In light of new information regarding what went on leading up to and during the 9/11 terrorist attack, i have done a complete 180 on whether or not I believe the mainstream story we have been told.There was simply too much to be gained, starting from the WTC lease holder himself, who earned 7 Billion dollars from WTC's collapse, to the bush administration and neo cons who needed a catastrophic event inorder to implement their strategic wars for us to deny that they were involved.In retrospect it seems that neither sadaam or bin laden would dared to provoke the US in such a manner as to ensure their own destruction. here's the 1st of an 18 part documentary to explain some of this, which i dont believe all of it but its info nonetheless http://youtube.com/watch?v=Odp1FO0Vmuw&mode=related&search=

There are a lot of unexplained things about 9/11. A plane definitely did not hit the Pentagon...
10/21/2007 8:33:05 PM
^sometimes i feel that waybut then I say that I really dont know what all went on.
10/21/2007 8:53:57 PM
^^ Really? Is that opinion a result of careful examination of available evidence or did you just see a flash video that says it was a missile?
10/21/2007 8:54:52 PM
one thing i've always been interested in seeing is the traffic video footage from around the pentagon that would have definitely recorded the plane on its way to the building, assuming that THAT part of that shitty flash video was indeed true.

If you actually open your mind up and look at all the evidence that has been compiled on this subject, there is no way you can truly believe that at the very least Bush and Cheney knew about the attacks before they happened. At the worst, they were behind it. I'm beginning to think more towards the latter. Apparently, files related to the Enron and Worldcom scandals were in WTC Building 7 and they were destroyed when that building was brought down. Also, the guy who owned the lease for the WTC bought it for $15 million about 5 months before the attacks. During that time he re-worked his insurance policy to cover terrorist attacks. When the attacks happened, he ended up getting $7 billion (with a B) from it. Also, the morning of 9/11 Cheney took control of NORAD... the first time in history it wasn't controlled by a general. He never issued a command to bring down the airplanes despite the fact that they were very off course. Personally, after viewing as much of the evidence as I have there are just too many facts that startle me for me to believe it was completely terrorists behind it. But if you want to shut the door on ever knowing what really happened that day, then just go on being the sheep that you are.

Not this shit again. You've fallen into the normal self-congratulatory conspiracist mentality that anyone who doesn't agree with you is a close-minded sheep who lacks your superior intellect and independent thought process. You're completely ignoring the possibility that those who doubt are actually well read individuals who don't form opinions based solely on catchy flash videos.Also you should probably go ahead and drop $5 on another screen name if you want anyone to take you seriously.
10/21/2007 9:45:24 PM
I'd be more inclined to not be a "self-congratulatory conspiracist" if someone would please, please, please refute some of this evidence instead of just dismissing it as ridiculous. Trust me, I would love to believe that my government was not behind this attack. But the evidence that exists suggests to the contrary and any rational person who looks at some of it for less than 5 minutes would admit that something doesn't add up. So please, enlighten me as to why none of this is true. You don't even have to do it, point me to a video or anything that proves me wrong. But please don't dismiss it without even considering the possibility. That's called ignorance.P.S. You're sn is a character that Gary Busey (that crazy guy who had his own show on Comedy Central) played in a movie from 20 years ago, so don't give me shit about mine.[Edited on October 21, 2007 at 9:51 PM.

10/21/2007 9:49:51 PM
What is there to refute? You've made passing references to several coincidences with absolutely no evidence to support your claims.No one is stopping you from making an intelligent case except yourself.
10/21/2007 9:55:31 PM
Ok, let's start with the fact that the buildings were brought down by demolitions. This is one of the more known pieces of evidence so hopefully you'll have something to refute it with. The fact that these buildings fell down so fast and in such a controlled manner, were the first steel structures to collapse due to fire, and the fact that Building 7 collapsed despite the fact that there really was no damage to it. Also, firefighters and policemen reported hearing explosions prior to the buildings coming down.Please try to keep this civil and just attack my argument, not me. Also, please try to actually answer the question and not dance around it.
10/21/2007 10:03:00 PM
What exactly is your proof that it was brought down by a controlled demolition?A 10 second google search will show you a plethora of articles by engineers who explain why it fell in the manner that it did. Contrary to your claim, there was significant damage to WTC 7. There are a number of pictures that make it clear that much of it was scooped out by the collapse of towers 1 and 2.
10/21/2007 10:07:55 PM
Thank you. Exactly the answer I expected and was not hoping for.

