I never thought about it from the perspective of "If they could wire up 2 megascrapers and another high rise, why couldn't they plant WMDs in Iraq to justify the invasion and eliminate most of the domestic criticism". That's a great one.


Really - you never thought of that?

I was making this argument for years and have never gotten a 9/11 troofer or Islamist/Commie apologist to even try and address this obvious point. They rather discuss Rosie O'Donnell's renowned expertise in metallurgy and other nonsensical bullshit about Israelis.

It takes a special level of retardation to simultaneously think forces in the US government are so amazing they could implement (let alone cover up 9/11) but had no plan to plant WMD's in Iraq despite US forces having near total control of that country for 10+ years.

Then later they thought, "Hey, we can use 9/11 to justify attacking Iraq."

A couple of years before the attacks on 9/11 and the subsequent illegal invasion of Iraq (and Afghanistan), Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz wrote a position paper for the State of Israel on the subject of Saddam Hussein and Iraq. In it, they strongly emphasized the need, for the security of Israel, to remove Saddam from power and thereby install a pro-Israeli government.
Perle and Wolfowitz, both NeoCons with strong ties to Israel, were extremely influential in the Bush Administration, prior to and during the days of the USA's illegal invasions. The fact that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 indicates that the Israeli position paper written by Perle and Wolfowitz was, at the very least, influential in the decision to invade Iraq.

9/11 was the excuse that was needed to implement the plan to remake the Middle East. Soon after 9/11, at the Pentagon, Gen. Wesley Clark was shown a classified memo by a 4 Star General, that was written by then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. The memo listed seven countries that were to be toppled by the U.S. military in the coming five years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. In that order.

While the timeline is certainly off from the original plan, the script of this memo has pretty much been followed.

Amazes me how some think our government has superhuman ability to run conspiracies and pull off a 9/11,

What do you mean by government? All that was needed was 10 or less operatives to do the heavy lifting and the media would do the rest. They didn't need pelosi or schummer or any govt. intervention for the job. Also, why do you say "run conspiracies"? I think you mean run an operation.


Dude - you think it would only take 10 people to SECRETLY rig 3 of the largest buildings in the world for implosion? It takes over 6 months with an army of engineers to rig a medium to small size tower. Imagine how much longer it would take to SECRETLY rig the biggest buildings in the world? It would have to started before Bush was even elected.

Do you think there would be absolutely no evidence of detonation cord and evidence of blast points after the implosions? No witnesses seeing unusual construction activity for months and years? There were thousands and thousands of people (across multiple government agencies) involved in the cleanup and investigation of the tower collapses.

There is no way a secret cabal of a handful of people could keep this conspiracy under wraps with so many people poking around. 9/11 troofer retardation was in full swing just a few years after the Islamist attacks and lots of people would be grabbing onto ANY physical evidence of internal explosives. Instead the troofers have to rely on the renowned metallurgy expertise of the Rosie O'Donnell's of the world!

Our government is filled with far too many stupid and incompetent people, yet 9/11 troofers still have a child like belief in our government's superhuman abilities. It's embarrassing!

Of course.

But unless you are only 9 years old and don't remember history, Iraq was the biggest unfinished business for the US military after the fall of the USSR.

Iraq was the only place in the world where we still had US troops and pilots getting routinely fired upon by Saddam's forces as we were enforcing the UN Sanctions and No Fly Zones to protect Kurds and Shia from genocide.

After 9/11, Bin Laden specifically cited US "infidels" stationed in Saudi Arabia (as part of the UN Sanctions program against Iraq) as one of the main reasons for attacking the US on 9/11.

Saddam was not directly behind 9/11, but it is all related in what makes up the Muslim/Arab shithole world.

Neocons falsely thought if they kick over the chess board after 9/11 by removing Saddam, we could remove troops from Saudi land and it would make some room for some less-crazy Muslims to take power in Iraq and set an example for the rest of the Middle East.

Neocons and the US military grossly underestimated how fucked up and brutal the Muslim world is. Our military could topple the Iraqi and Taliban governments inside of a few weeks, but we couldn't keep the Muslims from killing each other all these years after.

I dunno - maybe because two of the largest buildings in the world came crashing down directly adjacent to Building 7 resulting in a massive debris pile that weakened the structure and caused a massive fire that burned uncontrolled for hours weakening the beams? The water supply to the building was damaged by the other tower collapse so the fires burned for hours on several floors.

There are plenty of independent fact checks from independent engineering and news organizations on WTC7. They even narrow it down to a specific girders and floors that failed.

But I guess all the independent investigators, news agencies and MIT were ALL in the conspiracy too? A conspiracy so large and vast, yet not a single person has come clean yet.....

