PC I hope you see just from the replies regarding my post that your cause is an exercise in Futility. Not once in my post did I talk about Government involvement in 911. Yet that's where every reply is centered. I only talked about why it is important to be a skeptic, or a cynic and that mentality is being driven out of society and often labeled kooky or crazy. This is a relatively new age in America when believing the outlandish is the norm and questioning it is insanity. We as the few must come to realize quickly that we have 3 choices, fix the situation, bury our sanity and become part of the problem, or get the hell out.
I say we try to fix it.

Being skeptical is good. Asking questions is good. Clutching to the belief that the government perpetrated 9/11 despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary is delusional.
Clutching? One neither needs to believe that the government was responsible for 911 nor does one need to believe the full account of what the government has told us to believe regarding the subject. As far as evidence is concerned I think there is more evidence to the contrary regarding the Government's theories than that of the the "theorists". I have a better idea, lets throw out the theories and get down to what really happened.
When Einstein proposed specific relativity, it was met with a great deal of skepticism. As the evidence that the theory was correct mounted, the skepticism vanished. The same goes for 9/11, except that even as the evidence mounts and each conspiracy theory is torn to bits, people go on believing.
I'm not sure about that one, I think in the 1st Loose change they claimed that a plane didn't hit the Pentagon at all, in this latest version they seemed to back off now. In this version they seemed to present evidence that should have been investigated by the commission thoroughly. You know like who funded them.
What really happened? Hijacked planes slammed into the WTC, bringing the towers crashing down to earth. I'm pretty sure that, at this point, is fact.
That's where I disagree, I don't see enough evidence to point to the planes and fire as being the only cause for the collapse of especially WTC7. I also would really like to know what all of those explosions were.
As for Loose Change, they keep changing what they say as each iteration of their BS gets dispelled. First, they claimed missiles hit the Pentagon and now they want to make a conspiracy about who did the 9/11 report? Seems to me like they're grasping at straws.
Well actually they change it as they get more and more evidence. It's still not the best documentary on the subject, 911 Press for Truth is still the best one.
That's where I'm going to claim your twisting the facts - they ARE changing it as they get more and more evidence because the evidence points to all of their initial theories being horribly wrong.
Again, find any credible source (not youtube) that claims explosions were heard or seen. Find any shred of evidence that people saw explosions. Tell me how, and why, and who planted explosives in the WTC. TEll me when they then had planes hijacked and flown into the buildings? Tell me this conspiracy, which must have involved hundreds of people, exists and yet not a single person has stepped forward to say "I was part of it."
100's of eyewitness reports claimed secondary explosions, if you do look on youtube you can watch video and hear the explosions yourself, even though you don't believe this a credible source. It's clear there were explosions. http://st12.startlogic.com/~xe...rground_explosions.htm
Well if you were part of a conspiracy to kill thousands of people would you come forward?
The NIST report accounts for all the visual evidence seen by observers regarding the towers - I see no holes, inconsistencies, or anything with their scientific explanation of how and why the buildings collapsed.
Well except for all the explosions they said they heard.
But, see, we're at the same impasse. You won't accept the NIST report, or other evidence I present and I think your collection of youtube videos and truther sites are full of shit.
Evidently neither of us is going to convince the other.
I have accepted the NIST report. I just happen to think it's incomplete.
According to the link you published, the 'explosion' evidence on the ground floor was caused by jet fuel coming down the elevator shaft. The site you link to claims that "the lobby shows none of the soot or fuel residue we would expect from such an explosion", but I have no idea who wrote that so I have no idea if that person knows what the hell they're talking about.
I'm sorry it didn't say that anywhere, do you actually believe the explosions in the basement were caused by jet fuel? If you believe that then holy shit as Carlin would say.
I have not seen a single source beyond youtube that claims there were 'explosions'. The videos I've watched show no evidence of explosions. The first-hand reports I've read don't mention it. Anecdote: Even two friends I know who were at ground zero never heard explosions.
Truthers are grasping at straws here. If there were explosions, why don't they appear on the seismograph? If there were explosions, who planted the explosives? Who planted these explosives? Why?
They did appear on a seismograph.
Why wouldn't anyone come forward? Well, if I realized that I had been part of a plot to kill 3,000 Americans, I would say something and, on the scale that this "conspiracy" must have existed on, SOMEBODY would have said something. What truthers propose is a conspiracy that involves multiple federal agencies and hundreds upon hundreds of people. Look at Watergate - far fewer people involved and the 'government' couldn't even that covered up. Look at Operation Northwoods - couldn't keep that a secret either. Look at the Bay of Pigs - no secrets there. Thus far, we have nothing.
Like I said though, we aren't going to convince each otherwise and here's why:
You believe in this conspiracy and there is no way I can disprove it beyond a reasonable doubt. That isn't because this conspiracy has any validity whatsoever, it's because, by their very nature, conspiracy theories are impossible to disprove.
You won't convince me because you can't find any real evidence of what you claim. Hence, impasse.
There you go again, either attacking me for being "stupid" or denying facts
"There is no scientific basis for the conclusion that explosions brought down the towers," Lerner-Lam tells PM. "That representation of our work is categorically incorrect and not in context."
The report issued by Lamont-Doherty includes various graphs showing the seismic readings produced by the planes crashing into the two towers as well as the later collapse of both buildings. WhatReallyHappened.com chooses to display only one graph, which shows the readings over a 30-minute time span.
On that graph, the 8- and 10-second collapses appear ? misleadingly ? as a pair of sudden spikes. Lamont-Doherty's 40-second plot of the same data gives a much more detailed picture: The seismic waves ? blue for the South Tower, red for the North Tower ? start small and then escalate as the buildings rumble to the ground.
So, no, the seismograph DOES NOT support the theory that there were bombs.
And since when are you an expert on explosions, building collapses, and the explosive properties of jet fuel? What is going on here is that people don't understand that explosions don't happen like they do in the movies and that, just because you've seen Die Hard 2 seven times, you aren't an expert on plane crashes or building collapses.
Again, present any circumstantial evidence that indicates explosives were used, provide any meaningful motive or vehicle for planting the explosives and we can talk.
Until then, enjoy living in your comfortable world where the government did this to America so you don't have to face the reality that terrorism can strike at home.
