Good find. Thanks for the read.
Can I ask a question though. The thing I don't understand about this demolition conspiracy theory is.... why is it so important to make the buildings fall? I mean, 4 hijacked planes, people killed.... HELL one plane to the Pentagon is enough to start a war.
What is the significance of complicating the situation and trying to make the buildings fall? The government could care less about public support, if indeed, a terrorist organization just pummeled a plane into the Pentagon alone.
There is always someone "proving" the fact that the buildings could have fell, and then someone right next to him able to "prove" that it is impossible under the set circumstances.

The fall of the buildings was all about the money, as always.
They needed to be demolished, they were full of asbestos. It was cost prohibitive to remove it.
Larry Silverstein took out a huge insurance policy.
Vital records about corporate corruption were destroyed when the buildings fell.

The same cast of silly characters, same silly, toothless and also deluded 'organizations'. Like the MUCH discredited, time and again, so-called "PilotsFor9/11Truth"!

Ok i understand your point of view and it does help me a little. I still struggle with this though, as to do this to your own people seems like something that Lex Luthor would plan in a Superman film.

Yes, it seems rather unreasonable, despicable, and excessive yet it has historical precedence. There are many cases where terrorist events like this have been perpetrated against ones own country. Nobody refutes that Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Pinochet knowingly killed their own people in order to further their own personal agendas. A great question to ponder is, why is it that people can accept those events as fact yet cannot accept that an American leader or official could do the same?
It is a very good question that you pose.
Us and them scenario, th evil lives on distand shores, and is usually an abberation, a one off.I would never think of America being able to produce such politicians.When it's all said and done ,it's about conditioning. We are only told what we are told.
Again yoour question is quite a profound one now i have started to think about it.
Operation Northwoods, or Northwoods, was a series of false-flag operation proposals that originated within the United States government in 1962. The proposals called for Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or other operatives to commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities and elsewhere. These acts of terrorism were to be blamed on Cuba in order to create public support for a war against that nation, which had recently become communist under Fidel Castro. One part of Operation Northwoods was to "develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington."
Operation Northwoods proposals included hijackings and bombings followed by the introduction of phony evidence that would implicate the Cuban government. It stated:
"The desired resultant from the execution of this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievances from a rash and irresponsible government of Cuba and to develop an international image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere."
Operation Gladio (Italian: Organizzazione Gladio) is the codename for a clandestine NATO "stay-behind" operation in Italy after World War II. Its purpose was to continue anti-communist actions in the event of a Warsaw Pact invasion of Western Europe.
General Maletti told the Italian court that "the CIA, following the directives of its government, wanted to create an Italian nationalism capable of halting what it saw as a slide to the left and, for this purpose, it may have made use of rightwing terrorism," and continued on by declaring: "I believe this is what happened in other countries as well." Gianadelio Maletti also said to the court: "Don't forget that Nixon was in charge and Nixon was a strange man, a very intelligent politician but a man of rather unorthodox initiatives."[citation needed]
General Maletti himself in the first Piazza Fontana trial received a four year sentence for providing a false passport to one of the accused bombers, this sentence was overturned in 1985.[25] Maletti received, while in exile, a 15-years sentence in 2000 for his role in trying to cover up a 1973 bomb attack in Milan against the Interior minister, Mariano Rumor (DC - 4 killed and 45 injured), but was acquitted on appeals.[26] According to the court, General Maletti knew in advance of the plan of the attacker, Gianfranco Bertoli, allegedly an anarchist but in reality a right-wing activist and a "long-standing SID informant" according to The Guardian, but had deliberately failed to inform the interior minister of it.
Did the US go to war when the Twin Towers were bombed the first time? No. [/ex
Thars becuase they caught the perps (at least most of them) and put them on trial - they are now
rotting in jail. Ring leader got 240 years - not likely to get out....

WHAT "ridiculous scenarios"???
Those only exist in the fevered imaginations of the "oh, so clever" people who think they have "20/20 hindsight"....and are the founders of these stupid "conspiracy theories" in the first place!
People who DO HAVE knowledge and real-world experience can comprehend the entire chain of events. It is only the ignorant who sit in their basement caves, and "blog" from their easy chairs on the computer keyboards ("Armchair Warriors") who fail to fully visualize, and therefore completely misunderstand how the real world works.
Quite pathetic, actually...NOT you, but the way those you have skewed YOUR apparent perception of the reality....THEY are at fault, in this. What is required from you and other like you, is to dig deeper, to gain better comprehension. Won't be easy....will involve time and effort, outside your normal "comfort zones". Because, if you won't (or can't) realize that many, many people have skills and experience that you may lack, well....I don't know how else to break it to you.....you have to recognize, at some point, that YOU DO NOT KNOW HALF of it!!! (Or, even one-eighth...)
And by that, I don't mean any silly "conspiracy" theory....I mean, how those who FOIST the "conspiracy theory" upon the gullible and naive....how THEY work the game.....in other words, those who fall for "9/11 conspiracies".....or, so-called "truth"....have been HAD!!! Big time.....
