The term "skeptic" has officially been pimped and hacked by pseudo intellectualized college grads who see "skepticism" like a club or a gang. Many of them claim logic but adhere to so many logical fallacies of debate, it's dizzying.
Especially appeals/arguments from authority. Boy do they love that one.
Stop hacking skepticism, it's embarrassing.

Now, it seems after reading this thread I now know who are the disinfo people and are mad that 911 truthers called them out. Never seen the OP until now.

i say-the fact that 9-11 theorys arent going away could mean where there is smoke there is fire...

Just the fact that the planes hit their targets (except one) without being intercepted should ring a bell.
How a city like New York can be left unprotected is beyond me.
Every plane needs a flight pattern before taking off. So it should have been expected from radar operators to follow the designated protocol when the planes get outside their flight plan.
Only by intercepting the chain of communications could this event happen.
If the control tower did alert the authorities, there's a good chance that only one person took the calls. A straw (wo)man ?
At that point, I could consider this an inside job. No absolute certitude there, like anything in life, since the majority of information we get comes from another person.

All the evidence presented may not prove who or what is responsible but what it does prove, is that the media and official reports are lying about what really did happen.
Now that is certainly something worth investigating and there can never be a time limit on reaching the truth.
If the truth ever does come out the impact will massive and only then will there be closure on the matter.

I find it incredible that anyone can seriously believe the OS.
The "passengers" (or not)
The "planes" as above
The" hijackers" ditto
The "phone calls" ditto again
The amazingly perfect collapse of the buildings (Makes you wonder why people pay so much to demolition
companies when all you have to do it start a few office fires).
The share dealing, must have had Nostradamus working for them
The undue and unnecessary (?) removal of material from the largest crime scene in history.
The Pentagon
And so on and so on.
How exactly this evil was committed no one except the people who did it know
and they are not going to EVER tell us.
I remember watching the tv that fateful day and saying to my father how the "terrorists" must be dancing in their caves not being able to believe that things went so well for them. What an idiot, feel sooooo stupid now.

The hijackers are alive nonsense has also been addressed and debunked. Apparently, the truthers didnt know that many of the hijacker's names are also very popular and common. Just go look in a telephone book and see how many John Smiths there are.
Saeed Al-Ghamdi (Flight 93 Pilot)
"Saeed Al-Ghamdi is one of three hijackers that US officials have said are linked to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network." - BBC
Mr. Al-Ghamdi is still alive and well and at his job for Tunis Air.
"I was completely shocked. For the past 10 months I have been based in Tunis with 22 other pilots learning to fly an Airbus 320. The FBI provided no evidence of my presumed involvement in the attacks." - Telegraph 23rd September 2001
"Asharq Al Awsat newspaper, a London-based Arabic daily, says it has interviewed Saeed Al-Ghamdi." - BBC 23rd September 2001
"Abdel Aziz Al-Omari and Saïd Hussein Gharamallah Al-Ghamdi, are well in life, the first in Saudi Arabia and the second in Tunisia for nine months." - Wal Fadjri 21st September 2001
"..... not dead and had nothing to do with the heinous terror attacks in New York and Washington." - Saudi embassy
Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September.
His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world.
Now he is protesting his innocence from Casablanca, Morocco.
He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks on New York and Washington, and had been in Morocco when they happened. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities, according to Saudi press reports.
He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring.

Experts Urging Broader Inquiry in Towers' Fall
By JAMES GLANZ and ERIC LIPTON
New York Times
December 25, 2001
Saying that the current investigation into how and why the twin towers fell on Sept. 11 is inadequate, some of the nation's leading structural engineers and fire-safety experts are calling for a new, independent and better-financed inquiry that could produce the kinds of conclusions vital for skyscrapers and future buildings nationwide.
Senator Charles E. Schumer and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, both of New York, have joined the call for a wider look into the collapses. In an interview on Friday, Mr. Schumer said he supported a new investigation "not so much to find blame" for the collapse of the buildings under extraordinary circumstances, "but rather so that we can prepare better for the future."
"It could affect building practices," he said. "It could affect evacuation practices. We live in a new world and everything has to be recalibrated."
Experts critical of the current effort, including some of those people who are actually conducting it, cite the lack of meaningful financial support and poor coordination with the agencies cleaning up the disaster site. They point out that the current team of 20 or so investigators has no subpoena power and little staff support and has even been unable to obtain basic information like detailed blueprints of the buildings that collapsed.
Family members of some victims have added their voices to the calls for a wider investigation.
In calling for a new investigation, some structural engineers have said that one serious mistake has already been made in the chaotic aftermath of the collapses: the decision to rapidly recycle the steel columns, beams and trusses that held up the buildings. That may have cost investigators some of their most direct physical evidence with which to try to piece together an answer.
Officials in the mayor's office declined to reply to written and oral requests for comment over a three- day period about who decided to recycle the steel and the concern that the decision might be handicapping the investigation.

Black boxes, recovered.
2 say they found 9/11 'black boxes'
Philadelphia Inquirer | October 28, 2004
By WILLIAM BUNCH
Two men who worked extensively in the wreckage of the World Trade Center claim they helped federal agents find three of the four "black boxes" from the jetliners that struck the towers on 9/11 - contradicting the official account.
Both the independent 9/11 Commission and federal authorities insist that none of the four devices - a cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) from the two planes - was ever found.
But New York City Firefighter Nicholas DeMasi has written in a book self-published by Ground Zero workers that he took federal agents on an all-terrain vehicle in October 2001 and located three of the four. His account is backed by a well-known Ground Zero volunteer.
Their story raises the question of a cover-up at Ground Zero - although's it's not clear why the government would want to keep the discovery under wraps.
A footnote to this summer's 9/11 Commission Report states: "The CVRs and FDRs from American 11 and United 175" - the two planes that hit the Trade Center - "were not found."
FBI spokesman Jim Margolin and Frank Gribbon of the FDNY said this week they are certain the devices weren't recovered.
The "black boxes" - actually orange - could have provided valuable information about how the 9/11 attacks were pulled off.
The cockpit voice recorder, which captures the last 30 minutes of a doomed flight on a tape loop, would have captured the hijackers' voices and any radio transmissions. The flight data recorder records key data such as airspeed, heading and altitude.
They are built to survive an impact of 3,400 Gs and a fire of 1,100 degrees Celsius for one hour, somewhat higher than estimates of the World Trade Center blaze.
"I can't recall another domestic case in which we did not recover the recorders," Ted Lopatkiewicz, spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board, told CBS News in 2002. However, officials said little of the jets was recovered.
..."At one point, I was asked to take federal agents around the site to search for the black boxes from the planes...," DeMasi wrote. "We loaded up about a million dollars worth of equipment and strapped it into the ATV...
"There were a total of four black boxes. We found three."

The proof is in common logic and proven science. Only thermite and a controlled demo can one bring the building down in 15 sec and only thermite can melt the steel to molten pools.

What proof do you have that it wasn't an inside job? How do you know it was only the work of Islamic terrorists?
