9/11 conspiracy theories...

G'day all,

I was just watching a documentary on commercial television in Australia which briefly touched on some of the conspiracy theories covering Jewish involvement in the 9/11 attacks.

I have also seen a commercial television program, made by an American (apparantly banned in America) and shown on Austrlian TV which talks about reasons why the US government was involved in the attacks.

There's also a really c-grade google video called "loose change" which covers a lot of these theories.

Anyone seen it, or anything like it?

Just wondering if anyone knows of any good sources of information that attempt to counter or dispel these conspiracies???

I'd like to take that advice on, but unfortunately I can't. I am at university here in Australia, and there are a lot of people (supposedly educated) who really buy into these theories. I don't like my only response to them being to take a deep breath and move on. I want to be able to rebut their arguments convincingly. Hence, the request…

First of all, Loose Change is not "c-grade".
Second, it has nothing to do with "jewish involvement".
Third, no video is "banned" in america, we have this thing called the 1ST AMENDMENT which grants us FREE SPEECH, even if it's anti-government, or suggests american involvement in the events of 9/11.

One thing is for sure, the official US government story to 9/11 IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY, so the next time you trolls talk about how stupid "conspiracy theorists" are, look in the goddamn mirror you zealot.

By the way, good luck on finding any real "evidence" to contradict the evidence presented in documentaries like Loose Change and Martial Law 9/11.
The evidence supporting government involvement, and the evidence contradicting the official conspiracy theory are just too plentiful to ignore.
I'm the most pro-american patriot I know, the idiots who support the desecration of the constitution and buy into every government spoodfed propagandistic conspiracy theory are the real "anti-americans".

Edit 2: Many trolls and tools are going to flame me, call me names, and try to offend or discredit me, but I don't give a shit because the truth is a hard swallow.

There will always be conspiracy theories about everything. Some will be true, some won't, unfortunately, due to the flood of assholes who want to be famous (or maybe the gov't is forging them all to drown out the real ones?), the true conspiracy theories will always be mostly unknown.

The fact that there was an unmarked white plane around the pentagon a short while after the attack proves nothing. The fact that the lightpoles were unscrewed says a LOT. You need to be able to discern which elements of a conspiracy theory are really relevant. I remember this illuminati documentary where they said that the statue on capitol hill was not in fact the virgin mary, but Persephone.

Big fucking deal. You can take off your tinfoil hat now.

Likewise, you need to be able to tell which conspiracy theories really matter. The government is watching people in supermarkets to know which products to cater? Good, take off all those damn kiddie cereals nobody buys. It doesn't really matter that they spy on you (cause they do) what matters is when they spy on you. And no, the toilet seat doesn't count. The government saw you banging your wife? I'm pretty sure they have enough porn on the internet already.

The only sort of spying that they should not try is political spying, and even then it has it's perks for everybody.

Loose change is drivvel. Most interesting of all these fruit loops who claim conspiracy theory yadayada, they seem to never ever talk to families who lost loved ones that day. For those that claim no plane hit the Pentagon, talk to a rescue worker who worked that day in DC, many have pics and have no problem talking about the half bodies burned still belted in airline seats they had the job of removing to the morgue.

It is easy to sit in a classroom or behind a keyboard and pretend what might and might not have happened but when any of these "educated" people actually go and talk to those who were there or suffered closest to it they soon shut their faces.

1. Well, I consider “Loose Change” to be C-grade. I guess that will just be a matter of interpretation.
2. You say it has nothing to do with Jewish involvement. That is the reason for this post. Can you provide me the evidence to discount this claim? I never said it did, I said I watched a documentary that did. I would love to see the counter argument, and you seem informed. Please provide any sources that may help enlighten me.
3. I said “(apparantly banned in America)”. I didn’t even name the movie, so are you sure it was not banned. How can these movies have been banned in America then:
• 1908: The James Boys in Missouri and Night Riders, banned in Chicago
• 1915: The Birth of a Nation banned in several American cities.
• 1926: The Crimson Kimono, based on a real-life Chicago murder case and political scandal, banned in Chicago.
• 1928: The Racket banned in Chicago.
• 1931: Frankenstein banned in Kansas.
• 1932: Freaks banned in Cleveland.
• 1967: Titicut Follies, distribution blocked by legal order, 1967-1992.
• 1987: Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, banned by court order
• 2002: The Profit, legal injunction preventing exhibition: April 2002-present
4. I never once said conspiracy theorists were stupid. I was merely asking someone to present the alternative argument. It seems you are the zealot, with your excesses in view. I am merely looking to understand both sides of the argument so that there can be dialogue.

I don't think calling people trolls and tools helps. If you are strong enough in your beliefs, petty name calling and posturing surely only serves to weaken your stance???

One flaw I found in this documentary I watched tonight was as follows: There is a belief that no Jews were killed in the Trade Centre attacks, as they were forewarned and did not come to work. To discount this, the documentary went and spoke to one Jewish family who lost one person. I thought it would have been more effective to list all the Jews killed, rather than just say here is one family who lost one person, therefore Jews were killed.

Anyway, I knnow this is a really messy subject, with so many theories, but I can't help but wonder why there isn't a strong argument out there somewhere that tries to disporve these claims.

It must be pretty hard to swallow. You haven't managed to do it yet. Fact is the conspiracy theories go against physics, video evidence, and what actually happens when a building comes down. They rely on your ignorance of these things to make you think that it was done with explosives.

