Could you tell me all about 9/11? Why did America and the Jews blow up the towers?

In the Project for New America Century's 1997 document, which is sexed up to make it sound appealing to others, is based on their principles to implement and increase military security around the world. That's just screaming for a global takeover in what they've envisioned in creating an one world government that will give them power and control. Although no one in DC went for that notion, at least not until 9/11, in which the attack had galanivized national and international support for invasion in the middle east in order to curb terrorism (which turned out to be a farce). PNAC's global plan will require extensive cooperation from soveriegnity government. And those who don't comply will be painted as villians, terrorists, communists, etc by the west and will be required to engage in a battle upon them. The congress, military industrial complex and oil companies are playing along with it because there is something in it for them (big profits). It will continue to succeed just so as long they play by the nazi's playbook and keep the america public in the dark. I would suggest you to rent "Why We Fight", it blows michael moore's F911 out of the water.

I suggest you post what happened 9-11 like I said in the other thread or stop this conspiracy bullshit.

The fuck is you talkin' about? It's all right here...

http://www.newamericancentury.org/

No, I want you to break down the players, what happened, and how the cover up is going down.

Don't link me to a fucking think tank with your half assed, vague, cryptic sentences. Show me what you actually think. If you can call whatever it is you do to get this shit "thinking".

Enough of the "connect the dots" bullshit. Show us the fucking picture already

The indepedent inquiry into the attacks began 18 months after 9/11. The 9/11 commission wouldn't have been formed if it wasn't for the pressure by victims' relatives. They started off with as little as 3 million dollar budget whereas the investigaion into the Columbia shuttle crash started within weeks and a 50 million dollar budget. The commission would later request for 11 million dollars for extra funding, a request only to be rejected by the bush administration, then later decided to contribute 2 million dollars less than the asking amount.

The Able Danger data mining, an army intelligence program, was created in 1999 to gather and compile information on the al Qaeda network, including the hijackers' activites in the US as well as Osama bin Laden's prior to the attacks, yet the commission ignored it completely.

Here are some of the proofs of the investigation stonewalling and the coverup by the bush administration

Quote:

(CBS) President Bush took a few minutes during his trip to Europe Thursday to voice his opposition to establishing a special commission to probe how the government dealt with terror warnings before Sept. 11.

Quote:

DISPLAYING ABSTRACT -Congressional deal to create independent commission to probe Sept 11 terrorist attacks is stalled, with Democrats, some Republicans and families of attack victims charging Bush administration undermines idea it only reluctantly embraced; administration officials and Congressional Republicans say they want commission structured to produce bipartisan result; almost completed deal was suddenly undone in Oct after Rep Porter J Goss, Republican involved in talks, got call from Vice Pres Dick Cheney; impasse shows how sensitive issue of intelligence lapses before Sept 11 remains for Bush.

Quote:

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration and the nation's intelligence agencies are blocking the release of sensitive information about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, delaying publication of a 900-page congressional report on how the terrorist assault happened.

Quote:

One member's attempt to review confidential transcripts exposed a rift yesterday within the independent commission examining the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Timothy J. Roemer, a member of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, criticized the panel's leaders for not demanding immediate and total access to documents compiled during a congressional inquiry on the terrorist attacks.
..............
Roemer, a former Democratic House member from Indiana, tried to review the transcripts of the joint hearings held last year by the House and Senate intelligence committees. He learned that he had no permission to see them, even though he had served on the joint committee hearings and had, therefore, read the material before.

Roemer called the experience outrageous. He noted that the commission, by law, must build upon the work of the congressional inquiry, which found that organizational problems and human failings had prevented U.S. intelligence agencies from unraveling the Sept. 11 plot.

Quote:

A status report released by the 9/11 Commission shows that various government agencies are not cooperating fully with the investigation. Neither the CIA nor the Justice Department have provided all requested documents. Lack of cooperation on the part of the Department of Defense "[is] becoming particularly serious," and the commission has received no responses whatsoever to requests related to national air defenses. The FBI, State Department, and Transportation Department receive generally positive reviews.

