What do 'Truthers' want?


OK , lets get this straight...I am from the UK and the left wing end of the political spectrum. Apart from having dated an American girl for a couple of years and visited New York once I have no real vested interest in 9/11. However when it happened I was so incensed by it that I told a friend that if I was younger and American I would happily strap on an assault rifle and slaughter whoever was responsible for it.
That was 11 years ago; but the "truthers" are still going. I've watched a few videos on them and they seem to be mainly Republican. Given that the government at the time was Republican headed by Dubya, what do they hope to achieve? Lets say Dubya was on his death bed and confessed that he personally authorised 9/11 and that all of the elite in the government were involved in it, it would be the crime of the century without parallel; you would expect nothing less than the execution of those involved and the Republicans would never be elected again.
So what do the Truthers actually want? The shaming of their party, the shaming of America? And why do they want this?

Actually I don't know what you mean by 'Truthers'.....I am an American. I was born and raised in Illinois. I am neither Republican or Democrat.

Let me turn the question to you. What would you do if you find out your government bold face lied to you? What would you do if someone you know was murdered? Would you want the 'murderer' brought to justice?

On 9/11/2001 we watched the murder of thousands of people, all in an elaborate hoax to pass new laws to better control Americans. We were told a story that was planned years before. People who knew it was going to happen had said something big was going to happen and they were going to blame it all on Bin Laden.

There is to evidence in movies, tv show, magazines and so forth to be purely a coincidence. As an American I want those involved convicted and to go to jail. As to execution, its not going to happen. Too many states now have banned the death penalty.

The official story is so lame a two year old could of done better. We are expected to believe that desert cave dwellers trained in the United States, on small air craft. Got passed security with box cutters, overwhelming all the people on board.....who never fought back, accept on one plane. We are expected to believe that these hijackers were able to turn off transponders, and fly Jet airliners accurately to their locations, without using controls that would detect they were off course. We are expected to believe that 4 Jet airplanes couldn't be found with all the radar we have. Too much of the official story stinks like Dog doo.

We are expected to believe that Jet fuel melted support beams in both buildings causing them to collapse as well as a slightly damaged building with no Jet fuel or plane damage. How stupid can we be as Americans to believe this story and not question it? We are expected to believe that these buildings turn to dust? We are suppose to 'forget' about videos where Police and fire officials are demanding the building to be evacuated because there are 'bombs' in the building. Witnesses who say there were explosions in the tower or towers before they collapsed?

We are expected to believe that the black boxes on the planes were never found. Yet a goodbye from a victim to his family was found undamaged in all the rubble?

If we tried to tell that story individually, we would be laughed at!

The official story has too many inconsistencies to be the truth, therefore it must be a lie. Why are they lying? To protect us? From what or whom?

reply

Btw there is no statue of limitation on murder.....so I don't care if it takes 50 years, justice needs to be served on those guilty of the biggest cover up in American History.

reply

The official story hangs together well; "people from the middle east" hate America and to a lesser extent Britain.They have some justification as both our countries seem to think we have carte blanche to interfere in the affairs of countries which have nothing in common with us. Somebody obviously piloted those planes into the WTC and died in the process.
If I believe Truthers I need to believe that a section of the US government conspired to set this up and that not a single one of those involved in the conspiracy has broken their silence. Furthermore I am required to believe that those people had no problem in killing children - in other words they were psychopaths of the most evil type imaginable.
When this happened I was 100% behind the invasion of Afghanistan and, to a lesser extent Iraq, but I now feel that the losses endured by "us" , America and the UK, are out of all proportion.
Do the Truthers want monetary compensation for those killed or if not money, what?

Actually, Truthers are mainly left-wingers.

reply

IDK if I'm a 'truther' but I am skeptical of the official version of what happened, the more I learn. What I want is: answers.
'Justice', as in punishment, is not what motivates my interest, because the chips will fall where they may, and that feels secondary to my interest. Fixing what appears to be a serious problem (if it was an inside job) will be the most positive outcome.

Truthers are not Republicans, they are quite the opposite. And they are people who have nothing better to do than use random bits of junk science that have been continuously debunked over and over again. Why hasn't one person talked yet out the thousands of people that are supposed to be in on it? Because it's a bunch of BS.

reply

Another thing I am interested in; what evidence would it take for the Truthers to be convinced that it was not a conspiracy and that the generally accepted account was the correct one?