What would be the point? The facts and people are available if someone wants to know for themselves. Each persons ability to critically think and analyze (including common sense) will limit or expand the depth to what someone really wants to know or not. It is like with any gossip monger, if you challenge them it fuels the fire. If you ignore it, some will assume that the CT must be on to something, but most mature people understand that feeding the attention whore is exactly what the desired result is.

he never said there was a bomb or any of that. he said that the whole "fly the airplanes into the buildings" is a conspiracy itself. The terrorists planned this attack for a long time. There were many people involved in it. That makes it a conspiracy. And this one actually happened. There was no JFK conspiracy. There was probably not a conspiracy in Roswell, either. I'm a realist. I see what the video evidence tells me and decide on the most probable cause. 9/11 was not a missile attack. It wasnt a bombing. Whether or not there was any American involvement, i dont know. i havent really looked into it. but what i do know is that those terrorists got on those planes that morning. They got into cockpit. They killed the pilots. And then they flew those planes into the WTC and the Pentagon. That was a conspiracy. But its not so large as many people would have you think.

The government has not said it is not to be questioned. Many independant structural engineers have questioned and studied it in depth. You don't see this in the mass media because they agree. They satisfied their own sense of understanding through their own expertise. What you see in print and film are people who disagree, that is what sells.

Proof that the conspiracy theories saying that the WTC was brought down by explosives rather than aircraft are wrong is found in the following thread. You'll have to search through the thread, I don't feel like doing that much research again.

Easy to say until you realize that I base my opinion on the opinions of independent physicists and engineers, observation of the videos, and my personal analysis of how likely it would be that government agents could plant enough explosives to bring the buildings down without being observed.

Jewish Involvement??????
do you know haow stupid that sounds!!!

honestly, Im a Jew. and Ive been around the Jewish community alot. and I have one question:

Why the crap would the jews even care?
we are too caught up in drinking Manichevitz wine, and giving circumsisions, to even think about knocking over buildings and planing world domination.

Just because we rule the media, dosnt mean we're power hungry terrosists.

that has to be the STUPIDEST thing I ever heard

i havent seen these films.

this is the reason why there was no US government or jewish conspiracy invovled in 9/11:

it would require the complete cooperation of thousands of patriotic american citizens. thousands of men and women who wouldnt feel guilty, who wouldnt boil with anger, who wouldnt get drunk at the bar and brag, who wouldnt tell their closest family members.

this is simply not possible.

consider for a moment the (somewhat) legal program to keep track of american phone records. nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to give you screaming nightmares, nothing to weep over as you read the stories about victims in the newspaper. how long was it kept secret?

do you really believe that NO ONE of a the few thousand needed to make it work would crack?

And that is the argument I generally use. It is the most logical thought process to follow. It is just when people start asking me to explain things relating to the shapes of the holes made by the plane crashing into the pentagon, etc, where I'd like to be able to enlighten them. I have been provided a decent link, with I will familiarise myself with, and be able to use to explain the alternative argument to the CT at my university. Cheers all....

I've seen the video footage that shows the plane with apparantly an attachment on the bottom of it.

My question is, if the theories wish to prove that there is something there, surely they can enhance the quality of the picture and focus more clealry on the object, rather than giving very inconclusive, pixelated images that prove very little.

Yeah I can't say I recall ever seeing anything with an attachment on the bottom in any of the videos that were played and played and played again that day and more than likely its just an angle shot with shading that makes it look like an "attachment."

These theories are made up by 40 year old virgins who still live in their parent's basement, work part-time at Blockbuster, and still haven't gotten through puberty yet.

First of all, the "pod" observation is crap and every respectable scholar and documentary maker has ignored it because there's little to no evidence to support the "pod" observation.

A plane didn't hit the pentagon, and if it did the FBI/DoD/Bush administration wanted to DEBUNK EVERY DISSENTING IDEA, they would simply released ONE OF THE VERY MANY videos they have of what really hit the pentagon, if in fact it was a 757.
Do you agree with that atleast? It would be incredibly easy and we wouldn't be discussing it if the evidence was there.

The director of the FBI came on record and said there is no physical evidence linking the "hijackers" to 9/11.
Rice said back in 2002 that they would release the real evidence linking Usama to 9/11 in "due time", guess what, it's 2006 and still no "evidence".

i disagree. A plane did hit the pentagon. There were actual still shots from a parking lot camera that shows a plane hitting it... i'm too lazy to look it up, but it's out there.

With exception of Superstar and the Prophet non were national bans only local yahoo's "protecting the community" Supertar (a movie done with Barbie dolls) has ben blocked from commercial display due to unauthirised used of copywritten material, but if you look hard (google) you can down load it. The Prophet ??? with movie by that title are you refering to, there have been many?

But to my knowledge no movie has been banned in the whole of the US.

With exception of Superstar and the Prophet non were national bans only local yahoo's "protecting the community" Supertar (a movie done with Barbie dolls) has ben blocked from commercial display due to unauthirised used of copywritten material, but if you look hard (google) you can down load it. The Prophet ??? with movie by that title are you refering to, there have been many?

But to my knowledge no movie has been banned in the whole of the US.

