You do know you are without question the minority population of the conspiracy moment, right? In all the time I've been posting here you're perhaps only the second person I've encountered who subscribes to that theory.

I find that very hard to believe.

I'm not the one saying this; it's coming from your fellow conspiracy proponents here. Based upon the number of posts I've seen people make here, the majority of posters here by far are those who are into that whole "secret controlled demolitions" theory, with maybe a third of them also believing the planes were all fake. You as a LIHOP supporter are running about neck and neck with the "nukes in the basement" people, but you're behind the "lasers from outer space" people and ahead of the "the towers were fake buildings" people.
As much as I acknowledge how reasonable your theory is...becuase after all, all Bush needed to do to pull off a LIHOP is "nothing",...your fellow conspiracy theorists are making sure you are being marginalized by sheer numbers. Richard Gage has a media empire that lets him outshout you with this "Building 7" propaganda just by himself. So who here is really your bigger enemy, debunkers like me or the hordes of conspiracy theorists making sure they cause a large enough distraction that noone ever pays attention to you?edit on 19-8-2013 by GoodOlDave because: (no reason given)
Why the arrogance, name calling, snarky comments and condescending rudeness?

Interesting that non of the resident debunkers have touched this yet
Anyone who adheres to the theory that President Bush could just 'let it happen' is totally in the dark about the US clandestine operations and the policy of plausible denial. Other than the PDB presidential daily brief given by the CIA the President is totally out of the loop and knows very little about how our counter terrorism programs functions.
“Ultimately history will judge the decisions that I made and I won’t be around because it will take a while for the objective historians to show up. And so I’m pretty comfort with it. I did what I did. I know the spirit in which I did it.”
Regarding 9/11 thousands of put options were put on those airlines and I believe Boeing in general. This was an astounding unprecedented number of "Put options" with points to someone or some groups knowing a catastrophe was about to happen and these insiders in their greed could not stop themselves from making a nice profit from the attacks.
.A single U.S.-based institutional investor with no conceivable ties to al Qaeda purchased 95 percent of the UAL puts on September 6 as part of a trading strategy that also included Buying 115,000 shares of American on September 10. Similarly,much of the seemingly suspicious trading in American on September 10 was traced to a specific U.S.-based options trading newsletter, faxed to its subscribers on Sunday, September 9, which recommended these trades.
Bill Bergman joins us to discuss compelling financial irregularities and cases involving pre-9/11 money transfers, suspicious activity reporting, and informed securities trading, all of which remain uninvestigated and unanswered to date. This is the latest instalment in the Boiling Frogs interview series, co-hosted with Sibel Edmonds. Bergman provides us with his analyses of the extraordinary surge in currency shipments and significant increase in the number of suspicious activity reports filed by financial institutions in the summer of 2001, the long history of currency shipments in U.S. covert operations, documented false statements and conclusions by the 9/11 Commission regarding the National Money Laundering Strategy Report from the Department of the Treasury in 2001, and the performance of the ‘market fear index’ in the weeks before 9/11. Bergman discusses obstacles and climate of fear faced by public servants, the city of Chicago as the major hub for money laundering, narcotics and corruption, and more!

Now that's funny Dave! I don't know if it's true, but it definitely funny.
I don't consider anyone on ats as my enemy. We are all entitled to our own opinion and or beliefs.
Ah, but that's not true, or at least, you're not understanding that it's not true. You aren't just sitting back with a cup of coffee and thinking deep thoughts about the meaning of life, here. You are trying to unravel A CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT TREASON AND MURDER.
Innocent people were killed on 9/11 (which the LIHOP people acknowledge are real victims rather than a bunch of secret agents hiding incognito somewhere or make believe personas)) and you're saying there's more to the story than it just being a terrorist attack.
and then a bunch of internet crackpots come out of the woodwork insisting that the the attack was a false flag masterminded by secret Satan worshipping cults.
Of course, that ignites pointless arguments on all sides and noone pays any more attention to you, the one person trying to bring "the truth" to people. You're telling me you don't consider that to be horriby irresponsible?

You are wrong about what I am trying to do. I personally have no ability to unravel any conspiracy even if I wanted to. Other people have done a pretty good job without me. What I am doing is discussing a topic which is very interesting to me and nothing more.
Worrying about pointless arguments is pointless in my opinion. I'm more concerned about people who are not paying attention than those who ignites the crazy talk.
I don't spend much time thinking about the crazy stuff, that gives me more time to think about reality. You should try that for a while, you might learn something new.
What is the difference between "tryign to unravel a case of premeditated murder and treason" and "discussing a topic that's very interesting to you"? If you already know all the answers and weren't interesting in helping other people find out the answers then you wouldn't need to be here to discuss it.
What's the difference between people instigating pointless arguments and people not paying attention?
You try to explain the attack was real and that the gov;t allowed it to happen, and then someone comes along and starts arguing that the plane that hit the Pentagon was faked. They're obviously listening to the drivel some conspiracy web site is pushing out, not you.
Case in point- I need to point out your own theories suffers the exact same flaws as the other conspiracy theories; it requires many, many, MANY people to be willing co-conspirators to the conspiracy, with none of them spilling the beans in an era where people are whistleblowing the NSA is spying on everyone and Bush can't out a CIA agent without hordes of journalists tracking it back to him.
How's that for a reality check?
The question that I am unable to find an answer to is why not a single person had any consequences for not allowing the agents to do what they felt like had to be done.

It seems that we also interpret "whistleblowers" differently. From my point of view there are many whistleblowers, but you keep saying they don't exist. I don't know why and I don't really care.
The confusion and the misinterpretation of interagency rules on what constituted a criminal case, and what constituted an intelligence case no doubt was a dreadful case of human error. This error was compounded by childish turf wars between agencies, Having said that it must be pointed out that just like you can't anticipate a double play in baseball, you can't anticipate that adding Nawaf Alhazmi and Kahlid al-Midhar to the no fly list would have guaranteed the foiling of the plot.
I already told you...you're not discussing whether Picard or Kirk was the better Star Trek captain, here. You're discussing TREASON AND PREMEDITATED MURDER, and who possibly could have committed it. It's as real world as real world gets becuase if it can be proven, whoever is found responsible for it will be given a one way ticket to the grave, so when self serving characters come out of the woodwork to pollute it with all these crackpot accusations it can't NOT be irresponsible and detrimental to the discussion.
Tell me, do you think Sharpton and Bloomberg are genuinely trying to explore what happened or do you think they're trying to rewrite what happened to their own liking in order to promote a political agenda
SO, when characters like Alex Jones come along and claim the towers were destroyed by secret cults of Satan Worshippers, do you think he's genuinely trying to explore what happened or do you think he's trying to rewrite what happened to his own liking in order to promote a political agenda he's had long before 9/11 ever happened?
keep saying there are no whistleblowers becuase there are no whistleblowers
NISt fire expert James Quintiere
SO, that brings us back to the same question- do you think the people who do that are genuinely trying to explore what happend or do you think they're trying to rewrite what happened to their own liking in order to promote a political agenda they've had long before 9/11 ever happened?
For every real fact we hear, there are probably three times as many fake facts being put out by people who are trying to use it for their own ends. How can you say that's not being irresponsible?