Quote:

Just before resigning, [Max] Cleland [member of 9/11 Commission] called the Bush administration's attempts to stonewall and "slow walk" the commission a "national scandal." He criticized the commission for cutting a deal with the White House that compromised their access to information, and said, "I'm not going to be part of looking at information only partially. I'm not going to be part of just coming to quick conclusions. I'm not going to be part of political pressure to do this or not do that. I'm not going to be part of that. This is serious."

Quote:

WASHINGTON -- Two of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers had a support network in the United States that included agents of the Saudi government, and the Bush administration and FBI blocked a congressional investigation into that relationship, Senator Bob Graham wrote in a book to be released Tuesday.

The discovery of the financial backing of the two hijackers "would draw a direct line between the terrorists and the government of Saudi Arabia, and trigger an attempted coverup by the Bush administration," the Florida Democrat wrote.

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/ar...ays _in_book/

It's no secret that Saudi Arabia is the epicenter of terrorism funding yet they are in cooperation with the US in the fight against global terrorism. A bit ironic, you think? The US had recently sold 6 billion dollars worth of machinery weapons and arms to the Saudis.

"Henry Kissinger vs the 9/11 families"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcxjJDlbnC4

Henry Kissinger is a known war criminal who helped orchestrate the bombing of south asia from 1967-1971. Google "trial of henry kissinger amazon" or read this Salon article. He was also a consultant for Unocal and was involved with plans to build pipelines in Afghanistan. He lasted only one month as the head of 9/11 independent inquiry team before stepping down due to conflicts of business interest. Thomas Kean, Bush's whipping boy, would later replace his position.

I'm gonna stop here and maybe continue when I feel like it

Not what I asked for.

Give me your theory. In your words.

I think you're confusing theories with facts. They way you're ridiculing those who have come to a conclusion that the US govt had a hand in the attacks as "silly conspiracy theorist kooks" is only going to slow you down, if not preventing, from seeing the big picture. Perhaps you'll listen to a list of government insiders since they have much more credibility than a little nobody like me...

Ex-Bush Official Busts 9/11 Perps at U.W. Historical Society

Saturday, May 6, 2006

“Reynolds indicted Richard Cheney, George W. Bush, former Joint Chiefs Chairman Richard Meyers, confessed WTC demolisher and insurance-fraudster Larry Silverstein, and others for mass murder, conspiracy, and other charges including high treason.

…

[Reynolds] showed that the defendants conspired to create a false cover story of suicide hijackings in order to “blow the World Trade Center to kingdom come” with explosives—a shock-and-awe psy-op designed to coerce the American people into supporting a pre-planned “long war” in the Middle East, massive increases in military spending, and the rollback of Constitutional civil liberties.” Article: Madison, WI, May 6, 2006

Dr Paul Craig Roberts
Father of Reaganomics; Former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution; Research Fellow at Stanford's Independent Institute; Former Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal

“Americans never check any facts. Who do you know, for example, who has even read the Report of the 9/11 Commission, much less checked the alleged facts reported in that document. I can answer for you. You don’t know anyone who has read the report or checked the facts. … How do you know that 9/11 was a Muslim terrorist plot? How do you know that three World Trade Center buildings collapsed because two were hit by airliners? You only “know” because the government gave you the explanation of what you saw on TV. (Did you even know that three WTC buildings collapsed?) … Governments lie all the time--especially governments staffed by neoconservatives whose intellectual godfather, Leo Strauss, taught them that it is permissible to deceive the public in order to achieve their agenda. … Scientific evidence is a tough thing for the American public to handle, and the government knows it. The government can rely on people dismissing things that they cannot understand as “conspiracy theory." … For six years the Bush regime has been able to count on the ignorant and naive American public to believe whatever tale that is told them. American gullibility has yet to fail the Bush regime. The government has an endless number of conspiracy theories, but only people who question the government’s conspiracies are derided for “having a conspiracy theory.” … Gentle reader, wise up. The entire world is laughing at you.” Article: August 14, 2006

