That was amazing. Washington's blog is the most confused thinking I've ever seen from someone who wasn't committed to a mental institution. Talk about going around in circles. I can see why a conspiracy believer is so enchanted. I believe it to be true, I believe it to be true, I believe it to be true. I think I will click my heels three times and return to kansas now.

This shows the sounds of the explosions:

Oh my god. That video is the funniest thing I've ever seen. You seriously have to be delusional if you think that sounds like a controlled demolition. This moron on the voiceover is pointing out a low rumble, as though that is the sound of explosive charges being detonated. The low rumble is the fucking building falling down. Oh, and he claims the microphone was "set to pick up human voices". Yes, everyone knows mics have a special button on them that blocks out the sound of deafeningly loud explosions. ROFL. I knew these truthers were reaching, but this one takes the cake. Thanks for providing such great entertainment for us.

And of course the video is full of the usual truther lies. At the beginning, he says the lack of sufficiently loud sounds is the "sole rationale" for NIST rejecting the controlled demo hypothesis. That's just a blatant falsehood. The NIST Q&A gives many reasons why a controlled demo could not have taken place. Did this guy even read it? It seems unlikely.

Keep up the good work, truthers! You just make yourselves look more and more ridiculous.

Homeboy says

HE WOULDN'T ADMIT ON CAMERA THAT HE WAS PART OF A SECRET CONSPIRACY, DUMBASS!!!!!

He would if he is as dense as you are, Dumbass

Ah, right. The perpetrators of 9/11 were at the same time both the smartest people in the world, to pull off this unbelievably complex scheme, and the dumbest people in the world, to give away their plan to the world. That's quite a trick, to be unbelievably brilliant and stupid as hell at the same time.

Oooh, you sure got me with that zinger. I'm crying.

Great job from squatting in east coco. You finally discovered the 911truth website everyone has been talking about. Even better you have learned how copy and paste works. Kudo's for keeping up with the discussion and technology.

So 1700 alleged architects and engineers have signed a petition saying the wtc was destroyed by controlled demolition. That's at least .1% (probably more like .01%). The other 99.9% either don't believe it or don't care. Curiosity overwhelms me, by what system of logic do the truthers arrive at the conclusion that the .1% must be correct and everyone else is wrong? I could probably find .1% of any large group of people willing to sign a petition that says the moon is made of blue cheese.

I am still not convinced that there are time traveling aliens, but I am willing to be persuaded if you could provide better evidence.

But I posted a video about aliens, that should be all the evidence anyone would need. You mean the content of the video has to be relevant? When did that rule start on this post?

Don't worry Squatting, I understand just fine. And your students have my sympathy. Oh, and by the way, you need to reread your initial contradiction post. There is no contradiction.

You are blind Bigsby. Engineer after engineer and you still don't get it. Squatting has systematically dismantled all your arguments and you just are the one in need of sympathy. Are you a government plant, or a Republicon operative? Tell us something about yourself, Grisby.

Here we go again. Systematically dismantled all our arguments? You'll have to explain that one to me because I must have missed where he did that.
And you STILL haven't answered the questions you were asked.

Gary Anderson strategicdefaultbooks.com

Care to answer the questions now or do you just want to stick to relying on a few fellow kooks to make you feel better about your outlandish views?

Squatting in East CoCo says

Can you see the contradiction between:

"The heat from the uncontrolled fires caused steel floor beams and girders to thermally expand, leading to a chain of events that caused a key structural column to fail. The failure of this structural column then initiated a fire-induced progressive collapse of the entire building."
and
"Intentional demolition usually requires applying explosive charges to most, if not all, interior columns, not just one or a limited set of columns in a building."

