Kevin Ryan at Dig Within, 12/20/2015:
Eleven years ago, I initiated a discussion about the fact that jet fuel fires could not have melted steel at the World Trade Center. The government agency investigating the WTC destruction responded by holding some of its deliberations in secret. Although its not a secret that jet fuel cant melt steel, due to propaganda from sources like The Washington Post and The Huffington Post, Americans often get confused about what facts like that mean to any national discussion. In a nutshell, what it means is that the molten metal found at the WTC, for which there is a great deal of evidence, cannot be explained by the official 9/11 myth.
Today no one thinks that jet fuel fires can melt steel beamsnot even The Posts new science champion, who doesnt bother to actually use jet fuel or steel beams to teach us about retarded metallurgical things. Instead, he uses a thin metal rod and a blacksmith forge to imply that, if the WTC buildings were made of thin metal rods and there were lots of blacksmith forges there, the thin metal rods would have lost strength and this would be the result. If you buy that as an explanation for what happened at the WTC, you might agree that everyone should just stop questioning 9/11.
This absurd demonstration highlights at least two major problems with Americas ongoing struggle to understand 9/11. The first is that there was a great deal of molten metal at the WTC. Those who know that fact sometimes share internet memes that say Jet Fuel Cant Melt Steel Beams when they want to convey that Thermite Melted Steel at the WTC. The second major problem is that certain mainstream media sources continue to put a lot of energy into dis-informing the public about 9/11.
Sources like The Posts, The New York Times and some alternative media continue to work hard to support the official myth of 9/11. That effort is not easy because they must do so while providing as little actual information about 9/11 as possible. The dumbing down of the average citizen is a full time job for such propagandists. Luckily for them, American students receive almost no historical context that encourages them to think critically or consider ideas that conflict with blind allegiance to their government. When it comes to the WTC, it also helps that almost 80% of Americans are scientifically illiterate.
As media companies attempt to confuse the public about 9/11, they must avoid relating details that might actually get citizens interested in the subject. For example, its imperative that they never mention any of these fourteen facts about 9/11. It is also important to never reference certain people, like the ordnance distribution expert (and Iran-Contra suspect) who managed security at the WTC or the tortured top al Qaeda leader who turned out to have nothing to do with al Qaeda. In fact, to support the official myth of 9/11 these days, media must ignore almost every aspect of the crimes while promoting only the most mindless nonsense they can find. Unfortunately, that bewildering strategy becomes more obvious every day.snip more http://digwithin.net/

For the Unthinking Fuckwit from Purgatory Iron Works and His Idiotic Jet Fuel Demonstration Posted on December 17, 2015 by willyloman
If it (9/11) was a conspiracy, I do not care. Trenton Tye,
genius welder
OK. So we have another phony, Redneck Dixon White fuckwit over at Youtube, a guy by the name of Trenton Tye, who has put together a simpletons version of the Truth regarding what did or did not happen on 9/11.
Tye has taken time from his busy day of working on Youtube videos, a whole 2 minutes mind you, to show the public just how stupid truthers are when it comes to the steel in the Twin Towers.
I, on the other hand, have been researching and writing about those events for the past 8 years and have published over 100 articles of my own work on the subject.
Of course, his substance-free and DEEPLY FLAWED demonstration has been latched upon by several main stream media outlets as the end-all be-all debunking of the Truth advocates out here who say the key evidence in the demolition of the Twin Towers rests in the melted steel.
That is patently false and Tye knows it.
This article, which I will try to make into a video if my computer allows it, and which I will direct toward Tye himself, will pick his ignorant argument apart, piece by piece starting with the first thing that came out of his mouth:
1. If it (9/11) was a conspiracy, I do not care.
Many people do care, Tye, thats why they spend years researching what happened that day. Because, unlike you, some of us (US) do give a shit about finding out who was responsible for the event that killed so many people in New York, Pennsylvania and DC that day and subsequently launched war after war across the Middle East killing scores more (US troops and civilians alike) and leaving 10 times that number scarred for life (US troops and civilians alike). And thats too say nothing of the constitutional rights we all had to give up for the Patriot Act or the trillions of dollars of debt your kids will have to pay for the wars, you fucking imbecile.