“Most readers from whom I heard understand the difference between loyalty to country and loyalty to a government. They understand that to support a political party or a government that is destroying the US Constitution and America’s reputation in the world is, in fact, an act of treason. Therefore, I did not have to read the usual drivel about how doubting “our government” is un-American. … The only explanation known to science for the free fall collapse of a building, especially into its own footprint, is engineered demolition, which removes the supports for each floor of the building at split second intervals so that the debris from above meets no resistance on its fall. To call this explanation a “conspiracy theory” is to display the utmost total ignorance. Any physicist or engineer who maintains that buildings can “pancake” at free fall speed has obviously been bought and paid for or is a total incompetent fool. … How could government complicity be kept a secret? It can be kept a secret, because so many Americans are scientifically ignorant and emotionally weak. They are incapable of realizing the contradiction in the government’s claim that the WTC buildings “pancaked” at free fall speed, and they are emotionally incapable of confronting the evil of the Bush regime. … We know nothing about alleged suicide flyers led by M. Atta except what the government has told us, a government that has lied to us about everything else… … Americans who rely on the totally corrupt corporate media have no idea what is happening anywhere on earth, much less at home.” Article: August 16, 2006

“I guess the real story about 9/11 is about what the people are actually saying. I’ve gotten hundreds of emails in response to my columns and many of them talk about not getting the truth from the government or the media about what really happened at the World Trade Center. I know many qualified engineers and scientists have said the WTC collapsed from explosives. In fact, if you look at the manner in which it fell, you have to give their conclusions credibility.”
Article: June 22, 2005

“Many patriotic readers have written to me expressing their frustration that fact and common sense cannot gain a toehold in a debate guided by hysteria and disinformation. Other readers write that 9/11 shields Bush from accountability, They challenge me to explain why three World Trade Center buildings on one day collapsed into their own footprints at free fall speed, an event outside the laws of physics except under conditions of controlled demolition. They insist that there is no stopping war and a police state as long as the government's story on 9/11 remains unchallenged.”
Article: February 6, 2006

“The Bush administration is insane. If the American people do not decapitate it by demanding Bush's impeachment, the Bush administration will bring about Armageddon.” Article: August 15, 2005

“…I did go to Georgia Tech, and I did learn some physics, and I know enough physics to know that it is strictly impossible for buildings to collapse in their own footprint at freefall speed except under controlled demolitions. Those buildings did not come down the way the 9/11 report says. It’s strictly impossible. In fact it’s a total, the account of the 9/11 report in a total contradiction of the laws of physics.”

Ellsberg: “I have looked at a lot of that and I tell you, without going into it all, which would take a lot of time, I find some of it very implausible and other parts of it, quite solid. There’s no question in my mind, that there is enough evidence there to justify a very comprehensive and hard hitting investigation of a kind that we have not seen, with subpoenas, and general questioning of people, and release of a lot of documents. There’s no question that, uh… put it this way, that very serious questions have been raised about how much they knew beforehand and how much involvement there may have been. Is the administration capable, uh, humanly and psychologically, of engineering such a provocation? Yes. I would say that, I worked for such an administration myself... Johnson.

Your take on that.”

McGovern: “Well Alex that’s altogether possible, it’s altogether possible.

“… in the light of recent events like 9/11, the invasion of Afghanistan, the invasion of Iraq, I believe this was an example of what we refer to as false flag terrorism, where terrorist acts are carried out, but they are either funded or encouraged by the western intelligence agencies, but of course in public are blamed on organizations like Al Qaeda.

...

