Mr. Khan,
First, I'll express my gratitude to Ms. M. Whitney; thanks, Ms. Whitney for recommending Dr. Pipe's book, "Conspiracy" .. I'll be sure to get it since I'd very much like get his take on a fascinating subject.

Your favorite conspiracy theory:
"President Bush and press tycoon Rupert Murdoch knew the plans in advance, that the Mossad had a key role in that day's events, that United Airlines flight 175 was not flown into the southern World Trade Center tower, and that the towers were destroyed either by an Israeli-American laser beam weapon or massive underground explosions."

And now your favorite conspiracy translated - my take on your tangled web of fear:
You say: "President Bush and press tycoon Rupert Murdoch".
You mean: my domineering and weak father (who never will approve of me) but will tower over me and diminish me forever and my too powerful mother who I can only despise
You say: "knew the plans in advance"
You mean: it seems like my parents planned to destroy me/they abandoned me
You say: "The Mossad"
You mean: my feared salvation - my rejected self - love/intellect that I'll never deserve
You say: "key role"
You mean: if only I could face the truth of those whom I've made my enemy (my perceived superiors), I could save myself. If I could freely admire Jews/Americans I could freely begin to admire myself
You say: "United Airlines 175"
You mean: if I face the truth of my loss I'm afraid I will either kill or die (or both)
You say: "the towers"
You mean: my overwhelming/unloving/failed parents/ my castrated self
You say: "Israeli-American laser beam"
You mean: my internalized hatred of the parents I wish had loved me/the path of my enfeebling lies/my synthesized truth/ersatz light
You say: "massive underground explosions"
You mean: my coward's anger which renders me impotent and will eventually be the cause of my complete demise

There, you see Mr. Khan -- you can run but you cannot hide.
