Hi Scythirus. I was reading your blog recently wondering what was up with you, and I remembered the 9/11 conspiracy crap and just wanted to say: For one, the 20 dollar bill has had the same design on the back since the eighties. Besides that fact, why the fuck would people want to draw attention to the idea that they blew up the World fucking Trade Center if they didn't want people to know they blew up the World fucking Trade Center? Beyond that, I challenge you to tell a secret - not just any secret, but a secret that is probably the biggest thing in the world - to at least several hundred people, because that's what blowing up the WTC would've required on the part of the US government. None of these people are ever allowed to go to a bar ever because one slip up and your whole plan is fucked. |

Are you aware of what a talisman is? A talisman is an important device (can be anything, really) designed to bring about your agenda in an alleged magical process. Many of our wouldbe rulers believe in that occult crap. It's also a nifty way of admitting you're behind it while allowing enough room to shrug it off as coincidence. The global elite don't actually hide anything. Instead, much like a stage magician, they do everything out in the open while placing up plenty of distractions to keep you from seeing what they're actually doing. It's truly extraordinary how open jet-fuel fire somehow got hot enough to simultaneously melt every steel column within the WTC towers, both the twins and building 7 (the third which wasn't even hit by a jet like its two taller sisters were) so they could all magically fall into their own footprints in the path of most resistance. (In case you need an architecture and physics lesson, buildings only fall through the path of LEAST resistance.) These are the only modern steel buildings in history to have ever collapsed from a fire. Even the more recent Madrid fire still had much of its core intact after suffering a fire a hell lot worse than the fires in WTC. It's also extraordinary how a half-witted barely trained Islamioc terrorist pulled off a looping maneuver into the Pentagon with a commercial jetliner that no actual, highly trained pilot could ever pull off. It's also interesting how at least half of the "terrorists" blamed for this escapade were found still alive elsewhere in the world, living normal non-terrorist lives. It's also interesting that family members were called by passengers on a jet that was somewhere around 20,000 - 40,000 feet in the air when the carrier ceiling for cell phones at the time was only 2,000 feet. One of those passengers, mind you, introduced himself to his MOTHER with his first AND LAST name. It's also highly amazing how all of the terrorist passports magically survived every crashed plane to be found by authorities at the sites. I suggest you Google and read up on these points. They're very interesting anomalies. Keeping a secret with a hundred people is not hard if you use a lot of money and intimidating force to keep various mouths shut. Such resources are at the global elite's fingertips. A pauper, yes, could not keep this secret. |

You have no evidence to show this claim to be factual; it's a circular argument; you're supposing that they have these elements of a conspiracy because you think they are part of a conspiracy. For one, it's a myth that the planes melted steel, or that they would have needed to. All that would be required is for the steel to lose enough strength to no longer be capable of supporting its structure. http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military_law/1227842.html?page=4#steelJet fuel burns at 800-1500 degree Fahrenheit - steel loses half of its strength at 1100 degrees. As to falling straight down, the World Trade Centers were built in a way unlike most buildings that made them less stable, as demonstrated here: Posted Image A normal steel building Posted Image The WTC Here. [/url]
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/spain_fire_2005.html While the fires did burn hot enough to severely weaken the steel, they were not supporting a structure as insecure as the WTC, as discussed previously. It'd be interesting if this claim wasn't patently false; all but two of the calls were made from airphones, and the planes were never that high up. Further, more than half of the calls failed, and according to industry experts, it is possible to on occasion successfully make a call from that high. http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/2006/05/more-on-those-cell-phones.html http://911debunker.livejournal.com/7697.html?thread=58129 http://911myths.com/html/mobiles_at_altitude.html If a trained CIA agent or the like had made that call, don't you think that agent would've been smart enough not to do that? I haven't found any link showing this actually happened, so could you provide one? For one, I am quite knowledgeable about the supposed conspiracy, and for two, money does not subvert human nature.