Propaganda Cant Melt Steel Beams No, it can't. But it sure as hell can divert people people from seeing that they can be weakened by being crashed into by a enormous airplane.
yes ,it did not have to melt the steel . But the heat was enough to compromise the structural integrity . You won't find any picture showing any melted steel . But you see many pictures of twisted steel.

Thats what any logical person would conclude. With millions of tons of weight setting on the metal supports how long would it take for the steel to give out?
Then the fact that to keep such a secret quiet this long would be near impossible with the amount of man power it would take to compromise both building.
Since it is clearly evident that the collapse of the towers started at the point of plane impact in both towers, you have to believe one of two things if you believe they were brought down by a demolition:
1) That teams planted explosives at the exact places the planes would impact without anyone noticing, and the pilots were knowledgeable of and could hit these exact points. Also, you believe for some reason it took many minutes after the planes hit before the explosives detonated.
or
2) That teams of explosives experts (that no one noticed) were in place at the points of impact and survived the impact. They then planted and detonated explosives after the impact on a suicide mission.
So which one of these scenarios do you believe? And why the need for the planes anyway if the buildings could just brought down with explosives?
I'm still waiting for you to tell me which scenario you actually believe.

Plenty of opportunity to plant the explosives without anyone noticing. And why would the pilots need to know anything?
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
Because the pilots hit the buildings at the exact point where you are saying the explosives are. They would have to know where they are to do that.
So let me get this straight. You really beleive that teams of demolition experts planted explosives around the 90th floors of these buildings, and they did this without anyone noticing even though this would mean ripping out walls, insulation, and plumbing and electrical conduits. Then someone arranged for planes to hit the buildings at these exact points. And then somehow after the impact of the planes, the explosives were detonated. And you think this scenario makes sense?

Because the pilots hit the buildings at the exact point where you are saying the explosives are.
The only one who has even speculated that is you.
No one else has EVER claimed that the explosives were synched up to the planes hitting the buildings.
The only thing you've displayed is your woeful lack of research and your reliance on The Pronouncers of Acceptable Opinion to do your thinking for you.

One of the clearest, most widely seen pictures of the doomed jet's undercarriage was taken by photographer Rob Howard and published in New York magazine and elsewhere (opening page). PM sent a digital scan of the original photo to Ronald Greeley, director of the Space Photography Laboratory at Arizona State University. Greeley is an expert at analyzing images to determine the shape and features of geological formations based on shadow and light effects. After studying the high-resolution image and comparing it to photos of a Boeing 767-200ER's undercarriage, Greeley dismissed the notion that the Howard photo reveals a "pod." In fact, the photo reveals only the Boeing's right fairing, a pronounced bulge that contains the landing gear. He concludes that sunlight glinting off the fairing gave it an exaggerated look. "Such a glint causes a blossoming (enlargement) on film," he writes in an e-mail to PM, "which tends to be amplified in digital versions of imagesthe pixels are saturated and tend to 'spill over' to adjacent pixels." When asked about pods attached to civilian aircraft, Fred E. Culick, professor of aeronautics at the California Institute of Technology, gave a blunter response: "That's bull. They're really stretching."

There were no pilots. The planes were flown by remote control and guided to their point of impact by a beacon transmitting from the towers. The whole op was run from building 7, which is why it was wired and demo'd.
I find it curious that they went for a joy ride to Ohio first then went to the target. That is strange. You would think that they would go straight for the target so that they don't get shot down.
Then the planes at Andrews Air Force base were sent on a mission over the Atlantic Ocean that day. So they were conveniently gone.
Stoney, if you'll note, Tomder's theory on the bulge under that plane being landing gear won't fly. (pun intended) For starters, 767-200ER's are smooth bellied craft. They have no landing gear fairings. Also, their landing gear is located practically behind the jet's wings, and if you'll look, the "bulge" in photos has it well forward of the wings. That's a military jet, probably a tanker filled with jet fuel.
No commercial passenger jet in the world is configured that way, only military planes.
Exactly. That plane is not a standard United 757 or 767. The paint job is proof enough. Someone on another forum has said that he saw a close up of this aircraft on a foreign news broadcast but wasn't taping. It's out there somewhere.
The debunkers are challenged to find a single example of this on any commercial airliner. A google image search of 757 or 767 aircraft underside or something should do it.
It was reported as on the ground and passengers disembarked by the flight tower and authorities at Cleveland Municipal airport. Remember when I told you mcgowanjm was a valuable asset to this forum? This is where we could use his assistance, because that guy was a catalog of links and info, but I think he may have finally succumbed to cancer.