It is therefore absolutely vital that we expose the lie of 9/11. And the time to do something is not in five years time. The time to do something is NOW. Because if we don’t act now, the very avenues of protest, the very right to protest, the rights to free speech, will be taken away from us, so there will be no conditions in which we can protest. And don’t even think this is simply an issue that you can ignore and live with yourself, because it’s not just affecting us, it’s going to affect our children.” Video Part 1 -- Video Part 2

What hit it? Where is it? What’s going on?”

“…After spending the better part of the last five years treating these theories with utmost skepticism, I have devoted serious time to actually studying them in recent months, and have also carefully watched several videos that are available on the subject. I have come to believe that significant parts of the 9/11 theories are true, and that therefore significant parts of the “official story” put out by the U.S. government and the 9/11 Commission are false. I now think there is persuasive evidence that the events of September did not unfold as the Bush administration and the 9/11 Commission would have us believe…”

…Only secret services and their current chiefs… have the ability to plan, organize and conduct an operation of such magnitude…

…Osama bin Laden and "Al Qaeda" cannot be the organizers or the performers of the September 11 attacks. They do not have the necessary organization, resources or leaders.

April Gallop
Former Pentagon Administrative Specialist with Top Secret SCI Clearance

“At random times, there would be drill exercises utilizing an alarm for us to evacuate the building. Yet on that particular day no alarm. [This is] especially [odd] considering the fact of what had already taken place at the World Trade Center.”

Interviewer: “Do you have any theory about how a Boeing 757 could have hit such a secure building without any anti-aircraft defenses being activated or any warning alarms sounded?”

Gallop: “I have thought about this very question numerous times. And then I realized I needed to rephrase the question. The real question is what is the probability or likelihood that no anti-aircraft defense, warning alarms or additional security mechanism functioned on that particular day? And then we need to think how likely is it then there was a glitch in all the security mechanisms, anti-aircraft defense and warning alarms? You know, it takes a while to get around that building. And I remember being so disgusted at the frequency of random drill exercises taking place for us to evacuate the building. It seemed as if they always happened when I had to take care of certain things. Yet on September 11th, the day when our lives were threatened, not one alarm.”

Interviewer: “…I have heard that, as of 9/11, the anti-aircraft batteries were automated, in other words, that they would have automatically fired against any incoming aircraft that did not transmit the appropriate friend or foe signal. Is that true?”

Gallop: “Yes that is true. They are either to attempt to guide the incoming aircraft that has violated the airspace to a safe location to land. Making reasonable effort to guide it down. Or shoot it down.”

“In all my years of direct and indirect participation, I never witnessed nor even heard of an aircraft loss, where the wreckage was accessible, that prevented investigators from finding enough hard evidence to positively identify the make, model, and specific registration number of the aircraft -- and in most cases the precise cause of the accident. This is because every military and civilian passenger-carrying aircraft have many parts that are identified for safety of flight. That is, if any of the parts were to fail at any time during a flight, the failure would likely result in the catastrophic loss of aircraft and passengers. Consequently, these parts are individually controlled by a distinctive serial number and tracked by a records section of the maintenance operation and by another section called plans and scheduling”

And again, you cut and paste more things you haven't read.

I want your words, moron. Tell me what really happened and how.

As an admitted conspiracy theorist when it comes to the JFK assassination, I'm really having trouble swallowing this. I want facts, I want actual discrepencies that I can look at. I want patterns, I want things that I can pinpoint.

Here we have people telling us that we shouldn't believe what the government says about 9/11 simply because they're the government. "Governments lie all the time". Maybe so, but until I see some damn proof, no, not even proof, I'd settle for a single actual discrepency, I'm going with their explanation.

Personally, I hear these people when they complain about being derided as conspiracy theorists. I myself have been accused of it. And I don't say; "OMG TEH GOVRNMENT KILLD JFK". All I point out is that the official FBI X-rays and autopsy photos don't match up. That's it. And still I am accused of being a leftist conspiracy theorist wacko.

