You're providing no facts here.

So how about you help out your own story before you look like just another troll?

You must be new at this. In the six years since 9/11, not one person has presented any evidence that hasn't been refuted, much less presenting the massive necessary to refute the overwhelming evidence against you. You must think rational people are idiots to try to foist that nonsense on us.

Oh wow...



Yeah, I'm the one that's new at this

Please go do some research, dude. And don't only use websites with .gov on the end. Try others as well.

Indeed, you are a true 9/11 Denier. To make such a ridiculous claim in the face of thousands of non-government witnesses and investigations consisting of predominately non-government structural engineers, physicists, chemists, architects, and forensic scientists means you don't have a clue what you are talking about. You don't even understand that the evidence of what happened on 9/11 never came from the government to begin with. You don't even know that the evidence, methodologies, and conclusions of the investigations like NIST are fully open to everyone and that any expert in the relevant fields the world over could tear those investigations apart if there were reason to.

And you ignore all of the people that have spoken out against the official story including engineers, scientists, ex-military, and ex-CIA agents. You ignore all evidence that doesn't suit you. You ignore all the concrete evidence, and only focus on basic elementary points and technicalities.

Please do research.

40 years ago?!! Now, that is REAL planning ahead!

First of all, I said "what if". That means I'm speculating and asking...WHAT IF.

I knew you'd jump on that, because you have a weak argument. Like I said above, you're jumping on minor technicalities and putting words in people's mouths. You know you have nothing.

Second of all, research the 1976 drills involving hijacked airplanes.

Ah, yes, speculate wildly and dispense with the necessity of presenting any evidence. Classic 9/11 denial.

Remind you of anyone? I recall someone speculating that it'd take thousands of people without any evidence to back it up.

Hypocrite.

Yup, I knew it. Classic 9/11 Denial. The same thing was said in 2002. You ARE a newbie at this.

The fact that you use the word "newbie" discredits you.

See, you're putting words in my mouth. Great way to debate, dude.

You can't even address the facts and what I'm saying. You have to venture into other things and say things I never said, and claim I said them.

Pathetic

There is no question at all that I am definitely focusing on the concrete by showing that 9/11 Truthers do not have a clue that they have no evidence to back them up. I'm sorry, but the truth requires that we be really tough on you 9/11 Deniers.

I'm sorry that you live in a delusional fantasy world where your precious government never does anything wrong, but it's time to grow up, my friend. You're not in elementary school anymore. You don't have those heart warming history lessons to deal with anymore. It's time to look at the facts no matter how ugly they are.

Of course, if you have evidence that any of those many hundreds of investigators were made to shut up so successfully just like the 8,000 people at the Pentagon ULTIMA1 claims the government threated, please don't keep us in suspense!

It doesn't take shutting up hundreds of investigators. All it takes is controlling the top ones.

The government keeps a lot of secrets.

Unless you've personally spoken to every single witness to a 9/11 event, and gotten their testimony on tape, and it's recent, then really, you can't claim they haven't spoken out.

The mainstream media wouldn't cover it. So it's easy for you to claim no one has said anything.

Also, I'm sure most of them are like you - they live in a delusional fantasy world where they think their government protects them and would never do such a thing, so they wouldn't give what they saw even a second's worth of questioning.

False analogy. Most every European nation and the UN believed Saddam had the capability. DO read the UN documents in case you forgot. And it is irrelevant to the discussion anyway.

It's not irrelevant and was an appropriate analogy. Just because you had a weak answer to it doesn't make it otherwise.

Having the capability and possessing said weapons are quite different.

DO catch up.

You seem obsessed with 2002. There has been new evidence since then. So DO catch up.

Also, nobody outside of children under the age of 10 uses the term "newbie" anymore.

Grow up.

How irrational does one have to be to entertain the thought that those who built the WTC towers from 1966-1971 had the foresight and the vision to plant explosives that would be set off at the exact locations two aircraft not even on the drawing boards at the time would hit so precisely 30 years later?

Yep, because I said the average guy that was working on the construction was the one that planted it.

Nice putting words in my mouth.....again

Get new tactics and research the 1976 drills.