Aside from the Popular Mechanics throrugh debunk of the claims made in Loose Change, the really bad narration which makes the whole thing sound like a college project, the lack of any concrete evidence of the continued existence of any of the 19 hijackers as the film alleges...

Look, the only one I can really lay into is the explosives notion of WTC 1 & 2. They stop the film during the collapse and spotlight little puffs of debris and air and claim that these are explosive "squibs" that signify a chain of explosives like those used in controlled demolitions. They then warp the laws of physics to claim that the building couldn't come down that fast or that the temperature wasn't hot enough to melt structural steel.

They aren't squibs, they're the air being compressed and shoved out windows or cracks in the walls by the pancaking floors falling through the space between themselves. The steel didn't need to melt, just weaken enough to fall off the short steel ledges connecting each flooe to the outer exoskeleton of the building. Wekend floors let go and fell on other weakened floors and biult up enough momentum to take out slightly less weakened floors below the impact/fire site, which in turn weighed enough to take out even unweakened floors far enough away from the impact to have not been affected by fire (fire which spread from descending jet fuel already lit by the initial explosion. The pancaking process didn't happen in ten seconds. Fire and rescue team communication devices picked up the slamming moise of falling floors many seconds prior to the outward collapse. The empty, unspported shell fell as fast as gravity could accelerate it.

I'll admit it, I was suckered by some of the claims in the video UNTIL I SEARCHED FOR COUNTER CLAIMS. To the original poster, guess where I DIDN'T start or even think of searching? NationStates General Forum. Why the flying intercourse would I look HERE for stuff like that? I come here to watch social entropy in action, not for facts. I may get links to facts here, but little more than opinions, with the usual level of enlightenment behind them -- variable according to the poster.

Because the clear images show that the "attachment" is just the fusalage at a odd angle and not a "msytery device" and that doesn't sell books or videos and where's the fun in that?


I've seen the video footage that shows the plane with apparantly an attachment on the bottom of it.

My question is, if the theories wish to prove that there is something there, surely they can enhance the quality of the picture and focus more clealry on the object, rather than giving very inconclusive, pixelated images that prove very little.

Yeah, because the government is just great at keeping secrets like this. They probably killed everyone in the twin towers several nights in a row in order to plant the explosives and cover their tracks so the day shift wouldn't notice anything. Then they hid the bodies in broom closets and pretended those people died in the collapse.

First of all, Loose Change is not "c-grade".
Second, it has nothing to do with "jewish involvement".
Third, no video is "banned" in america, we have this thing called the 1ST AMENDMENT which grants us FREE SPEECH, even if it's anti-government, or suggests american involvement in the events of 9/11.

One thing is for sure, the official US government story to 9/11 IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY, so the next time you trolls talk about how stupid "conspiracy theorists" are, look in the goddamn mirror you zealot.

By the way, good luck on finding any real "evidence" to contradict the evidence presented in documentaries like Loose Change and Martial Law 9/11.
The evidence supporting government involvement, and the evidence contradicting the official conspiracy theory are just too plentiful to ignore.
I'm the most pro-american patriot I know, the idiots who support the desecration of the constitution and buy into every government spoodfed propagandistic conspiracy theory are the real "anti-americans".

Edit 2: Many trolls and tools are going to flame me, call me names, and try to offend or discredit me, but I don't give a shit because the truth is a hard swallow.

September eleven was not a simple operation. Could it be planned and executed without coordination with intelligence and security services – or their extensive infiltration? Of course this is just an educated guess. Why have the various aspects of the attacks been kept secret? Why are we not told who botched their responsibilities? And, why aren’t those responsible and the guilty parties identified and put on trial?

Why not? The fact is that airline crews before 9/11 were instructed to comply with hijackers and make sure the passengers remained calm and cooperated. This is because hijackers in the past let the hostages live and sometimes carried bombs in case the passengers or crew resisted.

Except cash and a plane ticket doesnt magically give you knowledge on how to fly a plane.

The operation required more than cash and money. It required infiltration, reconnaisance, intelligence, communications, and knowledge on not just how to fly a commercial airliner but how to navigate one. A simple terrorist group does not seem like a group coordinated enough to launch such a large scale attack. Planting a bomb in the basement of the WTC, ok I can see that. This, no way.

I was just watching a documentary on commercial television in Australia which briefly touched on some of the conspiracy theories covering Jewish involvement in the 9/11 attacks.

I have also seen a commercial television program, made by an American (apparantly banned in America) and shown on Austrlian TV which talks about reasons why the US government was involved in the attacks.

There's also a really c-grade google video called "loose change" which covers a lot of these theories.

Anyone seen it, or anything like it?

Just wondering if anyone knows of any good sources of information that attempt to counter or dispel these conspiracies???

1) Much more difficult now. They check you a bit more thoroughly, they confiscate items like box cutters and even nail clippers now.

2) Crew are no longer told to cooperate with hijackers and keep passengers calm.

3) Passengers are now more likely to stomp a hijacker to death rather than comply.

4) Snap the plane in half? You're clearly not a pilot. I'm told you can actually roll one of those bitches and it'll hold together. The airlines tend to frown on that though. One of my friends is a licensed pilot, but not for the big passenger aircraft. He has a twin engine license. Still he works for US airways (not as a pilot) and has in the past been allowed to sit in the cockpit and fly the plane for a bit under pilot's supervision. These guys weren't doing anything complicated like taking off or landing. They were just steering into their target.