However, I do not angrily demand that people simply take my word for it, or belittle them for disagreeing. I give them discrepencies to look at. I don't hammer them with other people's words, I simply state observations that I have made.

So please, in simple, short terms, explain what one main focal point your argument rests on. And please, I don't need ironclad facts, but I need logic, real logic, in order to side with you.

That post should be the conspiracy theorist clause for this board.

Let's focus on the pentagon hit.

How long does it take for hijackers to gain control of the crowd with boxcutters, break into the cockpit, force out the co-pilots, take control of the plane, turn off transponders, etc? Long enough period of time for NORAD to respond. American Airline 77 took off from Dulles Airport in DC, and after it had been hijacked, the hijacker pilot diverted AA77 back to DC for full 45 minutes before hitting the pentagon. So where was NORAD on this one? Not one single fighter jets were scrambled to either intercept AA77 nor protect the skies in DC. Remember, the pentagon impact occured 35 minutes after the 2nd hit in NYC when it became obviously apparent to anyone that america was under attack. The only possible explanation was that the air force was given a stand down order. Who has the authority to order a stand down? Those inside the government.

Here is the catch, Dick Cheney was given direct order by W. Bush in may of 2001 to schedule and operate military exercises along with the help of Generals Ralph Eberhart and Richard Myers. In august of 2001, several fighter jets from virginia's langley air force base were deployed to Iceland for a guardian operation, which was scheduled to last until december of 2001. On the morning of 9/11, several fighter jets from DC's andrew air force base were deployed to North Carolina for scheduled wargame exercises. These jets were not recalled until 11 am, after the attacks were completed. While W. Bush was stranded in florida, take a wild guess who was already in DC and took over as the acting commander in chief? Cheney, the person who directed the responses from an emergency bunker.

Norman Mineta, the secetary of transportation had arrived into PEOC at 9:20 am on 9/11, and claimed in a damaging testimony in front of the commission in 2003, that Cheney was already there with the staff.

Quote:

Mineta: "During the time that the airplane was coming into the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President...the plane is 50 miles out...the plane is 30 miles out...and when it got down to the plane is 10 miles out, the young man also said to the vice president "do the orders still stand?" And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said "Of course the orders still stand, have you heard anything to the contrary!??"

Mineta assumed the "the orders still stand" statement by cheney was a reference to shooting down the plane. But that obviously didn't happen and there was not a single fighter jet in the air. The only conclusion is that it was a reference to a stand down order coming from Cheney.

This caused Cheney to to testify to the commission along with Bush in closed session, with no transcript, no witnesses, and no public accountiblity. Mineta's testimony was completely omitted from the 9/11 report and the time of Cheney's arrival at PEOC had been changed to 9:58 am.

Since 9/11 had opened the doors for the military industrial complex such as KBR and Halliburton in which Cheney is linked to, for Project for New America Century in which Cheney is also linked to, who stood to benefit the most from the attacks?

Were aliens involved?

*snort*

Okay, so yeah, aliens WERE involved.

Dick Cheney is a vile POS, but at least he's funny.

Yeah but rumsfeld is way funnier though. I could watch him speak about some boring subject like taxes and social security and still laugh my ass off. His hand gestures and facial expressions are priceless.

I don't know guys all this, "Just give me one discrepency" stuff is kind of weird. Geggy points out discrepencies all the time, I dare say that's about all he does! The entire 9/11 conspiracy theory is based on various discrepencies, whether it's from the lack of a report, the lack of scientific analysis of the rubble, lack of "Evidence" towards anything etc..
Those are discrepencies, if mixed up medical reports are a discrepency than all of those are discrepencies.

