From The Skeptics Guide

In your creative diagram you ignored the fact that the NIST, FEMA, MIT, et al, and the videos, photos, and the Purdue cartoon, all contradict your explanation. So are you using the evidence to support your conclusion or simply coming up with a conclusion that you imagine could have happened?

I don't think it matters that much what you think the people saw. If there were not thousands of people in a position to see the attacks on a Tuesday morning in downtown New York, as most reasonable people would assume, it's your job to come up with a reasonable explanation of why on that one occasion the default position was different, and if so, why, on that very special day, nobody mentioned the incredible oddity of the situation. Then you can come up with an explanation of what might have motivated them in their entirety to collude with a fake explanation. But first things first. What kept the hordes off the streets?

Witnesses reported seeing missiles, small planes, no planes, and a big plane, but the damage evidence doesn't support all of those reports, and considering witness reports are notoriously unreliable, then those that don't fit the damage evidence ought to be considered with that in mind.

If as the damage evidence indicates, cruise missiles were used, then that means the authorities, that provided the radar data, the witness accounts, and the videos of the fake planes, are to blame.

Name them!

Blah, blah, frickin', blah! You're going by early news reports only. And before anyone was on the ground, so all the networks could do was speculate.

The damage evidence does support what everyone saw. Get over it.

Again, there is no contradiction that I can see of that you have been able to point out.

You seem to think that if you say something it is automatically true.

I admit, when I saw it, my reaction was "nobody can be THAT stupid" and I tried to look it up on Google. Nope, it hasn't reach that well of wisdom yet :D.

How can i verify beyond doubtany of those 5 points?

If America was under attack, why was Rumsfeld helping to clean up the Pentagon lawn when he was the top man responsible for protecting the nation? Why was the President,who's location was publicly known allowed to remain at the school, when nobody knew whether the attacks were over? If the attacks were real, those things wouldn't have happened.

ETA: Rummy would have been doing his job and George would have been whisked away immediately.

Could missiles (Yankee's video) knock the building sideways as seen so clearly in the Myers video? I'm going to say no.

Did they fake the plane and the building sway?

Newton’s third law states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

what? You couldn't figure out I meant "equal resistive", referring to Newton's 3rd law?

Interesting.
Can you explain how a 14 inch missile warhead can pass through a 14 inch space without getting stuck fast?

I am actually having problems figuring out most of the colossal nonseses you are feeding us with. Some consolation in the fact I am not alone...

He's treating the concept as a simple body equation that you run through in college physics. The applications for that may be useful in very, very simple physics analysis, but not remotely suited a complete analysis of a complex real world application. Same way we've had folks like Tzamboti try to treat the WTC buildings as a whole like they were monolithic steel masses to justify his multipliers for how much strain they could withstand. With a flimsy foundation, I see no need to allow the discussion to get bogged down into microscopic details about what an individual column could do.

Not withstanding, the OP's case for faked video footage is sufficiently hampered by supporting evidence from witness testimony, lack of evidence that the tapes have been tampered, and extensive photographic documentation, especially of the second attack that the remainder of the side-lined arguments don't square with the original claim.

Have you never seen jet engines hanging from wings? The thrust they produce is somewhat non-vertical.

How can you be certain of anything? I have only ever seen what I assume to be Canada on television or seen a representation of it on a map. Some school mates who went on a rugby tour to Vancouver in the late 1970s could be lying. I suppose the difference between scepticism and outright denial is one of trust. To my mind, being controversial just fr the sake of it is a bit pointless.

I place my trust in Neil (RIP), Alex and Geddy!

To put it nicely. Yankee and Itchy couldn't grasp breathing if it wasn't an involuntary reaction.

Why would I? As the damage evidence (otherwise known as reality) shows, something else happened.

You can rationalize it all you like. Don't let me stop you.

Maybe you haven't read the OP.

The legal standard of proof is "beyond reasonable doubt", and that is met.

Here are a few directions for your verification:

1. First hand observations by thousands of witnesses who saw the planes fly into the buildings

If you doubt them, do the interviews yourself.

2. Four planes took off from airports on 9/11 but never arrived at their destinations

Check the registration of the planes used for these flights, and their status.

3. Some of the passengers on those aircraft were able to make phone calls to news agencies and loved ones

I believe they were used in the Moussaoui trial. You could check the evidence presented there. It was good for a Court.

4. All of the passengers on those planes have disappeared, and the DNA of many of them has been identified at the crash sites

If you want to verify it, interview the families yourself. We have the passenger manifests of the flights (which included the hijackers, by the way). There are numerous testimonies of families of people who died on the planes.

5. All of the aircraft wreckage at all four crash sites were only from the missing airliners.

It matches the types that they were expected to have. I know of one particular piece at the Pentagon crash site that includes a serial number that could be verified:

http://11-s.eu.org/11-s/pgimeno-AA-serial.jpg

I don't know if this was verified. If you're interested, you may dig it up.

1 - Nope, this is your assumption, all because you saw it on television. You have not confirmed your assumption. Your assumption doesn't change the damage evidence which proves something else happened, regardless of how many people you assume saw it.

2 - So what? According to the damage evidence at all sites, no planes crashed there.

3 - Appeal to emotion is a logical fallacy often used in the absence of factual evidence.

4 - Prove any of them existed to begin with. The most likely suspects are the same ones who provided the "DNA" evidence. It is up to you to prove any of it is true, and then you can explain how it overrides the physical evidence which proves that even if they did exist, they didn't crash there.

