And then we must take into account all of the lies and deceptions on part of the truth movment as well. The same logic can apply. If the people behind Prison Planet and Loose change have lied about so many things, who's to know what they are being honest about?

How could they contract to a size SMALLER than their original room temp size? This is a dumb argument.

Alex Jones can say whatever TF he wants, he is just some schlub off of the street.
Your comparison is apoloigist and disguts me.

Coefficient of thermal expansion of steel: 7.3 in./in. degree F x10 exp. -6
Sorce: www.engineeringtoolbox.com...
62 feet = 744 inches 38 feet = 456inches
let's start with 200 C and go up to 100C
200C = 392F
300C = 572F
400C = 752F
500C = 932F
600C = 1112F
700C = 1292F
800C = 1472F
900C = 1652F
1000C = 1832F
7.3 x 744 inch. x 392F x 10 exp -6 = 2.129 inches.
let's just skip to 1000C shall we.
7.3 x 744 inch. x 1832F x 10 exp -6 = 9.95 inches.
So, even at 1000C the steel expanded almost 10 inches. You really think that is going to push on the columns enough to have them buckle? Keep in mind the elastomeric dampener. I'm not sure but I think it was 4 inches? That's 4 inches on both sides = 8 inches. So, 2 inches of elongation is going to buckled those huge steel columns? BTW, the steel trusses would have bowed before they would have put any kind of pressure on the columns. Try it yourself. Get paperclip and unbend it. Now try and push that against a rod of bigger diameter. Does the paperclip make the rod bend or does the paperclip bend itself before the rod?
Also, good point Slap Nuts.....the steel would go to it's original length when cooled....not shrink. Is that enough math for you Snoopy?
If I'm wrong in any of my assumptions or calculations...please let me know so I can change it.
How we got onto this subject I'm not sure when the title of the thread is government liars? back to topic.

It doesn't matter. you are using one party to base all your claims and beliefs on. They have lied just as well, yet you continue to trust them and rely on them. But you do just the opposite for the government. So it's a double standard you hold.
Look at what you are saying. One party you agree with can lie all they want and it's fine, the other can't. It's not apologist, it's pointing out how biased and hypocritical you are, so of course it's going to disgust you.
the main point being that it's a faulty argument you are making.

It simply does not work that way.
But again, you are better off reading the NIST report which can do a far better job of explaining than I ever can since those guys are experts in the matter and not you or I.
A recent Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll of 1,010 Americans found that 36 percent suspect the U.S. government promoted the attacks or intentionally sat on its hands. Sixteen percent believe explosives brought down the towers. Twelve percent believe a cruise missile hit the Pentagon.

I'm hoping they can not control it. What is the sense of "free speach" if it can be controlled?

What about the lie regarding the german intellegence regarding the warning of this attack on september 10-11.
The germans warned us, and the white house said "thank you, we already know that" and then a few days later called them back to ask "OH BTW, could you forget we said that... and could you forget that you warned us... in fact... could you just forget it all?"

Where has President Bush ever DIRECTLY linked Iraq with 911? HMMM?
Let me help you here...NEVER! Yes, GWB has said that Iraq is the central front for the war on terrorism...but NO WHERE has he or his administration linked Irag and 911.
In my humble opinion sir, I think your agenda is getting in the way here.

i am worried about all this. I like this tread but theres a thing i dont understand.
lets say if ( even if i believe in a conspiracy in this case) there was neo cons implication in 911. So many details was orchestrate in a way 2 towers fell. Now im asking if the lies we heard could have been there to divide the US, on purpose, a part of the details still. We all know we are beeing monitored and we knows that they know we dont believe in your official story mr Bush cause you busted yourself or did he realy gat busted?
Im starting to feel the so called revolutionary change pnac could be is dividing ppl. my head boil on those cases and im not a paranoiac person im maybe too lucid sometime but i just hope those lies was real lies. real errors in their process.
I have wondered this very thing for some time now, - divide and conquer - . One of the things that gives us strength as a nation is when we are united together toward a common purpose. 911 should have been the biggest purpose since pearl harbor - but it seems that the powers that be are doing all they can to ensure the exact opposite. Their supporters for the most part would follow them over the edge of a cliff riding on a burning train before admitting any wrondoing on the part of the administration. Knowing that they have so many people brainwashed, it woud be very easy to polarize the rest of the population with half truths and vague references. Unfortunately, I believe this is something that has been planned long before 911. 911 was just a golden oppertunity for them to push their true agenda.
