naah, cool music. :) Liked the wake turbulence section...
Been convinced for years that the whole 9/11 thing is a conspiracy.. Spent a lot of time in the US in October 2001 and also when Gulf was invaded. After talking to a lot of people about, you become more and more convinced the government is behind it all to gain international sympathy for their expansion plans in the mid east.
World Trade center - gets world support as major international companies involved, as opposed to say blowing up the statue of liberty
Pentagon - 'look they attacked our military, we can now seek retribution with our military'
Plane crashes enroute to white house - 'plucky American citizens save the day by sacrificing their lives' story of hope to get ordinary citizens behind the impending 'crusade'

very interesting .... but I think everyone with half a brain realises that the US government had something to do with 9/11 ..... which is really sad ..... killing their own citizens just to get more black goey stuff to run their tanks and planes for more invasions .....

Its everybody with a half a brain that can think out BS like this. Is this attached court case still an ongoing conspiracy? Even after the effect? With Bush approval ratings down? Give it to them they know how to conspire a conspiracy for many years after the effect. Utter bull!. Also why hit their own economy hub if a hit on the Pentagon would have been enough? Was it that the GVT plan happened the same time as the Al Qaeda events or is AL Qaeda a fiction of the American conspirators minds? Maybe they are a special unit compiled by Bush with US marines, SAS, RAF, IRA and other soldiers or may part of the special scorpions units or even SPCA , they have to little to do in ZAR.
Plain utter BS!

I haven't seen one bit of credible scientific evidence that the US government had anything to do with the attacks carried out on 11/09/2001.
There's a lot of hoo-hah on the internet about conspiracy theories, but not one of these "studies" has ever undergone any serious attempts to replicate results or propose mechanisms such as those in the official report.
Now if the CTs can just start proving (using the scientific method) their claims, I'm sure a lot more people will actually believe them. At the moment all they're doing is hand-waving without any kind of hard evidence to back it up.

How about the evidence plain before your eyes and ears. None so blind (as those who will not see, none so deaf...) If you cannot recognise an implosion when you see one... if you can't hear the charges going off - and see them - then any amount of evidence will make no odds. And - how many science studies do you want? LG has posted many - by respected scientists in their fields.

The interesting part is that the attack showed up in government reports before it took place, how's that for evidence. And don't think the government gives a crap about it's people. The fact that the death penalty is still in place even though 75% of people wants it abolished can attest to that. If it was orchestrated by the government then it wasn't for oil or anything, but in order to take away all civil liberties, which was the first thing on the agenda after the 'attacks'.
And anyone who says that all these theories is ridiculous, does the term "weather balloon" ring any bells.

There is a growing trend to make people laugh at CTs as foolish people. The more this takes hold, the more difficult it is for conspiracies to be uncovered.
I for one want to know why video evidence has not been released. We all "know" which plane crashed into the Pentagon, and at what time etc. What is there to keep secret?

I am unfortunately unqualified to speak on the mechanics of implosions, but if you look at the official report the collapse of the buildings is examined in detail (by of all people: engineers, architects and construction workers). We should immediately reverse this, as it is obvious to all that the opinions of a physics professor and a bunch of realtors are more relevant than those of the experts.
I have yet to see ONE scienctific study that supports the conspiracy theorists. If you think differently please enlighten me. BTW, scientific studies are usually published and the results are then peer-reviewed by other experts.
Sorry, but you're totally wrong. All the scientific evidence backs up the 'conspiracy' version, not the official story.Where can I find this "evidence". Most (I haven't looked at all them yet) the studies I see on Arxiv and Google Scholar support the non-conspiracy view.

So you discount David Ray Griffin's views because of his religion but you have no problem accepting what George W. Bush, a self-confessed born-again Christian, tells you. Somehow I don't quite think you're being fair.
Let me just add that David Ray Griffin's talent is for bringing together the research of many different voices and presenting it in a concise and easy to understand manner. This is what makes him one of the leading voices in the 9/11 truth movement. To have a look at a presentation he gave (video and audio files available) go to this site:
http://www.911blogger.com/2005/04/proper-release-of-griffin-in-madison.html
(This isn't his best talk. The one where he concentrates on the Twin Towers is better in my opinion. I'll see if I can find a link to the video. Meanwhile here's a transcript (http://911review.com/articles/griffin/nyc1.html).)
Kids, kids, kids! It's a lot of BS! Do not believe everything you see or hear. It is easy to find info against and for it! as easy as it is to take snippets of events and put it together as the only truth! You have to use your brains and some logic at least!