10/21/2007 11:46:46 PM
^ ok none of the points you mention are the questions that i'm concerned about.here are the things that make me think it was partly an inside job1. A neo conservative think tank headed by cheney, rumsfeld, and others in 2000 wrote a paper that outlined what the U.S. must do in order to be dominant in this century. One of the main goals was to change american foreign and domestic policies and that could only be accomplished either in the long run or if a major event "like pearl harbor" were to happen. 2. The soon to be axis of evil also just happened to switch from trading in US dollars to Euros, this domino effect would have had a catastrophic consequese on the federal reserve and the US economy. The only way to stop this from happening was to take control of their governments. 3. The proposed oil pipeline had a route through countries that were willing except for one, Afghanistan.4. The WTC had to have nearly 1 Billion dollars worth of necessary renovations which would have been impossible to pay for, making it a perfect target for demolition/destruction.5. Stock trading suggests without any doubt that there were many trades done with prior knowledge of 9/11 and the funds envolved were far beyond what any terrorist orginization would have had. 6. Who gained the most from 9/11? bush administration, Leaser of WTC, Military contract companies, the US Economy, US oil companies, stock market(in the long run)7. People who lost the most? 9/11 victim's and families, bin laden, saddaam, taliban, there were just too many motivations for the bush administration not to act on themhaving seen how this administration handled the war on iraq it should be clear that they have had a plan all along and they were willing to break, change, and ignore alot of laws and proper procedures in order to get what they wantedknowing how publicly aggressive they were in post 9/11 who is to say they werent greatly tempted pre 9/11 to at least look the other way as terrorists planned and executed the attacksi'm not 100% conviced that they did it, or had knowledge of it, im just saying it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck.....

I suddenly have the sad realization I'll be having this argument with random conspiracy nuts for the remainder of my adult life. I miss the X-files type conspiracies those were more fun.Seriously though, you cannot just extrapolate that someone did something just because they stood to profit from it. There are many many many different things that Bush Cheney and the rest could have profited from, they are in positions of great power and influence. Whatever happens no matter how terrible they probably have a way to respond to it, not necessarily to cause it.I will grant that the possibility that George Bush knew that Iraq wasn't really a danger and that it would make his oil buddies many $$$ to sustain an interruption of the oil flow from Iraq. That is a much more plausible conspiracy, but to say that George Bush wanted for 911 to happen is just crazy. Especially the whole idea about the controlled demolition, why then the bloody planes?[Edited on October 22, 2007 at 1:49 AM. Reason : k]

1. "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor." That seems like a fair observation in the context of military spending.2. To be fair, we only invaded one of three countries in the axis of evil - no partial economic catastrophe has happened.3. The Taliban accepted a proposal from Unocal to build a pipeline in 1998. Afghanistan was invaded 6 years ago and no pipeline has been built.4. I googled and couldn't find any mention of this.5. http://www.snopes.com/rumors/putcall.asp6. Benefit is not an indicator of causality. However, this logic is one of the hallmarks of conspiracism.7. Bin Laden had motivations, albeit misguided ones based on his fighting with Soviets. Regardless, his audience is incredibly larger now.BTW, if I were planning 9/11 I would have replaced some of the Saudi hijackers with Iraqis so that I could sell my war to the public. Then if I had already killed 3,000 Americans just to put some money in my pocket than I would really have no moral qualms about planting some WMDs in Iraq to maintain the credibility of my party.