The true "untold story" of 9/11 is in fact public knowledge and accessible to everyone. It's in the official 9/11 Congressional Report. You can pick it up for 5 bucks at Wal Mart. The Congressional investigators correctly identified the cause of 9/11: America itself. America brought 9/11 on itself with its positively insane foreign policy. Osama bin Laden didn't attack us because he "hates freedom" or that he "wanted to conquer the US" or some other sensationalist nonsense we learn from the yellow press. Rather, Osama bin Laden attacked us in defense of his people and in response to years of all the criminal American imperialism perpetrated on the world by our leaders whether Democratic or Republican. We brought 9/11 on ourselves with 50 years of American imperialist adventures, including occupation and intervention in various Middle Eastern countries, military support for Zionist Israel, and military bases in the Arabian peninsula, all of which are deeply offensive to Middle Easterners and more importantly, resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis especially in the first Gulf War. In that context, it makes perfect sense for some disgruntled "ragheaded Arabs" to turn to terrorism. The real conspiracy is a conspiracy and campaign of misinformation to deceive the American public into supporting our continued insane foreign policies. We keep believing that we must "bring Osama bin Laden to justice." For what?? So that we can keep flushing trillions of taxpayer dollars down the toilet and keep ensuring that thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi and Afghan civilians are killed?? George W Bush took the great nation of the US and brought it to its knees and bled it dry with his quixotic attempt to "bring bin Laden to justice". Red Vietnam was responsible for the deaths of more than 50,000 American young people. Yet we made peace with them, and now we're friends and trading partners with Vietnam. John McCain is even considered a hero in Vietnam these days. Water under the bridge. If we could make peace with as recalcitrant an enemy as Vietnam, we can make peace with Osama bin Laden. We should do today what we should've done on 9/12/2001 the day after the 9/11 attacks: immediately capitulate to Bin Laden's demands and end the so-called War on Terrorism which really was a "War of American Terorrism", thus sparing any more lives and treasure from being lost. I state that we should capitulate to Bin Laden's demands and end the cycle of escalation of violence and mutual destruction. Bin Laden's demands are 100% reasonable, and they are clearly spelled out for us in the official Congressional 9/11 Report: End American support for Israel so that Israel can finally make peace with the Palestinians, and End American military bases and occupation in the Middle East. Yet most Americans aren't aware of this "untold story" of 9/11 even though it's public, accessible to everyone, and right under our noses at the checkout counter at Wal Mart. Therefore Americans keep putting warmongers and war criminals like Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Brack Obama, and Joe Biden into office so that they may transfer American taxdollars directly from our pockets directly into the coffers of the military industries, the international bankers, and other fascist elements that suck on the American taxpayer's teat and have a vested interest in chronic, perpetual war. But thankfully today, the US has no option but to scale down our imperialist dreams and ambitions. We simply don't have the money or resources any more. The US economy simply cannot sustain any more war without the economy collapsing entirely. For one, Social Security and Medicare will be bankrupt soon; when that happens it will be a nice, refreshing wakeup call for us and teach us to mind our own business and keep our own house in order, just as George Washington admonished. The great Ronald Reagan withdrew American forces from Lebanon after the Beirut barracks bombing in 1983, declaring that Middle East politics is too irrational for Americans to be involved in. Bill Clinton, George HW Bush, the Democrats, the neoconservatives, and Barack Obama are pieces of termite shit compared to Reagan. We need to learn from Reagan's example and bring the troops home.

Also, I would mention that mutual trade and cooperation with the US will moderate the Taliban just like trade and cooperation moderated Red Vietnam. For example, end our corrupt fascist relationship with the Republic of Turkey. Did you know the US pays Turkey billions of dollars to grow opium (for legitimate uses like medical anesthesias and painkillers), while we simultaneously pay fascist military industries and military contractors billions of dollars to eradicate the Taliban's opium crop in Afghanistan?? Talk about an insane, irrational waste of American money and resources! Abolish Turkey's fascist privileges, open up the opium industry to free bidding contracts, and let the Taliban bid for American painkiller contracts. That would be one quick and simple way to moderate the Taliban through trade and mutual cooperation, and also deprive the Turks of the money they use to carry out their various genocidal military campaigns. Trade, industry, and hard work are the only things that can bring about mutual understanding. Bombing the shit out of Afghanistan will not bring about mutual understanding.

Although I do not necessarily agree with your reasons, I do agree with your conclusion. Let's get the Hell out of Southwest Asia once and for all, let Isreal fend for its own well-being, open trade fully with the Arab States, and take care of our own business. This does NOT mean I think Taliban Afganistan was a neet-o regime, what with destroying art and making women subserviant, but if a country's own populous will not cry out against injustice then it is not our place to impose our own injustice on a population. Likewise, even back to the 1970's and the Islamic revolution in Iran - what were they revolting against? a false monarchy put up by the CIA and our Government to keep Iran a puppet state for the U.S. We have been our own worst enemy for many years, almost totally unknown to our own people. Now, that does NOT mean we haven't done good as well. We have done much good around the world, but we have got to stop acting as the arbitrator of morality and remember that most people deserve the government they have. In probably less than 35 years, and in all of your lifetimes, Europe will be a Muslim state. If you need to know how I can say that for certainty simply realize that a culture requires a birthrate of 2.1 to sustain itself, and no culture has ever come back from a birth rate of 1.8 or lower. If you remove imigration from the equation in Europe, the over-all birth rate of Europe is, I believe 1.7. All European population growth is coming from imigration - that is Muslim imigration. We had best learn how to deal with Islam or else we are in big trouble. |