Junk science? I am seeing things that don't add up. Within 30 or so minutes of the towers falling you have some 'eyewitness' on tv saying he seeing the buildings collapse, due to the heat from the jet fuel and because of structural failure? Common sense dictates normal people do not talk that way. People are were in shock on top of that.

Why were so called experts on the news already preaching that same BS story?

Why were some very key people, months prior to 9/11 talking about an attack that would be blamed on Bin Laden?

How do you explain the videos where officials clearly say get out of the building there are bombs. How is that junk science? There were clearly witnesses who said there were bombs in the building.

The WTC 7 building was being reported as destroyed, even before it fell? This is all documented on news footage. Much of which I taped on several stations that day. No 'junk' science about it!

Witness who was in WTC 7 building stated he was stepping over bodies! Did he make that up? He came forward! He is now dead?

I love it when people are too blind or scared to believe the truth, they are lead like little sheep.

As to the science of it, notable scientists have come forward and stated the jet fuel could not have been hot enough to cause the main support in WTC 1 and 2 to collapse, let alone WTC 7 that was not hit by a plane or jet fuel! How much fuel could there have been anyway? Explain with some sort of science would ya!

You also have not given a 'logical' or 'scientific' answer as to how Osama who was dying of kidney failure, survived in caves and mud huts?? Not 'junk' science, fact? Common sense??

Also how did cave dwellers learn how to fly JET airplanes? Have you ever seen the difference between small air craft and Jets? Huge difference?

How do you explain how they knew not only how to turn off transponders but how they could accurately direct the plans to New York to crash the planes?

Why with all the radar, technology and so forth...WHY did no one notice that all these planes were way off course? With the history of hijackings, why weren't the air force directed to immediately intercept the planes? If they were ordered to stand down....why?

Why were there so many 'drills' at the Towers prior to 9/11? Does your so called 'official story' stand up to that? NO!

I am not a left winger, I am just an American who wants the truth. I don't want money. I don't care about fame. In fact I am doing very well. I own my own business, own a house on a hill. I am a bit of a bully but that doesn't make me evil! In fact before 9/11 I didn't even pay attention to politics. I was live and let live.

I want to see justice in the form of the ones responsible going to jail. Those involved being exposed.

There is too evidence that proves there are too many issues with the official story, therefore it has to be a lie in part, correct? Well if there is a lie or lies in there, the whole store comes into question.

Yes seeing the truth calls into question our government. We have to ask, has our government lied to us before? Answer yes!

I can understanding being afraid to ask questions but if you don't, you will never wake up. If you don't wake up, you will remain a good sheep.

I'm not sure whether you are replying to the other poster who deleted their post, or to me. If it is me I would thank you to remain civil.
As I said, I am British and have no vested interest in the matter, I am just curious.
I've asked a simple question "What sort or piece of evidence would you require to convince you that the "official version" was actually the correct one?
If there is no evidence which would convince you of this, simply say "there is no evidence which would convince me".

Actually there is nothing that will convince me the official story is correct. There is too much evidence to the contrary.

Apparently none of the Truthers here have bothered to actually research the other side. You know, the one that is backed up by actual science. Popular Mechanics dedicated an entire spread to debunking all these 9/11 falsehoods that have been propagated by people who can't do a simple Google search to find an explanation. I personally have done my own research about the conspiracies and for awhile I was beginning to think that the Truthers weren't all that crazy. But every time I was about to join that side, I would find out that the evidence that was presented was either fabricated, manipulated, or somehow altered to fit the Truther agenda. In other cases, whole bits of information were completely missing. Truthers like to pick apart random little pieces and forget the whole picture. Other times, they will take a single sentence from a quote that sounds really bad, but if you actually read the whole damn quote, you realize it means nothing. I'm really getting tired of it. I had a totally open mind, but I'm not convinced. All I hear is "but buildings don't melt like that" and "buildings don't fall like that" and "but, but the black boxes went missing" from people who are neither qualified to actually make statements of that degree. I swear, if I hear about that "pull it" quote one more time....

reply

You are an idiot luv_to_shop if you believe anything Popular Mechanics said. Do your research and find out who actually owns the magazine. You are like a little sheep headed for the big slaughter. It is easy for you to bring up the fact that the buildings blah blah blah....but you don't offer any explanation for how cave, desert dwellers flew jet airliners 'accurately' into the trade towers and the Pentagon, without using any of the controls that direct the jets? You also have not explained how WTC 7 that was not hit by any planes, just fell?

