Jordan Klepper Fingers the Conspiracy - A New Podcast From The Daily Show Jordan Klepper has heard a lot of 9/11 conspiracy theories at Trump rallies, including this shiny emerald: Osama bin Laden was a CIA operative named Tim Ossman. Together with Dr. Joan Donovan, research director of Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, and Korey Rowe, co-producer of “Loose Change,” Jordan unpacks how the early days of the internet and social media have shaped 9/11 conspiracy theories that are still popping up in more places than rallies two decades later, and they discuss how the right wing has weaponized conspiracy theories for political gain and what conversations we should be having about the role of the media. #DailyShow #JordanKlepper
The entire video is at the bottom of the page and I did view all of it, but this summary is pretty much what I am responding to, so here goes...
Trump rallies, huh? So, conspiracy theories are right wing now, are they? The current powers that be are seemingly trying to push this idea, but even their very own academic research has an extraordinarily hard time doing so and despite many feats of mental gymnastics in the end they still have to admit...
"We find little difference in conspiracy theorizing between the right and left."
The 9/11 truth movement has always been an abnormally bi-partisan movement, perhaps because there is truth there for all to find!?!?
The 9/11 truth movement encompasses a disparate group of adherents to a set of overlapping conspiracy theories that dispute the general consensus of the September 11 attacks...

David Slesinger Interviews Howard Zinn About the 9/11 Truth Movement
That being said, it has been acknowledged for a very long time that there is opposition to 9/11 conspiracy theories by the left, but the right wing has had its fair share of gatekeepers too. It is arguable that more right wing individuals changed their tune over time once they came into contact with new information...

“So, it’s not a matter of falling for crazy theories,” said Carlson, “it’s a matter of letting the evidence guide your perceptions, okay?” He went on to state: “If you go on TV tonight and say I think the earth is flat, people will just laugh at you. They don’t care if you think the earth is flat. It’s not a threat to anyone. “But if you say, like…’what actually happened with Building 7? That is weird, right? What is that?’ If you were to say something like that on television, they’d flip out. They would flip out. You would lose your job over that.”
Speaking of Alex Jones, in the below video Korey Rowe of Loose Change fame also proves that left wingers are a big contingent of 9/11 truth advocates with his criticism of Jones. Regarding Jones, much disfo was spewed by all in the video, so here is some truth...

Proof that Osama bin Laden Was CIA and Died in 2001 — Bush – Laden – CIA Connections
Economics Professor Michel Chossudovsky of the University of Ottawa has just completed a detailed history of bin Laden’s career detailing his secret funding and logistical support to terrorist organizations beginning from his early CIA-supported roots in the 1980s as a “freedom fighter” through to the present day. Tim Osman (Ossman) has become better known as Osama Bin Laden. “Tim Osman” was the name assigned to him by the CIA for his tour of the U.S. and U.S. military bases, in search of political support and armaments. […] There is some evidence that Tim Osman … visited the White House. There is certainty that Tim Osman toured some U.S. military bases, even receiving special demonstrations of the latest equipment. Why hasn’t this been reported in the major media?...

But again this very well may be disinformation, as there are much more solid facts regarding Osama's and his minions connections to the CIA.
But again this very well may be disinformation, as there are much more solid facts regarding Osama's and his minions connections to the CIA.
First off, this bears repeating...
Many people subconsciously make the mistake of only seeing the issues concerning 9/11 in black and white, as opposed to shades of gray. This is known as the black-or-white fallacy. In this case, the false dilemma is: 9/11 was either carried out by Al-Qaeda or it was "an inside job."Just because the evidence suggests that rogue elements of the US government and intelligence apparatus, as well as other international intelligence agencies, were involved, doesn't mean bin Laden and Al-Qaeda hijackers weren't involved.
In the fight to uncover the truth about 9/11 we must contend with individuals and groups that distort, omit and lie about important details in order to defend the official narrative - the 911 truth debunkers.
The NORAD-stand-down, various whistleblowers ("debunkers" just assert they are all confused lying with no basis), and peer-reviewed studies of the physical evidence centered around the destruction of the 3 World Trade Center Buildings in New York, make a strong case that the attacks involved substantial inside help.
“I think it’s implausible to believe that 19 people, most of whom didn’t speak English, most of whom had never been in the United States before, many didn’t have a high school education, could have carried out such a complicated task without some support from within the United States” - Former DEMOCRAT Sen. Bob Graham on 60-Minutes

Now that that is out of the way, what's this cray cray conspiracy thing about Osama in the CIA???

