises make them possible, besides constantly agitating for chaos which can lead to said crises.

She has a documentary which summarises her book, if you want a peek. You can easily draw parallels between the events she describes and what's happening now in Argentina, Ukraine and Ecuador, among others.

Now, with regards to what motivates this conspiracy theory: it's a patriotic distraction. As US citizen lives are treated by US society as inherently more important, portraying Bush as a traitor is an attractive pitfall to fall into, whitewashing the constant crimes of the US, internally and abroad, as the acts of "a bad president". Even if Bush had personally pushed a button to launch missiles at the WTC, it would not be even remotely close to the social murder caused by his administration, or any other admin before or after.

he was in on it definitely. if you're into following money trails look into the CIA front company "Ace Elevators" (doesn't exist anymore) that got the WTC elevator maintenance contracts instead of Otis Elevators, probably the biggest name in elevators and elevator repair.
if you're into architecture look into the collapse of WTC 7. According to NIST, it collapsed purely from an office fire, and that debris from WTC 1 and 2 nearby only did superficial damage. (Bots who argue it collapsed because of falling debris are figuratively "conspiracy theorists" that go against what the gov says)

If you're into human interest stories there's a LOT of them as well
