There is clearly a plane and tall buildings on the can - that's not being conjured by the brain as in pareidolia - but a plane and tall buildings simply are not sufficient ingredients for 9/11.

I think it's more like how there's 1 style of mustache that will forever remind people of Hitler.

What "belief" is it reinforcing? Behind the Aegis Dec 2011 #6

That two commercial airliners took down three NYC skyscrapers. (nt) T S Justly Dec 2011 #9

In what way does it reinforce that belief? Behind the Aegis Dec 2011 #10

So you believe this is some type of psy-ops? If so, by whom? Behind the Aegis Dec 2011 #12

I have to ask....why would they even do something like this? Behind the Aegis Dec 2011 #14
