Too Exclusive I don't have a problem with you or the fact you question our goverment or what happened. A suspicious citizenry is what keeps our government in line.
My problem is the conspiracy sites which present speculation as fact, show an unfair bias for their opinion ten times worse than the media they complain about, the great length they go to as they put it "put things in perspective" and the vast amounts of misleading information they use to support their claims.
In an earlier post you finally admitted being wrong about the so called Executive Order, why not admit you where wrong in several of your other points you didn't really research but only took as Gospel as you read about them on the sites you link to?
well let's not forget that al-CIAeda was founded, funded, and trained by our government.al-Qeada wasn't formed until 1989 which is 5 years after the USA stopped funding the Afghan Resistance
the terrorists would have to find some way to get into the country unnoticed, train to be master pilots unnoticed, and find some way to defeat NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense). See NORAD is a system of radars throughout the country whose headquarters are in Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. they track EVERY plane in the sky on radar.Already has been disproved
Prior to 9-11 NORAD only focused on incoming aircraft.
BTW this points to the common complaint about exaggerating to make your point.
"train to be master pilots unnoticed"
Where do you get this?
Why call them master pilots?
The whole reason the pilot training in OK became suspect was the fact he didn't request or do any training for landing or takeoff. Unfortunately the FBI dropped the ball when he was brought to their attention in '96 for this very reason.
jet fuel only burns at about 1000 degrees fahrenheit, yet steel has a melting point of 2800 degrees fahrenheit. the jet fuel(most of it) burned up in that giant fireball you saw. the jet fuel didnt burn much inside, and by the end there were only a few smoldering oxygen starved fires. the steel was freezing compared to what it would need to melt!Another common point the conspiracy sites use to mislead.
When the 1st stories came out citing the fires as the cause of the collapse, every conspiracy nut jumped on the fact the fire didn't create enough heat to
MELT the steel.
Melt was just a simplified term used to explain what happened, no one was trying to say the steel melted to the point of becoming molten. Steel's strength in relation to thermal breakdown is almost linear. At half the melting temperature steel has already lost half of it's strength.
Even when this point is argued to show the conspiracy nuts are wrong. The most common reply is the building was over built to start with and cite how the floor trusses where designed to handle 5 times their load so even if the steel had lost half of it's strength they where still well within their design limits.
Even this point is misleading and here is why. When the nuts talk about the load limits of the floor trusses they are talking about the live load limits. There is a very distinct and important difference between live and dead limits.
The dead limits take into account all the force placed on the trusses by the building. Keep in mind the trusses where required to transfer all the weight/force to the core support columns as the WTC had no internal load bearing walls.
Considering all the forces acting on the trusses and other support structure, the dead limits would be far higher than the active load limits.
My point is even though the trusses could of lost half of their strength and still supported their active load they surely wouldn't of also been within their design limits when you factor in the dead limits which would be much higher.
Also keep in mind the aircraft impacts removed a major part of the load bearing structure causing more weight to be applied to the remaining. This increased the dead weight limits even more.
the next event on 9/11 was the attack on the pentagon... which is a completely ridiculous claim. first of all, the official story states that the plane flew inches above the cars on I-395 to slam into the pentagon,The claim an aircraft didn't hit the pentagon is probably the popular conspiracy from 9-11.
I've yet to see a site answer what I believe would be the most basic common sense question to back up their claim it wasn't a plane.
If it wasn't American Airlines Flight 77, then explain what happened to flight 77.
Do you think it safely landed somewhere and no one noticed?
Do you think American Airlines is part of the government cover up?
Do you think the passengers from flight 77 are alive and well and hiding out with Elvis?
If the conspiracy nuts really wanted to prove it wasn't a plane all they would have to do is prove something else happened to flight 77 or that it didn't ever exist?
Pretty damn simple if you ask me, so simple yet no one has been able to do just that?
the last event on 9/11 occured at 5:20 PM, and that was the collapse of the WTC building 7, a 47 story building about 200 yards from from the towers. question: how does a building with only a few minor scattered fires collapse at the rate of a free-falling body in a vacum?I don't understand the mention of free falling body in a vacuum, I guess you or whoever wrote it though it made it sound better. I don't know about you but back in school I learned gravity pulled on everything the same.
There has been very little written about WTC7 because everyone naturally focuses on the twin towers. My question would be how much damage did WTC7 receive when the towers fell. I'm not talking about direct damage but damage to it's foundation and support structure caused by the 1000's of tons of rubble cashing to the ground as you mentioned only 200 yards away.
BEFORE 9/11, NO STEEL BUILDING HAS EVER COLLAPSED DUE TO FIRE. AFTER 9/11, NO STEEL BUILDING HAS EVER COLLAPSED DUE TO FIRE. STEEL BUILDINGS DO NOT COLLAPSE DUE TO FIRE. again, if u say it was because of the planes, NO PLANE HIT BUILDING 7. A key point you overlooked.
The design of the WTC is very different from most other buildings past and even present. As much as you try to show this as proof of cover up or consiracy. The common sense question would be did all 3 building share a common design flaw?
For an in depth review this is by far the best report I've read.
http://www.structuremag.org/forum/WTC-Scheuermann.pdfUnlike most other studies this one is done by a retired fire chief only looking to improve fire and building codes.
Stanley Hilton was a senior advisor to Sen Bob Dole ® and has personally known Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz for decades. This courageous man has risked his professional reputation, and possibly his life, to get this information out to people." Here is another name for you "Richard Clarke"
Another top goverment official from the National Security Council, who after 9-11 made all kinds of charges claiming "Bush of doing a terrible job fighting terrorism - of ignoring the al-Qaeda threat before 11 September 2001 and distorting it afterwards. "
Conspiracy nuts focusing on prior knowledge of attacks made Richard Clarke their poster boy. That is right up until he testified under oath before the 9-11 commission and senate sub-committee where he did a complete 180 as far as what the USA specifically knew and when they knew it.
So I'm not impressed by Stanley Hilton or his interview on the Alex Jones Radio Show. BTW your the one who had a 2 page post claiming we can't believe anything from the media because it's controlled by the goverment. Does this statement only apply to things that go against what you so desperately want to believe?
i can't believe u guys dont realize that there is NO WAY that kind of attack could be planned, ppl trained in flight schools here, and the CIA (with it's extra funding from the OKC bombing in 95) didn't find it out. 2 big problems with this
1) The CIA has been barred from particapating in ANY internal security functions under the provisions of the National Security Act of 1947. The CIA's only focus has been on foriegn intelligence activities which affects national security.
2) The same 1947 act allows CIA to keep their budget secret. The CIA has no public budget record as their funds are not disclosed or even directly appropriated but is concealed by indirect funding via ivarious budget line items in the Defense Department budget. This is done as a way to protect their sources and methods. So the question is, how can you claim the CIA budget went up after the 95 OKC bombing when NO ONE knows what their budget is?
If you don't belive me do a google search for "CIA budget". You will find various lawsuits filed under the freedom of information act trying to get looks at the CIA budget, all these suits have failed even ones looking for information on budgets dating back to the 50's.
I'm very curious where you get your great inside information about the CIA budget when no one else has a clue what it is.
