What would be the motive of this conspiracy?
How many people would be involved in this seemingly well planned event?
George Bush justified the invasion of Iraq with 9/11. In his "mission accomplished" speech aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, on May 1, 2003, 3 months after the invasion of Iraq, he said:"absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor."
There is one problem: Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. But Bush kept linking the two and everyone was willing to trust him."We have not forgotten the victims of September the 11th, the last phone calls, the cold murder of children, the searches in the rubble. With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States, and war is what they got."
The best predictor of belief in a conspiracy theory is belief in other conspiracy theories, says Viren Swami, a psychology professor who studies conspiracy belief at the University of Westminster in England. Psychologists say thats because a conspiracy theory isnt so much a response to a single event as it is an expression of an overarching worldview.

Aww not this again...
So this guy is in one one of the biggest conspiracies of the millennium, yet makes the mistake of talking about it on live TV.
Worst. Conspiracy. Ever.
Conspiracy theorists often seem to fit into one of a couple of categories. One, it seems, is a person who sees how unjust the world is and seeks answers for why bad things happen and why bad people often succeed while good people fail. As a coping mechanism - rather than accept a cold, uncaring, unpredictable world - they theorize nefarious actors pulling strings and causing the awful things we can't rationalize. Another, similar one, is someone who doesn't feel in control of their destiny and as a remedy to their feelings of powerless inadequacy, they boost their ego with ideas that they have wisdom and insight greater than the masses of "sheeple" who have fallen for the lies of the ones running things.
More psychobabble which is nothing more than a dodge to once again avoid the facts, like you know, the OP. No one cares about your armchair analysis of anyone who doesn't accept the official story. If anything the real candidates for psychoanalysis are those who keep denying the facts and what their eyes can see in order to preserve their more comforting view of the world.
Now that you mention it, the documentary Experts Speak Out on 9/11 did a segment on just that, interviewing professional psychologists explaining why people have such a block about looking at the facts of 9/11.
Please watch and discuss:

We've looked at your "facts." We've been looking at them for over a decade. They're unconvincing because time after time, mistruths, faulty logic, and enormous jumps to conclusions. You've simply failed, time and time again, to present a compelling case. For those of you who made your mind up that it was a conspiracy before seeing the facts, it's easy to find tidbits that seem to fit within your narrative, allowing you to "connect the dots" and convince yourself it was the logical conclusion. But it isn't. There's simply a lack of solid evidence implicating a conspiracy.
Yes, the Fox News reporter thought he was mocking "conspiracy theories," so I guess he didn't know that buildings don't come pre-wired either."Shortly before the building collapsed, several NYPD officers and Con-Edison workers told me that Larry Silverstein, the property developer of One World Financial Center was on the phone with his insurance carrier to see if they would authorize the controlled demolition of the building – since its foundation was already unstable and expected to fall."
Who is "we?" You and your sock puppet buddy?Did you look at the fact that Silverstein knew the towers were wired and skyscrapers do not come with demo charges planted in them just in case something hits it or it catches fire?
So how did he know WTC was wired to implode? Why did the Fox News reporter even verify this fact:

You say you've "looked at the facts" yet keep ignoring even this simple one. So look at the facts.
Don't go off on a long diatribe. Focus your attention on just this question (remember, the firefighters had been ordered out 6 hours before.) All you do when you ignore the question is convince more people that the official story is false. Americans aren't as dumb as you think, and can see through you. They think: "That's all interesting about conspiracy theorists, but he didn't answer the question again."

See, this was exactly what I meant when I said trutherism is based on ridiculous jumps to conclusions. The property manager, seeing that the foundation was damaged beyond repair, sought permission from insurers for a controlled demolition. You thus conclude that the building already had explosives wired in. Despite the author of the article stating that he was there and that there were no sounds of explosions, nor did the building's collapse occur as a controlled demolition would. No one knew, at the time, if the building would collapse very quickly, as it did, or if it would remain standing for some time in a weakened state. It would be prudent in such a situation to get approval for a demolition so that as soon as workers could safely enter, work could be done to bring the building down in a controlled manner.
So "trutherism" is pointing out that a skycraper cannot be prepped and wired for demolition in a few hours? Duh. It takes weeks if not months.

interesting. does he say anything else about it or do u have more information?
Then it's a matter of finding little supposed 'factoids' that try and make the evidence fit the conclusion.