It is a known fact that Popular Mechanics research has been debunked. Do your your search! Also use your brain!

I did not make this video.....but watch.....OPEN YOUR EYES....WAKE UP!!

Wow. You're a class act calling me an idiot and hurling insults. And yet I should take your advice? Riigghhtt.... Typical Truther. Can't respect other people's opinions without calling them names. You're calling BS on Popular Mechanics which has been around since before you were born but cite a random YouTube video to back up your *beep*? OK. You probably eat up Obama's constant lies but get swayed when some pot smoking conspiracy theorists gather up a bunch of random crap and present it as fact. I'm guessing you watch Jesse's show and assume everything is true as well? Can you answer me an easy question, by the way? If you're right, and 9/11 was a massive cover up by the US government, why hasn't a SINGLE person run to the press and talked about it? Huh? You KNOW the press would have a field day with it since they hate Bush. According to Truthers, there are thousands of people in on it, yet not one has the guts to come forward? Not one? I'm calling bull on that, too. You already said in another post that nothing will convince you otherwise, yet YOU call ME out on being closed minded? Hypocrite.

reply

First of all, I am not a so called truther. I am an American who wants to see justice. You are right, it was wrong of me to call you an idiot. You haven't awoke and seen what is real.

You ask me to answer a question but you have yet to answer mine. How did cave desert dwellers accurately steer jet airplanes from distances flown, into the trade towers and the Pentagon? How did they turn transponders off? There is no science, nothing but common sense? Yet you dodge the question? You are going to tell me you can say with a straight face, that you believe they could have held all those people hostage with box cutters? Only on one flight did they fight back?

WTC 7 survivor Barry Jennings came forward and discussed what happen. What he saw.....he was threatened. He eventually released a statement. He is dead now. Died in 2008.

Beverly Eckert, her husband died in the towers. She never believed the story and did numerous interviews. She died in a plane crash.

A janitor from the trade towers, Ken (not sure last name but you can research), he reported there were explosions in the basement. He is now dead, an apparent suicide?

Paul Smith, he was one of the Chopper Pilots who caught the plane hitting tower 2. Killed by a cab driver in an apparent road rage chase.

This next one would appear to be not credible based on her line of work. Deb Palfrey, she was a hooker. She said she had evidence that would blow the lid off 9/11. She was on a radio broadcast and the announcer ask her if she intended on killing herself (as an apparent morbid joke or a point that some witnesses had died so forth). She said she intended on exposing the 9/11 and had no intentions of killing herself. Sadly not to long after the radio broadcast, some weeks later she was found dead in her shed, an apparent 'suicide'.

These are just a few....there are many more. Yes if you sift through the list of them all, some could be coincidence but how much can one attribute to that? People killing themselves, strange accidents? Really?

So, to answer your questions.....people have went to the 'press'. Many are dead because of 'natural causes', or some suicide. Also you have to understand the press is controlled by the very group who pulled off 9/11. In fact if you research you will see some of the people who have come forward. If you really believe the 'press' hates Bush, then you aren't seeing the reality.

As to coming forward for those involved, you have to realize what kind of people they are. You don't know evil, until you look into the hearts of those involved. Pure evil, and just as the so called 'Terrorists' of the official story, those involved with the true story were surely promised something very similar.

reply

Forgot to add, think about this. Four planes, none of them had the 'random' US Marshall aboard. The Terrorists had to somehow get into the Cabin to fly the plane. You wouldn't dispute me on that fact. correct?

Ok first thought, they held someone hostage using the box cutter, demanding the door be open. Would at least one of the four planes immediately call a mayday or something they were being hijacked?

Second thought, they broke down the door? So while they are breaking down the door, wouldn't at least one of the Pilots or Co-Pilots from the four planes call in they were being hijacked?

Third thought, they were able to sneak there way in? Ok on one, maybe two planes at the most! But all four? Could they really be that lucky?

This has nothing to do with how the buildings fell, science or such. This is just logic and common sense.

What part of this 'official' story that they fed us, sounds real?

reply

So what actually happened on the planes, in your view?