5) I'm sure that there are alot of cameras aimed at the pentagon. It's not the type of place where people are allowed to show up and hang out anytime they want.

For conspiracy theories like "the government did it" to be true, it would have to mean that the US government were actually long term thinkers (after all, the World Trade Center damage had a negative effect on the economy and I don't think there's been any economic benefit from invading Iraq yet).

However, if they were long-term thinkers, they would've already taken measures to find alternatives to oil, since the longer you leave it, the harder you're hit when the cost of oil extraction shoots up.

http://www.willthomas.net/911/911_Commission_Hearing.htm
Thats the flight patterns of the planes. Now the question isnt just the ability to fly the plane, its the ability to navigate, which these supposed hijackers did not have.

Lets start from the beginning. In order to have complete knowledge of flying commercial airliners, it takes alot of time and dedication. These hijackers were not even good at flying a Cessna yet somehow take huge commercial airliners and fly them no problem.

This is what was said by flight trainers about the hijackers:
Mohammed Atta: "His attention span was zero."
Khalid Al-Mihdhar: "We didn't kick him out, but he didn't live up to our standards."
Marwan Al-Shehhi: “He was dropped because of his limited English and incompetence at the controls.”
Salem Al-Hazmi: "We advised him to quit after two lessons.”
Hani Hanjour: "His English was horrible, and his mechanical skills were even worse. It was like he had hardly even ever driven a car. I’m still to this day amazed that he could have flown into the Pentagon. He could not fly at all.”


A plane is not extremely hard to fly around the open sky, but if the intent is to execute any kind of a maneuver with even the least bit of precision, the task immediately becomes quite daunting. And if the aim is to navigate to a specific geographic location hundreds of miles away while flying at over 500 mph 30,000 feet above the ground, the challenges become virtually impossible for any untrained pilot. Especially someone who cant pilot a Cessna.

n the case of a Boeing 757 or 767, the pilot would be faced with an EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrumentation System) panel comprised of six large multi-mode LCDs interspersed with clusters of assorted “hard” instruments. These displays process the raw aircraft system and flight data into an integrated picture of the aircraft situation, position and progress, not only in horizontal and vertical dimensions, but also with regard to time and speed as well. When flying “blind”, I.e., with no ground reference cues, it takes a highly skilled pilot to interpret, and then apply, this data intelligently. If one cannot translate this information quickly, precisely and accurately (and it takes an instrument-rated pilot to do so), one would have ZERO SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. I.e., the pilot wouldn’t have a clue where s/he was in relation to the earth. Flight under such conditions is referred to as “IFR”, or Instrument Flight Rules.

And IFR Rule #1: Never take your eyes off your instruments, because that’s all you have!

The corollary to Rule #1: If you can’t read the instruments in a quick, smooth, disciplined, scan, you’re as good as dead. Accident records from around the world are replete with reports of any number of good pilots — I.e., professional instrument-rated pilots — who ‘bought the farm’ because they ‘lost it’ while flying in IFR conditions.

I dont think you can get behind the wheel in a plane already in flight and miraculously find out how to navigate to your target. A novice would be lucky to even find the city.

5) I'm sure that there are alot of cameras aimed at the pentagon. It's not the type of place where people are allowed to show up and hang out anytime they want.

Well I need to see the tape first. I have seen stills put together as a gif and saw no plane (or any object whatsoever), just an explosion.

NOW, explain:
# There is no documented record of the purported 9-11 terrorists making plane reservations. If they did, there would be a “record locator,” complete with details.
# There is no documented record of the purported 9-11 terrorists buying or using tickets. (IDs required)

# There is no record of the purported 9-11 terrorists on any of the passenger manifests, with all legitimate passengers being accounted for.

I've got 2 questions for you. The 1st one I've already asked but you ignored.
1) WHY would Isreal risk pissing off the ONLY freind it has?
2) Have ever flown or at least played a good flight sim on a high end computer?
The flights were from BOSTON its due SE to NYC. Flight sims teach this kind of navigation. That and they were trained pilots or at least trained enough. I was no great shakes flying. If the landed the aircraft different story. The higher tech aircraft are EASIER to fly than a Cessna 172 /152 because all the labor is done electronically.

Oh and when commercial aircraft are rated for "air worthiness" they are routinly put through manuvers no sane commercial pilot would attempt
like loops and rolls.

Air force one is a HUGE 747 but still capable of evasive manuvering when necessary.



Uh, by who?

Thats the flight patterns of the planes. Now the question isnt just the ability to fly the plane, its the ability to navigate, which these supposed hijackers did not have.

Lets start from the beginning. In order to have complete knowledge of flying commercial airliners, it takes alot of time and dedication. These hijackers were not even good at flying a Cessna yet somehow take huge commercial airliners and fly them no problem.

This is what was said by flight trainers about the hijackers:
Mohammed Atta: "His attention span was zero."
Khalid Al-Mihdhar: "We didn't kick him out, but he didn't live up to our standards."
Marwan Al-Shehhi: “He was dropped because of his limited English and incompetence at the controls.”
Salem Al-Hazmi: "We advised him to quit after two lessons.”
Hani Hanjour: "His English was horrible, and his mechanical skills were even worse. It was like he had hardly even ever driven a car. I’m still to this day amazed that he could have flown into the Pentagon. He could not fly at all.”


