Wild how the roots of 9/11 conspiracy theories actually sprouted *before* the attacks even happened! Remember Bill Cooper? Apparently, he misheard a report about an al-Qaeda interview where they threatened the US.

He twisted it into "the government knows!" or "they're involved!" It's chilling to think how a misinterpreted news story, specifically about a reporter interviewing al-Qaeda's military chief (not Bin Laden himself, and certainly not CNN), can be the tiny seed that grows into a massive, harmful worldview like "9/11 Truth." This whole thing just highlights how quickly fear and distrust can spread, turning a potential intelligence oversight into a full-blown "inside job" narrative.

It really makes you question how much of what we hear gets distorted before it becomes 'truth' for some. The original threat was real, but the interpretation went completely off the rails. #conspiracy #politics #mediahttps://www.wired.com/story/conspiracy-how-9-11… 🔗
