It’s been said that you call a person a conspiracy (theorist) because you don’t want others to think about facts or content. Name calling is a time-tested tactic of bullies everywhere. The method works well on the intellectually lazy or weak, but not for the strong or independent-minded.
The 9/11 Truth Movement has grown rapidly worldwide, because it has the integrity of honest enquiry going for it. It asks questions and demands answers. If you believe the movement is a fringe element of society consisting of a few young crazies on the Internet, take a look for yourself. Engage your brain and do some research.
You will find the following websites more interesting and more creditable than anything media bullies O’Reilly or Hannity or Larry King might shower upon you. Google any of the following: Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Veterans for 9/11 Truth, Patriots Question 9/11. Lawyers for 9/11 Truth, Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Medical Professionals for 9/11 Truth, or Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth and begin to examine the evidence.
If one Googles 9/11 Truth on the Internet, one will get seven million, three hundred ninety thousand hits. Many are well maintained websites like 9/11 Blogger or 9/11 Truth.org This is a mere fraction of the millions of people who have looked at the evidence and understand the need for a new and independent criminal investigation. You will also discover that most family members of 9/11 victims support a real investigation into the 9/11 attacks.
The search for 9/11 truth starts with the recognition that anyone, even people in power can and do lie. The official story of 9/11 is easily proven to be false. Our corporate controlled media continues to have great power to manipulate our thinking; but as GW has said “fool me can’t get fooled again”. Many of us have been fooled by the official 9/11 story, but once you have examined the evidence, you will see through its fallacies and you will not be fooled again.
If you believe that 9/11 is old news, remember that we live in the Post-9/11 world, the phrase “since 9/11” is used by warmongers everyday and that there is no statute of limitations on murder.

‘Name calling is a time-tested tactic of bullies everywhere. The method works well on the intellectually lazy or weak, but not for the strong or independent-minded.’
So the best way you have to argue your point is to start by calling those who disagree names?
‘a fringe element of society consisting of a few young crazies on the Internet, take a look for yourself. Engage your brain and do some research.’
That’s it! Bully them into doing what you believe! After all, they’re unmotivated, unthinking, brain-dead know-nothings who deserve the derision.
Web sites that reinforce other web sites that are based on suppositions and misinformation from the untrained and the unknowing are a lousy source upon which to base a world view.
If 9/11 was truly a conspiracy, we have to agree that it was a vast one, involving a large number of people. Eight years later not one of the conspirators has found Jesus and had to deal with a conscience tormented with guilt and come forward to point the smoking gun.
All we have are grainy videos to support people who need to see and believe in the superiority of their contrived conclusions over the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They need to believe that Brown-skinned people could never devise and execute a plan as complex–and yet as simple as simple as 9/11. This goes in the face of proof that the ‘rag tag band of brothers’ has executed attacks in Madrid, London and Mumbai. That they have fought one of the mightiest military machines at a virtual stand still in Afghanistan doesn’t prove competence. That Osama is still out there at large doesn’t matter or prove anything. Only a Western mind could conceive and execute such a plan.
Hey–it’s time to get over ourselves. Yes, a ‘third world’ conspiracy that was not taken seriously and ignored out of Western arrogance that is being perpetuated by the ‘Truthers’ was the cause of 9/11! Believing that the gang of incompetents in the White House could concoct and execute in eight months and then maintain the conspiracy for eight years is incredible. But people believe in Big Foot, that the moon landing was faked, and that the earth is only a few thousand years old. Hey, use your brain and do some research–it’s all there on the internet!!
Yup, you guys are great at asking questions and demanding answers. However, when you are given logical answers that are supported by science, witnesses AND common sense, you don’t listen. Give it up. Get back to proving that the moon landing was faked.
All one needs to do is witness tower seven fall three or four times to realize there were demolitions involved. From there , I’m sorry but your reasoning ability will need to used. Then let the cards fall where they may, but please, I beg of you do your own extensive research.
Richard–
Have you ever witnessed a demolition and seen the amount of destruction and work and explosives required? And to be able to keep this all a secret white the building is occupied and open to the public? There is not one shred of evidence to support this. Instead, ‘watch–it is obvious.’
Because an engineer cannot imagine something happening and has numbers that show it shouldn’t happen (only the crazies would say it was impossible) doesn’t mean they should be believed. History is full of the mistakes of engineers–in fact they learn and knowledge progresses by making mistakes and destructive testing. The towers were built to withstand a 707 impact. But a 727? And who can say if the design was adequate to withstand the impact of a 707? All they had were test results and simulations. In the immortal words of one of my college profs, “Oh, well, live and learn.”
Can anyone tell me why building 7 fell in exactly the same way the two towers fell on 9/11 – it wasn’t a “towering inferno” and no plane hit it – the mechanism of destruction of the Towers.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist (though my favorite one is the one circulated by the Wingnut Whacky Right and its Grand Wizard, Rush Limbaugh, in which they claim, International Socialism or Communism or whatever it is, is surreptitiously taking over the US by trying to give everyone decent education, a safe workplace, a better environment and universal health coverage!!! Hah!).
Just curious
The explosives were planted by Elvis and all the passengers on the planes are living on a remote island where ABC is filming a new reality show about their ordeal. It’s called LOST. You can rent it on Netflix. Keep digging, guys. The truth is in there.
Dude, ‘yer preachin’ to folks that believe the world is flat, six thousand years old and initially cohabited by dinosaurs and humans. Give it up, they’re to stoned out of their gourds on Ambiem, Prosaic, Viagra and Fox/CNN to grasp such complexity even in it’s simplest of forms.
You forgot one…”The melting point of steel is hotter than the temperature of burning jet fuel.” I only mention it because I love to point out that steel looses 50% of it’s strength at 648C, which is cooler than the temperature of burning jet fuel. Of course, I could have just waited a few weeks for another one of you idiots to write another letter and probably just mentioned it then.
lex parsimoniae…jets smashing into the buildings(simple, likely) or ninjas planting explosives(complex, unlikely)…it’s like these young earth people attempting twisted and mangled scientific explanations to support their worldview, then turning on the method when it can’t be contorted to fit.