^^1. Would the "fair observation" lead them to desire that even to take place? Yes.2. Iraq's change from trading in $'s to euro alone caused the euro to surpass the $ in value. The truth is the value of the US dollar was not backed by gold but because countries traded oil only in the $. if key countries started to change, as irag, venequela, and iran did, that would have been disasterous when international banks went to cash in their dollars to buy euros.3. One of the first things the karzai did was sign the new oil pipeline agreement.4. the renovations were to remove asbestos from all of the steel in the building. It was necessary.5. ---6. No. but in this situation the solution to the equations are clear. this temtations could have come across many presidents before now, but this is one of the few administration that is greed enough to cause suspicion. if you remember the iran contra scandal and how there was a secret govt set up, you must know that a few people can hijack power away from congress and break the laws all in the name of national security. Anyone with experience of what people can do should not rule out this possibility.[Edited on October 22, 2007 at 2:35 AM. Reason : .]

I am going to be complicit in the even in which the Solicitor General of the United States' wife dies. Or is Ted Olson such a crass asshole that he willingly sacrificed his wife so the United States could invade Afghanistan?Also, if this was only a pretense for war, why did the United States wait so long to go into Afghanistan? After all, we only went into Afghanistan after they refused to turn over bin Laden. If memory serves correct, they waited a few weeks to invade.
10/22/2007 2:39:31 AM
10/22/2007 2:39:46 AM
^^remeber, we werent attacked by the taliban, us invading Afghanistan was a big change in policy which took time for the administration implementit was the "if you harbor terrorists, you are a terrorist" policy, you cant just go invade a country cause bin laden is thereanyways, all im saying is that it should be an open question, no one should be satisfied with the story we've been told, there are way too many holes and conflicts of interest even in the investigation,
10/22/2007 2:45:39 AM
1. That's quite a leap.2. Certainly you realize that the exchange rate is dictated by a great many things other than what one country chooses to trade.3. And Afghanistan will receive 8% of the proceeds. Every country in the region had hoped to secure some of the pipeline for this reason - the same reason that the Taliban agreed to it in 1998. There was never an issue of any country not wanting the pipeline, in fact there was competition as to who would receive it (on behalf of the host countries, not the oil companies).4. I looked all over and didn't see any numbers as high as the one you are giving.6. It sounds like your distrust of the government and distaste for the current administration are clouding your logic.

one thing the conspiracy theorists cant explain is how our government would keep the 100's of people who would be involved quiet. there would be too much to gain monetarily plus the immortalization of being the hero who exposed the plot for so many people to keep their mouths shut. use your brains people.
10/22/2007 8:44:25 AM
yep. honestly thats been one of the major things ive thought of all along as well. If this information is so easy for all these people to obtain then surely someone credible would have been able to step forward with some irrefutable evidence just as easily.Lets just assume this WAS some conspiracy attack, theres NO WAY, 0% chance that every person consulted would agree with this plan being carried out. There is also no chance that information on it would be able to be kept from all major players in the government...and with outspoken as many goverment figures (esp dems of course) are against Bush there is also no way that someone wouldnt have come forward by now to present that evidence and hurt the Republican's chances even more at regaining the presidency.it defies logic

^ Agreed. And I have to say, as much as I dislike Bush and the decisions that he's made, I wouldn't go so far as to say that he would allow 3,000 American civilians to be murdered for the sake of a few bucks.... That's just ludicrous
10/22/2007 10:30:28 AM
^ And 3,000 was the low number too. I remember that the morning of the attacks that they were estimating upwards of 50,000 dead. Although that may be media sensationalism, it very well could have been a lot more than 3000. So Bush would have had to make the decision to kill 50,000 to 100,000 American civilians before orchestrating this kind of attack.Those who believe that he is that evil have serious problems. No, he's not perfect and far from it, but he's not evil.
10/22/2007 10:37:12 AM
^^ thats where you have it wrong, the future of american was in great jeopordy, the survival of our economy depended on us controlling the trade of oil in the US $the only way we could have done it is if we were provoked to go to wari dont think bush knew anythingbut a few behind the scenes im sure rationalized this as sacrificing 3000 in order to save millions
