How photos support your own "reality"

Why do 9/11 deniers see an alternative story in pictures of the attacks? Because we all interpret images according to our biases.

    here's why I'm suspicious and can see the mysterious flash before the plane hits the building

    Well I do harbor pre-existing suspicions that powerful elements in our society could not care less if fellow citizens die for some political agenda they are as follows:

    1) I heard on the radio a few years ago the Tonkin Gulf issue was a fabrication to persuade Americans to support Viet-Nam... It was reaveled this was a complete lie and look at all the Americans who died in that effort 50,000 Americans plus almost 2 million Vietnamese died over a lie!!!Did the perpetrators of the lie ever loose one night of sleep?

    2) Declassification of Operation Northwoods found on wikipedia and other places, and have heard it mentioned briefly here and there on the radio, this is a truly terrifying document, which details cia hijacking planes and doing other nefarious acts to kill americans with the goal to anger our society to go attack Cuba. Kennedy refused to authorize the implemantation, and then he's shot not long afterwards?

    3) Condasleeza explaining " we could not have forseen an airplane used as a weapon"--- HELLO SISTER WWII and kamakazes!!!---- I was instantly insulted, despite her good looks

    4) Several decades ago a b-25 bomber crashed into the empire state building at it burned and never fell plus the wtc was designed to absorb a fully loaded 709 crashing into it.