How about an even simpler scenario. The governemnt let it happen, just like another Pearl Harbor.

Why would it take thousands of people? If we are supposed to believe that 19 hijackers pulled off 9/11 why would it take thousands for it to be an inside job.

Are 19 Saudi hijackers better then any of our special ops units?

Small groups of special ops units like the SEALS have pulled off large missions. So please explain to me why it would take thousands of people to make 9/11 an inside job?

Well that would depend on what you think happened on 9/11. Do you think missiles were used on flight 11 & 175. If so who modified these aircraft? You can not just simply slap three missiles on the bottom of a commercial aircraft. You would need a aerospace engineer to draw up blueprints, determine how the missiles would change the flight characteristics of the aircraft, someone would need to fabricate all the necessary parts for the installation and find a discrete location to install them. Then the aircraft would need a series of test flights. This kind of project would take months and require a tremendous amount of people.

1. Compartmentalization
2. Secrecy Oaths
3. Death threats to individual and family
4. bottom line: theres a lot of ways to keep people in the dark about what they are really doing and working on, or to keep them quiet. Could just kill them. Simple as that. KIA. MIA abroad. whatever they fancy. Also, probably a small number of people knew what was really being done... just study a little about how intell agencies work.

oh and that $40 billion intelligence black budget you got

did i just answer your question?

[edit on 14-10-2007 by blahdiblah]

Again, in answer to the OP's title question, I refer him to Michael Ruppert's "Crossing the Rubicon". Please read it if you would like a fully considered answer to your question. He presents facts to the reader in the style of a court of law and asks you (the jury) to make your own conclusions.

Oh, and you mention 40 billion? Try 2.3 trillion that the Pentacon have lost and dont know where it is.

lol i just did a quick google and thats the figure i got hahahahhaa 2.3 trillion is brilliant

There is no way I think Bush and his cronies had the time or organizational skills necessary to plan something as big as not only carrying off 9/11, but covering it up as well.

Yes, thats why i think a better sceme was to just let it happen. Not much planning.

Since NORAD was busy with excercises so they might have been slower to react then normal. Also having planes sent to monitor a Russian exxercise pulled planes out of ther normal areas of patrol.

Dodging? I was make an obvious point. To help you out, I'll repeat the post:

---
This is one of the dirty little secrets 9/11 Truthers are unable to address. Not only would it require a substantial number of people to be involved in all of the pre-event activities required for a plan to be pulled off, e.g., planting explosives in the WTC towers, getting NORAD to "stand-down", planning what to do with aircraft and their passengers that "didn't" hit the Pentagon, there would be a far greater number of people having no prior knowledge of the plan who would have known that the explanations of what happened AFTER the events didn't jive with what they knew.

Add to that the many hundreds of non-government investigators and forensic scientists who would have had to either lie or be threatened to put out what would have to be false reports from NIST, FEMA, and ASCE.

Necessarily, thousands of people would know of either the plan in advance and/ or that the the explanations post-event didn't jive with what they personally knew.

The peculiar notion by 9/11 conspiracy buffs that such an event could be planned, executed successfully, and covered-up is far beyond absurd and irrational.

That's why the 9/11 Truth Movement is known by its proper name: the The 9/11 Denial Movement.

---

Now, just how many people do you reckon would have to be both in on it OR know something was not right after the fact IF?

Please be specific with numbers. Don't exclude anyone, ok?

Is that why you can't tell me? Gosh....

You're providing no facts here.

The burden of proof is on you. After all YOU believe it's a conspiracy, not me.

Get back too us when you've got the numbers.

Amazing. So if NO person saw or retrieved 757 parts from the Pentagon, but retrieved something else or nothing at all, they wouldn't wonder why the government, the airlines, the passengers' relatives were saying it was definitely AA 77?

And wouldn't talk about it? Thousands of people would just naturally keep quiet?

Amazing.

You really need to catch up with reality.

Cheney took over command of NORAD. That was all that was needed to make them continue playing war games and ignore the incoming planes.

Please watch the documentary I linked in my previous post.

Edit: Ah sorry... Im confused by the way you quote people... maybe you are realizing there was a conspiracy? It seems so in some of your posts. Please clarify.
