So believing airliners could do it ends the issue. 200 tons versus 400,000 tons in less than two hours.
You gotta quit thinking in terms of total mass. There a lot of places where less mass trumps greater mass.

Add to this, the information presented in the Bill Moyers documentary, The Secret Government. The below two quotes from it are of great significance:
"The Director [sic. CIA] was interested in the ability to go to an existing, as he put it “off-the-shelf, self-sustaining, stand alone, entity” that could perform certain activities on behalf of The United States.” – Oliver North to a congressmen in The Secret Government [emp. mine]
“The Secret Government is an interlocking network of official functionaries, spies, mercenaries, ex-generals, profiteers and super-patriots who for a variety of motives operate outside the legitimate institutions of government.” – Bill Moyers in The Secret Government

But without them the "movement" doesn't exist in any meaningful sense!
You seem to be saying that if you removed 'debunkers' from this forum
- Truthers would stop wasting their time here and engage in a genuine campaign
- Truthers would be able to swap ideas more freely here
Actually both are possible even with the debunkers. And in fact the evidence suggests you are wrong. The forum as such only exists because of the debunkers - they keep the discussions going. Without them forums tend to die.
So why would the government pay to continue a discussion that you say they are desperate not to have? It makes no sense.

What I don't get is how " the government " is so often portrayed as some immortal unchanging entity for ever out to get you.
Governments change. How many are still in office who were there 9/11/01 ? Why would a democrat president want to pay people to argue that a previous republican president was not responsible for 9/11 ?
Its a bit like pretending in England that Oliver Cromwell is still calling the shots.

I feel the debunkers, many times, to be a distraction from the main topic, when they pound every statement, belief, and shred of evidence, effectively derailing a topic. I don't need a debunker to keep a thread alive for me, I need genuine interest and participation from others.you are looking at this philosophically, like the "God problem", but the fact is that threads can go a far way and spread truth & information around better when they are not being railroaded purposely by "debunkers". I understand sometimes it is not being done on purpose, but especially in 9/11 threads, this is not always the case. You seem to believe no one would discuss anything without these "debunkers" and I think that is just not the case. Clearly you have not read through all of the replies to your own thread, as there are several good postings indicating otherwise and challenging your original question(s).

They are supposed to be here for damage limitation, but they are doing more damage to their precious OS than they realise!
If you're trying to uphold the OS, at least employ someone with half a bloody brain!

That makes no sense. The conspirators - who were able to pull off an extraordinarily complex and far-reaching plot involving missiles, hijackings, faked military exercises, misdirected planes, hidden security tape and faked investigations involving hundreds of people - are also so stupid that they don't realise after ten years that their paid shills are the only thing that keeps the debate going? And furthermore they only employ bad shills?
And what's more you are happy to spend your time in discussion with people whose sole purpose is apparently to waste it? Doesn't that worry you a bit?