Flight 175. Too Hot to Handle The Photo that Shook Spain
Back in June 2003 La Vanguardia in Barcelona, Spain, published an investigative report on the plane that slammed into the South Tower. The report was a simple affair, it used the photo we see here on the left and wondered what these strange objects attached to the underside of the Flight 175 might be, and whether they were just an optical illusion. After a thorough digital image analysis by a Spanish university, the article came to the conclusion that the objects were three-dimensional in nature and could not have been caused by shadows or reflections.

ANALYSIS OF THE IMAGES OF 11 SEPTEMBER 2001
To verify the possible presence of objects on the underside of the fuselage of the second plane involved in the attack in New York on 11 September.
CONCLUSIONS
The same analysis has been performed on various images. The selected images are fragments of photographs of the attack on 11 September and a Boeing 767-300.
The studied images are taken from different angles of observation.
The detected cylindrical objects cannot be due to shadows caused by the angle of incidence of the sun on the plane, because they always appear to be the same shape and size, though with varying luminosity.
The detected objects have varying luminosity around them because they are in relief (this is the only possible explanation).

You are aware, aren't you, that 4 engine Boeing aircraft have been capable of remote controlled flight since 1984? Now think of the progress in Tech since then. The 2001 Remote tech must have been thousands of times or more better than that in 1984.
Controlled Impact Demonstration
The Controlled Impact Demonstration (or colloquially the Crash In the Desert) was a joint project between NASA and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aimed at acquiring data, as well as demonstrating and testing new technologies, with the intent of improving occupant crash survivability, by crashing a Boeing 720 aircraft. The tests involved the efforts of NASA Ames Research Center, Langley Research Center, Dryden Flight Research Center, the FAA, and General Electric, and required more than 4 years of work before the test occurred. The aircraft was remotely controlled for the tests, and numerous test runs were undertaken prior to performing the actual impact.
Boeing 720 flying under remote control
During the flights the aircraft made approximately 69 approaches, to about 150 feet (46 m) above the prepared crash site, under remote control.
On the morning of December 1, 1984, the test aircraft took off from Edwards Air Force Base, California, made a left-hand departure and climbed to an altitude of 2,300 feet (700 m). The aircraft was remotely flown by NASA research pilot Fitzhugh Fulton from the NASA Dryden Remotely Controlled Vehicle Facility... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Impact_Demonstration
He didn't say no pilots were killed. He just said they weren't flying the plane. If he is correct then the pilots you mention would have been murdered when the planes landed somewhere.
So it is disingenous of you to say because some pilots did in fact die that they couldn't have been murdered elsewhere.
I'm not saying that happened that way. I'm just saying what you posted doesn't disprove anything.

The NTSB reported both jets speed at 540 mph at impact. Commercial jets like 767's don't have the muscle to achieve those speeds at cruising altitude, let alone the heavier air at 1000 ft. They're designed for efficiency. Military planes, otoh, are operating on our dime, so they don't have to concern themselves with fuel efficiency. They're built for performance. Of course, my theory goes out the window if you're willing to suspend the laws of physics as the pro-government conspiracy theorists have tried to do. Hell, on that magical day, they had 110 story buildings just miraculously collapsing freefall speeds for no reason.

