Respond to it as you see fit.
I am having a closer look at this "Daniel C. Lewin" it interests me .
19 amateurs can not have pulled off 9/11. I don't anything about you but let me guess you are not Amish and that you could not get 18 of your buddies together next weekend and build a barn. I have some pretty great friends and one is a carpenter but I know we can not build a barn next weekend either and we could not pull off 9/11 in a year or two even if we had a couple of million to go toward training.

Isn't half the fun of being a truther to imagine the men in black are after you ? Adds a slight frisson to life and helps thoughts of being a freedom fighter.

Let me ask you a couple of questions.
Could you get on a bus tomorrow and hijack it by putting a box cutter to someones throat?? Of course you could. Back in 2001 planes had no more security than buses do today.
Can you fly a flight sim on a video game? Absolutely. Go to any flight school in the country and ask if a rank beginner can control a plane after a pilot had leveled out from take off. Don't forget these guys bought flight lessons on a simulator for these exact planes. If you still don't believe me ask any 12 yr old kid with a playstation.
Also these guys were religious zealots with no jobs and plenty of cash. They had nothing else to do but get a psyched up over their mission.
The simplicity of their plan is what allowed it to work.
It's that same simplicity that prevents many people from believing it did work.

Face it they know who you are.

They know where you work.
They know how much you earn.
They know what you drive.
They know you are not a threat.
And you think you are smarter than them by closing a few ports on a PC?
If they wanted to monitor you secretly they would go to your ISP and pick up every single packet sent to and from your IP.
No bread crumbs for you to follow. Done!
Go tell your wife you had a dumb moment and need a hug. Both problems solved.

On the morning of September 11th, the terrorists' luck commenced with airline and airport security. When the 19 hijackers went to purchase their tickets (with cash and/or credit cards) and to receive their boarding passes, nine were singled out and questioned through a screening process. Luckily for those nine terrorists, they passed the screening process and were allowed to continue on with their mission.
A manual written by the airline industry years before the Sept. 11 attacks instructed airport screeners to confiscate from passengers boxcutters like those used by the hijackers, documents show.

In the April 28 2008 Los Angeles Times, Robert Schriebman wrote “The covert U.S. effort in China "makes the Iran-Contra affair look like a small-scale operation."
Sarasota Herald Tribune publisher David Lindsay Sr., who commanded the Flying Tiger base of operations in Kunming, China, home to heroin trafficking on behalf of Chennault's boss, Nationalist Chinese warlord Chaing Kai-Shek, brought... something back to Sarasota County, but we're not prepared yet to say just what.
But when 43 lbs of heroin (a Central Florida record, according to the Orlando Sentinel) were discovered in July 2000 aboard Wally Hilliard's Lear-jet, owner of the flight school that Atta began training at just three weeks earlier. it was business as usual in the drug trafficking industry, in the town of Venice, in the County of Sarasota, and on and along Florida's Gulf Coast.
Hilliard has friends in high places, including former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
One place to look for answers would be the amazing progression of Stephen Ruth, the second person at the Venice Airport—General Byrd being the first— whose name is entwined in the story of the JFK assassination and its aftermath.
Byrd, of course, is a familiar name in the story of the Kennedy Assassination. He owned the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas, from which Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly fired the shots which killed President John F. Kennedy.
Why did Jeb Bush and federal agents seize records from Huffman Aviation - Florida flight school of Mohammed Atta, and other 9/11 hijackers - in the middle of the night following the attacks of September 11th and load them onto a C-130? And why did Jeb Bush know, hours after the attack, where to look?

Well I just got home from work
Alfie 1,
Even though I do not agree with you I respect you for atleast asserting some plausable arguments in some of these 9-11 posts even though you do sometimes go off topic or pick the low hanging fruit.. and sometimes stealthy adding some personal attacks.
My main point for replying to you in this thread is I do not consider myself a "Truther" I do not get a kick out of it at all. To me these people are scary. I think we can both agree there have been "possible witness" who are no longer alive. To me it just seems to obvious and thats where me an you dissagree you dont seem to see any connections.
I'm just a husband and father who wants my kids to grow up in a safe country and live the American dream.
One thing I think you and I can agree on is: the world is much less safer than it was before 9-11 and we have lost a considerable amount of personal rights and freedom. For example I would of loved to traveled the Middle East at some point in my life but the only way I'm going there now is if someone drugs and kidnaps me
But yes I do want to fight for freedom not because it gives me thrills. I mean I'm just some guy on the internet looking at other peoples "work on the issue" and making comments most the time. Its just sometimes I feel obligated to say something, maybe its because I have kids I'm not sure.edit on 18-1-2012 by WhereAreTheGoodguys because: (no reason given)

The paper tracked down the former manager of Shuckum’s Raw Oyster Bar, Tony Amos, whose misfortune was to have witnessed Mohamed Atta, Marwan Al-Shehhi and a third still-unidentified man getting drunk in his bar several nights prior to the 9/11 attack.
In the article’s opening sentence, The Mami Herald confirmed what to some observers was never in doubt: Tony Amos tells the same story today that he first related in TIME, NEWSWEEK, and the AP wire service just two days after the 9/11 attack:
“On Sept. 7, 2001, Mohamed Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi pounded down drinks at Shuckum’s Oyster Bar on Young Circle in Hollywood,” the paper reported…
"The guy Mohamed was drunk, his voice was slurred, and he had a thick accent,"
All three major American networks also reported the same basic story: FBI Agents showed up at Shuckum’s just 12 hours after the attack. The agents showed employees—especially manager Tony Amos and bartender Patricia Idrissi—photos of two men.
The Friday night before the attacks, Atta and two other men -- one of them another suspected hijacker, Marwan Al-Shehhi -- spent 3 1/2 hours at a sports bar in Hollywood, Fla., called Shuckums. Atta played video games, a pursuit out of line with fundamentalist beliefs. But the manager on duty that night has said that he doesn't recall seeing Atta drink alcohol.

My point is you make them out to be Religous [sic] Zelots [sic].. Your version of Religous [sic] Zelot [sic] miss's [sic] one thing .. They were hammered drunk and cursing God. Muslims especialy [sic] Radical ones do not do this. I could link more post more [sic] and say more about just this one subject but do some searching your self [sic] and you will see how wrong you are.

One last thing in parting and I might be wrong on this too but I think some of the Debunkers might have some Jewish heritage wich is cool, Im not anti anything. But you guys might want to do yourself a favor and look up the Bush family history.. They financed the Nazi's and profited on the deaths of your race/religon/ancestors .
