These Loose Screws guys (the real ones) actually planned this (as Marf pointed out) as a "forum raid." They must feel about as satisfied as did the James-Younger gang after their Northfield, Minnesota raid.

When you make a claim, you have to support it. You don't get to say stuff and then dare people to prove you wrong, and then claim that because they can't prove you wrong that you are right!


How polite of you to go and prove him utterly wrong regardless of this!

What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a pink shirt before?

Larry Silverstein, the owner of the building, and the person who made the most money off of the 9/11 attacks, is on tape saying that he and the fire department agreed to "pull it" - a term used in the demolition field to denote the demolition of a building. Skeptics often try to use the ridiculous arguement that he was refering to "pulling the firefighters out of the building" which makes no sense since people don't use the pronoun "it" to refer to something plural such as firefighters
Unless, perhaps, "it" refers to a collective (e.g. a team or squad or regiment of firefighters). Also, does it make more sense for a guy to admit on tape that he wanted to have the building destroyed to make money?


Like I said, poor communication between the between the conspirators resulted in the inconsitencies of people's statements afterwards. He probably thought that the official explaination would be that they demolished the building after it had been weekened, because of the danger it then posed. After they all realized that that explaination would land them in hot water, they backtracked and said they had no idea why it came down or that the fires caused it to come down.

Entirely unconvincing.

6. Perhaps the biggest smoking gun of all, the fact that the BBC reported the building's collapse 26 mintues in advance, while the building was still standing. You can see a recording of this here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mxFRigYD3s

This is proof of media scripting and foreknowledge, and could only have happened if the authorities knew they were going to bring down the building in advance, via controlled demolition, and accidently press released early.
So now the media are in on it, too? How many people total were a part of this?

I am not anti semitic. I have not mentioned jews. Why on earth would you draw that conclusion?

I have a feeling you are a wife beater. See how easy it is to make ridicculous allegations?

I'm delighted to see you write that you are not ant-Semitic. Now, when will you stop being such an offensive, stupid ass?

Well if it didn't occur, why on earth do we have that government report saying it did? And an audio confirming it? Are you saying the report is wrong?

I must say that this is really a new one for us. It looks like a sort of half & half 'spread the word' / continued argument from elsewhere sort of deal.

Well folks, these fora are heavily evidence based; no one believes just on someone's say-so. And some of the say-sos I've read are pretty far out; rife with logical fallacies.

In the interests of trying to get some coherency, I will help. A study of these three links will vastly improve arguments: this'n, this'n and this little gem here. If you only open one, it's ok. They all flense off to the same thing.

So, carry on, carry on. I'm rather enjoying it.

The logical fallacies are in every skeptic post, such as ad hominem. The bible of the "critical thinkers" here is the 25 tactics of truth suppression.

You've shown no such evidence.

What part of:

"There were continuing moments of alarm. A panel truck with a painting of a plane flying into the World Trade Center was stopped near the temporary command post. It proved to be rented to a group of ethnic Middle Eastern people who did not speak English. Fearing that it might be a truck bomb, the NYPD immediately evacuated the area, called out the bomb squad, and detained the occupants until a thorough search was made. The vehicle was found to be an innocent delivery truck.”

are you having trouble with?

I think I'm starting to smell a conspiricy of another sort. Lemmee think about it for a spell...