"Knowledge is cheap at any price"

reply

I don't really believe the planes that crashed were the Jet airliners they were suppose to be. If you look at close up pictures of some they are all gray. Drone planes maybe? Some believe there were no planes at all. I believe planes of some sort hit the trade towers, this with material that was already put within the walls of the trade towers during several nights prior to the attack. This is mainly based on things I have read and videos I have watched. Including footage I taped on 9/11

Now what happen to the 'real' planes, is a question that those involved with it and God only know. Unless the planes were on remote control, like the Pilot episode of 'The Lone gunman'. Where they address the storyline of a terrorist attack on American soil, involving crashing a jet into the twin towers, that is controlled by remote. Air date early 2001.

The question of flight 93 is one that will remain a mystery. Rumsfield in an interview mentions a plane they shot down, a slip he quickly corrects but still it was made.

Here is another thing to think about. Read where the plane from the Pentagon came from. Read what kind of turns it would have had to make. In addition, It would have nearly had to land to crash into the Pentagon at the speed and angle they claim. Do you really believe a desert cave dweller mastered landing a jet after training on small planes?

Too much evidence points to cover up.





reply

They didnt really start putting marshels on planes until after 9/11 numb nutz. Sure there were some before but not alot. Even post 9/11....1 in 4 planes dont have a marshel on it. Real solid arguement there. How many planes are in the air any given day? Probably a couple thousand. So u think its suspicious marshels werent on those 4 planes out of the 1000's in the air that day? Thats incredibly circumstantial! Thats not even worthy of being called a coincidence.
How did cave dwellers learn to fly planes? Hahaha well thats easy. They took flying classes where they were taught to....wait for it.....fly! This is a known fact! They took flying courses. Instructors thought it was suspicious( in hindsight)they didnt want to learn how to land, but 9/11 hadnt happened yet. If they wanted to be extra cautious they could of alerted the FBI or somethingi. Pretty sure it was on a single engine plane. Big difference between a commerical jet that was used. Lol that is very astute of you. Atleast your good with shapes and sizes. Yes im sure taking off and landing may take extra training. But once in the air im sure its the same. Left is left and right is right. Have u ever heard of a flight simulator? Theres a ton of instructional flight simulators. They make them for all aircrafts pretty much. Fyi you can buy or torrent them for your home computer. On there they could of easily honed in on their navigational skills. Remember they didnt need to learn how to take off or land, merely steer the plane. S**t man i could do that.
Ive heard OTHER Truthers say "Why didnt the military shoot down the second plane after first hit?". Well there wasnt alot of time inbetween attacks. By the time they knew what was happening, shooting down the second plane over the city would have been even worse. Thats the military shooting down a commercial jet full of civilians over a populated area. The plane wasnt checking in prior to impact. Ok thats definitely concering at a time like that. Before i shoot it down I would have to ask the question how common is that? Out of all the planes in the air how many werent checking in? Unaware of the situation at hand of course. Should they have just started shooting down everyone not checking in?
Also saying truthers are mostly republican is the dumbest thing ive ever read on imdb and maybe ever. Its the 100% the opposite. That statement alone lost whatever little remaining credibility u had. That puts u @ negative 1.Truthers are mainly bleeding hearts liberals, Hate the us goverment, paranoid about the goverment and cover ups, protesting etc, yet still demand the goverment takes care of them. So stupid. Conspiracies are a popular genre in general. Both sides of course have followers. But definitely more liberals. Personally I would find a republican source much more credible. I find reps are more of the critical thinking type and liberals are the emotional thinking types. But thats ok we need those to sometimes. Liberals are like emo teenagers rebelling against their parents left for college and directed their angst towards the goverment. Yet still want their allowance. Reps are the parents that have to stop them from doing something crazy and screwing up to bad.