Somehow I don't quite think you're being fair. Oh my word, what a massive misunderstanding of what I've been writing. If George Dumb***** Bush (imbecility be his name) wrote the official report I don't think there could be anybody that would accept its findings. Fortunately, he didn't write it.
[edit]
Anyway, I didn't ever imply that DRG was religious, I only wrote that his speciality seems to be the philosophy of religion. For the life of me I cannot see how that field would have been relevant in the 9/11 investigation, whatever its other merits may be.

I mean, if these people really had evidence of a conspiracy don't you think they would have let the world know by now? I'm sure the rest of the world would show some interest in such a finding. Instead all I find are articles on the internet and "research" by people not qualified in the relevant fields.

And related to an earlier post... latest footage and Moussawi trial - building collapses from the top down - and impacts the floor where the plane went in - surely was supposed to have collapsed down from the plane impact floor - and not the floors above collapsing first?

Off course not, and the majority of scientists will say so. The scientists who belief that we evolved from apes are actually only a hand full. But because the majority can't give an explanation of how we came into being no one wants to give them the time of day.
The stories and "evidence" from the few who beliefs the evolution myth are so full of holes that they are continuously being proven wrong. Why haven't they found the missing link yet? Very often they find a creature who they say is the missing link only for it to be proven later as part human with mixed parts from actual apes.
They found every other link between different species, even though those remains are millions of years older. Yet they can't find the 'missing link', which is suppose to be a lot more recent. Why? Because it doesn't exist and has never existed.
I've gone somewhat off topic here, but this shows you that the widely accepted idea isn't always the right one.

Off course not, and the majority of scientists will say so.You must be kidding.
The scientists who belief that we evolved from apes are actually only a hand full.Really? I know that the amount of biologist who don't accept the TOE are vanishingly small.
But because the majority can't give an explanation of how we came into being no one wants to give them the time of day.The TOE is a framework that follows all five steps of the scientific method:
1. Observe some aspect of the universe
2. Form a hypothesis that potentially explains what you have observed
3. Make testible predictions from that hypothesis
4. Make observations or experiments that can test those predictions
5. Modify your hypothesis until it is in accord with all observations and predictions.
Thus it can be used as a scientific theory. As soon as the detractors of the TOE construct their alternative theory, the world's biologists may be interested in listening.
The stories and "evidence" from the few who beliefs the evolution myth are so full of holes that they are continuously being proven wrong. Why haven't they found the missing link yet? Very often they find a creature who they say is the missing link only for it to be proven later as part human with mixed parts from actual apes.Really? Please provide evidence of said holes. Why, I think it was just yesterday that the discovery of another "missing link" (http://www.pandasthumb.org/archives/2006/04/latest_fossil_f.html) was announced. The whole "missing link" is a fallacious argument used by the Creationists, and to a lesser extent, the IDers, you surely don't fall into one of those groups?
They found every other link between different species, even though those remains are millions of years older. Yet they can't find the 'missing link', which is suppose to be a lot more recent. Why? Because it doesn't exist and has never existed.Really? I refer you to Talk Origins. (http://www.talkorigins.org/)

Really? I refer you to Talk Origins. (http://www.talkorigins.org/)
They've proven that dinosaurs existed. Claiming they existed up to 100's of millions of years ago. They say that birds come from dinosaurs and have "proven" that by giving us the pterodactyl. Again, where is what they have dubbed the missing link? Their theories claim for our brain capacity to have doubled in only a few thousand years, an increase over four times as much as in any other period throughout history. Again where are their explanation. At least we "creationists" have the explanation for that, but they don't want to accept that explanation because it proves their TOE to be incorrect.
I've gone somewhat off topic here, but this shows you that the widely accepted idea isn't always the right one.
Really? Please refer me to where you showed any such thing.
With all the hole in their theories how can you still claim for their theories to be correct. All they have proven to me is that they are constantly changing their mind when they are proven wrong and will continue to do so. At least the "creationist" theory is more or less consistant.