Also why do you demand that he explain the conspiracy theory in his own words? Did he commit the crime? Does he need to have some special trademarked form of truth that he invented? What's wrong with taking the "most educated" ideas and running with them? You don't need to be Isaac Newton to believe in or talk about gravity, so it doesn't really make sense that Geggy would have to write his own story/ideas for this conspiracy theory in order for it to be true. Regardless of if geggy explains this to your liking or not, the situation and the truth of the matter doesn't really change :(

Well, atleast you are within a country mile of answering my question. Still not giving me what I want but what the hell, you aren't going to anyway.

I'm not even 100% sure your timeline is correct, but I'll take a few swings.

Quote:

How long does it take for hijackers to gain control of the crowd with boxcutters, break into the cockpit, force out the co-pilots, take control of the plane, turn off transponders, etc? Long enough period of time for NORAD to respond.

What on earth gives you reason for that assumption?

Quote:

American Airline 77 took off from Dulles Airport in DC, and after it had been hijacked, the hijacker pilot diverted AA77 back to DC for full 45 minutes before hitting the pentagon. So where was NORAD on this one?

Still getting a bead on all the planes in the sky. Do you have any idea how much air travel happens over the US, especially the East Coast?

Quote:

Not one single fighter jets were scrambled to either intercept AA77 nor protect the skies in DC.

Prior to 9-11, there were 14 fighter jets responsible for defending the skies over the continental US.

Do you know their best response times? Do you know how long it is supposed to take orders to go through the chain of command?

Besides, what if fighter jets intercepted 77? What then?

Quote:

Remember, the pentagon impact occured 35 minutes after the 2nd hit in NYC when it became obviously apparent to anyone that america was under attack.

Yes, then you have to get your bearings together and find other missing planes

Quote:

The only possible explanation was that the air force was given a stand down order.

No, not at all. They could have very well been caught asleep at the switch. Not that I'm comfortable with that either, but its well short of the scifi you're writing.

Quote:

Mineta's testimony was completely omitted from the 9/11 report

Really?

Want to read the part of his tesitmony you are refering to?

Quote:

MR. HAMILTON: We thank you for that. I wanted to focus just a moment on the Presidential Emergency Operating Center. You were there for a good part of the day. I think you were there with the vice president. And when you had that order given, I think it was by the president, that authorized the shooting down of commercial aircraft that were suspected to be controlled by terrorists, were you there when that order was given?

MR. MINETA: No, I was not. I was made aware of it during the time that the airplane coming into the Pentagon. There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president, "The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?" And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" Well, at the time I didn't know what all that meant. And --

MR. HAMILTON: The flight you're referring to is the --

MR. MINETA: The flight that came into the Pentagon.

MR. HAMILTON: The Pentagon, yeah.

MR. MINETA: And so I was not aware that that discussion had already taken place. But in listening to the conversation between the young man and the vice president, then at the time I didn't really recognize the significance of that.

And then later I heard of the fact that the airplanes had been scrambled from Langley to come up to DC, but those planes were still about 10 minutes away. And so then, at the time we heard about the airplane that went into Pennsylvania, then I thought, "Oh, my God, did we shoot it down?" And then we had to, with the vice president, go through the Pentagon to check that out.

MR. HAMILTON: Let me see if I understand. The plane that was headed toward the Pentagon and was some miles away, there was an order to shoot that plane down.

MR. MINETA: Well, I don't know that specifically, but I do know that the airplanes were scrambled from Langley or from Norfolk, the Norfolk area. But I did not know about the orders specifically other than listening to that other conversation.

MR. HAMILTON: But there very clearly was an order to shoot commercial aircraft down.

MR. MINETA: Subsequently I found that out.

Seriously, do you even look into this yourself, or are you just taking other people with no relevent experience in the matter at their word?

HE is trying to convince OTHER PEOPLE that there was indeed a conspiracy on 9/11. If I was even to begin to take him seriously, he needed to simply explain his own opinion, in his own words, something which I think he has now done, even if I myself am not convinced.

You speak of the using most educated ideas and running with them, that you "don't need to be Isaac Newton to understand gravity".

