NO! The PASSENGER MANIFESTS showed every last ONE of the terrorists, with the SOLE exception of Hani Hanjour. Quit getting stuck on the lists of the VICTIMS that were released to the media. Better yet, look up the evidence used in the Moussauri trial. They had copies of the actually manifests.
And of course you know nothing about the background of that drill, who planned the date, and for what reason, so it is, like all 911 conspiracy theories, based on ignorance and a big desire for there to be an inside job.
Its fine by me that you believe this nonsense. Just don't expect others to believe it also when you don't have anything else than your opinion to back it up.

Common sense and facts of coincidences that would raise red flags in ANY real criminal investigation and the desire for there to be justice ~ That's how I would put it.
And please explain to me why do you think anybody (but especially me) would desire for there to be an inside job? Do you know me well enough to know what I desire?
I don't expect others to believe anything I post here. These are always my opinions only and I try to explain how I came to these opinions. A few people here changed my opinion about some things by posting information that makes sense. But I haven't seen you post anything at all by the way.
And what should I show you to back up my opinion? You do know that I have nothing to do with any investigation into 9/11 whatsoever?

Are we powerless... or just pretending?

The reason you desire it is because of the feeling of "having figured it out" and "being awoken" gives you. You are no longer one of those sheeple that believes everything he is told. I think that feeling is addictive. If a conspiracy you believe in turns out to be all lies, then the foundation of your believe will be damaged. Therefore, anything against the conspiracy is ignored, anything in favor of the conspiracy is embraced.
At least, that is what I think drives most conspiracy believers.

If you don't expect me to believe what you post, then you must also agree that it isn't very believable. Because, when I post something believable, I expect others to believe it.
What you should show is evidence. That is what matters in determining what is true or not.
Suggestions like operation northwood or the tripod drill are nothing but speculation. And without an analysis that goes any deeper that "but I think it is a coincidence" its worth absolutely noting.

why is there none to represent the HYPOTHESIZED claims that are the official story?
Even the official claim..."NO explosives and accelerants were used to assist" that was given years after stemming from a SCIENTIFIC investigation that did NOT investigate for them.....I, nor anyone else has to prove they were there...that claims MAKES you provide the SCIENTIFIC study where the decision originated....
....or maybe just a claim to shut people up???????
What is more important is motive. The motive you come with is so extremely weak. As if you really expect me to believe that a group of conspirators were plotting a fake terrorist attack, and oh wait, they also needed to have a drill around that date so that there is a command center so that Giuliani does not look too incompetent. Right... And the thing that is even way more important in a criminal investigation is evidence. Of which there isn't any.
If not then why are you inventing or clinging on to all the completely unrealistic crazy ideas?

The only things that are fake about 9/11 is the things you call evidence like the passport, red bandanna, the suitcase that didn't make it onto the plain. And the incompetence that you claim allowed the attack to succeed.
I explained to you why I find this coincidence to be strange. Now how about you explain why you find it so unbelivable that the same people who tried hard to prevent an investigation, lied about prior warnings and even destroyed classified documents just so they don't look so incompetent (that is why they did all that in your opinion right?) wouldn't prepare themselves a command center knowing that the OEM bunker would be destroyed?
You can't be serious. Lol I didn't invent the coverup, I didn't invent the unrealistic and crazy red bandana, or the passport at ground zero and the rest of the unrealistic explanations you expect me to believe.
If the suitcase story wasn't told by the Government you would be laughing at it with me right now. Just think about it for a second.
Being a New Yorker and witnessed the aftermath first hand there is nothing more I wnat to believe than that innocent people disn't die as collateral damage for a sick agenda of my own government. The very fact that you even suggest that people somehow enjoy believing that 9/11 was an inside job is disgusting and even offends me a little bit. And it is also not very believable that so many people enjoy being disrespected by your kind. Your theory that everything is a coincidencd and that it is impossible that our government had something to do with it is your personal misconception and you don't even attempt to back it up with any thing. You probably still believe that We went to Iraq to get the WMD,s and the Kuwaiti incubator babies story. Don't take it too hard but the Santa Claus isnt real by the way.
Right you expect me to believe that it is impossible that anything other than the OS is true. I don't know if you noticed but not many people believe it.
Operation Northwoods demonstrates the type of characters that run our millitary. They actually came up with idea of tricking Cuba into attacking American people. The President didn't go along with it and we all know what happened to him. Just like Bush had an idea of painting a spy plane with UN colors and provoking Iraq to attack it.
But that doesn't tell you anything about his character right? You don't see it as evidence of how twisted his imagination is right?