There was a rumor floating around that a plane had crashed and exploded out by the VA Hospital on the 35 Bypass west of Dayton. Film crews responded and found out it was BS...
I was sitting out on the back porch when 2 F16s flew over (about 1700-1730hrs) heading from West to East and they were breaking the sound barrier, sonic booms... IIRC they were from the National Guard Base out on 73 south of Springfield...

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
Still, the 9/11 Commission did brilliantly, answering all of the questions the public had (except most of the victims family members questions) and pinned blame on all the people responsible (although no one so much as lost their job), determining the attacks were a failure of imagination because I dont think anyone could envision flying airplanes into buildings except the Pentagon and FEMA and NORAD and the NRO.

In John Farmers book: The Ground Truth: The Story Behind Americas Defense on 9/11", the author builds the inescapably convincing case that the official version... is almost entirely untrue...
The 9/11 Commission now tells us that the official version of 9/11 was based on false testimony and documents and is almost entirely untrue. The details of this massive cover-up are carefully outlined in a book by John Farmer, who was the Senior Counsel for the 9/11 Commission.
Farmer, Dean of Rutger Universities' School of Law and former Attorney General of New Jersey, was responsible for drafting the original flawed 9/11 report.
Does Farmer have cooperation and agreement from other members of the Commission? Yes. Did they say Bush ordered 9/11? No. Do they say that the 9/11 Commission was lied to by the FBI, CIA, Whitehouse and NORAD? Yes. Is there full documentary proof of this? Yes.
Farmer states...at some level of the government, at some point in time there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened... I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described . The [Norad air defense] tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years. This is not spin.
The 9/11 Commission head, Thomas Kean, was the Republican governor of New Jersey. He had the following to say... We to this day dont know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us, it was just so far from the truth. . . " When Bush's own handpicked commission failed to go along with the cover up and requested a criminal investigation, why was nothing done?
9/11 Commission member and former US Senator, Bob Kerrey, says, "No one is more qualified to write the definitive book about the tragedy of 9/11 than John Farmer. Fortunately, he has done so. Even more fortunately the language is clear, alive and instructive for anyone who wants to make certain this never happens again."
With the only "official" 9/11 report now totally false, where do we go from here? Who is hurt by these lies? The families of the victims of 9/11 have fought, for years, to get to the truth. For years, our government has hidden behind lies and secrecy to deny them closure.

