TGB predicted 9/11!

This is the problem with so-called "truthers", as with those who insist there was a conspiracy to kill JFK, fake the moon landings and so forth. Your alleged "facts" are not facts. They're falsehoods, rumors, misrepresentations and the like, perpetrated -- and perpetuated -- by liars, fools, paranoids and fast-buck artists who prey on the gullible, delusional and unintelligent. Your four points demonstrate this admirably:

--Your statement about the planes is factually inaccurate. They can attain such speeds at sea level. Why couldn't they? That aside, there is film footage of both jet liners crashing into both towers. Clear, unaltered footage, not to mention the testimony of hundreds if not thousands of witnesses. From this footage the speeds of the aircraft can be determined. But let's allow for a moment that your "fact" is correct. So what? The towers and the Pentagon were plainly and obviously hit by airliners. What difference does the speed make? This is a typical example of conspiracists' claims: making unsubstantiated or inaccurate statements that are in any case irrelevant, in order to cloud the actual facts.

--The buildings didn't pulverize from the fire. They pulverized when they collapsed. (If they had "pulverized" from the fire they would have to have evaporated.) I have no idea what you're talking about when you write of the steel being cut into "nicely sized bits", but (a) that is not accurate; (b) fire doesn't "cut" anything into pieces, it burns; (c) the fire was hot enough for long enough to do what it actually did, which is melt the steel supports in the building, which caused them to soften, bend and finally give way. And that happened because the spray-on fireproofing on the beams was blown off due to the impacts of the planes.

--Your cell phone allegation is false, as even some conspiracists now concede. Even the trio of losers who produced the addle-brained "documentary" Loose Change, charging 9/11 was a government plot, removed that allegation when they actually investigated technology and found that cell phones could indeed make such calls in 2001.

--Lack of crime scene investigation? Are you serious? The entire site was sealed off as a crime scene for months. I was there; I saw it. The site was investigated by many agencies, federal, state and local. That is an absurd, even idiotic, lie.

I know of, though have never read, Griffin and his claims. The fact that you seem to rely solely or primarily on one person's false and delusional writings is proof of your closed mind and, in your own words, qualifies as willful ignorance.

Though you say you're "not absolutely convinced that it was a false-flag operation", there is nothing to indicate you're in fact open to anything other than some version of the lunatic fringe claims that 9/11 was an "inside job". The so-called "credentials", whatever that means, that you so pompously state you've never felt necessary to lay out, are unimportant and, I imagine, not trustworthy.

Conspiracists like yourself cannot posit a single, coherent, logical and above all fact-based narrative that establishes responsibility, proves unequivocally what happened and is based on unassailable, demonstrated facts. Instead, you rely on lies, falsehoods, distortions, half-truths and innuendo. You use phony facts, fake questions and false information to argue individual points that are not only untrue in themselves, but which have little logic, make no sense, don't mesh with other portions of your "theory", and most notably contradict one another as well as your overall conspiracy claims. This explains why there are so many variations of 9/11 conspiracies. In the absence of actual facts, every conspiracist comes up with his own version of events, with different sets of "facts", different claims, different villains and so on. Of course, some of the same actors pop up in all these different theories, but no two are quite alike. If you actually bothered to take all the conspiracy claims and try honestly to make a logical, let alone sane, narrative out of them, you'd fail. For example:

Cell phones. As I said, even many conspiracy people have long since abandoned this canard as a disproven falsehood, though you still cling to it. But the inaccuracy of your claim aside, to believe it means that this mythical, omnipotent conspiracy had to have the complete lists of passengers weeks or months in advance, locate them, find out what they sounded like, know which families' members would be home on Sept. 11, and make sure the passengers whose voices they'd fake actually flew on the planes, all in order to have time to find actors so perfectly able to mimic the voices of dozens of those passengers that they could fool their wives and husbands. This is insane, but if you believe the cell phone nonsense you have perforce to believe in these necessary steps to make the conspiracy work.

Planes. Regardless of their speeds, and your falsehood about the jets' being "impossible to control" near sea level at 450-550 MPH, the jets did in fact hit the twin towers and the Pentagon. This makes your fake issue irrelevant in any case. Therefore, this can only be a precursor to -- what? The claim of many 9/11 liars that there were no planes at all? That this was special effects? That the planes were much smaller twin-engine jobs? That the four missing airliners didn't exist? That no plane crashed in Pennsylvania, the conspirators just dug a big hole in the ground to fake it? Or that the planes were real but were secretly flown to some location where all the passengers were interned and have been imprisoned for the past 13 years? The psychotic allegations of "truthers" include these and other contradictory, illogical, delusional or simply impossible claims about this crucial aspect.

The collapse. Despite incontestable proof of how and why the WTC and part of the Pentagon collapsed, the lunatics continue to argue that the collapse was due to tons of explosives secretly brought into the buildings over the weeks beforehand. How could this possibly have been managed without being discovered? Have you any idea of the physical bulk that the explosives necessary for such a task would take up?

And it goes on and on. Now of course, people like you are impervious to the real truth, let alone to facts and logic, and instead cocoon yourselves in the literature [sic] of conspiracy theorists. This can only indicate either a delusional personal state or simply not being very smart, or both. You ignore not only truth but common sense in pursuit of preconceived notions based on ignorance, lies and misinformation, as your four points above so clearly demonstrate. This also explains why you haven't tumbled to another obvious fact: that the reason people like Griffin write "books", plural, is that they make their money spinning this crap out, year after year and book after book, for fools like you to buy and reinforce your preconceived and impervious delusions.

Most significantly, if you and other conspiracists had proof you wouldn't have charlatans like your pal Griffin and the rest writing multiple books with different theories, different "information" and different claims. You would have all found, exposed and proven, unarguably and with precision and definitiveness, the exact same persons, groups or organizations who you claim committed this deed, shown precisely how it was carried out, proven how the collapses came about and all the rest. And you wouldn't be basing your claims on fake questions, false science, misinformation and out-and-out lies. Again, if as these people claim 9/11 was a government-backed conspiracy, they should all have come up with the same facts, same guilty parties, same conclusions, and backed it with evidence that would stand up in a court of law.

The attacks of September 11, 2001, happened only one way. The fact that conspiracists themselves pose thousands of different, contradictory and illogical theories and cannot offer a shred of honest evidence or factual proof for any of them is in itself proof of the groundlessness of conspiracy theories, the greed and dishonesty of conspiracy theorists who profit from their books and DVDs, and the desperate need of some pathetic people to insist on illusions rather than accept reality.