You can't blame the people when the government chooses who they get to vote for.
Whoever you vote for government wins. The people are not incompetent, just misinformed and manipulated.
Please cite where I am calling that evidence. Please cite where I claim that incompetence allowed the attack to succeed.
Maybe because they would had to let a whole bunch of other people in on their conspiracy, making it an unnecessary risk?
Maybe because it sounds highly unlikely that the people who wanted to cause as much maham as possible cared about the aftermath?
Maybe because without that exercise the OEM would have found another spot to base their command center?
I don't expect you to believe that. Even I can imagine that evidence to be planted in order to make the FBI look good. Then again, it could also just be real. Since there is no evidence it was fake, I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. But I do not at all base my believe on it. For me that evidence is rather irrelevant.
It may offend you, but that may be because you are emotionally involved with it. But it counts for any conspiracy theory. Faked moon landings, HAARP, alien cover ups etc.
I do believe that the USA lied about Irak. To me it makes rather obvious how bad they actually are at lying. According to you they capable of faking a terrorist attack in the middle of new york, but not capable of faking WMD in a repressed third world country. Why did they mess up so badly with that rather easy conspiracy, but did the other mega complex one so flawlessly? Except to a bunch of people on internet forums who figured it out...
Still making things up as you go? I am open for all kind of theories that are in conflict with the "official story". Its just that until now they are all rubbish fantasy nonsense. Not my fault.
So all operation northwood proves is that people are capable of plotting crazy plans. What a revelation.

Well that's the thing... I'm not sure what you claim except that everybody is wrong and you are right.
Why couldn't they just tell a whole bunch of people that they were going to have a drill on 9/12?
You don't see the complete absence of logic in your theory they that had to tell everybody the truth?
Who said they wanted to cause as much mayhem as ...
... But you don't see it that way do you?
I''m wondering who do you think would have evidence that it was fake? And why would you give them the benefit of the doubt? Is it their track record of being honest? Or you don't think reputation is important when making a decision whether or not to give somebody the benefit of a doubt?
It offends me because...
...I thought it was I can't go back in time and avoid the person who told me about it.
The way they lied about Iraq is the exact same way they lied about 9/11. People know that they lied but nothing happens to them anyway. If they would be good at lying we would not be having this conversation right now. Just like they got caught with the WMD's but the war still went on and nobody had any consequences of lying to deal with, they got caught lying about 9/11 and as you know nobody had any consequences neither. So what's the difference?
The only rebuttal I see you make is that it's impossible that they could pull it off. Not very convincing. And when you are shown that you are wrong you just call it rubbish nonsense. And you don't even realize that you are a hypocrite.
You act like you have evidence that you are right and that other theories are wrong but you don't show your evidence, while demanding to see evidence.
But you said that it is impossible that the government plotted a crazy plan for 9/11. I'm confused...
So you were unsure about something and then made up all kind of assumptions? I think I see a pattern here Why don't you simply ask what I think?
Because "they" would be the people working at OEM. So OEM is in on it? Or was there someone in the government ordering OEM to have a drill on that date? Sounds highly unlikely, so: evidence?
Can you give an honest answer to this question: is this how you would plan an inside job yourself? Or would you call it a crazy plan because it would be way to complex and risky? You are just desperately trying to fit all events in your conspiracy theory.
Two things, a) this particular evidence does not prove that they were the hijackers, just that they were on the planes and b) there already is overwhelming other evidence that they were on those planes.
I give them the benefit of the doubt because there is strong corroborating evidence. The evidence itself was pretty much useless. If it wasn't there, it wouldn't change anything. Yet you believe it was faked by the FBI. So, FBI is in on it too.
I lost count of how many people and organizations are in on it in your conspiracy theory.
You should read more carefully. Its the feeling that "you have figured it out", "have awoken", "are no longer a sheeple" that you enjoy. And for that you have to believe in an inside job. Doesn't mean you like an inside job.
The same? You think lying and doing nothing and lying and doing 911 inside job is the same?
They actually did a mega complex terrorist attack in new york according to you but couldn't just simply plant some WMD?
And if they are getting away with going to war that easily, lie about WMD and not even put effort in making that lie even a bit plausible, what was the whole point of the 911 inside job? Can't be going to war, as that only requires a lie and not actually doing anything, as demonstrated with the Iraq war.
You calling my rebuttals "not very convincing" isn't really convincing in itself. You basically just ignore them. Wonder where exactly I was shown to be wrong.
Not acting like it. If you want evidence for my claims, I will present it. Just ask for it, but only for claim I actually made, not claims you made up.
No, I did not say that. I said that the conspiracies that are posted on this forum are impossible. There is also a difference between plotting and executing. As example, deliberate negligence is very possible. But requires, you already guessed it, evidence.
