    I guess my main point of confusion is why would they fake two different attacks instead of just faking one attack (the twin towers) and calling it a day. No one cares or even remembers about the Pentagon attack, so why bother shooting a missile at it?

      To get rid of documents and people that were in that section of the Pentagon that was incinerated without risk of whistleblowers or suspicion of they just randomly disappeared a bunch of files and employees

        I thought there was basically no-one in that section of the pentagon when it was hit, it was undergoing renovations or something. And you don’t need a missile to destroy documents

        What whistleblowers and files were they trying to destroy? I thought the false flag was to get the public on board with invading Afghanistan and Iraq. What were the whistleblowers whistleblowing about?

          the most plausible explanation I’ve heard is that the dod office of the inspector general was conducting a huge multi-year audit effort to untangle literally trillions of dollars of unaudited defense spending, and that the computer systems holding the data were located in that part of the building

          ofc the fact checkers are out in force giving ten pinocchios to all of the conspiracy theorists who don’t have enough common sense to tell the difference between “we don’t know where this money is” and “this money is missing,” lol

            You don’t need a missile to destroy documents. Auditors routinely get owned by “Documents? What documents? You must be mistaken. Those documents never existed my dude.” and “Oops, Bob the intern accidentally shredded those documents. And those documents. And coincidentally every single document that would incriminate us.” We’re talking about a government agency that has never once passed an audit lol