Update from James Dorman:
The CIA Agent Larry Mitchell meeting Bin Laden is something I'm a bit Leary of. However, Summers and Swann(authors of The Eleventh Day) seem to believe it as well. They talked to the reporter who wrote the story for the French paper Le Figaro, then talked to the source of that reporter, and French Intelligence officials. They believe it happened. I'm not denying it. It's just hard for me to believe they would actually meet with him face to face rather than have the Saudis handle whatever business they were discussing.

On Septemer 11th 2012, Kurt Eichenwald, reported in the New York Times:
9/11 Warnings Revealed: CIA Reported Attack ‘Will Occur Soon’
The direct warnings to Mr. Bush about the possibility of a Qaeda attack began in the spring of 2001. By May 1, the Central Intelligence Agency told the White House of a report that “a group presently in the United States” was planning a terrorist operation. Weeks later, on June 22, the daily brief reported that Qaeda strikes could be “imminent,” although intelligence suggested the time frame was flexible.Those warnings not being heeded are one thing, but a report from the French paper Le Figaro claiming that a CIA agent met with bin Laden two months before 9/11 is undoubtedly suggestive of complicity given all that the CIA knew and that bin Laden was on the FBI's top ten wanted list sine 1998. The 9/11 "debunking" website 9/11myths.com tries to cast doubt on the validly of this report, while at the same time admitting possible confirmation, they state:
Author Richard Labeviere later wrote a book, where he said "a Gulf prince who presented himself as an adviser to the Emir of Bahrain" confirmed the meeting, which had been arranged by Prince Turki al-Faisal of Saudi Arabia.Hasn't this site ever heard that a good reporter never reveals their sources? In the words of John Coulter of the Irish Daily Star, "If you can't keep your gob shut about your sources, never, Never, NEVER become a journalist."
Confirmation? Maybe, but again we don't know the source, so there’s no way to determine its accuracy.
That being said, Labeviere did reveal some details about his sources, through who he revealed very detailed information, including the name of the CIA station chief in question! A 2003 Reuters report states:
Labeviere said he learned of an encounter from a contact in the Dubai hospital, and said the event was confirmed in detail during a separate interview in New York with a Gulf prince who presented himself as an adviser to the Emir of Bahrain.And as HistoryCommons.org points out:
The prince, who the author met in a Manhattan hotel in November 2001, appeared very well-informed about the CIA-bin Laden meeting.
Labeviere said the second contact told him the face-to-face had been arranged by Prince Turki al-Faisal, the head of the Saudi General Intelligence Department...
Labeviere named Larry Mitchell as the CIA station chief who met bin Laden, describing him as a colorful figure well-known on the Dubai social circuit.
French counterterrorism expert Antoine Sfeir says the story of this meeting has been verified and is not surprising: It "is nothing extraordinary. Bin Laden maintained contacts with the CIA up to 1998. These contacts have not ceased since bin Laden settled in Afghanistan. Up to the last moment, CIA agents hoped that bin Laden would return to the fold of the US, as was the case before 1989.We also have reports of an Al Qaeda trainer who it turns out worked with the Green Berets, CIA, and FBI! "Triple Cross or Inside Job?"
End of excerpts.
At the end of the day, the fact remains, there is an intellectual case for a conspiracist worldview that posits that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, therefore conspiracy is the MO of those in power, the norm and not an aberration.