I feel bad about being so combative with you. Its just so obnoxious to see you calling people sheep because they arent buying your crap(no offense). Its full of holes and logical explanations. I just read the next posters response that said alot of same things i just did. U heard him out. U said they were good points. I to have to work on my conduct on here. Actually i havnt been posting lately because its usually argumentative and leads to ugliness. U do know alot about conspiracies, i can tell. U actually look into alot of stuff. But from a biased perspective. U love conspiracies man. Nothing wrong with that. But thats how u look at stuff. LOOKING for a conspiracy. The explanations i made and that other poster made were very similar. They also immediately came to mind after reading your theories. Almost like common sense that was over looked. Like the whole number of air marshals thing. Or the fact that the terrorist did infact have flight training. Yet your mind still went to well...they trained on small planes. "Thats a big difference than a jet". Which is also easily explained. Flying a plane big or small. Up is up, down is down, left is left, right is right. Doesnt take rocket science for someone with pilot training to veer right and fly into a building. Or the fact that they could of trained using a flight simulator. Took the training course for hands on experience prior to mission. That is a great example belief perseverance. Dismissing obvious, rational explanations or failing to see them to begin with, and only interpreting things in ways that will make your theory or beliefs more sound. But dismissing logically obvious ones first. Like with the air marshals. The first thought in my head was well... How many air marshals are in the air usually? They cant be on every flight now can they? Good questions.

Alot of your "facts" u stated have been pretty much debunked here. If each of your facts represented the bricks of a building, it would of collapsed. To many gaps and missing bricks. The building couldnt support itself and neither does the theory anymore. I mean if u overlooked things as routine and obviously as " active air marshals" and "flight training" thing, u must question everything u came to believe about conspiracies(not just 9/11). I mean what else have you overlooked on your quests for answers? I mean those two examples had logical answers that most people would of naturally arrived at or atleast considered first.

reply

No they have not been debunked!? How can you debunk the fact that as you claim, these terrorist people learned on a simulator. It is not the same thing. Your claim that all of them on each plane had to understand how to turn off tracking, fly the planes to their destination. For a minute, think how stupid that sounds. You never flew a commercial plane, only on a simulator as you claim, yet in mid air, you could accurately turn the plane and find its mark? Really? Can you honestly say that without laughing your rear end off?

Ok the air marshals aside, are you telling me that no one on those planes, accept the one that crashed, would stand up to someone who had a box cutter? Woman with purses have a more deadly weapon then a box cutter? It makes no sense? Can you honestly say you wouldn't fight for your life?

As to democrats and Republicans, all those claims. They are two sides to the same coin. One thing you can't argue with me on is, that the normal joe smoe doesn't run the United states. MONEY does. The rich do! Money talks, BS walks.

Do you honestly think that the story they tell us is the absolute truth?

You will never convince me that someone who has lived in a country like that, learned the technology of a commercial Airliner in that period of time to accurately crash planes into the Pentagon.

In additions, where is the footage of a plane crashing into the Pentagon?

Why did a trusted news reporter say there was no evidence a plane crashed at the Pentagon, and he came out and said he didn't believe the official story. He's dead now of course, strange?

Why did someone in the 'sub basement' of the trade towers say they felt an explosion , prior to the plane hitting the building? This can't be debunked, the guy is still alive.

There is footage of witnesses who were there saying there were bombs?

Why was it necessary to use a 'paid' actor to get the plane story out there? This can't be debunked! Its a fact.

How were telephone calls made from cell phones from a plane? This never has been fully explained? I don't know about you, but any cell phone I ever owned has never worked in the air!

Why wasn't the trade towers treated as a crime scene? It was the biggest 'terrorist' attack on American Soil. Yet all the evidence was removed and destroyed?

None of this sounds strange to you? Taped evidence of the owner of building 7 saying they decided to 'pull it and then we watched the building collapse'.

There is too much evidence that contradicts the 'official story'. So if they lied to us in part, doesn't the whole story come into question?

Its sad when people are so set on believing what they are 'told' and don't do research. But you keep believing our government has our backs. That we live in a safe society. We are 'protected' by those in power. That is your choice.

I respect your post, TmTalker. Now, you said that I did not answer your question as to how 'cave desert dwellers' could have flown the planes without having previous experience. Now, I could have sworn that I recall that they had taken flight courses for months in preparation for the attack. Also, you ask about why they were able to hold people hostage with box cutters. Well, try to picture it from their point of view. They were probably be terrified out of their wits. Some of those passengers witnessed crew members being brutally murdered in front of them, don't forget that. And you really think people that terrified are all going to have the same collective desire to fight back? Most of them were probably more concerned with saying their final goodbyes to their loved ones, others were probably too scared to do anything. You're trapped thousands of feet in the air with a bunch of religious extremists with box cutters (which are very sharp by the way) who have already killed people right before them. What else is there to do once you know you're going to die? The flight that fought back was able to do so because they were told of the hijacking plot and that they weren't the only ones. The other flights didn't have that opportunity.

