The FBI is instructing local police departments and "communities against terrorism" to consider anyone who harbors "conspiracy theories" about 9/11 to be a potential terrorist, in a circular released to local police departments.
The circular thus adds 9/11 official story skeptics to a growing list of targets described by federal law enforcement to be security threats, such as
those who express "libertarian philosophies," "Second Amendment-oriented views," interest in "self-sufficiency," "fears of Big Brother or big government," and "Declarations of Constitutional rights and civil liberties."
A newly released
national poll shows that 48% of Americans either have some doubts about the official account of 9/11, or do not believe it at all.
The FBI circular entitled "Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities Related to Sleepers" says that people who should be 'considered suspicious' of possible involvement in "terrorist activity" include those who hold the "attitude" described as " Conspiracy theories about Westerners." The circular continues: "e.g. (sic) the CIA arranged for 9/11 to legitimize the invasion of foreign lands."

Section of FBI circular to local police, "Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities Related to Sleepers."
"Sleepers" refers to "sleeper cells," in FBI jargon, which are terrorists awaiting orders to be activated into terrorist activity.
In 1998 it was declassified by the Pentagon that the Joint Chiefs of Staff had approved a plan, in 1962, to attack and kill US citizens to "provide justifications for US military intervention in Cuba." The plan was
code-named Operation Northwoods, the face page of the declassified document is below.

The plan was signed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Lyman Lemnitzer. It was rejected by President John F. Kennedy, who demoted Lemnitzer.
According to the polling firm YouGov, 38% of Americans have some doubts about the official account of 9/11, 10% do not believe it at all, and 12% are unsure about it.
The FBI circular, issued by the
Department of Justice Assistance, an arm of the US Department of Justice, is posted at, among other departments, the
Columbus, Ohio, police department website, and the
New Hampshire state government website. The FBI document also includes as reason for suspicion of involvement in terrorist activities:
"Excusing violence against Americans on the grounds that American actions provoked the problem."

As well the document cites "fury" at the "global policies of the U.S."
Among well-known doubters of the official 9/11 account are many
military officers,
law enforcement personnel,
firefighters, and
pilots, all working through affinity groups. One is US Army Major General Albert Stubblebine,
who has said of the three buildings which fell on 9/11:
"They didn't fall down because airplanes hit them. They fell down because of explosives went off inside. Demolition."
Most recently, former Fox News anchorman
Ben Swann has questioned the official 9/11 story.
This September 11th a group of citizens, architects, and engineers, led by
families of 9/11 victims, unveiled
an international ad campaign questioning the official version of 9/11. The campaign is sponsoring signs and billboards around the world which ask the question: "Did you know a third tower fell on 9/11?"

The 9/11 issue has been actively pursued on the Internet, and largely excluded by the major media. However, news organizations
such as Time have covered the architects and engineers billboard campaign, sponsored by a group called
2,000 Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
Bloggers and other citizens have long argued that the science employed by the official story
is impossible, and that the three towers must have been destroyed by
some other means. As the FBI circular states, some argue that 9/11 was planned by a secret coup faction of the US government "to legitimize the invasion of foreign lands," notably Iraq and the Middle East. In 2005 General Wesley Clark, former presidential candidate, said that he was given a copy of a memo by a ranking member of the Bush administration that revealed that war hawks in the Pentagon planned on attacking
"seven countries in five years," with Iraq only the beginning.
Other federal law enforcement agencies have been criticized for sweeping characterizations of potential terrorists, which demonize Constitutionally protected activity. In 2011, 18-year law enforcement veteran
James Wesley Rawles warned that the Department of Homeland Security was being trained to consider as potential terrorists, among other people, those who had expressed "libertarian philosophies, "Second Amendment-oriented views," "Self-sufficiency (stockpiling food, ammo, hand tools, medical supplies,) "Fear of economic collapse," "fears of Big Brother or big government," and "Declarations of Constitutional rights and civil liberties." Since Hurricane Katrina, food stockpiling consultants and merchants have reported greater-than-ever activity and interest in
storing long-term supplies of non-perishable food and water supplies.