A plane is not extremely hard to fly around the open sky, but if the intent is to execute any kind of a maneuver with even the least bit of precision, the task immediately becomes quite daunting. And if the aim is to navigate to a specific geographic location hundreds of miles away while flying at over 500 mph 30,000 feet above the ground, the challenges become virtually impossible for any untrained pilot. Especially someone who cant pilot a Cessna.

From the Greenbelt (Maryland) Gazette:

The standard evaluation consists of one-to-one-and-a-half-hour flights east over the Chesapeake Bay area. Hanjour paid $400 cash and provided a valid pilot's license from Arizona, Bernard said. He failed because he showed problems landing the airplane and the flight instructor had to help him, Bernard said. But Hanjour's problems were nothing unusual, Bernard said. "There's no doubt in my mind that once (Flight 77) got going, he could have pointed that plane at a building and hit it."


Carry on..

Um, what kind of maneuver? Steering straight into an obstacle? It's not like they were doing aerobatics. Any idiot can steer a plane into a target that's wider than the plane's wingspan. On what are you basing your estimation of the complexity of hitting a skyscraper with a plane?


I dont think you can get behind the wheel in a plane already in flight and miraculously find out how to navigate to your target. A novice would be lucky to even find the city.
There were 19 hijackers. There were four planes hijacked. Only four hijackers had to have any ability to fly whatsoever. Your post shows five of the 19 hijackers got bad reviews from their flight instructors. You haven't shown that they lacked the talent to pilot a plane that's already in the air into a skyscraper. You also haven't shown that the other hijackers were equally bad pilots.

So what? Maybe someone else made the reservations.

IDs weren't required prior to 9/11.

What exactly is that supposed to show? Are there computer records?

Since they didn't need IDs maybe they used fake names. Maybe you're just wrong.

Really? You mean corpses the guys in the cockpit of a plane slammed into a building at 500 Miles per hour then engulfed in flames weren't autopsied? Fuck, I'd be surprised if identifiable parts of them were found.

Says you. And you're hardly an expert. You think that they could have "snapped the plane in half"

What kind of documentation would you like? The passports recovered? Or did you want full confessions left behind at the terrorist's appartments?

They're not known to be alive, their IDs are known to be in use. A friend of mine uses his dead brother's ID because he's got alot of felonies on his record. It's a normal practice. ID theft is a great way to get legal visas and passports if you're a criminal or terrorist. Just because their IDs are in use doesn't show that they're alive.



You know, debating with 9/11 conspiracy fools is alot like debating with creationists. They have their articles of faith and no ammount of evidence will shake that faith. Kazus, seriously, if you're not as stupid as a creationist look at all the evidence. You'll see that 9/11 was an al qaeda operation, not a US government or Israeli operation. If you don't want to face facts, then quit posting on this issue. You're wasting everybody's time.

http://www.willthomas.net/images/911/911-bases-flightpaths.gif

Those are the flightpaths. You dont just say "hey lets fly this way". If you are 30,000 feet in the air, your cockpit pretty much tells you nothing. You would have to navigate by instruments. If you cant even fly a Cessna, you cannot do this.

If you are over New York state, not knowing which direction you are even facing, theres no way to be sure you are travelling in the correct direction.

God damn did you not read a single word I said?

Please enlighten me. How would you, an unexperienced pilot after hijacking a plane somewhere over the US, be able to navigate to your target city?

...Several of my colleagues and I have tried to simulate the ‘hijacker’s’ final approach maneuvers into the towers on our company 767 simulator. We tried repeated tight, steeply banked 180 turns at 500 mph followed by a fast rollout and lineup with a tall building. More than two-thirds of those who attempted the maneuver failed to make a ‘hit’. How these rookies who couldn’t fly a trainer pulled this off is beyond comprehension.

That is what a 757 pilot said about the incident. And in case you need the flightpaths AGAIN:

Are you suggesting that the military should have shot down every commercial jet in the air immediately after the first plane hit, even in remote areas of New England?

On September 11 there was much confusion and disorganization. Some fighters were scrambled, but in the wrong places. Information was not being efficiently communicated. It was a surprise attack. None of this indicates a conspiracy.

Posse Comitatus act makes sending up fighters to shoot down commercial aircraft extremely complicated.

Remember that there was no precedent or planning for this. Nobody knew exactly what to do, and only the president could have ordered fighters to shoot down the planes. By the time that people could figure out what was happening, notify the president, get him to stop reading My Pet Goat, figure out how to advise him and get the fighters up and aimed at the right commercial jets the 9/11 attacks were over.

Its called Autopilot. Major cities have these things called airports that you can set your autopilot to and the plane can basically fly itself. Only time you have to touch your controls is to make course corrections.

'cause people dont like open questions ! nonsolved riddles are scary, arent they ? ...anyway conspiracy theories are a straight forward method to put the blame on whoever you hate right now... and furtheron a lot of guesses to unresolved questions are offered by uncounted organisations, politicians, medias and individuals whenever it sells or is advantageous in other ways ...
for you and me it seems to be easy to believe in those theories ... you dont have to worry anymore ! --- cause now you know.
.. if somebody cant find out by himself or doesnt have the time for profund researches on a topic to learn to understand whats going on, there is allways a third choice : patience - in 1o, 20 or 30 yaers everything will be explaind ... whene those who are to blame are gone.

