Conspiracy theories have been floating around the internet forever, from things that don’t make sense to something that might actually have a point. Some are so off the wall that as the watcher of the YouTube video or the reader of an article, you take a second glance to see whether the things you heard or read are actually true.
For instance, British classic rock band Supertramp got wrapped around a truther conspiracy about the 9/11 attacks. So many people couldn’t understand the correlation between a rock band and a vicious attack on US soil. However, it seems that these conspiracy theorists came with evidence to support their claims, so let’s examine their explanation.
From face value, it’s just a cover that happens to be in front of the city skyline; however, the theory from the 9/11 truther community reveals that there’s another side of the art. The theory rose to the surface on the David Icke forum, where a forum member suggested that the cover art forecasted the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 2001. The forum member Eve broke down every single detail about the artwork in a cryptic manner.
Supertramp’s 1979 album ‘Breakfast in America’ apparently showcases more than what meets the eye. The cover artwork consists of a smiling waitress substituting the Statue of Liberty, holding an orange juice instead of a torch. Behind the waitress is the New York City skyline, and it so happens that the positioning of the juice is not only the same color as a fire but also directly in front of the twin towers.
Eve’s description on the forum read:
“Album came out in 1979.
9/11 reference.
9/11 was served with breakfast, not to mention the everyday fight for freedom: ‘Breakfast In America.’
Orange juice = fireball.
You are looking out of the window of a plane; she is showing the target.”
If the mysterious description wasn’t enough, she even posts a reversed view of the cover art, which shows the ‘U’ and ‘P’ of Supertramp flipped around to look like the figures ‘9’ and ’11.’ When you keep in mind all the signs mentioned by Eve, it raises the question of whether Supertramp knew the 9/11 terrorist attacks were coming. If the band didn’t have a clue, did someone in the team in charge of picking the cover art know that the attacks would take place?
Either way, none of these clues and explanations give away why it took 22 years after the release of Supertramp’s ‘Breakfast in America’ for the storyline to come to fruition, so it remains a mystery. Do you think the conspiracy theory is real, and the band knew the attacks would happen?
