> the citizenry would be up in arms if there were indisputable proof that our government orchestrated

Not so sure about that. Large portion of population does believe that and they are not up in arms.



It's not a wide enough margin. The Scrips 2006 poll suggested around 16% think it's "very likely" someone in the US government either assisted or took no action (as frame of reference, Pew Research suggests between 4 and 7% of respondent input is "bogus"... Not just random, but intentionally biased towards the most unlikely answer to troll the pollsters [https://www.pewresearch.org/methods/2020/02/18/assessing-the...]).


2006?!?!?!?!?!?!


That was the generous year. Belief has waned since then.

Statista probed the question in 2019 and found strong belief at 11%. https://www.statista.com/statistics/959504/belief-september-...