I STRONGLY suggest you read the requirments for airworthiness before you make such assinine statements. The avionics of a 757/737 will not let you fly beyond the design of the aircraft.

This kills me ....NOR FLY LOW ENOUGH TO CRASH INTO THE PENTAGON
Then how the fuck do they land :confused:

The plane didnt land into the pentagon it crashed into the pentagon at about 400 mph.

I don't personally know why anyone would be desperate enough to blame 9/11on Isreal or Bush. Here are some things I learned from my good ole friend Mr. History Channel.

1. The towers weren't designed for today's planes or terrorist attacks. Keep in mind that the towers were built in the 70s. Different planes than the 80s, 90s, or new millenium.

2. Even though the towers survived the blast, the heat from burning jet fuel(no, planes don't run on mud or gasoline) would be enough to take the towers down. Why? Well, one possible theory states that the blast severely damaged the special coating on the beams that protected them, leaving them vulnerable to heat.

3. Don't trust wiki. Any idiot can edit anything.

Here's an example of why I don't trust wiki:
topic: earth.
original article: the earth is round.
edited article: The earth is almost spherical, bulging near the equator due to it's spinning.-clarification
second editing: the earth is completely flat. It also does not exist.-vandalism
third editing: Peter ran a little bit before he had to take a sit.-off-topic

Ok are you saying a 757 can't fly at low altitude ??? That is a pantenly STUPID statement period. All alircraft can fly at low altitude. With a SR-71 it would be a bad idea but 99% of all other it's not a problem. I'd like to foward these forum to you flight instructor so he/she can get a giggle.

How about we put this to bed. Breaking news CNN right now.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Video showing a plane crashing into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, was released publicly for the first time Tuesday, a judicial watchdog group said.

The Justice Department has handed over tapes showing American Airlines Flight 77 striking the building outside Washington to Judicial Watch, a public interest group that requested the video, the group said.

The video is available on the group's Web site, according to a news release from Judicial Watch.

Yeah.

"We fought hard to obtain this video because we felt that it was very important to complete the public record with respect to the terrorist attacks of September 11," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

"Finally, we hope that this video will put to rest the conspiracy theories involving American Airlines Flight 77. As always, our prayers remain with all those who suffered as a result of those murderous attacks."

After the first one hit, you just say "hey i guess we dont need to send up fighters, the tragedy is over"?

You guys are fucking idiots if you believe this.

Not a single structual engineer have come forward and said there were bombs. Not one. You can take Jeff King, an electric engineer, or a physics engineer, but when a structual engineer says "No, it's not possible", I rather take their opinion.

As for Loose Change, here is a good DEBUNK of the entire thing.

http://www.ccdominoes.com/lc/LooseChangeGuide.html

Just remember Loose Change does not even approuch any respectable experts, any real witnesses, or uses similes as concrete evidence. They use news from American Free Press, known for white supremacists and anti-jewish news articles. Loose Change creates straw man arguments and gets the WRONG ENGINE on flight 77.

And today, the pentagon video will be released. To piss you off, here is a FOX NEWS link to it.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,195702,00.html

They also ban people from their boards questioning their theories. In person, who writes a webcomic I read, was one of them:

I dont give a fuck about loose change and I have never watched it before. All I know is 5 Israelis dressed as palestinians who were later confirmed as Mossad agents knew these attacks were going to occur, filmed them, and acted content. I want to know what they had to do with it.

I also want to know why our government had all the information necessary before 9/11 to stop it and didnt.

I dont care about the physics, I dont care about the conspiracy, I just want to know who did this, because it is getting seemingly obvious that it was not Al-Qaeda or Bin-Laden.

No, sir, that is YOUR rules for debate. You can wish them to be true all you want, but the point is I just don't care. If I swear directly at you -- make you the direct object of an expletive-laden statement -- I lose points because I can't refute you, so I must attempt to smear you through the use of "colorful metaphors". I choose not to engage in that behavior because it's not only sophomoric, it's against the forum's rules. However, if I say "what the fuck" or even abbreviate it to "WTF", no amount of clout is lost in my argument. To you, perhaps, but that's you.

Someone who uses expletives as an adjunct to conversation is likely to have very little of importance to say. However, the occasional use (as my earlier use was...I'd not used any until then) is like a kind of intense spice. Too much and it's ruined, but used judiciously and creatively, it can enhance a statement. I don't imagine that NOT using the "spice" makes an argument weak, but neither do I think that careful and creative use weakens anything.

First off, I never said "stop asking" -- I said "stop asking HERE." This is not a 9/11 facts clearinghouse.

Second, the US policy on hijacked planes before 9/11 was relax, hands off and let them go where they want. THAT is why nothing was done. It's been posted here at least five times and you've chosen to ignore it. If you want an answer that better suits you, go find one.

Third, you are clearly NOT confused. If you were truly unsure, you wouldn't defend such outlandish claims with such vehemence and profanity! You'd go outside of NS and look for real support. You're just trying to troll your way into some attention, and congrats, you got it.

