thats over 220 million people i wonder why and i wonder at people who just post in the 9-11 forum all the time
If the MSM (news) lied to you about 911 why would you believe their 70% story?
Good point. I wonder what do people that trust MSM think about the 70% story...
Since I haven't seen the 70% story I'm left with a few questions.
Who did they ask?
What was the EXACT question they asked?
If they asked "if they still had questions about the OS", that's an open ended question. If they asked "Did the government created the whole 911 incident", that's different.
How many of them have gone to their local media in their hour of greif and said "WHy should my son have died when Dick Cheney et all brew up the buildings?"?
NONE that's how many.
If the government couldn't shut up Snowen in modern times, how could they have stopped all the other potential leaks over the last 12 years?
A very recent poll on the Digital Spy forum indicated that 21.49% believe 9/11 was an inside job and 78.51% don't .

I may be just paranoid, but I believe that these polls are not meant to tell us what other people think, but it's to tell us what to think.

If the government is soooo powerful that they can control MSM and substitute their own 'secret' video feeds, why do they allow ATS to exist?

herd mentality....
Feeble response. Truthers are happy enough to quote polls if they think it supports their position; as we have just seen.

Certainly sounds paranoid to me. You think 700 members of an internet forum have been orchestrated to provide a result which is a message ?!

Everything you posted in this thread up to now. But that's not inportant. I know that there is nothing I can say to you that will change your opinion. You and I are actually almost the same (from what I can see in your posts) The only difference I can see is that you are unable to control yourself and politely disagree with my opinion.
From my point of view it's silly that you think you or anybody else are anonymous on the Internet.
Honestly, all the information on architects and engineers for 9/11 truth website seems lagit to me, because I'm obviously not an expert in this field. Give me advise which experts should I believe that the papers published by anonymous experts are correct and which ones aren't?
Are you able to reproduce the results of the computer model used by NIST to determine how stage 2 of the wtc7 collapse happened? How?
And that matters because...? Hhmm... Is it because you are an expert?
See? You had an opportunity to politely disagree, but you chose to accuse me of making things up, which implies that I'm either a liar, crazy or just plain stupid.
Everything? I wrote "If this is your only claim, then you do not qualify for all the things you have been called." And you disagree?
I suspect that other claim were made as well beforehand.
Still, some of the things in that list could still apply to that single claim. Such as “kook”, “nut job”, “pretend to know the truth”, “ignore evidence that support official story”. Although that depends on the basis you make that claim on.
The implications are rather huge. Questions like “how is it possible all experts were fooled while you were not”, or “how is it possible nobody talked in this huge cover-up” are question that require a very good answer if you do not wish to be called the things I highlighted.
I kind of fail to see what you are doing on a discussion forum with such an attitude.
Are you arguing that experts do not publish their work anonymously on the internet because of fear their true identity is being discovered, and they fear repercussions?
Do you agree that your argument is extremely far fetched?
You are constructing a long string of very unlikely arguments just to explain why all these silent experts do not publish and keep silent
Do you agree that the explanation "they don't exist" is much more likely
Publications that are of good quality will get wide support among other experts, and you won't find reviews that completely destroy it.
You do not seem to be interested in the actual science, you just choose to believe anyone that calls himself an expert that happen to support what you already believed
There are literally dozens of papers and publications in support of the "OS", all widely supported by other experts in the field. For starters the NIST reports
Can you name a single paper from architects and engineers for 9/11 truth that has wide support and has not been completely debunked?
I don't think you are either of those options. I think you are just mislead and are suffering from confirmation bias.
I would propose to attack my arguments instead of going into these less relevant issues.
But if all you have to say is that you respectfully disagree to all my arguments, thats ok, will return the favor and refrain from any substantive discussion.

WRONG.
Many normal people do NOT think that their government has the best intentions,
they have merely set THEIR priorities in life straight;
I.E. "how do i feed MY family? How do i make sure that MY family and loved ones are safe?
How do ensure that ME and MY family can live a happy life?"
When these questions and the hardships that are required
to achieve such goals slap you straight in the face,
the question "WTF happened twelve years ago?" becomes irrelevant.
Of course for those who DID lose family and loved ones in 9/11,
the question is MORE than relevant.
But for the rest..
It´s a hard, unfair world out there that will chew you up and
spit you out if you don´t stay FOCUSED on what actually is relevant to YOU.edit on 14-8-2013 by LionOfGOD because: (no reason given)
As for people claiming things are covered up, which people, and what is their evidence? I am of course talking about people who were part of this cover-up and spoke out. Huge cover-ups imply the involvement of many people. Or else you should define what a "huge cover-up" means and how it was done with very few. And show evidence of course.

Hhmm.... I thought I just said that not going public with your opinion doesn't mean that you automatically accept the official story and there might be multiple reasons for people to decide to stay silent.

So you can't explain why, but you stick to your initial position that there "might be multiple reasons for people to decide to stay silent". Dispite my arguments why there isn't any good reason, and how it is the moral obligation of these experts to speak, to which you respectfully disagree but won't explain why.
It seems to me that this kind of reasonong leads to you being called the things you wrote in the OP.