So where's the columns? If what you say is to be true, the columns should still be standing. They're not. WTC were not hollow tin cans. At the very least, the columns should still be standing like a overly redundant series of bones. And furthermore, molten steel was indeed found on the site with traces of sulfur. Jet fuel fires can't do this, but there is a particular chemical compound that can do that. http://www.investigate911.com/moltensteel.htm http://9eleven.info/SmokingGuns.html http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/april2006/240406thermiteidentified.htm http://media.photobucket.com/image/molten%20steel%20911/MikeWalker123/molten002sm.jpg Look at that one photograph on the Prison Planet article with the columns possessing a neatly hacked line across each of them. Jet fire and collapsing buildings can't create a straight line like that. The columns were cut.

200 years from now, after the global nuclear armageddon, there will be two rival religions among the survivors in the wasteland. One religion's central dogma is that 9/11 was an inside job by the US government. The other religion's central dogma is that foreign terrorists caused 9/11. Many wars and crusades are fought by the followers of these two rival religions. Nonetheless, these two religions play a noble role in that they give their respective followers existential satisfaction and something worthwhile to cling on to while they bravely struggle to survive in the wastelands and perpetuate the human species. Quick, someone write a science fiction short story based on this general outline. |

Imo the European Christians and Jews must match the Muslims' reproduction rates. If the Muslims reproduce like jackrabbits then the Christians must reproduce like jackrabbits. If the Muslims reproduce like pigs then the Christians must reproduce like pigs. Christians must have entire litters of children. This result would be achieved by a variety of necessary policy reforms, including the abolition of the corrupt welfare state system throughout Europe. |

This should explain to you the whole molten steel thing: http://www.debunking911.com/moltensteel.htm#molten As was noted in my source, the second picture removes the columns because they are irrelevant to the design. Also, here: http://www.wconline.com/CDA/Archive/24ae78779d768010VgnVCM100000f932a8c0____
So either these experts are lying (which would mean the involvement of an increasing number of people, making the chance somebody would let slip the conspiracy ever higher) or there were no explosives. Also, just a note, the WTC is not the only building to have fallen because of fire. In Lancaster PA: http://www.firefightersonline.com/opsandtactics/tr-097/
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=35569This is a picture of a Boeing 757 in 2002. http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=55280And in 2003. Both have airfones. The myth that there were no airfones on board is because Boeing had removed them by 2004. Your own guy even admits that he screwed up. http://911blogger.com/node/8408 Also, here: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/02_39/c3801015.htm Because the panic associated with imminent death can cause people to do weird things. Okay. His wasn't the only thing recovered; they also found an ATM card from a random guy onboard. And also: http://www.post-gazette.com/headlines/20011230flight931230p3.asp Unless of course the government planted those too. Scy, I just want to make it clear, I'm not doing this to antagonize you; I sincerely think you're wrong and want to show you that. Edited by Quaon, Jun 4 2009, 08:31 PM.

My summer was completely screwed. The plans to go to Phoenix for Russian classes fell through simply because I could not send any good shot records to ASU. Some bullshit. On the bright side, time is freed up to do what I need to do and then some. I'm only two hours away from Houston, which means only two hours away from Silly (the Nepali girl). I'll see about doing some stuff with her soon. So, what's been distracting me: My brother recently got a game called x3 Terran Conflict. This game is huge. It's not a great game, but it's finally given me the space fighter combat I've been longing for since good ol' Colony Wars, or even older TIE Fighter. Both were excellent games better than this game in their concentration, but this game has more than just combat. You start out in a fighter craft or trade freighter (note this game is played from first person perspective), and you can slowly build up credits by taking missions and/or trading. Eventually, you can start to put together a squadron and/or trade fleet, and then you can go into building factories and/or conquering other sectors with a war fleet. The mind blowing thing is you could be doing all this while still piloting your fighter craft and personally fighting your enemies. Fun game. I recommend it to anyone that is patient and not easily frustrated and is into space fighter combat/fleet command and trade. I know I probably went against the current topic, but it goes with the thread topic, right? |
