What if I read predictions by nostradamus?
That is not apt.
The books are sound investigative journalism, something you won't get from mainstream media on a topic like this.
Do you also believe the official story of JFK's death? Jim Marrs could set you straight on that one, too.

Why don't these chaps who are making so much from books explaining the truth pool their money, stick it with some other theorists and pay for a brand new fully independent investigation? Or is it better for them to keep printing books?
Oh that assumption again - they're all writing books for the money - what the books say is crap. That is repeatedly posted like a mantra but it's not convincing. Not if one is a seeker of the truth.

You said you had an intuition about tarpley that he was telling the truth, that is an abandonment of reason and logic.
I've got news for you.
Everyone uses their intuition in judging what to believe and not believe, including you.

It's not sound investigative journalism. If it was it would be much bigger news..it's a flawed study.
Hi. Just a point. Absolutely zero of my friends question the official story. Amongst us are 2 doctors, a professor, a number of teachers, a pilot, a patent translator, a couple of bio chemists, and i'm a qualified civil engineer. All of us would describe ourselves as left leaning. None of us have an agenda, none of us suffer from cognitive dissonance. That paragraph is absolute nonsense of the highest order. Posting that as reason to doubt the official story is beyond ridiculous. I'd hazard that my group has generally above average intelligence. I'd go as far to say one of our mates is eventually heading to a Nobel prize. I don't say this to brag or to make myself sound like Charlie big shot, only to show how utterly condescending and ridiculous that paragraph has.

You say all that and finish by calling the other poster condescending. Quite a feat. Btw I was the first astronaut on Pluto, and I also invented the dog.....and I don't believe the OS.......

That is another mantra. If it were true, it would be all over the news.
What people have to get a grip about is that the mainstream media is part of the problem not the solution.
Also, the books I've mentioned are not scientific studies done by a mainstream university or whatever. That's what you're making this sound like.
It's not like that.
Tarpley and Marrs are independent investigators who write books on their findings.
They do not answer to anyone but themselves.
That's the key.
We are living in a world that is dominated by a corrupt power structure if it's mainstream.
One has to be independent of the mainstream if one is to speak truth to power.

Well, my point was that you can claim to be whoever you want on a forum, and know as many "educated" people as you like. It doesn't add any weight at all to your opinion, or any credibility to yourself. We are all just internet nobodies with an opinion, and the discussion should reflect that.

There are other examples of steel and concrete buildings that have failed from fire alone
Could you please name an example of a steel building failing from fire alone? I've only seen the examples of ones that have burned for a long time and not collapsed. One specific example for the other side would really help as it is a big point used against to official story. Please don't use an example of the other buildings on 9/11. It would be greatly more effective to have an independent example.

My last reply to you was meant for someone else, sorry. Just for fun I was going to reply to you with the typical "that means nothing because of course the FBI would cover their own tracks..." but instead I'll be grateful because I think that honestly clears up another aspect. Thanks for the link and I hope more people click on it.
