Meh, I haven't given Joe Rogan any thought at all since his cameo on Chapelle Show & his YouTube 2 Girls 1 Cup reaction video. His opinion is not the first source I check up on if I'm wondering whether or not a claim has validity, to say the least. Celebrities are often as uninformed about the matters they speak to in rough proportion to the scale of their popularity. Moreso, perhaps, since there's often this sense of "white knight charity and justice" it seems that many in the music/film industry buy into (or are pushed into) as a responsibility and burden of having the public's attention. Especially since Hands Across America and all that in the 80's. Right or wrong, it's the cause that's important apparently.

As for Alex Jones... I never knew anyone considered him a "Zionist Shill". I always considered him a fear-mongering narcissist, too concerned with self-image and his little "Info War Empire" to give a damned about accuracy or accountability. Tabloid trash of the worst kind. Regardless of whether or not some feel he may have a point or brings up good info once in a while - I find it's more fruitful to simply turn to a more reliable source than to waste time sifting through his paranoid ravings for something un-exaggerated, properly represented, and delaced from opinion and speculation.

Falsus in uno - falsus in omnibus.

World Trade Center 7 building? In the big picture, I fail to see where it really matters much. If it fell, if it didn't fall... even if the Trade Center towers hadn't fallen... it was the attack itself (regardless of whether assumed in-side job or Muslim extremists) that set events in motion. The tower collapse was a shocking display that any collapse of WTC7 would have been utterly overlooked, as it generally was.

So for me, the question is.... if it were an inside job, why bother pulling WTC7 at all? Let alone be so sloppy and about it in the face of a near flawless coverup? It doesn't make sense. The models shown of how and why it collapsed due to structural damage and fires can seem on the surface to be questionable and not quite comprehensive enough... I understand that. Yet, they make more sense to me than the leap in logic necessary to attempt to place the square peg WTC7 represents into the round hole that the conspiracy story suggests.

Regardless, if and when I do come across new evidence that requires verification, I would not trust Joe Rogan or Alex Jones to provide a critical, unbias, and accurate analysis of it. That's my take on it anyhow.


One other thing, I was listening to a claim on another forum that top-down demolitions are untenable and unpredictable. That they are never done, rather preferring methods of sequential demolition of supporting pillars from the bottom up - so the structure falls in it's footprint. So I did a search on top-down demolitions, and I found a few videos of a technique they use in France which seems to resemble the Twin Tower collapses rather closely in many regards.





IIRC, this is accomplished by removing/cutting a select portion of the structural supports, with the rest being simultaneously removed via a network of hydrolic (pneumatic?) jacks. The weight of the top floors impacting provides the energy necessary to demolish the floor below - etc.

Oh, and while I'm on the topic... I had to share this for those who haven't seen it yet.

lol, demolition fail.