Just imagine how this planning session between Bush, Rummy and Cheney must have gone:
BUSH: So, what's the plan again?
CHENEY: Well, we need to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. So what we've decided to do is crash a whole bunch of remote-controlled planes into Wall Street and the Pentagon, say they're real hijacked commercial planes, and blame it on the towelheads; then we'll just blow up the buildings ourselves to make sure they actually fall down.
RUMSFELD: Right! And we'll make sure that some of the hijackers are agents of Saddam Hussein! That way we'll have no problem getting the public to buy the invasion.
CHENEY: No, Don, we won't.
RUMSFELD: We won't?
CHENEY: No, that's too obvious. We'll make the hijackers Al Qaeda and then just imply a connection to Iraq.
RUMSFELD: But if we're just making up the whole thing, why not just put Saddam's fingerprints on the attack?
CHENEY: (sighing) It just has to be this way, Dick. Ups the ante, as it were. This way, we're not insulated if things go wrong in Iraq. Gives us incentive to get the invasion right the first time around.
BUSH: I'm a total idiot who can barely read, so I'll buy that. But I've got a question. Why do we need to crash planes into the Towers at all? Since everyone knows terrorists already tried to blow up that building complex from the ground up once, why don't we just blow it up like we plan to anyway, and blame the bombs on the terrorists?
RUMSFELD: Mr. President, you don't understand. It's much better to sneak into the buildings ourselves in the days before the attacks, plant the bombs and then make it look like it was exploding planes that brought the buildings down. That way, we involve more people in the plot, stand a much greater chance of being exposed and needlessly complicate everything!
CHENEY: Of course, just toppling the Twin Towers will never be enough. No one would give us the war mandate we need if we just blow up the Towers. Clearly, we also need to shoot a missile at a small corner of the Pentagon to create a mightily underpublicized additional symbol of international terrorism -- and then, obviously, we need to fake a plane crash in the middle of fucking nowhere in rural Pennsylvania.
RUMSFELD: Yeah, it goes without saying that the level of public outrage will not be sufficient without that crash in the middle of fucking nowhere.
CHENEY: And the Pentagon crash -- we'll have to do it in broad daylight and say it was a plane, even though it'll really be a cruise missile.
BUSH: Wait, why do we have to use a missile?
CHENEY: Because it's much easier to shoot a missile and say it was a plane. It's not easy to steer a real passenger plane into the Pentagon. Planes are hard to come by.
BUSH: But aren't we using two planes for the Twin Towers?
CHENEY: Mr. President, you're missing the point. With the Pentagon, we use a missile, and say it was a plane.
BUSH: Right, but I'm saying, why don't we just use a plane and say it was a plane? We'll be doing that with the Twin Towers, right?
CHENEY: Right, but in this case, we use a missile. (Throws hands up in frustration) Don, can you help me out here?
RUMSFELD: Mr. President, in Washington, we use a missile because it's sneakier that way. Using an actual plane would be too obvious, even though we'll be doing just that in New York.
BUSH: Oh, OK.
RUMSFELD: The other good thing about saying that it was a passenger jet is that that way, we have to invent a few hundred fictional victims and account for a nonexistent missing crew and plane. It's always better when you leave more cover story to invent, more legwork to do and more possible holes to investigate. Doubt, legwork and possible exposure -- you can't pull off any good conspiracy without them.
BUSH: You guys are brilliant! Because if there's one thing about Americans -- they won't let a president go to war without a damn good reason. How could we ever get the media, the corporate world and our military to endorse an invasion of a secular Iraqi state unless we faked an attack against New York at the hands of a bunch of Saudi religious radicals? Why, they'd never buy it. Look at how hard it was to get us into Vietnam, Iraq the last time, Kosovo?
CHENEY: Like pulling teeth!
RUMSFELD: Well, I'm sold on the idea. Let's call the Joint Chiefs, the FAA, the New York and Washington, D.C., fire departments, Rudy Giuliani, all three networks, the families of a thousand fictional airline victims, MI5, the FBI, FEMA, the NYPD, Larry Eagleburger, Osama bin Laden, Noam Chomsky and the fifty thousand other people we'll need to pull this off. There isn't a moment to lose!
BUSH: Don't forget to call all of those Wall Street hotshots who donated $100 million to our last campaign. They'll be thrilled to know that we'll be targeting them for execution as part of our thousand-tentacled modern-day bonehead Reichstag scheme! After all, if we're going to make martyrs -- why not make them out of our campaign paymasters? Shit, didn't the Merrill Lynch guys say they needed a refurbishing in their New York offices?
RUMSFELD: Oh, they'll get a refurbishing, all right. Just in time for the "Big Wedding"!

In the summer of 2000, the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), a neo-conservative think tank riddled with soon to be Bush administration officials and advisors, issued a document calling for the radical restructuring of U.S. government and military policies. It advocated the massive expansion of defense spending, the re-invasion of Iraq, the military and economic securing of Afghanistan and Central Asia, increased centralized power and funds for the CIA, FBI, and NSA, among a slew of other policies that would, in the near future, be enacted upon their ascension to power.
In the same document, they cite a potential problem with their plan. Referring to the goals of transforming the U.S. and global power structure, the paper states that because of the American Public's slant toward ideas of democracy and freedom, "this process of transformation is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."

