DISINFO: The US élite was behind the 9/11 attack and the assassination of John F. Kennedy

SUMMARY

The US élite was behind the 9/11 attack and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. These are just some examples of a long series of secret conspiracies of the US élite.

RESPONSE

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative presented without evidence about global elites secretly ruling the world. The article’s claim is also consistent with the conspiracy about the so-called Deep State in the United States, which is allegedly a permanent, unelected shadow government responsible for numerous historical events, including the assassination of President John. F. Kennedy on 22 November 1963 and the 9/11 2001 terrorist attacks.

No serious evidence has come to light supporting the theory that President Kennedy was assassinated as a result of a US élite conspiracy, though conspiracy theories about the assassination are abound.

Despite years of debunking the 9/11 conspiracy theories, a recent article in The Wall Street Journal reports that:

“The 9/11 conspiracy movement has proven persistent and pervasive without support from mainstream news organizations or political leaders. That suggests something ominous about some of its successors, including the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory.”

Furthermore, there is no invisible “shadow government” in the US as claimed by these theories. An in-depth article published by Time explores the historical roots of conspiracy theories in America. Psychologists have highlighted that certain types of personalities are particularly susceptible to believing such theories.

Read similar cases claiming that the assassination of John F. Kennedy and 9/11 attacks were organised by Deep State, and that 9/11 was no terrorist attack, the US government is behind this tragedy