Can you see the contradiction in NIST's 2 statements

No, not at all, Simple logic dictates this isn't a contradiction. It doesn't say that you can't get the buildings to come down by blasting a few key columns (depending on the construction). You CAN. just that no one WOULD, because the entire point of a controlled demolition is the DEMOLITION part. People demolishing buildings are paid very well to make absolutely sure buildings come down completely and cleanly on the first try. Demolishing a substantial sized building is a big enterprise. Large area's need to be clear of people, Traffic has to be stopped. Security has to be hired. Utilities must be shut off. All very expensive. So no one that intends to continue their career in demolition is going to say hey let's knock out a few columns and see if it falls or not. Plus if it doesn't go on the first try then it would be very dangerous to go back in and set more explosives. So setting enough explosives to be absolutely sure the building goes down completely is the normal way of doing business. Nothing to see here, move along.

Bigsby says

I bet you've been waiting years to use salient in a sentence. Very good, the level of debate here has taken a jump up.

Squatting in East CoCo says

I have been teaching for more than 20 years and I have a lot of patience for helping students understand concepts.

You are a teacher? God help us.

bgamall4 says

The underpinning of the supports to allow falling into the footprint must come by demolition. There is no other way.

You have no scientific backing for this claim. The fact that you typed something on a message board does not render it true.

Squatting in East CoCo says

bob2356 says

So setting enough explosives to be absolutely sure the building goes down completely is the normal way of doing business. Nothing to see here, move along.

WRONG! Now that you recognize the conspiracy you can't just move along.

I agree with you that they did set enough explosives to make sure the building came down.

Of course "they" did. The time traveling aliens are very clever. Sneaking tons of explosives in the buildings, ripping apart lots of walls to place explosives, running miles of wire to connect them, getting the explosives to stand up to hours of fire, leaving no trace of explosives except what would occur in the building anyway, getting the explosives to explode with almost no noise. All while thousands of people went in and out of the buildings every day. Very, very clever. Good thing marvin bush was there to turn off the camera's at critical times. I worked at a clients office in 3 wtc (aka Marriott World Trade Center) in 94 and I didn't see a single alien go in or out the whole time. Very clever.

If you keep calling me a kook I am going to complain to Patrick. You are a troll and you keep posting with no information and no proof of your own. I have posted proof after proof and you insist on ignoring it and accusing me of being a kook in the face of overwhelming evidence. Why don't you just shut up if you don't have anything factually to contribute.

You have got to be bloody joking. Shall we have a look back at this thread and see what you've been calling me and others?

And how the hell am I a troll? What information do you want me to post? I am not the one trying to prove a ridiculous conspiracy theory by posting laughable videos that show nothing but the opposite of what you think you're trying to demonstrate. You're posting evidence against what you are saying, but you are so caught up in your nonsense you can't even see that.

And if you want people who don't have anything factual to say to be quiet, then you should be the first to shut up.

So anyway Bgamall4, complain away to Patrick that I called you a kook. You are.

bgamall4 says

I have told you over and over that it was nanno thermite. And I have told you that Marvin Bush controlled the cameras. So, don't insult, just refute. Oh, you can't refute facts can you?

Apparently you must have completely ignored the responses people posted on that. How very convenient. And by the way, saying something is a fact doesn't actually make it so. It requires an overwhelming weight of evidence in its favour, and I'm afraid to burst your bubble, but that doesn't equate to some tin hat conspirator posting Youtube videos.

Gary Anderson strategicdefaultbooks.com

You can't even spell nano thermite much less have a clue what it does or how it works. No one can refute someone who just keep posting the same bs over an over. Just because you keep saying marvin bush controlled the camera's doesn't make it fact. Just because nutcase.org has it on their website doesn't make it a fact. Marvin Bush was a director, not in operations. Marvin Bush left the company a year before 9/11. Those are facts. Easy to look up, public record facts. So now you refute these facts (not possible) or accept the crown of troll supreme. Not that anyone doesn't already know that.

I still like the theory of time traveling aliens better anyway. It's at least as plausable as what you are dishing out.

BTW I actually did do consulting work at 3 WTC for 6 months in 94 for a couple of really sketchy Isreali's running a medical billing service on the 19th floor. It was a nice contract, I was living on the bayshore, took the early ferry from highlands to pier 11 every day, caught the first ferry back and was at the beach at horseshoe cove Sandy Hook by 4;40 every day windsurfing. No wind, no problem just ride my bike up to gunnision and ogle nudist teen girls. So sweet. I think those guys are currently in jail for medicare fraud.