Maybe so, but if I'm trying to convince someone else that gravity exists, I say to them "you know when an apple falls to the ground? That is because the earth exerts a gravitational pull on said object". I'm not going to throw out every single damned scientific document I can get my hands on, nor pull in five million experts that are going to say very intelligent sounding things with very subtle points that are going to go right over my audience's head.

Because, since I am 'in the know', and I want to prove it to my audience, it is therefore my job to translate these facts simply, and in my own words, so that my heretofore ignorant audience can understand.

NOW, that being said, he had previously made ginormous posts quoting many, many experts that I have never heard of. I requested that, in the interest of convincing me, that he simply state, in his own words, what a main focal point of his argument was.

He did so admirably, and I now know that he does indeed know what he's talking about, and he's not just mindlessly spouting off other people's work.

Now, I should really, really let the "mixed up medical reports" comment go, because this thread is about 9/11, not JFK. However, I can't, because I'm human and your statement irks me.

Let me explain this "mixed up medical reports" thing once again, in more detail.

According to the offical FBI x-rays, there is a giant hole in JFK's head. According to the official FBI autopsy photos, there is not.

Either the FBI f*cked up on a scale previously unheard of in the entire history of mankind, or something funny's going on.

(Sorry guys, please continue.)

No, he cuts and pastes stuff from other websites without reading it through himself.

Quote:

The entire 9/11 conspiracy theory is based on various discrepencies, whether it's from the lack of a report, the lack of scientific analysis of the rubble, lack of "Evidence" towards anything etc..

No, its based on lots of mental problems

Quote:

Those are discrepencies, if mixed up medical reports are a discrepency than all of those are discrepencies.

Oswald acted alone.

Quote:

Also why do you demand that he explain the conspiracy theory in his own words?

Because I want to know what he is saying. Hell, I want him to know what he is saying.

Quote:

Did he commit the crime?

He is making accusations.

Quote:

Does he need to have some special trademarked form of truth that he invented?

No, but I would like a coherent line of thought.

Quote:

What's wrong with taking the "most educated" ideas and running with them?

If you actually read them and understand what is being said or implied, nothing at all. However, when you just cut and paste the shoddy work of others without even reading it fully yourself, there is a problem.

Quote:

You don't need to be Isaac Newton to believe in or talk about gravity,

No, but you should know what he actually said.

Quote:

so it doesn't really make sense that Geggy would have to write his own story/ideas for this conspiracy theory in order for it to be true.

I just want to know what he thinks happened. It doesn't have to be his own special theory, but he should understand it.

No, but lousy thinking is a bad thing. That leads to Flat Earth Theory, White Man's Burden, nd the Salem Witch Trials. And unfortunatly, because of the wonders of communication, it spreads faster than ever these days. Especially when its spreading a sexy, exciting, but patently false version of went down 9/11.

"many of these discrepencies rely on the assumption that the government is lying."

Isn't that what all "discrepencies" in conspiracy theories boils down to? OH THERE WASNT A REPORT THEY MUST BE COVERING IT UP. THE REPORTS AREN"T ACCURATE TO THE WITNESSES CLAIMS. Some people find bigger, more substantial discrepencies and people think they are smarter and closer to the truth, but really everybody is just trying to fill in the blanks, that, for some reason, the people whom are responsible won't fill in; that is the greatest DISCREPENCY of all conspiracies.

"No, its based on lots of mental problems "

Mental problems are discrepencies.

"I'm not going to throw out every single damned scientific document I can get my hands on"

You guys act like this is some pivotal moment in geggy's 9/11 imockery conspiracy theory history and the tides are finally turning, will geggy FINALLY insert his own words on a single message board post? IT HASNT BEEN DONE BEFORE.

I just don't see how him stating his opinion in his own words is going to make his accusation stronger. I guess personal conviction and the courage to make a difference really go far in todays reality... and yes he does need to start reading the stories he posts but somehow I think asking him for his opinion isn't going to do that.
