Or at least events commonly considered in the bourgeois media to be "conspiracy theories." Personally, I believe that Joseph Stalin was assassinated in 1953 by the Khrushchev clique to ensure their rise to power.

The thing that hit the pentagon on 9/11 was not a plane, but a missile. 9/11 was completely an inside job

I've never understood the missile part of that theory. Why wouldn't a plane be easier to pull off?

idk if you were the CIA/military then firing the act of firing missile would be easier than executing a successful hijacking and crash into the pentagon, if you didn't care about the cover-up

The main evidence for the missile theory is the lack of plane-like debris and the frames missing from the surveillance videos from across the street, and in the available footage its not entirely clear that the object striking the pentagon is a plane

Personally I agree that overall the plane would be easier if the cover-up is included: having to fake a flight and dealing with all the victims would make it easier to actually hijack and crash a plane

Regardless I think their is something suspicious with the pentagon attack specifically: the turn the supposed hijacker (who was apparently the worst pilot out of a group of terrible pilots) executed just before the crash is apparently a very difficult manoeuvre to pull of that even experienced pilots would have difficulty performing, and that the plane(or whatever) crashed into a large area of the pentagon that was undergoing renovation at the time and was practically unoccupied https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_77#Crash this section of the wikipedia article as a description of the turn and the alliable video(which on watching for the first time in years I can definitely see how people lean into the missile theory even)
