    This is not at all a joke.

    Saddam Hussein orchestrated the 9/11 attack.

    This isn’t even funny, please educate yourself.

      Are you conflating Osama Bin Laden with Saddam Hussein, for whom as summarized by wikipedia:

      In 2003, a US-led coalition invaded Iraq, falsely accusing him of developing weapons of mass destruction and of having ties with al-Qaeda.

      Unless you have that evidence the world was looking for I don’t want to spread old, debunked propaganda.

        I mean, as fucked up as random regime change is, at least he wasn’t exactly a good dude? Silver linings and all that.

        Oh please, Obama wasn’t even on the scene when I got the info on Osama, I definitely know the difference.

              I’ll stop referring to sources that could have been altered, when you start providing specifics about who you think deleted what and why?

            Did you miss the mass erase of online data?

            My data is before the mass erase.

            I don’t even trust modern links, they’ve all been tampered with.

              You do realize that reads like you’re off your meds.

              I work in IT. There have definitely been several attacks on the quality of information available to the general public in the last few decades, but none that I would qualify as a singular “the”

              Could you be more specific on which attack (or by whom) you’re referring to?

                  I think they’re a person who’s honestly in a dark place.

                  I think they’re objectively wrong about the ‘Saddam being linked to 9/11’ thing, and I worry that they’ve been a bit lost in their own head a bit.

                  The idea that data was deleted isn’t meritless in the sense that between enshittification and Musk’s tech bros there’s good reason to believe censorship and destruction have occurred recently (and they’re only the latest in a long line of maliciously maligned actors).

                  But I agree that their posts are so ridiculously textbook schizophrenic, that I do wonder if it’s an act. Yet, nonetheless it costs me little to be kind. 😅

                Har har, you’re phunny.

                Some say perfect paranoia is perfect awareness.

                No, I don’t believe there are microphones or cameras hidden in the walls. You think I’m stupid? The microphones and cameras are right here in the tablet I’m holding right now…

                Nothing hidden anymore, it’s right in front of you…

              “Trust me bro.” I too, would love to see this evidence as someone personally touched on multiple fronts by this event.

                  LOL The 9/11 Commission Report? Really?

                  The July 2004 9/11 Commission Report addressed a possible conspiracy between the government of Iraq and al-Qaeda in the September 11 attacks. The report addressed allegations of contacts between al-Qaeda and members of Saddam Hussein’s government and concluded that there was no evidence that such contacts developed into a collaborative relationship, and they did not cooperate to commit terrorist attacks against the United States.[18][97]

                  Maybe check out all the reports on this list, my friend: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein_and_al-Qaeda_link_allegations

                    I don’t trust any information about this subject, even my own info. It’s all very prone to misinformation, propaganda, and general manipulation.

                    But of all sources you’d suggest, Wikipedia?

                    You gotta be shitting me. My sources are between the GAO (Government Accountability Office) and a hefty data dump of early years of Wikileaks.

                    Anyways, yeah I have plenty enough reason to not trust currently available information, it’s all probably been cherry picked and edited to hell and back for the modern narrative.

                    I have much more original information.

      Dafaq? Saddam had nothing to do with it, and a vast majority of the world knew that at the time. That’s why the bullshit WMD story was circulated as an excuse to attack, and still most of the world was dubious at best.
