Still, I can’t and won’t disengage fully from political discourse. It’s one thing that I do.

I assume it is not a fraud.
Here is the point I wanted to make: most Islamists are stupid, and would not have been capable of organizing something as sophisticated as the World Trade Center bombings. Yes, they have engineers, physicists, and the like, but the rank and file are stupid. They are rednecks. They are the people who at one time would have joined the KKK here.
The World Trade Center bombing–and for simplicity I am simply going to assume all three Towers went down the same way, with nanothermite planted in advance of the plane hijackings–required a huge amount of logistical complexity. This is often used as an argument against the hypothesis, but the fact remains and will always remain that curtains do not burn for 8 hours, do not burn hot enough to cause flame treated I-beams to collapse, and that single column failures do not create free-fall or even, according to most engineers, ANY collapse of any sort, outside the immediate area. We also are not even sure how the fires started.
I see no reason to doubt Osama bin Laden played a role in all this. But I think much of the plan was outside his knowledge. It would have been compartmentalized. But the amount of sophistication needed, and the fact that there have been NO leaks of information by the people involved, indicates that some group other than Islamists was involved.
As I have noted several times as well, the goal of Al Queda is to inflict as many civilian casualties as possible. If they had planted the explosives, they could have detonated them WITHOUT the airplanes. It would have been much more terrifying, much more effective. The loss of life would have been ten times what it was, at least.
No, I think those involved were white men, likely raised as nominal Christians, whose fanaticism and fear enabled them to justify this atrocity as somehow necessary for the future of humanity.
As I note on my other website, Carlyle had Malthus in mind when he called economics “the dismal science”. I would append that bon mot to note that those who follow Malthus are dismal people, anti-humanitarians, anti-humanists, anti-moralists.
It is quite possible to develop considerable certainty in the abstract, and quite possible to be horribly wrong across a lifetime about issues of fundamental importance.
It happens often, every day, and in perhaps every other set of eyes you look into. The errors of those with power and money, though, affect far more people.

There's a rumor going around the internets that Putin is planning to leak details of US .gov involvement in 9/11. The only thing I've been able to find that supports this rumor, however, is a video posted on Youtube by Russia Today from September of last year.
That said – I hope it's true 😉
I prefer not to believe our government was involved, although of course everything we choose to believe is necessarily based on speculation. All we can say with confidence is that the presence of the thermite necessarily implies a bigger and much more complex conspiracy than has been suspected in orthodox views on that day.
For my part, I have wondered if Putin himself might not have been behind it. He was newly in office, and something like that certainly would have been within the capabilities of the KGB, particularly if they got the help of rich American leftists like the Rockefellers.
