To quote Swami and colleagues: "believing that John F. Kennedy was not killed by a lone gunman or that the Apollo moon landings were staged increases the chances that an individual will also believe 9-11 conspiracy theories."

Being someone who tried to research the JFK case a great deal I find it rather unfortunate It got a mention like that in all honesty.

Actually In all seriousness It's just plain dumb. I, and just about anyone else who's actually bothered to research this case in particular for, oh let's say, a whole 5 minutes (and I'd hazard a guess and say Swami wouldn't be one of those people), would be able to tell you something isn't quite right. Or something doesn't quite add up about the official story. Hell, even members of the Warren Commission (those responsible for the official story) itself highlighted such doubts about the authenticity of it. Independent researchers can quite literally tear the story apart and 99.999% prove, for one thing, that Oswald was not the shooter.. and wasn't even on the 6th floor at the time It was taking place. It's practically an impossibility.

Some witnesses report seeing more than one figure in the 6th floor at the time also - if true proves a conspiracy. Some witnesses claim to have seen a gunman from the grassy knoll, as well as hearing a shot and seeing smoke originating from this location. Not forgetting smelling gunpowder - If true can either show a second gunman or show that the OS is incorrect in there final conclusion. Jack Ruby can be proven to have had connections to Oswald and members of the crime organisations said to be involved prior to the assassination - proving the WC lied in at least this area of the case. And to top it all off an investigation conducted on the case in the mid-70's actually concluded that and I quote a "probably conspiracy" had taken place. These just being a couple of quick points about the conspiracy angle of the case...

Undoubtedly a conspiracy had taken place here here in one form or another and there's just no doubt that Oswald didn't fire the fatal shot at all. It's not crazy to suggest a thing - It's because It's so unbelievably obvious to see when you have all the facts. It really is unfortunate to see this case constantly fall into the "Crazy conspiracy theory" category, It certainly doesn't deserve to be there in my humble opinion.

Anyone claiming there was a violation of physical laws that day hasn't the most rudimentary understanding of it because no bomb or other device could create any violation of physical laws. Such arguments simply reveal one's ignorance.

So build a physical model that can completely collapsed by its top 15%.

The model has to support its own weigh. It has to crush its own supports. But the only source of energy is gravity accelerating the falling upper portion. It can't produce enough energy to destroy itself.

But without knowing the weight of steel and concrete on every level of the WTC the potential energy can't be computed. So how does the grade school physics get done without the data?

Are you claiming that the collapse of the twin towers violated some law of physics?
Yes? No?

The grade-school physics in the OS are just that.....grade-school, like first grade. That's the problem with the whole thing.

Physical models already exist and have existed for years- falling dominoes. When the first domino is tipped over and hits the second domino, it produces enough force to overcome the second domino's resistance and it begins to fall in turn. When the second domino hits the third domino, not only does it overcome the third domino's resistance, the force is actually twice the amount of force as before because the second domino is pushing against the third domino while the first domino is still pushing against the second domino. And so on, down the line.

Then, there's the WTC. Each floor was held in air from the external columns to the interior core, so every floor was exactly the same in construction and load bearing capacity as every other floor and no floor added to the structural integrity of any other floor. If enough force was placed upon the first floor so that it would overcome its structural integrity and cause it to collapse, physics dictate that the force would be increasingly capable of overcoming the structural integrity of every other floor below it becuase each collapsing floor was added to the mass that was collapsing. The conspiracy theorists are chronically guilty of ignoring this fact, instead imagining (or being lied to by these damned fool conspiracy web sites) that the WTC had the exact same construction as every other building, when it was the unique construction of the building that caused it to collapse in the way it did to begin with.

The question isn't over whether a building can collapse completely from the top 15%. The question is whether there was enough damage from the impact and the fires that would cause the top 15% to start collapsing to begin with.

That is just further demonstration of why this trivial crap problem does not get resolved.

Where is energy expended DAMAGING THE DOMINOES?

In my washer and paper loop experiment energy must be expended to crush the paper loops. It cannot be rebuilt with the same paper loops. It takes 0.118 joules to crush a loop. The energy comes from the kinetic energy of the falling mass thus reducing its velocity and halting the collapse.

You give us an excellent demonstration of the psychology of rationalizing with nonsense. Correct physics is not nonsense.

There is BUTT-loads of evidence. Piles and piles and piles. But don't look at that. Just claim no evidence and it will go away.

