What do you mean? Were you under the impression that the U.S. government isn't a single government entity? That it's some sort of uncoordinated collection of various, competing governments, or something?
LOL.

The government is made up of a multitude of different agencies made up of a multitude of human beings.

Regardless of how many different people and agencies there are in government, the government is still just a single, classic, top-down power structure with a pyramid-like shape. Each person and department serves a very much unified, single whole.

Believing that "the government" could orchestrate 9/11 without leaving any paper trail whatsoever or any witnesses - NO ONE AT ALL agreeing with you, Juror, is simply ridiculous.

Oh, don't get me wrong, there's probably a paper trail somewhere, but the government has the power to classify all documents relating to such an operation as Top Secret. If anyone goes snooping around, or there's a danger that the details of the operation could go public, documents can easily be destroyed, just as the CIA did with MK-ULTRA documentation during the 1970s.
As for witnesses, what do you think could have been witnessed? Do you honestly believe the Joint Chiefs sit around and plan this stuff with just anyone looking over their shoulder? Do you honestly believe the CIA carries out covert, black ops in plain sight? Come on, get real. If there was a witness or two that needed to be disposed of or silenced, that's the CIA's specialty. That's what they do. That's what they've always done.
Just read the Operation Northwoods plan. If the Joint Chiefs didn't think they could pull off such an operation and keep it secret, they wouldn't have sat down, planned it, and then SIGNED OFF ON IT and sent it up the chain of command to Robert McNamara and John F. Kennedy. They obviously thought such an elaborate, false flag plan was well within their capabilities, or they wouldn't have bothered.

It doesn't matter if there are a couple of thousands of people of the same ridiculous mindset...

On the contrary, this matters quite a bit. This actually might be the key to the whole thing. Ideological conspiracies are often the most successful of all, and unlike classic criminal conspiracies, they can involve many more people without there being a breakdown in discretion.
People with a shared ideology are much more likely to overlook differences between them to focus on a greater goal. Hence the saying, "politics makes strange bedfellows".

there are millions upon millions that understand that Al-Qaida is real and that 9/11 isn't a "government conspiracy". Your lack of proof =! proof.
Could as well have been aliens.

No, in reality there are millions upon millions of people that
hope Al-Qaeda is real, because facing the alternative - that Al-Qaeda might be a creation of the U.S. government and the corporate interests behind it - is too painful to conceive of. The level of cognitive dissonance involved is simply off the charts and is almost unbearable for most people. Very, very few people want to have to consider the possibility that they live under a government that would murder them in cold blood. Nobody wants to believe that, so they live in denial of any evidence that suggests they live under a rogue, criminal government.
It's far easier to live under a comfortable myth than to have to face an uncomfortable truth.