As for the JFK magic bullet its actually been prove to be accurate by a group in Australia who actually made the exact same shot.
Oh for crying out loud!
Now I've heard everything.
You don't have a clue as to what the term "magic bullet" even refers to, do you?
Anyways, Oswald was a poor marksman who used a shitty rifle.
How Good a Shot was Oswald?
Oswald had served in the Marines several years before the JFK assassination, and had been trained and tested in rifle shooting. The Warren Commission needed to show that he was a better marksman than the experts from the US Army and the FBI.
Oswalds Marine Rifle Marksmanship Scores
In the late 1950s, US Marines were categorised at three levels of shooting ability, according to the scores they achieved at a standardised test of their accuracy:
In December 1956, after a very intensive 3 weeks training period (Warren Commission Hearings, vol.11, p.302), Oswald scored 212: two marks above the minimum for a sharpshooter.
In May 1959, he scored 191: one mark above the minimum for a marksman.
Colonel Allison Folsom interpreted the results for the Warren Commission:
The Marine Corps consider that any reasonable application of the instructions given to Marines should permit them to become qualified at least as a marksman. To become qualified as a sharpshooter, the Marine Corps is of the opinion that most Marines with a reasonable amount of adaptability to weapons firing can become so qualified. Consequently, a low marksman qualification indicates a rather poor shot and a sharpshooter qualification indicates a fairly good shot.
The Mannlicher Carcano rifle that was discovered on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, however, was a cheap old weapon (Warren Commission Hearings, vol.4, p.29).
It was examined by the FBIs firearms specialist, who stated that:
Every time we changed the adjusting screws to move the crosshairs in the telescopic sight in one direction it also affected the movement of the impact or the point of impact in the other direction. We fired several shots and found that the shots were not all landing in the same place, but were gradually moving away from the point of impact.
Ronald Simmons of the US Army also examined the rifle, and found problems with the bolt and the trigger mechanism:
There were several comments made particularly with respect to the amount of effort required to open the bolt. There was also comment made about the trigger pull in the first stage the trigger is relatively free, and it suddenly required a greater pull to actually fire the weapon. The pressure to open the bolt was so great that that we tended to move the rifle off the target.

Eyewitnesses Recalled Explosions, No Alarms or Sprinklers
The collapses of the Twin Towers were witnessed firsthand by scores of people, most of them emergency responders. The majority of those accounts have been suppressed by the state for years. In August of 2005, the New York Times published the single largest and most authoritative body of eyewitness evidence yet assembled, as a result of winning a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. 1 Another body of evidence, which we have yet to examine, is a set of recordings of calls processed by the 911 system on the day of 9/11/01 and released in 2006. 2
Accounts Earlier Made Public
Prior to the release of the oral histories, eyewitness reports with descriptions of the World Trade Center building collapses came from a variety of diverse sources, such as mainstream media, documentaries, and the Web.
Louie Cacchioli, was one of the first firefighters to enter the South Tower as it burned. A 20-year veteran of the fire department, Cacchioli told People Weekly: 3
I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get in position to evacuate workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off. We think there were bombs set in the building.
Eyewitness Jeff Birnbaum, president of Broadway Electrical Supply Co., New York, recalled events in the South Tower:
When we got to about 50 feet from the South Tower, we heard the most eerie sound that you would ever hear. A high-pitched noise and a popping noise made everyone stop. We all looked up. At the point, it all let go. The way I see it, it had to be the rivets. The building let go. There was an explosion and the whole top leaned toward us and started coming down. 4
Eyewitness Neil deGrasse Tyson recounted his recollection of explosions at the onset of the collapses in an e-mail he sent to his family on the day after the attack:
I hear a second explosion in WTC 2, then a loud, low-frequency rumble that precipitates the unthinkable -- a collapse of all the floors above the point of explosion. First the top surface, containing the helipad, tips sideways in full view. Then the upper floors fall straight down in a demolition-style implosion, taking all lower floors with it, even those below the point of the explosion. 5 ... As I dress for survival: boots, flashlight, wet towels, swimming goggles, bicycle helmet, gloves, I hear another explosion followed by a now all-too familiar rumble that signaled the collapse of WTC 1, the first of the two towers to have been hit. I saw the iconic antenna on this building descend straight down in an implosion twinning the first.
The video 9/11, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold contains several excerpts of video reports in which witnesses describe what they saw and heard. In the first, a reporter gives the following account:
The chief of safety of the fire department of New York City told me he received word of the possibility of a secondary device: that is another bomb going off. He tried to get his men out as quickly as he could, but he said that there was another explosion which took place and according to his theory he thinks that there were actually devices that were planted within the building.
The second excerpt records the impressions of an amateur videographer:
45 minutes into the taping that we were doing there was an explosion -- it was way up where the fire was -- and the whole building at that point bellyed out, in flames, and everybody ran.
The third excerpt, a man in talk-show format panel states:
I was about five blocks away when I heard explosions -- three thuds -- and turned around to see the building we just got out of tend to tip over and fold in on itself.
The final clip shows a man in a hospital bed, with a video banner reading "AMERICA RESPONDS". He states:
and all of a sudden it sounded like gunfire -- you know, bang bang bang bang bang -- then all of a sudden three big explosions.
Neil deGrasse Tyson provided a graphic description of the South Tower collapse in an e-mail sent to his family and friends on 9/12/01.
John Bussey, foreign editor for the Wall Street Journal described the collapse of the South Tower thusly:
I heard this metallic roar, looked up and saw what I thought was just a peculiar site of individual floors, one after the other exploding outward. I thought to myself, My God, theyre going to bring the building down. And they, whoever they are, had set charges. In fact the building was imploding down. I saw the explosions, and I thought, This is not a good place to be, because were too close to the building, and its too easy for the building to topple over. 6

