Jet Fuel
The 'controlled demolition' theory was concocted by the government to distract us. '9/11 was an inside job' was an inside job!
Title text: The 'controlled demolition' theory was concocted by the government to distract us. '9/11 was an inside job' was an inside job!

[edit] Explanation

This comic is a reference to the already debunked "9/11 Was An Inside Job" theory that the World Trade Center in New York City was blown up by a "controlled demolition". The guy with the weird hair only on the back of his head (balding?) uses the typical argument and Cueball one ups the craziness and of course the balding guy eats it up. The Chemtrails conspiracy theory is a completely different conspiracy theory which says that (exactly as Cueball does) the US Government puts chemicals and mind control agents in jets and airliners to subtly have US citizens ingest the agents.

And the title text (despite the misspelling) is the natural "double down" on a theory which says that the conspiracy theory itself was concocted by the government and was supposed to distract from the truth.

[edit] Transcript

[Two people are having a conversation.]
Person: 9/11 was an inside job! Jet fuel can't burn hot enough to melt steel!
Cueball: Well, remember — jet fuel wasn't the only thing on those planes. They would've also carried tanks full of the mind-control agents airliners use to make chemtrails. Who knows what temperature that stuff burns at!
Person: Whoa. Good point!

Discussion

I always thought it was the aliens trying to sabotage our civilization, but the inside job theory also works. Davidy²²[talk] 08:25, 9 March 2013 (UTC) That's what 'They' want you to think. The 'They' being the aliens who brought you the Wormhole X-Treme episode of Stargate, the Visitors From Down The Street episode of Babylon 5's 'Crusade' spin-off and the whole of the X-Files (pre-retrospectively spun off from the latter, thanks to time-travel technology). 178.105.151.131 06:24, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
