I worked a decade in construction and as a mechanical engineer for 5 years. I know with absolute certainty (not fore knowledge but because it is the only possible conclusion with odds lower than 10 to the 20th power) that the 9/11 buildings were professionally demolished with explosive charges. This being so the government was certainly an inside player in this. Given that is it any wonder the public would be suspicious of other disasters? Do you somehow believe that those willing to kill thousands to further an agenda would suddenly develop a conscience?
I do not have great certainty on whether the Gulf oil disaster was intentional or not but I am certain that if the government and large corporations decided to they simply would.
Those who trust the government or corporations are either fools or liars.

Amazing isn’t it? Those people who investigate and report on things that happen in this world calling others who do the same as crazies!
Just because they are run and paid by a corporate entity they believe that no-one else should be allowed to investigate any other avenues which they don’t address.
This is one of the first sites I log onto looking for breaking news items.
I like to think most people who post on here are free thinkers and don’t automatically believe everything that is claimed.

We keep getting targeted as "head cases" and abnormal idiots...how dare we think like this? Must be something wrong with us.
I think CNN is leading the Main Stream Media on making us all look seriously brain damaged.

I don't think that conspiracy people are stupid or brain damaged or anything like that at all.
Certainly anyone who believes everything the government says is setting himself for a rude awakening. However, let's admit it: many conspiracists simply don't think coherently when they come up with a theory - an assertion, actually -- that something is caused by thus-and-so, because their logical steps are often fallacious.

"Truthers" are far from investigators. Most of them just copy BS off of the conspiracy theory sites and blindly accept it as the truth, similar to what they accuse us "sheeple" of doing with the MSM. They ignore the fact that way too many people would have had to have been involved because they get distracted by there being "too many unanswered questions". Most, if not all of their questions have been answered, they just ignore the answers, or refuse to accept them. They ignore how impossible the recruiting process for an inside job would have been. They ignore the fact that the worldwide media would be the first to jump on this story. They ignore the proper context of eyewitness reports. They ignore just about every debunking. When you debunk a "truther", they just change the subject and often retaliate in what I call a "twoof bomb", where they copy and paste as much as they can from the conspiracy theory sites in hopes that we won't address them due to it being too time consuming. They also don't seem to know how to fact check, which is something that real investigators do.
Two thumbs up for Rick Sanchez.