No you haven't! Not even close! As long as you listen to ct nuts you will never hear it all! 8|
There is nothing wrong with questioning the official opinion its just crazy to believe everyone is in the cabal! Most government's want to sweep everything under the rug because it means they will have to deal with it ie Slick Willie! Some like twisting events into something they can use to push their agenda ie Obama.
RUMSFELD: Well, I'm sold on the idea. Let's call the Joint Chiefs, the FAA, the New York and Washington, D.C., fire departments, Rudy Giuliani, all three networks, the families of a thousand fictional airline victims, MI5, the FBI, FEMA, the NYPD, Larry Eagleburger, Osama bin Laden, Noam Chomsky and the fifty thousand other people we'll need to pull this off. There isn't a moment to lose!
Amazing they were able to pull it off. Those devious bastards!
Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
You scamper around this thread and this forum spewing your bovine excrement but the record shows that you can't answer a simple question, even after your stupid question received attention.
Why do you think Bush didn't want an investigation into the biggest crime against America in history?
"no gnu taxes" hasn't a clue. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. But you've got time to play screen writer and pen a silly, retarded little scene from a movie in your mind. Pathetic.
You're just another American Sucker that has been conned by professionals. You should be ashamed of yourself. Your country has been looted and your children's future has been spent by some of "humanity's" worst scum that ever walked the planet.
Shove that book up somewhere dark, if there's any room.

Exactly why do you take their complaints as proof the buildings were brought down by controlled demolitions, or whatever your tinfoil beliefs are?
Answer:
You're a kook.

You're a kook.
"The limits of debate are established in this country before the debate even begins. Everybody else is marginalized, made to seem like Communists or some other disloyal person. Kook, theres a word! Now its conspiracy. Theyve made that something that cant even be entertained for a minute that powerful people might get together and have a plan? Doesnt happen! Youre a kook, youre a conspiracy buff!" George Carlin

Why were Bush and Cheney allowed to testify in secret, off the record, not under oath and behind closed doors?
And what is that supposed to prove, outside of your tinfoil ruminations?

George Carlin was a kook. He spent the later part of his life bitching about the evils of golf courses.

Well, he's delved into that 50 year old Kennedy assassination plot. I'm waiting to hear about how Bush and the neocons killed Lincoln.
And then there's that Titanic conspiracy....

Just wanted to mention - great article. Kevin Ryan did a great job of debunking the disinformation posted by the blacksmith guy.
The blacksmith guy is a clueless dolt, yet the usual suspects here fawn over his "theory" as if it were gospel.
It's a documented fact that jet fuel is basically kerosene and will only burn at 800 degrees or so.
Not to mention that the smoke coming from the fires indicated that the fires were oxygen-starved.
It never surprises me to see the Official Government Fairy Tale cultists and shills descend on threads like this one and immediately begin to spout their nonsense.
