Maybe odd, way left of centre arguments, but I suspect articles like these are being circulated as proof of a conspiracy. No time to check the origins of the website, perhaps Rex can comment as it appears to be Canadian.

Yes, Michel Chossudovsky is into conspiracy theories, as is the Centre for Research on Globalization in a big way. Among the articles posted there are those questioning whether al-Qa'ida was really responsible for 9/11, whether the WTC really collapsed because of an aircraft strike, etc. To quote from the blurb from Chossudovsky's book America's War on Terrorism:

In this new and expanded edition of Michel Chossudovsky's 2002 best seller, the author blows away the smokescreen put up by the mainstream media, that 9/11 was an attack on America by "Islamic terrorists". Through meticulous research, the author uncovers a military-intelligence ploy behind the September 11 attacks, and the cover-up and complicity of key members of the Bush Administration.

The expanded edition, which includes twelve new chapters focuses on the use of 9/11 as a pretext for the invasion and illegal occupation of Iraq, the militarisation of justice and law enforcement and the repeal of democracy.

According to Chossudovsky, the "war on terrorism" is a complete fabrication based on the illusion that one man, Osama bin Laden, outwitted the $40 billion-a-year American intelligence apparatus. The "war on terrorism" is a war of conquest. Globalisation is the final march to the "New World Order", dominated by Wall Street and the U.S. military-industrial complex.

September 11, 2001 provides a justification for waging a war without borders. Washington's agenda consists in extending the frontiers of the American Empire to facilitate complete U.S. corporate control, while installing within America the institutions of the Homeland Security State.

'nuff said.
