    Is the conspiracy that there were a bunch of poor African Americans living in the Pentagon so they shot a missile at it? I really don’t see why they would shoot a missile at the Pentagon, and also have to fake a plane taking off with hundreds of passengers, staff, hijackers etc involved

      The conspiracy is that the Pentagon was undergoing renovations in that wing so everyone was gone, and this was supposedly apart of the Pentagon that houses records for black ops projects that were being investigated in the audit of the missing, what was it, 2.3 trillion?

        They don’t need to fire a missile into the Pentagon to destroy records haha. They would also know that the response to this attack would kill whatever efforts there were to audit their budget.

          I mean it kinda did so I guess your not wrong. They essentially just threw their shoulders up and " I dunno" and that was that. Then post 9/11 created an environment where if you cared about defense budget issues your not a patriot.

            Yep. This was only a decade after the Gulf War, too, so the chances that whoever was concerned about an audit knew exactly what would happen to the budget during a war are 100%.
