Former Spy Chief Reveals Secret Strategy for Undermining Freedom
- Ion Mihai Pacepa, former acting chief of Communist Romania’s espionage service, From Russia With Terror, FrontPage Magazine, 3/1/04
I believe the people behind the terrorist hijacked the truth and muddied the waters, with their propaganda.

I saw a documentary a number of years ago that converted me to your point of view. It featured extensive interviews with and a demonstration by demolition experts who said it would have taken many months of work by a very large crew to have prepared a demolition and there is no way they wouldn't have been noticed. Also, the explosions would have spread the remains of the charges used all over the site which also would have been impossible to conceal.

I don't know how things have changed since the building of WTC but[...]
But steel wasn't different back then.
Neither a plane nor fire would have brought those buildings down in that manner.

I know it's somewhere between the Official report and holograms...whether the obviously bullcrap theories became too popular organically or with shady assistance, I don't really care. Either way, IMO, looking into that wormhole is nothing but another quagmire that distracts well-meaning people from the search for the original truth....and that can only benefit those we already know are the shady ones.

A lot has been said and written about the quality and certification of WTC steel back in around 2003-06. But as you say structural steel was at least mostly just good quality steel back then, too. I think the assembling parts, connectors and floor trusses could have played a role if fire lasts long enough (which it didn't), but definitely not the core.
But this would still just all be about trying grasping how the twin towers at all could collapse "in that manner":
The simple thing is that these buildings exploded and mainstream physics had to be adjusted to have the event fit into a new reality - war against terror. In my humble opinion observation indisputably confirms that building 7 "collapsed" and that the twin towers exploded.
Since you've been in the steel business; a short animation. You probably seen it but anyway it gives people an idea:
And14263, we need to ponder about a few things that have been bothering me for a while. I get back to you later and we'll see if we can get a clue..

Please provide proof (something other than your personal opinion) about the fires not lasting long enough to weaken the steel enough to allow for structural failure. I realize you do not *believe* the fires could weaken the steel enough to cause structural failure, in spite of ALL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY, but I would love to see upon what you base that belief. I swear, some of you guys really seem to think that no matter how long a fire burns in a SERIOUSLY DAMAGED BUILDING the thing will just never weaken or fall, lol...

We can save that for another thread. This thread is about the people who knowingly fabricated lies to promote and derail the truth movement.

So what is your version of the 'truth'?

I think you've done a good job of showing a crop of theories being promoted that fail on multiple counts.
What I'm failing to see is any specific evidence that these theories are disinfo promoted by the "911 Perps". I agree that they appear to be disinfo, and MSM has frequently used the worst of them to marginalize any legitimate debate about the events of 9/11.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. However, it's a big leap to go from saying at least some of these theories probably are disinfo to saying that it is disinfo. Even more so to say that those who perpetrated 9/11 created the truth movement.
What has led you to conclude that it's not just "probably" a duck, but that it definitely is a duck?

This thread has gotten hijacked multiple times with many doses of off topic comments.
The point of my thread is that the people who posts these nonsensical theories are meant to distract you from real truths and evidence.
If you want to talk about collapse theories or space weapons then the best thing to do is find or make an appropriate thread not this one
