I like how you say "tin-foil hat aside", then go on to state with what seems to be complete seriousness that 9/11 was carried out by the U.S. against the U.S. using drone-controlled passenger airplanes.
If you don't, then I applaud your critical thinking.
I don't think a single word that comes out of the US (and UK) gov't is truthful. Why would they be truthful about 9/11?