5 - So what? The most likely suspects planted evidence in support of their conclusion. None of the "wreckage" changes the evidence which proves a jet wasn't responsible.

All the evidence converges there. There are some small anomalies but they don't affect the big picture. The anomalies you point out are worthless without a whole theory.

But your view requires that every new piece of evidence brought into the discussion must be faked. That's the inflationary model of conspiracy theories.

"A Good Theory can be distinguished from a Conspiracy Theory as follows: When repeatedly exposed to scrutiny, the Conspiracy Theory requires more and more people involved, and more and more extraordinary events in order to prevent self-contradiction. A Good Theory, in contrast, remains approximately static in complexity as it is refined."

What you're doing is usually called anomaly hunting, and it's not a valid method for approaching the investigation of an event, because you're going to find anomalies in everything.

For any given fact, it's possible to deny everything about it by implying more and more people. Here's just another pearl, some more eyewitnesses to the second plane:

(Minute 48:15 approx)

Note how some say it was a bomb, because they didn't see the plane as it was not visible from that side, but they saw the explosion. Then some others correct them because they did see the plane.

But of course, you're going to say these were actors, because there must be just so many people willing to pose as actors just to support the assassination of thousands of people, right? :rolleyes:

Again in accordance with the inflationary model of conspiracy theories.


The calls themselves are evidence, not an appeal to emotion. The phone companies provided the records for them. I was addressing ItchyBoy's question of how to verify these points beyond doubt.


Their names are in the passenger manifests of the flights that crashed into the towers, Pentagon, and Shanksville. There, proved.

There's also this TV show: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014gpjx where five CTers directly talked to the mother of one of the people who died in one of the flights. Want to check with them?

Mmm, aren't you a little late, pal? All this was done to death about fifteen years ago. Do you really think someone will be lured into re-iterating all the evidence for your benefit? I doubt it.

Hans

The low resolution compressed video still you posted is isn't even good enough to see the building's wall is made up of columns.

Complaining that you can't see what you couldn't hope to see is not evidence.

You must be great at parties.

Something I feel to be true will always be true (to me) if I never bother to look it up.

And, ironically, he's using the same videos as the basis for his conclusions. The same videos he tells everyone are fake. Oi vay.

That's curious.

If the plane was faked on that video, using some kind of masking/overlay technique (the details of which scarcely matter except to note that the effect is imperceptible even to experts) and thousands of pounds of jet fuel and debris are simultaneously launched out of the tower at hundreds of miles an hour, why does the building sway toward the material being launched out of it and not away from it?

It's almost as if a plane crashed into the tower after all.

In the pre-internet era, the answer would be take a basic journalism course and then start making calls.

Nowadays the answer starts with a question: are you going to believe anything you find online? Well then, take the basic journalism course and start making calls.

You didn't have an argument so you have to childishly resort to a silly dig.
We're mightily impressed.

It's hard to know what to believe these days regardless if you get your info online, at the library or from an 'expert'.s Not everyone has the wherewithal to take a 'journalism course'. There was a guy who made a bunch of calls. They didn't really prove anything beyond doubt. He called the people who made the videos, engineers from the plane manufactures and so on.

All one can really do is collect as much information as practically possible and then take your best guess.

As for journalists, If I cite Jon Rappaport or John Pilger's work, nobody here is going buy it. Then wehave 'journalist liars like Mike Walter and the incompetent ones who spread the Nayirah Kuwaiti incubator story. These days, anyone looking for the truth is basically has to use their own sensibilities to separate the wheat from the chaff.

What happens when someone's best guess is based on bad science fiction rather than fact?

That's a rhetorical question because we have ample evidence right here in this thread.

So get a book from the library, while there are still libraries.

If you don't believe the evidence that's available you're going to have to collect your own, and that's likely to be a lot of work.

And yet somehow that Straw Man ends up getting embedded in a tree during a tornado.

You loose.

So if a scientist, medical doctor, or government official makes a statement your default is to automatically disbelieve that person. But when some CT Baboon makes a claim you eat up.

Rumsfeld and his guys came out to see what happened and jumped into help move the injured, not clean up the lawn. He did that because at that instant it's what a good person does - helps out. His security team quickly got him out of there.

In the case of Bush, at the time of the attacks he was in a secure location, and the Secret Service and local law enforcement was quickly assessing the exit route back to the airport along with the airport perimeter to make sure some kind of an ambush hadn't been set up. As soon as they were confident they could get him back to the airport they got him moving.

Only cowardly CTists go running off at the first sign of trouble without thinking.

You cite thousands of witnesses. WHere are they? Thousands were not interviewed an those that were told conflicting stories. There was one vid where the reporter on the ground said, "I didn't see a plane" then the on-air person 'corrected't them, "Ya there's a plane I saw it on the monitor".

They didn't need thousaands of crisis actors, only a few like Harley Guy and probably the CTers you mentioned. The CT community is awash in moles an people posing as truthers. Which in itself is another tell that something is up.

ERA: Having been at this stuff for 15 years, I'm convinced there's no way for the average person to verify beyond doubt the official narrative. Not in 9/11, The Apollo 'landings', or any other so-called CT. What we CAN do is spot improbabiliies, contradictions and implausibilies which point to the offical narrative being a fiction. Like Rumsfeld on the Pentagon lawn. Hey, Donnie, 2 planes just crashed into the wTC,another one hit us right here and another hijacked plane went down in Pennsylvania. Thanks for the info, Joe. I better get right down to the lawn and help the cleanup.

Ray Davies wrote a song about that...in 1980
