We’re all aware that there is an enemy somewhere, and conspiracy theories more often than not can, in-fact, lead to further uncoverings of truth. I think the best example of this is in the dispute over extra-terrestrial life.

In searching for ET, however, we’re not deeming any fellow human social, religious, or cultural groups as “mortal enemies” or making them out to be any less worthy as human beings.

I’ve long believed that conspiracy theories, especially in the 9-11 case, can be more dangerous than beneficial. A video I found on YouTube claims to “prove the demolition of WTC7″ by pointing out incorrect times in terms of collapse reporting. The danger, however, is not in the posting of such claims and ideas itself, but rather in it’s wake, the comments and accusations afterwards.

Comments on websites and videos such as these always include “It was the (expletive) Jews” or “Israel shouldn’t exist and yet we aid them.” The spawn of such postings is not rational discussion and discourse, but rather blind hatred. It is my fear that through such posts, we are creating the doubt and confusion in uninformed and swayable viewers’ minds in which hate groups, dangerous propaganda, and other vile information can filter in.

I don’t have a side or thought on to whether or not 9-11 was a hoax. However, the spread of the resulting commentary hatred and propaganda MUST BE STOPPED at all costs. I liken it to the old shortwave radio, where Russian and Nazi propaganda spewed across the air and attempted to brainwash listeners into believing an unacceptable agenda. That is the real tragedy to come out of all of this. We could in fact be feeding the evil while trying to prove wild claims when maybe the situation ought to just be let go. We would be doing no justice to the 3,000+ who died if we fuel further atrocities.
