I used to work with someone, when I lived in Europe during the Cold War, who did something very similar to exactly what Eliezer has described.
I doubt that it was done for 9/11, as it doesn’t seem to fit with the profile of what/when/where they would use this sort of counter-intelligence, but the theory behind it is absolutely founded.
Usually, it was so that everyone would be looking east when something very wrong was going to be happening in the west. Every time I hear about the Dancing lights in the sky that are claimed by the ignorant to be UFOs, yet the military says “No, those were just Hi-MAT (Highly Maneuverable and And Tactical) flares” (I’m pretty sure they changed the names since 1986) I believe that they were flares… But, I wonder… “What was on the opposite side of the sky that they wanted everyone looking at the flares for?”
It is amazing some of the things that they do in Mil-Intelligence and that spooks get up to (course, spooks have really been trying to get back in the game since the end of the Cold War...). So, as my own contribution to the meta-conspiracy:
It was all CIA spooks who were doing a budget op in order to get themselves re-funded after loosing most of their funding at the end of the Cold War. They knew all about the High-Jackers, and even covertly arranged to get them into the country so that they could go to flight school…
I could go on, as I so love a good conspiracy tale… There should be a whole genre of fiction based upon conspiracies (I don’t mean as real conspiracies, but stuff that most sane people would know is based on a conspiracy theory… The nuts are going to think everything is a conspiracy anyway)...