Now, the Air Marshal question you brought up has an easy answer. According to what I found online, there were only 33 Air Marshals who were on flights that day. They didn't used to put them on every single flight, just ones considered to be high risk (certain international flights, etc), and only after 9/11 did Bush call for an increase in the number of Air Marshals on flights. Nothing bizarre there. It's similar to the increase in security at airports after the attacks. It wasn't really that tight before compared to what it was following the attack.

As for why the terrorists were so successful in holding people hostage and getting their way into the cockpits, well it's not like they didn't prepare and practice these scenarios hundreds of times. And how many people do you know who would be able to confront a crazed religious fanatic with a box cutter held to someone's neck, waiting to kill them at any second?

reply

luv_to_shop, you have some good points. The thing is I have stared death in the face. Not as extreme as this but with a knife wielding psycho. I chose to fight and fight I did.

I just find it very hard to believe that even with months of training on small air craft, they would have mastered a Jet airplane. 'Its a different kind of flying, all together'. Think about a small plane and then a jet. The type of engines, the controls, the gauges. All different.

I also find it hard to believe that they were successful on all four planes at getting into the cockpit. Maybe one, two at the most?

I agree with you on the US Air Marshal, they were randomly on planes. When you are doing independent research see how many US Marshals were on planes prior to 9/11 on many given days. Check that number against what it was on 9/11?

We know the official story says the people on flight 93 fought back. If that is the case, why on only this one plane? You know that that there were woman on that plane that had to have purses that could have been used as weapons. People with laptop bags? Powerful weapons against someone holding a box cutter?

At any rate, I apologize again for calling you an idiot. As you know I said I could be a bully. I am working on that!

Lets just agree to disagree ;)



reply

That's OK, apology accepted. Sometimes I overreact myself for some reason when I'm on these boards. And yes, even though we disagree, I respect your opinion.

reply

A purse or laptop against a box cutter is a awesome weapon if your jackie chan. How did they steer the and navigate the planes? Umm...i dunno? Put a box cutter to the pilots throat. Told him to fly towards new york. Then took over once within view? I know given the situation thats seems highly unlikely(sarcasm). I mean Its not like they were being held hostage or anything. But its irrelevant because we all know it was acutally grey drones that terrorist flew into the towers and that david copperfield made the 2 real jets and its passengers disapper.

reply

Really? A purse would knock the hell out of someone. You can honestly sit there and type that you believe no one would fight for their life? Honestly?

Knife to throat, ok but how did they accurately crash the plane into the Pentagon? No pilot would have done that? So in theory lets say they flew toward the Pentagon, how the heck did they nearly land the plane, avoiding cameras and crash? Still have some lame excuse. Maybe he held a knife to the pilots throat and said if you don't crash I'll kill ya!! ROFLMAO!

reply

Hey MJ, i see u on a bunch of threads calling people sheeps cause they dont believe in some of your ramblings. It also a known fact that the terrorist had hours of flight school. As a matter of fact one of the red flags that should of indicated something was up is because all of these terrorist only wanted to learn how to fly the plane and not take off or land. Once a plane is in the air its probably not to difficult for even a amatuer pilot to crunch in coordinates and set autopilot or simply coast into a giant tower. Assuming that alot of piloting knowledge transfers over from aircraft to aircraft, even someone unfimilar with that model could figure out how. Otherwise vice versa would a commerical jet pilot need special training to fly a small air craft like a cessna? I do however think its a little sheepish to think that just because someone has slept in a cave before they couldnt learn how to fly a plane. Personally i float in the middle nither left or right. Even when I do feel a little leftish on a issue its really hard to relate to a lefty. I find them well... Crazy. Usually leads to a paraniod driven conversation with fear of authority with undertones of anarchy. I do also find how a previous poster listed that alot of info i hear from that side seems to be 1 sided, taken out of context and making connections that just arent there or supported. Like a michael moore film lol. Also as far as getting intel about the attack prior to 9/11 is blown out of porportion. They heard about this back when clinton was in office. The person that was following up on it was laid off when clinton cut half our military. The guy in the cia passed the file on with many others. Now even if thats accurate, how many terrorist OR national threats do we(USA)get a day? If you were thinking maybe a few hundred..youd probably be right. So we were supposed to prevent from some attack from intel from a ex-agent that was passed on many years ago?
As far as people on the scene saying bombs are going off as proof.... Pfft. Really? In the pandemonium, smoke and chaos people thought it was bombs? How is that possible? Yep must be a cover up right? No retarded. How good of visiblity is the skyline in new york from the street? Probably really bad. They may have not scene the plane is the most likely scenario. Also maybe there were bombs. Its possible with the explosions in the footage. But wtf do u think the goverment planted them and not the terrorist? Did that even dawn on you? There goal was to crash into the towers well... Maybe that was plan B or just to make sure they go down. Either of those suggestions seem alot of likely considering a network of terrorist took responsibility for leading to a large scale army assault and destroyed them.