Finally, you're right, I wasn't there, I don't know it was Oswald in the same way I know that if I set my hair on fire, it'll hurt. However, Nova (PBS) documentarians re-created the exact angles and situations with regard to Dallas, and proved that three aimed shots in eight-point-some-odd seconds with a bolt-action rifle is possible for someone with Oswald's Marine training. The "Magic Bullet" was debunked because the original theory supposed that both targets were seated at the same height and lined up straight in the car. They simply weren't. The back seat was higher and the front passenger seat was slightly inboard of the back seat. With those more accurate data points, the trajectory of shots perfectly matches a lone assassin in the Texas Book Depository building. Now, WHY Oswald did it, that's a whole 'nother story. No idea there.

The point is, I'm satisfied with Nova's demonstrations and I'm satisfied with 9/11's explanation because nobody has produced even a shred of credible evidence to the contrary.

Oh so even though they were confirmed to be 5 Israeli Mossad agents, they werent? Excellent reasoning.
Isn't just about anything a possibility? There is no way to prove that anything is impossible! That's a basic rule of logic! We don't know the ways in which anything might happen because we don't fully understand the universe (good grief, I'm veering into cosmology for this guy). Asking to prove that something is impossible is the logical equivalent of the old lawyer question "when did you stop beating your wife" -- there's no non-incriminating way to answer it. Nobody can prove something's impossible in a scenario as complex as 9/11. Probability, however, is certainly available for examination.

Therefore, since you are so adamant that it IS possible, you MUST prove that your theory DID in fact happen. But you can't. Is whatever you're yammering about possible? Sure it is. But is it at all likely? Not no, but HELL no. Now please, have a cookie and some milk and calm down.

I have spent time with friends on the Subject of 9/11 and all the attacks. I have also watched convincing videos. many of which [I]could[I]have been messed with, but the point is that the governement either did it or wasn't involved.

The pentagon attack. There was no evidence of a plane. there was a video of it i watched. and it showed a white object crashing into the building however it was unclear if it was a plane or missile. The hole that the plane/missile made was a small one. Not quite big enough for a plane. One thing though, the yard of the Pentagon. it was perfect after the attack and around the building. where are the skid marks from the "plane that crashed into the wall" Many witnesses have said plane and missile. For sure though, the government carried out something under a tarp soon after the "attack" what it was, no one will say or got paid not to say.

The plane "crashing" in Penn? I'm not sure the exact location, and i think it was flight 93..? but anyways, where was the plane? there have been many plane accidents that involved similar things to flight 93. planes don't just disappear. rule out fire. there was nothing left behind. a big dent in the ground. no debris. Many people have also "sighted" flight 93 elsewhere, which i don't necessairly believe.

The World Trade Centers were obviously hit with planes. Now.. i watched a hour or so long video on the wtc. it was quite interesting. it showed that the building had a series of bombs go off while the buildings were burning. bombs? in the building? how? the security was testing or trying something new and was withdrawn from the area. the bomb-sniffing dogs and whatever else is around all that. ironic that it happened and then the towers were attacked?

Now, once again. these are things i have looked at and if you would like to see them try to contact me. like i said earlier, these videos could have been messed with, but i doubt it. the government took the videos from surronding hotels near the pentagon and have never released a lot of useful footage that would prove one of the theories. i am not necessairly anti-american. just very unhappy with the way it is being ran and how the dealt with 9/11

I believe the Gov't is not showing us a lot of information and that is suspicous. i believe that Pentagon was Not a plane. No way. and that the flight 93 never took place. WTC had some help going down, meaning bombs. Now even if the Gov't was behind this..why? This question has puzzled me, however one of my friends who is more in debt about 9/11. believe that it was to help the economy. Now don't come replying back to me about how a huge "terrorist attack" could help the economy.

FoX news told me it was a bunch of Arabs controlled by bin laden (who was a CIA trained fella who’s brother Salem bin laden was in business with Bush many years ago in the oil) Fox news told me that the government after a meticulous investigation that took hours found evidence that will prove that it was bin laden (I am waiting for the proof, any wako can make a video to say he did it to be famous)

Supposedly, the only proof linking all of this, is a passport found on the streets of New York of one of the hijackers (I suppose it wasn’t the passport of one of the alleged terrorists that where later found alive driving a taxi with no ties to terrorist groups) it is really amazing and a struck of good luck to have found that important document not burned in to ashes after that mega explosion that disintegrated concrete in to dust and steel beams in to melted goo on the bottom of ground zero, not even the black boxes survived that intense heat, even when they are constructed with the strongest materials known to man. That passport was a tough cookie indeed.

For me it is more comfortable to believe that hijackers planning all of this from a cave and armed with box cutters where able to delay the air force for 45 minutes (when the response time is around 15 min) and managed to shoot down the pentagon air defenses with only box cutters then to think there is something fishy with many things of the official conspiracy theory that it was saddam hussein with bin laden and box cutters.

I believe that we will never know for sure exactly what happened and why, but no one that claims to use his intelligence can ignore alternate possibilities to the official government theory believing it blindly, and more when the end result make more sense.

I just don’t understand the mind of the terrorist that are smart enough to pull this and fool the most powerful military force in the world and not think about the consequences of such acts of violence, why give the super power more pretexts to send invaders to their lands, even when the nationality of most where from Saudi Arabia.

So, call me stupid for beeng suspicious, I don’t care, I feel sorry for those that are afraid to think and let the T.V. think for them.