Your washer and paper experiment is a poor analogy. The paper loops are not separated from the structure after the impact so they continue to act as a shock absorber between their respective upper and lower washers throughout the experiment. In the case of the collapse of the towers, it is irrefutably shown that the building is being crushed from the top down, so the individual floors were no longer part of the intact building once structural failure occured. They were part of the wreckage falling down and causing subsequent intact floors to fail. The ony way your experiment would be remotely applicable is if the individual paper tubes were removed in sequence from the top down.

Of course, that doesn't even go into the fact that the towers weren't made out of a twelve inch stack of paper tubes and metal washers. They weren't made out of cardboard boxes either, but that's Richard Gage's failure, not yours.

"Tiny timeframe?" How do You know when the work began? Maybe it was a year They worked on it...

Point is, You cannot claim "Tiny timeframe" because You have no idea what timeframe contained the activities in question.

Fair enough. I was taking your two month claim as a basis. Many Truthers seem to think that the "bomb dog removal" was important, and that only happened for three days.

You have an odd view here, I think. Here's how *I* would do it if it was Me. 10 guys, buddies, paid VERY well by Me, and loyal (therefore) to the max.

Why would high pay make them loyal? I've never understood this aspect of the Conspiracy Theory. If you are employing highly trained mercenaries, why would they not blow the whole thing wide open and make even more money?

You can answer "because they would be killed", but by whom? You would need another ten highly trained mercenaries. And then who would watch them? Another ten?

They enter the building as delivery People, with boxes innocuously marked. They go to the floors to deliver the boxes - maybe every 10 floors? whatever the need was.

How do they get through the sealed doors that prevented access to each tenant's floor? They might be able to presuade some or even most of them that they have a big Dell order, but what if even one won't let them in? They are sitting in a vestibule with explosives. Great.

And then go to the restroom. Change into workman's clothing and do the first 10 positions. Next day or two (however long it takes to do any given floor), in come the "deliveries," up to the next 10 floors needing attention, and so on.

Seriously, I don't think it would take THAT long (They wire highrises in a day or three).

They don't wire highrises in that time! It takes much longer, and it takes months of careful planning and stripping down of the building's fabric. None of which would have been possible in your scenario.

Where would they have actually fixed the explosives? And how would they have guaranteed that they wouldn't be caught? Because that's what they would need - a guarantee. You can't risk your world domination plan on the supposition that you'll probably get away with it!

what the hell is nano thermite, anyway?




we have very few things that are "nano" in real life.

i have a "nana" some people have a "nanny" is nano my grandfather?

nano means really small.

what good is nano anything, to bring down 100 story bldgs?

might have better luck with nuclear bacteria.

No I'm not. The very moment that any force pulled the columns off center...and with the floor being yanked off from their attachments, of course they're going to be yanked off center...they lose all structural integrity and they get mashed up along with the rest of the collapsing wreckage.

You know, like THIS. There's no way, shape, or form that explosives did this damage:

That is just further example of the psychology of the issue. Just disappear any inconvenient reality. So people on one side are supposed to be too stupid to notice the distortions of reality. But in TEN YEARS no engineering school in the nation that put men on the Moon can build a collapsing model.

Now that's an odd accusation, coming from you. In the TEN YEARS you truthers have had to waste everyone's time with these conspriacy daydreams, not a single one of you has been able to successfully model the distribution of controlled demolitions throughout the towers that would be needed to bring them down. You have the blueprints and you have the technical details on how your nanothermite works, so go to it. You don't even need to explain how they got there, simply explain where and how the demolition charges would have had to be planted. You people will NEVER do this, because the very moment you do, you'll realize just how much hogwash these "controlled demolitions" claims really are.

You seem to forget that since you're contesting the (as you put it) "official story" it therefore becomes YOUR responsibility to provide us with an alternative scenario that better fits the facts, and that's ALL the facts, not simply the one or two details you enjoy going over. Until you do, your truther movement is running on empty.

Just loving the OSr retreat and rebuild campaign. You can repeat your crap all day long, it will not make it true, it will just show the low intelligency of the writer.

As said many times before, love to see the OSrs trying to grasp some more straws. Epic.

I've looked at all of the alleged evidence for nearly all of the 911 CTs. None of it confirms any conspiracy.

If you believe it does, take it to court
