in answer to the OP, yes, i doubt the USG attacked us on 9-11. now, thats not to say i buy the 911 commission reports or the nist reports, honestly i
could believe that most of what they published is a case of "well hell, we gotta tell them SOMETHING" which is why NIST keeps changing its theories.
i dont think NIST monitors CT sites and says "oh hell, what do we say to that?" i think their theories evolve as the research and they just havnt
gotten it right yet, but lets face it, theres a LOT that NO ONE will be able to figure out just by watching the replays ad nauseum.
but as to why i dont believe the govt did it...thats pretty easy. MOST of the CT's are based off the way the towers collapsed and in absense of a
real explaination that actually makes sense, people assume "well, they cant explain it correctly so it MUST have been a controlled demolition"
well, the problem is that most people jump to that conclusion wihtout knowing any more about explosives than they see in hollywood movies. thats a
handicap to them. but, since i DO know a few things about explosives (sarcastic understatment intentional) i cant fit the collapses into a theory
that would allow for high explosives to be the culprit.
so, if it wasnt HE then it to me anyway likely wasnt the USG. sorry but i dont buy into the mini nuke theories, death rays or even thermite/mate.
for a detailed explaination of why i dont think it was HE go
here. whether you think
it was a CD or not, i put a lot of factual data into that debate and i think i made a good case. if there are any parts of it that youre unsure of or
just have additional questions on HE etc feel free to ask and ill answer as unbiasedly as i can or if i cant answer without bias ill show you where to
find unbiased answers to your questions on HE. (plz feel free to do this via u2u unless its relevant to this thread)
now, can i explain WHY the buildings did fall? nope, cant say i can nor will i try unless its clear im hypothesising. but, knowing what i do about
explosives, its hard for me to fit a CD into what i witnessed happening that day. (and before you bombard me with questions like "well what about
the squibs?" etc, PLEASE read that thread as i addressed most of those issues) but, its not my job to say WHY they DID fall, im only offering
explainations as to why i dont think they did based on my own experiences. not trying to "debunk" anything just offering what i can in the hope
that maybe we wont keep chaising our tales on EVERY theory that comes along.
but what i find most odd, on both sides is that people tend to CLING to parital questions and take them as "proof" or "evidence".
lets take the put options angle. were those the ONLY airlines that had put options taken out that day? how often do those airlines have large
numbers of put options placed? was this the only time or do people like to gamble and take out said options regularly?
prof. jones "proof" of thermate. what other materials present that day could have contaminated his sample with the substances he found? what was
the chain of custody like on his sample? i had read that he got it from (sumarizing/paraphrasing) "a guy who knew a guy that got it from a guy who
got it from an unguarded peiece of steel from the 'wtc'" and no one found that odd? then out of no where didnt he "miraculously" find a piece of
steel on his own to retest?
why do people believe reports from govt agencies when it backs their theory but only then? (ie epa air samples?) so one govt agency is goign to
release damning info on their own and no one who planned this thought to cover that base?
FEMA and military excersises. any ideas just how often in how many cities that govt agencies do drills in a year? i can tell ya'll right now that
in the two years i worked with a WMD response team we did drills involving large cities and state level organizations (often with federal support as
well) pretty regularly...so had their been a WMD attack in a city we were training in would that have been proof that we were in on it?
the muhajadeen (of which OBL was a part before he formed al queda)used to get money from the CIA so they were put up to it. well, riddle me this: ever
date someone who had more money than you did and they were always happy to spend it on you? did you guys marry or break up at some point? if you
broke up, did she continue to give you money? if not then why would it be a stretch to imagine that once the russians pulled out of afghanistan that
we cut them off and that may have pissed a few of them off enough to want to hurt us? (along with all of our other insane foreign policies in regards
to the middle east and isreal?)
the USG couldnt do this but a few guys planning in caves could? sure why not? element of suprise (well, not really if you believe that we DID have
warning before hand). AQ could have done this with less than 30 ppl less if you figure that the actual hijackers didnt have much hand in the actual
planning, yet for the USG to: lower the defenses, develop holograms, plant explosives, place mini nukes, give instructions to the various agencies
(fema etc) and so on and so forth, where would it be easier to plan this in secret? in a cave cut off from the world more or less or in a city where
secrets are only as safe as the highest bidder?
the list really really really could go on forever.
and i cant really answer these questions, the only ones i feel qualified to answer are on explosives and ill admit yet again, i could be flat wrong.
i dont think i am but as no one has pointed out errors big enough to negate my whole stance on it...ill continue right along with my opinions. but
the thing is, while i cant answer these questions im at least asking the follow up questions i dont see many others asking. some people may take a
single question and in absense of an answer assume its proof of something sinister but as a long time listener to paul harvey i WANT the rest of the
story. and that does go for the official story too.

personally ill WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with you on this one. while i may not feel our govt did this one, ill freely admit there ARE lingering questions
that have yet to be answered satisfactoraly. not to mention, there are enough people in the US that think something is hinky that as taxpayers i do
believe it is their RIGHT to have their questions answered to their satisfaction. conversly if it was a truely independant investigation, tehres a
chance that if it WAS a USG op then those questions could be laid to rest and the guilty could be hanging from a tree out in public for us all to go
throw rocks at.
i could go on, but much to the delight of those of you that actually read this diatrabe, i wont. the questions for the most part are rhetorical, just
food for thought. im sure the OST's will point and agree with some of this and the CT's will just assume im taking my pay from the govt still (im
not though, punks wont even pay out my disability after i gave them 12 years so im CERTAINLY no fan of the USG these days) but the important thing no
matter what you believe is to ask the tough questions and KEEP thinking, but, with an open mind.
Peace