If you believe in aliens is it such a leap to imagine maintenance and security workers planting explosives?

Read more carefully, I said I believed aliens are at least as plausible if not more so as humping in tons of explosives and installing them unseen, not that I believed in them. It's a much more eloquent theory.

Could you provide the evidence that Marvin Bush was actually in a position to order the camera's turned off even though he left the company a year before 9/11 and was never a company employee, just a director. I notice bagmal hasn't stepped up to the plate on this one.

What happened to all the cool video's from 9/11 truth? Bagmal you are slowing down.

His contract terminated 911. His replacement died on the first day of work, 911. He was not liked by the Bush family. Look it up.

Gary Anderson strategicdefaultbooks.com

SInce you have the information in hand then why do you not provide it? The SEC and company records say he left the year before (I don't think this is on line any more, I read it like 6-7 years ago when the whole 9/11 truth thing started). What records do you have ( I know the answer is nothing)? We went over this in great detail earlier in the post. You seem to totally lack short term memory or you believe if you simply repeat things enough they are true. Either way it doesn't constitute evidence or even rational thinking.

Maybe we are going about this the wrong way. Let's start at the beginning. What does the word evidence mean to you? Use short words if you need to.

Squatting in East CoCo says

Bigsby says

@Bigsby,

Let's forget about the contradictions of the NIST report for a moment and back up. Do you believe that government lies to us?

Yes, let's forget about your contradiction that wasn't. And everybody lies. And governments are run by people, so... It doesn't mean that your government blew up the WTC.

Squatting in East CoCo says

At what point were you convinced that building 7 was not intentionally demolished? Are you convinced beyond reasonable doubt that all of the experts that have doubts about the official story are wrong?

I respect experts who have doubts. The official story has lots of shadings in it to put the best light on some serious failings. But having doubts is a long way from simply making things up.

At what point? Maybe 2006. I read the 911truth.org website when it came out in 2004(?) or so followed by aetruth.org about a year later. I started with an open mind but the 9/11 truth stuff just doesn't add up or even makes sense unless you do the bgamal thing of just saying it's true because you want it be true. So much of what is on the truther websites just don't stand up to checking real records. Marvin Bush is the perfect example. Of course if you are bgamal then you just repeat whatever you find on a blog somewhere because everyone (or at least every truther) knows there was a gigantic conspiracy to alter all government/corporate records and only the truther blogs have the actual truth. How and where they came up with the actual truth is never explained.

I was curious about the validity of ae's credentialing claims when they first showed up so I submitted a couple totally bogus names and credentials and never heard a word asking for proof. The names I put in are still on the list. So I don't believe the majority of engineers for 9/11 truth are actually engineers. Other (much less lazy than me) people have actually checked the names against state licensing and have come up with a lot of blanks. So 1500 alleged engineers actually know the truth and the other what 20 or 30 million are just unwilling dupes of the government. Can you really believe that? I can't. I'm sure there are 1500 people of any large group such as lawyers, teachers, doctors, priests whatever that are actually psychotic and should not even be on the streets.

The evidence we are debating:
Molten steel
Sounds of explosions
Physics defying explanation of WTC7 collapse from the official report
How explosives were set
Who did it

We aren't debating it, you are. What molten steel? What sounds of explosions (as in a CD)? What physics have been defied (quite the accomplishment that one)? What explosives were set (and yes, you need to produce real evidence for such an outlandish claim)? And as for your last one...

bgamall4 says

Here is the deal, you have not explained how WTC7 fell into it's own footprint. According to the laws of physics, it could not.

You'll have to explain that one. Should be amusing.

Which laws of physics does it defy?

Squatting in East CoCo says

Debate the facts Bigsby. Personal attacks are not helpful. Thanks

Debate what facts? You asked me who blew up the WTC. That was an idiotic question to ask me, don't you think?

bgamall4 says

Squatting in East CoCo says

Can you explain:
The molten steel and concrete.
The explosions witnessed and recorded.
The fact that only 3 steel buildings have ever imploded due to fire.
Why your mind is closed to any of the above evidence.

