MAGAt Attorney Lin Wood Tells Silent Crowd That 9/11 Was a Cover-Up Involving CGI and Missiles

A leading face of the effort to overturn the 2020 election results, attorney and Donald Trump loyalist Lin Wood put a different conspiracy theory forward in a clip going viral on Twitter when he suggested the planes that hit the World Trade Center towers on 9/11 were CGI and a missile was fired at the Pentagon as part of a plot to bring down a building containing financial records of “missing” trillions.

The missing money conspiracy theory is an old saw that the government lost a ton of money somehow, or that it was stolen as Wood put it, and that 9/11 covered it up. In light of the new spending bills before Congress, the idea that anyone would blow up buildings over $3 trillion dollars is practically quaint.

The money was neither stolen nor missing, of course. But Lin Wood took it to the next level anyway, saying that it was “a missile” that hit the Pentagon and suggesting the planes that hit the towers were computer graphics.

“Let’s talk about CGI—computer graphics generated images. You know what CGI is? You know what deep fake videos are? I know you know what Photoshopping is,” Wood said at a rally in Georgia on Friday.

On 9/10/2001, Rumsfield announced that the Pentagon had 'lost track' of 2.3 Trillion Dollars. But the next day, that was all forgotten.



Americans (and I'm one) are so easily manipulated.

This is a very good read (about how much Americans are ripped off - daily)

All sorts of MIHOP stuff was posted. It was a good day when all that was sent away to its current spot in “creative speculation”

There are almost no conspiracies that I believe in, but wackadoos make me laugh. Remember Spooked911?

This was proposed - and thoroughly debunked - not too long after 9/11
