...and your right, anonymous posts on randi do not qualify as capable debunks.
Wheres some PHD'ed professionals with sound backgrounds in key areas debunking the thermite theory, rather than some kid sitting in his basement??
Ooops....there are none!
So wheres the repeated debunks roboe???
I'm waiting bud....

Just noticed that this topic has already been taken up by the JREFers. I see the debunking crew over there are rolling out the usual suggestion that the red chips come from some kind of paint. This is a very weak rebuttal since ordinary commercial paints - ones that may have been used in the Twin Towers - are not bi-layered or magnetic , as are the red chips in question.

Considering, whoever was responsible had already started fires in building 7,

It is comments like this that keep you guys from finding the "truth" you so desperately claim to be in search of .
You have absolutely NOTHING , at all , to substantiate this claim . And yet , you state it as though it were proven fact.
The truth movement sustains itself only by repeating unfounded claims , repeating outright lies , and repeating claims that have been proven time and again to be wrong .
The majority of the TM is like a dog chasing it's tail . It never gets there .
Who started the fires in building 7 , and why ? Please source something showing that WTC7 was already on fire before being impacted by debris . Otherwise , you are doing nothing other than muddying the waters .

The same people that planted and detonated the explosives that clearly (to anyone without a fantasy veil over their eyes) brought down Building 7 in mere seconds, in a controlled demolition...

How did the explosives get planted and detonated in Building 7? How did the fires get ignited? The NIST report doesn't tell us that, doesn't even mention it. That report is a load of crap. And if you buy it, I believe you to be a moron.

Dr. Harrit must have struck a nerve. A big nerve. All the debunkers are immediately on this thread, like white on rice. Personally, I'm waiting for Good Ol' Dave to chime in very very soon so he can use the phrase "silly Truthers" again. It's like a favorite ol' comedy one-liner punchline that everyone says in unison.
Dr. Harrit is a scientist, Professor at a well-respected university, researcher etc etc. It is obvious that he has caught the fire of curiosity relative to the fall of the 3 WTC buildings.
Hooper, Alfie, trickoftheshade, airspooner, et al: don't just criticize or try to derail the thread. Bring your own bona fide experts and their findings. I repeat, bring your own bona fide experts and their findings. You are debunked without this.
I'm surprised to see okbmd coming in 2 days late but I suppose that even debunkers need time off!

Yea , the CIA was hosting it's bi-annual Disinfo 101 seminar and I was obligated to attend . Glad to see that someone noticed I was late getting to this thread . That makes me feel special , thanks .

One thing that I am curious about ... Has any of this supposed "dust" ever been proven to have come from the WTC ?
I'm not looking for bullshat answers , I want to see chain of custody , etc . I want someone to show conclusive proof that the dust that Jones tested came from WTC . I don't want to take him at his word , I don't want a boat-load of witnesses who claim to know for a fact that it did , and I don't want some link to a truther site .
If you guys are gonna put that much faith into his findings , you should be eager and willing to provide what I'm asking for . Chain of events and chain of custody . Documented / certified by an unbiased neutral .
I'll be waiting . Until then , his findings prove nothing of thermite at WTC . Not that I believe he has made a case anyway .
It's strange that you would require a greater standard of proof from an alternative theory than you do for the OS. Where's the chain of events and chain of custody from the 9/11 Commission, the documented/certified by an unbiased neutral?
Nope, not there! Notta!
You're happy with NIST changing their story every time one of their half-baked theories gets thrown back in their face but won't accept bullshat answers to do with other theories.

I will say it one more time , for those who don't know my posting history . I HAVE NOT read the 9/11 Commission Report , nor have I read the NIST report . All of my observations and opinions come from actually STUDYING and RESEARCHING 9/11 .
If I say something that agrees with your "OS" , rest assured that I did my own research into it and my observation/opinion did not come from reading any part of the "OS" .
Does my independently reaching the same or similar observation make me a follower of the "OS" ? No , it does not .
You guys play that card without even knowing my thoughts on 9/11 , simply because I disagree with something one of you says . And , just because my opinions may be in agreement with some facet of the "OS" , does not indicate that I , myself , am party to some conspiracy/cover-up .
To be frank , this whole "dis-info , govt. shill , blind-follower-of-the-OS ..." tactic that you guys use every time someone has a different take on 9/11 , is very immature , in my opinion .
I don't require you , or the government , to do my thinking for me . Show me the material , and let me do my own thinking . If it doesn't agree with your views , go ahead and call me names , like a little kid will do .

1) Most of the "cavesquatters" were more than slightly educated , and came from families of above-average wealth . No doubt, you're referring to the Saudi Hijackers here (JJ)
2) The towers did not "explode" , they collapsed . Apparently your research omitted/discounted all of the video evidence taken on the day
3) WTC7 did not collapse " into it's own footprint " ., several surrounding buildings suffered from it's collapse , as well as debris from it crossing a 4-lane street . So you've missed the aerial photos showing the tower neatly collapsed into it's own footprint minus the concrete, desks, computers, etc that disintegrated into dust clouds.
4) The airliners did not impact the towers at "exactly the same tilt angle" . This is nothing but a lie . Liar, liar, pants on fire!
5) " The notion that you can conduct a controlled demolition of a skyscraper by starting a couple of fires on the upper floors is ridiculous. " This is true , so why do truthers persist in calling the destruction of the towers controlled demolitions ? Maybe truthers are "disinfo agents" but, hey, we wouldn't want to call them names!
6) NONE of the steel in any of the buildings "disintegrated". So in your independent research, you ticked off each piece of steel against the itemised list and all were accounted for. Or perhaps, you took somebody else's word for it.
7) You have shown yourself to be a typical uneducated truther (name-calling) , simply by repeating lies you have gleened from other truthers . (possibly slander?)
Do your own research , instead of just following the herd and feeling good that you are part of the herd . (from someone who obviously doesn't do his own research and just keeps repeating the same old oft-disproved 9/11-debunker arguments