He cannot explain it. I have asked him if he is tied to the military, and so far no answer.

What do you mean I can't explain it? It's been discussed multiple times in this thread already. You just simply refuse to accept what people have been explaining to you. Just take your explosions comment. You two show a video of a few puffs of dust and go 'look at that' as if it's proof of a CD. I'm asking you how that is a CD. It's only a CD in the mind of someone who has already decided what they believe and ignores everything that counters that no matter how compelling or obvious.

Squatting in East CoCo says

We are debating whether the towers blew up. Your argument seems to be, "anyone that thinks the towers were intentionally destroyed is an idiot." I believe that there is evidence of an explosion and there should be an independent investigation.

You asked me who I thought blew up the WTC. I think it's pretty obvious from this thread that I don't think anyone blew up the WTC. That's why it was a ridiculous question.

And Squatter, I'd love you to explain how the collapse of the building ran contrary to Newton's 3rd law. Just because you read it on a conspiracy site doesn't make it so. Please, if you believe that, then explain it. And no, what you said isn't an explanation.

Squatting in East CoCo says

And thus violating newtons third law.

What part of my explanation does not make sense? Perhaps I can clarify.

Can you explain why you think Newtons third was not violated?

Are you a physics expert? No? Me neither. You are just cutting and pasting stuff you've read from conspiracy websites. Do you seriously think that if the collapse of the WTC buildings violated a fundamental law of physics that the furthest it would have got is conspiracy forums? Really? I don't know the ins and outs of the physics involved and neither do you, but the people who worked on the NIST report know a lot more than either you or I on this topic and guess who I'd rather rely on.

Squatting in East CoCo says

I am not convinced by your personal attacks. Please show me some "compelling or obvious" evidence.

What do you mean? You are the one peddling the conspiracy theory. It's for you to demonstrate compelling evidence, not me, and you've singularly failed to do so.

Anyway this is just getting incredibly pointless as it's just going round in circles now. Believe what you want to believe. Believe your Youtube videos. See in them what you want to see. Believe your fellow conspiracists. Rely on the reverse scientific method to reinforce your beliefs, but don't try to pretend to the rest of us that you have conclusive proof in the videos you post up. You don't.

bgamall4 says

His logic and reasoning is retarded, based on what he has contributed to this thread. A third grader could reason with more conviction.

Is that your go to argument? You post a series of videos. Claim they are conclusive proof. People criticize them for glaringly obvious reasons and then you call our logic retarded. OK, enough time wasted responding to what you are peddling. Believe what you like.

Squatting in East CoCo says

There is evidence of a conspiracy. If the argument the other side has is:
Bigsby says

Is acting like a moron amusing to you?

when we offer evidence we should not lower ourselves to their level.

Let's debate the facts and stop the personal attacks.

Oh God, that's not the evidence of the other side, that's a response to you asking me who I thought 'blew up the WTC' after 600+ bloody posts. You already knew my answer, so what exactly was your purpose in asking? It was idiotic.

Debating this topic with you two is like debating religion with a person of faith. It's pointless. It doesn't matter what we say, you'll just deny it or ignore it and post up another one of your videos. You believe what you believe. No amount of evidence will change your minds because you are wedded to your beliefs. You are convinced by even the most tenuous of evidence (as demonstrated by the constant stream of Youtube videos you post up that don't demonstrate anything you claim to anybody who isn't similarly wedded to your views). Look, I don't particularly care what happened on 9/11, but I do favour a reliance on hard evidence. If someone PROVED to me that God existed with overwhelming evidence, then I'd become a believer. Saying it's so isn't evidence. The same applies to your arguments. You can shout as loud as you want, call our reasoning retarded, but we're all watching the same videos, and the only people who see what you claim are you and your fellow conspirators. If your evidence is so convincing, then why is that?

bgamall4 says

You haven't said anything. That is the problem, Grasby.

Oh, right and beyond your Youtube videos and saying my logic is retarded what exactly have you said, dimall (did you see what I did there - very childish, isn't it?).