So you think 'probably' these terrorists were suppose to, after a some hours of flight school on a small air craft, be able to accurately take the controls of a jet airliner, know the coordinates of the Trade towers, go off course and hit the towers and or the Pentagon? Really? Do you realize how silly that sounds. Repeat it to yourself.....I can't believe you don't get it!? Or maybe perhaps you do and you are starting to wake up and are going through these things in your mind.

Here is the thing though. Start watching old footage on Youtube.....and I mean REALLY watch it. Listen to interviews from the fireman who were there and witnesses. Research how many survivors, families of survivors and workers question the official 'story'. If these terrorists planted bombs in the buildings, how did they get them in there?

The official story does not add up......

A cave dweller accurately was able to nearly land the plan and crash it into the Pentagon.

No black boxes, which are designed to survive crashes....SURVIVED. Not even the one that went down in the field?

If part of the story comes into question, wouldn't you question the whole thing?

As far as people on the scene saying bombs are going off as proof... Pfft. Really? In the pandemonium, smoke and chaos people thought it was bombs? How is that possible?
Well that's a nice argument except the people I've seen on youtube reported they heard explosions, as if they could have been bombs. Hearing explosions makes the thing suspicious.
Also yeah and what happened to the voice and data recordings, the super-tough black boxes? If a passport of an alleged highjacker survived, made of paper, how come the black boxes didn't??? Suspicious. Where's his body? Burned up, crushed into dust? Yet the passport was intact?
Keep an open mind.

And someone who was in the sub basement of the towers, clearly heard a bomb go off before the planes even hit! How do you explain that one?

He's still alive too! His story has not changed!

You raise a valid question OP, but it is highly unlikely that you'll get a direct answer from "Truthers". You'll get a lot of circular answers like "I'm an American" and "I do my own research thus I am smarter than the masses" but that's about it.

The thing about the majority of conspiracy theorists is that they just want to spout what they believe is the truth. That's all well and good because different opinions are typically a good thing but since they're not subscribing to mainstream ideas (which, again, ain't a bad thing), they think they're smarter than everyone else and can't have an intelligent debate without resorting to name calling (see this thread for instance).

In short, most don't want a resoultion. They just want to be different and slam others that don't think like them. It's not about truth or justice, it's anout their egos for the most part. There probably is a whole lot more to what we're told about JFK or 9/11 but most of the CTs undermind their own supposed cause to tell the "truth" by being total a**hats. It's a pity really because I believe more people would be willing to listen to other viewpoints if the more vocal CTs would present reasonable thoughts clearly and get rid of that whole "You're sheeple if you don't think like me!!!1111 crap. It doesn't matter if these people sat up Googling sh*t as if that's extensive research, no one wants to be called a moron for having a differing opinion.

Well if you don't question.....if you go through life without trying to find the answer, then you are a sheep. I will continue to question the official story because it isn't true in whole.

My questions have been based on fact.....

There is too much evidence that calls into question the official story. So yes, if you believe the official story and do not question, yes you are a sheep. Because what does a sheep do?

Is lead to the slaughter......

I am not a 'truther' but I do want to know what really happened that day. Its not as our government claims and it isn't about what 'truthers' claim. It is somewhere in between.

I'm just gonna take a wild, wild guess and say, the truth? Just saying.

clearly we can't handle the truth. thank goodness we've got so many good-hearted people in power looking out for us...
