Not really unless you do it backwards at 33 1/3 rpm's. The problem is everyone is citing Newton. So I'll just move on for now. I will leave this topic the same way I came in and so will you. I had no interest other than watching the vid to see if there was something new or different. I'm glad I did. I'll leave you guardians of the absolute truth to your own devices. I have my hands full with chem trails atmospheric aerosols and geo engineering. But thar's off topic.

Its more than just stopping toxic hoaxes. Y'all wouldn't have spent so much time on the matter unless you thought that a conspiracy was even possible in the first place. I can't even get a pass by stating that for now, its simply an unresolved mystery as far as I am concerned. I have to be called out as willfully ignorant on that stance, rather than left to my own devices. I'm not saying a US government conspiracy is responsible for the events on 9 / 11. I will state though that the Patriot Act was a direct result of 9 / 11 and that 9 / 11 is used as an excuse over and over again to take away our rights and liberties en masse. What is the most common defense of accusations of a conspiracy in cases like this ? They are impossible on levels or scales required and its just a result of mass incompetency on the part of our government. Funny how the incompetency factor is defended so vigorously. While it may be true, nothing is being done about it. Our government is still just as incompetent or maybe more so as it was on 9 / 11 as evidenced by the Boston Marathon bombing. The Russians gave us the bombers on a silver platter and we still blew it. One can almost argue that it willfully blew it. But once again, instead of going down that road, its just another example of incompetence. Those that accept and defend this incompetence are just as much a problem as those who carry out these heinous acts. There is no skepticism to be found in accepting incompetence. That is willful ignorance if y'all wish to know how I feel about the matter. Obviously though, there was a major conspiracy by Al Qaeda at the very least. Or is this matter in dispute as well ? My OCD is not evidence for your hoax. I cannot abide the liars, hucksters, and con men in the conspiracy industry. I think you'll remember we've been at odds before on various topics, almost always involving a conspiracy theory you were promoting. When I dig into one of these it's not an endorsement in any sense. I'm not defending any of the characters in the narrative you're promoting, I'm attacking the narrative. I'd like to see public discourse conducted honestly. Conspiracy mongering is toxic to that. If we deal with people we disagree with honestly instead of painting them as the monsters our egoes would like them to be we may make real progress. Seeing shadowy figures lurking behind every bit of bad news may be comforting, but it prevents seeing that bad news for what it is, and solutions to our problems for what they might be.

Reagan's Star Wars hoax. It brought down the Soviet Union. Bankrupted it out of existence. How many people were involved in that and still the secret was kept ? And for many years subsequent to the fall of the USSR.
Our government is capable of doing anything. It put a man on the moon with rinky dink technology compared to today's in just 6 or so years after the goal was announced.
Why haven't we gone back to the moon since ? Because someone lost the blueprints for the Saturn V. No, it's not. It can't violate the laws of physics. It can't do anything without paying people (real, flesh & blood mortal people) to do them. And it can't control those people once they leave work. Going to the moon was a straightforward technological challenge. Hard, but no new laws of physics involved. You'll notice we don't have fusion generators yet. Oh, right—the oil companies conspired to suppress it. Of course. Nobody lost the blueprints to the Saturn V, we lost the willingness to keep paying for the program. It was staggeringly expensive. And I'd love to discuss the history of the 20th century, particularly regarding the economic collapse of the USSR, but I have to go meet with the Trilateral Commission about setting world Thorium prices and covering up those 200 mpg carburetor designs.

Whaaaat?! Do you jest? are you suggesting we didn't go to the moon? Do you believe that there was only ONE set of blueprints?!

Lazy8 wrote:How about another option: poorly informed. I would like to tell you to read the NIST report, but NIST's web site is down, hostage to the debt ceiling battle. You can read an archived draft of the NIST WTC 7 report at AE911's site. Can't vouch for the chain of custody but until NIST is back online it's what I can find quickly. If you can't be bothered to read the actual evidence I suppose we could play Who's the Bigger Authority. If a list of people who spent at least five minutes signing a petition trumps the work of an eminent group of academics and engineers who spent 3 years and $40M writing this report then my credibility won't make any difference. But the important things are what was said, not who said them. And that is what should matter here. I want to repeat another invitation here, an invitation to think this thru. I want you to ponder this: if this group is right, the NIST report authors are dolts/dupes/in on it, and a whole bunch of even less-plausible things have to be true. It's not enough to say that explosives were used to bring down the WTC buildings. All the rest of the events of the day—the four hijackings, the crash into the Pentagon, the trail of the hijackers—are all linked to this, and those things have to be explained as part of this vast, invisible, airtight conspiracy. Yes, I'm aware that there is an entire industry geared up to sell you a story about this. It has been 12 years since 9/11/01. Since then the most secretive organizations in our government have seen their dirtiest secrets leak. Think about the scale of the conspiracy required to pull off anything like the events of 9/11/01 as the conspiracy industry would have it, and ask yourself: where are they? Why haven't any of them come forward, as Edward Snowden and Pvt. Manning did? How is it that the vast army responsible hasn't had a single leak, a single deathbed confession, a single ex-wife ratting on them? How is it that a government that can't keep track of laptops full of social security numbers can keep the most monstrous crime ever committed in our lifetimes a secret? It's not enough to say "I wouldn't put it past them." You need to think thru just what it would take for them to put it past all of us, and ask yourself why a group that all-powerful couldn't even fake some nukes in Iraq.

Spot on, Mr. Infinity! i recall stating to CTM eons ago when he proffered up a Bush Administration conspiracy/cover-up, that it was amazing that the Presidents cabinet couldn't keep the Valerie Plame debacle under wraps, but boy oh boy something as monstrous as the possibility of our government rigging the WTC to blow was and still is a well kept secret. Uncanny that it still merits this much thought here on RP all these years later!
