Bad news, America is doing just fine. Sorry to disappoint.

Also, everyone knew Bin Laden and Al Qaeda was behind it because they told everyone who'd listen they had a plan to strike the U.S.

What you're saying it is somehow strange that after two identical buildings collapsed after impact and fire that the FDNY Chiefs, who were standing in the shadow of WTC7 for most of the day, somehow gave an accurate assessment of the time of collapse. Five to six hours. That's what the cool kids call a big window. Plus, they were looking right at it and listening to it collapse for over 20 minutes before the final plunge.
Quote:
Then again, if they had foreknowledge then why not stay in WTC7 because they would also know there were only two planes, and thus no threat of other incoming jetliners like the unwashed of the NYPD, FBI, and FDNY were told.

Then the Palestinians were shown celebrating in the streets after the towers collapsed.

no evidence for tanabear, lots of BS
Already knew? lol, you mean the fire gave away the cause?
Yes, the biggest office fires in history after the towers are hit by Kinetic Energy weapons (aka Heavy Jets) equal in energy to 1400 to 2000 pounds of TNT - do you think fires not fought can doom buildings? Oh, you believe the towers fell due to fire... never-mind UBL disagreed with you - thus you lost this fantasy attempt at blaming people using imaginary evidence. Why would you use an OEM right nest to the biggest emergency in history, right next to the area where Fire Fighters have jurisdiction and would evacuate neighboring buildings? You have to be the dumbest investigator in history making up BS OEM is empty not realizing why... the Biggest fires in history people jumping, and you want people coming to the OEM next to the disaster? Do you try to use logic, facts, and evidence, or did you ban the use of critical thinking skills to make up the dumbest 9/11 BS. |

Some might say that tanabear's post was off topic since it makes no attempt to address the question in the OP. However, practically speaking it perfectly illustrates the actual answer: They don't, they just change the subject and post a wall of text that tries to assert something completely irrelevant.

Wow, CTers are so clueless that they view it as "incredibly suspicious" when experts predict something and get it right.
My hometown was hit by a storm over the weekend. The weather report warned us days in advance. Clearly an inside job. |

Fox News reports: “Investigators within the DEA, INS, and FBI have all told Fox News that to pursue or even suggest Israeli spying… is considered career suicide.… A highly placed investigator says there are ‘tie-ins’ between the spy ring and 9/11. However, when asked for details, he flatly refuses to describe them, saying, ‘evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It’s classified information.’” The report also reveals that Amdocs, an Israeli company, is recording virtually every phone call in the US and could be passing information on to the Israeli government. Fox News suggests that the position of this company might impede the 9/11 investigation.
Fox News removes its series on the “art student spy ring” from its website after only two days, in response to pressure from The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) and others. CAMERA suggests the reporter “has something, personally, about Israel.… Maybe he’s very sympathetic to the Arab side.” The head of the ADL calls the report “sinister dangerous innuendo which fuels anti-Semitism.” Yet there does not appear to be any substance to these personal attacks and Forward magazine later reverses its stance on the spy ring. Fox News also never makes a formal repudiation or correction about the series. The contents of the series continues to be generally ignored by the mainstream media, but it makes a big impact inside the US government: An internal DEA communiqué from December 18 mentions the Fox report by name, and warns of security breaches in telecommunications as described in the Fox report |

Bernie Kerik is an American former police officer, consultant, and former commissioner of the New York Police Department. He oversaw NYPD's response to the 9/11 attacks. He was Rudy Giuliani's right hand man and left NYPD when Giuliani's tenure as mayor ended. He became ministry of Iraq with his own security details with mercenaries from South Africa. He was a one time security head of a Saudi Arabia hospital where Saudi Royals frequently attended.
After an 18-month-long grand jury investigation conducted by the Bronx District Attorney's Office, Kerik pleaded guilty in Bronx Supreme Court on June 30, 2006 to two ethics violations (unclassified misdemeanors). Kerik acknowledged that during the time he was Interior Minister of Iraq, he accepted a $250,000 interest-free "loan" from Israeli billionaire Eitan Wertheimer and failed to report it. Kerik first met the billionaire, whose vast holdings include major defense contractors, when Kerik took a four-day trip to Israel less than two weeks before September 11, 2001 to discuss counter-terrorism with Israeli officials. On November 8, 2007, Kerik was indicted by a federal grand jury in White Plains, New York on charges of tax fraud, and making false statements to the federal government about the $250,000 he received from Wertheimer. Prosecutors further accused Kerik of receiving about $236,000 from New York real estate mogul Steven C. Witkoff between 2001 and 2003. Some of the New York charges were dropped in December 2008, but Kerik was then re-indicted on the same charges in Washington, D.C. On November 5, 2009, Kerik pleaded guilty to eight felony tax and false statement charges, specifically two counts of tax fraud, one count of making a false statement on a loan application, and five counts of making false statements. He was sentenced to forty-eight months in federal prison and three years' supervised release (probation). Kerik was represented by criminal defense attorney Michael F. Bachner. He surrendered to the U.S. minimum security prison camp in Cumberland, Maryland, on May 17, 2010. He was discharged from federal custody on October 15, 2013, and after serving five months' home confinement, his supervised release concluded in October 2016. Kerik was granted a presidential pardon by Donald Trump on February 18, 2020. Kerik Group: http://www.thekerikgroup.com/ |

How you can tell this is a lie, or otherwise a fabrication. If the information is classified, then the actual existence of the information is also classified. Can neither confirm of deny, response would be expected. But a flat out statement that the evidence exists that links A to B, would be considered leaking that information, and if they are going to do that, then they would leak the actual information.
So, no, this information doesn't exist. Whomever was selling it found a gullible buyer and landed him like a fish. |

Have you read the DEA report? Remember this was year 2000-2001 when the internet was fairly new and cyber security was lax

Look, we get it.
Guys like you NEED Jews to be behind 9-11 because it is part of your inbred world view. Not one thing you have posted cites clear evidence of Mossad involvement, and not one thing you've posted debunks the mountain of evidence that Al Qaeda carried out the attacks. |

I’ve seen some folks attempt to square that circle by claiming that al-Qaeda is real but they were funded, armed, trained, and directed by the Mossad (the anti-Semitic variant of “the CIA created al-Qaeda.”). Or, that it was a joint CIA/Mossad operation. Truthers trying to have it both ways.
The thing is: I‘ve actually engaged with Truthers on the Saudi angle, naively hoping to find some common ground, but to the extent that anyone in the 9/11 Truth movement engages in that it INEVITABLY leads to them saying, “any Saudi involvement was done on behalf of the US and Israel” or “the Saudi stuff is a red herring” or “it was all the US government and/or Israel, there were no hijackers, al-Qaeda is a CIA/Mossad op”, and so on and so forth. I’ve come to the conclusion over time that none of them are interested in genuine questions about 9/11 or any good-faith critique of all the various “official” 9/11 investigations. They will always devolve into anti-Semitic and anti-government paranoia. |

The internet was not new. The Web was, certainly, but I first heard of the attacks, on the internet.
Cyber security only seems lax, it really wasn't, but when compared to the threats now, maybe. I mean, sure, some holes existed then that don't now. But it wasn't wide open. |