If you want evidence of something that doesn’t add up, just investigate how many military exercises where active in 9 -11 -2001, what purpose they had and for the first time who ask for the power to control the calendar of the military exercises, you don’t have to believe any wacky conspiracy theorist, its on government websites and corporate media, just really buried behind base ball, britnie spears and be afraid news. And by the way, find out what NORAD is or used to be. :mp5:

as for Mossad and the five Israelis, http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/fiveisraelis.html

And I watched both videos on judicialwatch.org and I see no plane. Just some small object and then an explosion. These videos do not confirm nor deny a plane.
i dont need to put words in your mouth, kazus, that is the implications of what you are saying. that hundreds of air traffic controllers and airforce personelle are willing to cover up the most heinous crime in american history. that our most patriotic citizens are willing to conspire with traitors. that those who have sworn to protect and defend the constitution of this country are TO A MAN willing to see it destroyed.

i see from looking at your link and then checking it on the net that the story varies from site to site. your link has them in a parking lot on the roof of the white van, another site has them on the roof of an office building, another has them in a state park

it looks to me like there are 2 seperate events, "arab looking men" celebrating the fall of the wtc, i have been told by a friend in nyc that she saw such celebrating on her way home that day, and the detention of several israelis. the report that they all refer back to on abc's website is no longer available so i cant judge how accurate that is. i get the feeling that abc found no big connection between the 2.

G'day all,

I was just watching a documentary on commercial television in Australia which briefly touched on some of the conspiracy theories covering Jewish involvement in the 9/11 attacks.

I have also seen a commercial television program, made by an American (apparantly banned in America) and shown on Austrlian TV which talks about reasons why the US government was involved in the attacks.

There's also a really c-grade google video called "loose change" which covers a lot of these theories.

Anyone seen it, or anything like it?

Just wondering if anyone knows of any good sources of information that attempt to counter or dispel these conspiracies???

For the quick-and-dirty, I'd advise Penn & Teller's episode of "Bullshit" on the topic. The Popular Mechanics article is also quite superb. The recently released security video from outside the Pentagon also guns a whole bunch of the theories to hell.

The point is that we have the president we do because we allow people with very little education and a very shallow understanding of the world to vote. Surveys have shown that Bush voters by and large are as stupid as he is. That doesn't mean that all conservatives or even all Bush voters are uneducated, but there's no question that a great deal of Bush voters are stupid.

The 9/11 Commission Report is to be regarded as a rather accurate version of the truth as per the fact that it was written primarily by authorities in their fields.

I don't read it so I wouldn't know. Doesn't matter, though. The devbunking in the article is not done by anyone at Popular Mechanics. It's done by experts specifically asked to respond to the conspiracy theories. For example:

PM sent a digital scan of the original photo to Ronald Greeley, director of the Space Photography Laboratory at Arizona State University. Greeley is an expert at analyzing images to determine the shape and features of geological formations based on shadow and light effects. After studying the high-resolution image and comparing it to photos of a Boeing 767-200ER's undercarriage, Greeley dismissed the notion that the Howard photo reveals a "pod." In fact, the photo reveals only the Boeing's right fairing, a pronounced bulge that contains the landing gear. He concludes that sunlight glinting off the fairing gave it an exaggerated look. "Such a glint causes a blossoming (enlargement) on film," he writes in an e-mail to PM, "which tends to be amplified in digital versions of images--the pixels are saturated and tend to 'spill over' to adjacent pixels." When asked about pods attached to civilian aircraft, Fred E. Culick, professor of aeronautics at the California Institute of Technology, gave a blunter response: "That's bull. They're really stretching."

THEY HAD AND ARTICLE THAT SHOWED HOW GUN CONTROL WAS INHERENTLY BAD.
That's thin. One article does not a bent make.

Skeptical Inquirer had an article a couple of years back showing that gun control doesn't work. Are you going to claim that they've got some kind of political bent?

I didn't used to subscribe to them. I also don't like popular mechanics in general because it's targeted to the steryotypical idiot male.

Roosevelt seemed like a pretty good guy.

So was Ronald Reagan but they were both still corrupt.

And that makes it right wing? Tell me why murder rates go down when people have guns and go up when people dont.

Roosevelt was no where near as corrupt as bush. And he helped the people. Bush has done crap for america, and more for rich america and it's corporations.

That does not prove that the magazine has a right wing bent. In fact, the article seems to be about how the viewpoint of assault weapons can readily change, or be changed by other forces.

You can insist he was corrupt and how ever wrong you may be, I cannot conferm it myself and therefore cannot argue against it.

No, steryotypical men that all those adds are targeted to. The ones that go out there and will buy all the huge ass cars because a magazine told them to. The ones that have blind faith in bad leadership because it's the "patriotic" thing to do.

so was every rich white man at the time. And that's not being corrupt, that's doing bad things. He actually gave all of his slaves their freedom when he died.

Stereotyping, even better. What a great way to make an argument.

Actually, the ownership of slaves is inherently corrupt. It is extending near unlimited power over another person without reason or cause, so as to benefit yourself. That's pretty fucking corrupt in my personal opinion. And to hell with the fact that he freed them when he died. He was dead, a dead man cannot actively exercise any power over another human being.

If you were to stop being so narrow with your social associations you'd discover that these "stereotypical men" aren't quite so stereotypical. Once upon a time I thought that the world was primarily populated by stupid people and I refused to deal with those I'd deemed stupid. But you'd be surprised at who I discovered was not stupid.