Science is always contradicting itself to "make sense" of something unfathomable. I remember having to learn about light... first the wave theory - this worked well for many other theories... then the quantum theory... for those theories that just didn't work with the wave theory... Theories come and go. Isn't it strange that Darwin thought his own theories to be foolish when he was on his way out.
Make no mistake... I believe in evolution... to a point... I mean - it stands to reason that my Collie wasn't always a shepherd, and he displays those charactaristics despite the fact that we don't have sheep. BTW... where did apes come from, and why are there still apes... etc.
You gotta admit that there are some pretty compelling arguments to support intelligent design... or creation...
One of the fastest evolving things around are theories behind all these things.

they already are there :D cant go any more backwards
Darwin didn't get religious at the end of his life, this was an urban legend created by religious fanatics for their own ends.
I'll try to explain evolution as I understand it briefly.
Natural selection plays a large role, basically this comes down to small differences in species, for eg. some humans are a lot taller than others, imagine a nation of warrior-types that need to be tall and strong for survival. Slowly the smaller and shorter guys will be phased out, as they're not as likely to survive the conditions. That civilization ends up being mostly tall or whatever.
Same thing happens with intelligence, I've got a few really smart friends and it seems to run in the family, the genetics get passed down through the generations. Also, every now and then 'normal' people have a really smart kinda prodigy kid even when the parents aren't particularly smart.
The same thing could've happened to apes, basically, I mean very basically; imagine a group of apes slightly more intelligent than the norm, I mean, they're just able to understand what would be most beneficial for them in terms of survival, they start using rocks as tools or whatever, while the other apes don't understand. They split off and start their own group and continue their line.
Anyway I don't want to get too involved in this explanation but it makes sense to me. And to all you people thinking that religious 'creationism' explains this, you are truly fooling yourself to such a high degree that I'm actually kinda impressed. Creationism doesn't *prove* anything, it's entire hypothesis is based around saying "Oh, we can't possibly explain such a magically fantastically wondrous thing like this ourselves, we gotta chalk this crap up to that guy up in the clouds, and his little kid, oh yeah - don't forget the ghost."
It's a terribly backward way of thinking, the kind of thinking that can take us back to the dark ages. Why don't you want to try to understand why we are the way we are? Why are you so against this idea? Why do you find it so easy to disregard it as something 'incomphrensible to our mortal minds' when we are actually on our way to find out the truth?

It is obvious, from my firsthand knowledge of the events and the detailed documentation that exists, that the agents in Minneapolis who were closest to the action and in the best position to gauge the situation locally, did fully appreciate the terrorist risk/danger posed by Moussaoui and his possible co-conspirators even prior to September 11th. Even without knowledge of the Phoenix communication (and any number of other additional intelligence communications that FBIHQ personnel were privy to in their central coordination roles), the Minneapolis agents appreciated the risk. So I think it's very hard for the FBI to offer the "20-20 hindsight" justification for its failure to act! Also intertwined with my reluctance in this case to accept the "20-20 hindsight" rationale is first-hand knowledge that I have of statements made on September 11th, after the first attacks on the World Trade Center had already occurred, made telephonically by the FBI Supervisory Special Agent (SSA) who was the one most involved in the Moussaoui matter and who, up to that point, seemed to have been consistently, almost deliberately thwarting the Minneapolis FBI agents' efforts (see number 5). Even after the attacks had begun, the SSA in question was still attempting to block the search of Moussaoui's computer, characterizing the World Trade Center attacks as a mere coincidence with Misseapolis' prior suspicions about Moussaoui.

Once they release the reports yes. Unfortunately it's classified as always. :rolleyes: What is there to hide? ;)
If it's classified then how the crap do you know about it?
Jesvs, conspiracy theorists...

The point is that there was this rumour, they don't want to disprove it, so it stands to reason they have something to hide. If it's not that then it's something much worse.
The reason why most western civilized legal systems have 'innocent until proven guilty' as a rule, is because it is infinitely more difficult to disprove something than it is to prove something.
Think about it.

I would still like to know what is in that reports and on those tapes. Until the original copies are not released everyone including me can only wonder what is in them. Naturally all kinds of strories are going to develope. If they don't want this to happen they should release what they have so people can see the truth whichever way it points.
I agree with you, but such is government. Although, I believe there are some things the general public should not know for the sake of national security. I don't know where the line is drawn.

National security are things like missile launch codes and security codes. Not information on events gone past unless they want to use such information in a trial in which case they have to turn it over to the defence first (oops, wrong century, they don't have to do that anymore because of new terrorism legislation. So much for fair trials in the land of freedom and opportunity)