There was renovation/construction going on inside WTC prior to 9-11, carried out by a company that had one of the Bush brothers on the board. As for how much effort it takes to take down a building, the usual large amount of human effort in peacetime rigging up a building for implosion is due to safety reasons: double-check, triple-check, 100x safety verification carried out every step of the way in order to avoid a single human casualty. When the operators don't have to worry about avoiding maiming/killing people, bringing down a building can be much much quicker. Did you not see the video a few days of how the Hamas administrative building was brought down? That was a medium sized building, took only seconds by a few missile strikes into the weight-bearing columns.

The cover-up for 9-11 was also easy: cordoning off the site, and shipping off the debris quickly before any forensic study was done. Planting WMD in occupied Iraq and covering up the planting would be a lot harder: you would have to present the evidence to the world public and subject all such evidence to tight scrutiny without the convenient excuse for destroying all evidence after 9-11.

As for communists, they too are controlled opposition financed by the globalist banking cabal (to kill bank account holders, whose account balances are liabilities to the banks). Same as murderous Jihadis (a tiny minority of world Muslims) and Zionists (a tiny minority of Jews who have no qualms about killing Jews in order to farm Jews). Jews farming Jews and Muslims farming Muslims for pay from the globalist banking cabal should be no surprise to anyone after Bernie Madoff, after Israeli government strictly enforcing toxxine shots on Israelis, and after thousands of years of false messiahs throughout Jewish history.

Either naive or lying through teeth. The Neocons have been promoting conflict between Sunnis and Shiites for decades. Notice Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Lebanon all have Sunni vs. Shiite split. I used to think it was a Neocon strategy to promote Shiite power (e.g. toppling Sunni-favoring Saddam regime so that the majority Shiites in Iraq would rise to power align with Iran next door) as a counter-balance to the various Sunni countries surrounding Israel. Now it's quite clear that the various Sunni countries surrounding Israel are actually run by Israeli-friendly puppets despite the Muslim public there being constantly fed a propaganda diet of hatred towards Jews and Israelis. Then such policies bring up the issue of what-for: why is Iran being paid and encouraged to have their nuclear weapons? Seems the population most at risk of Iranian nuclear weapons are Jews living in Israel! Who happen to have 30% savings rate and have accumulated in the last 75 years a vast claim against banks after giving their life-time/generational savings to the banks.

How many people in the Scamdemic/Toxxine-jab operation have come clean? So far we still only have conspiracy facts to go on, and being suppressed just like 9-11 (and to a lesser degree Pearl Harbor). Plenty independent investigators have been exposing the scams, but you are here to defend the narrative promoted by the actual conspirators. News agencies are obviously controlled ever since (if not before) Operation Mockingbird (yes, even Watergate was a conspiracy to get rid of Nixon, not intrepid reporters exposing scandal). What about MIT? There can be paid shills there too: money meeting the less successful compared to their own peers at the Institute. Aren't Caroline Ellison's parents professors there? Weren't SBF and Elizabeth Holmes at Stanford? What about the Harvard idiots who recently signed on pro-Hamas declarations without reading them?

The most telling sign showing the impossibility of the official narrative about the fall of the 3 WTC buildings is the fact that investors did not stop building skyscrapers after 9-11, but kept building and building many more all over the world! If the skyscrapers were that easy to be brought down (a plane hit or a few hours of fire), who would continue building such death traps? Who would continue insuring such buildings? The smart money obviously believe each of the 3 skyscrapers falling that day (in their official narrative description) was not representative of how physics would normally work, and they are correct: out of over 100 years of skyscraper history, none other than those 3 have fallen due to a plane hit or a few hours of fire!

You think all those offices were empty at night and Trades don't happen in Tokyo or London at night EST? When do you think the cleaning crews come in? They run the vacuum at 3PM on a monday, or 3AM? Nobody saw nothing, though.

they could certainly get a truck or two and dump convincing (if not actually functional) shells and bombs banned by the 1993 Chem War Treaty in some old bunker or disued Iraqi Army building basement in 2004 after occupation. "We found the WMDs!"

Those News Reports are entirely based on Hamas. Remember that Hamas IS the government of Gaza, so the Gaza Health Ministry is run by Hamas.

Hamas fires rockets from the grounds of schools and hospitals - even the Pali-Simp @UNRWA admits this - and they store munitions in them too, which could easily be set off.

AP reporters were infamously whinging about being "Knocked" out of an office they denied the knew was being shared with Hamas, though it was for years. Also, those reporters reporting from Gaza are mostly Palestinian.

Missiles hitting the Hamas administrative building had explosive war heads, whereas jet liners don't carry explosives onboard (and can't be fused properly even if it did have explosives onboard, as there hasn't been systematic testing of Boeing 737/767 as projectile weapons). The missiles hitting the Hamas administrative building delivered explosive warheads into spots near the foundation of the building, the delayed fuse explosion from the war heads broke the support columns and brought down the building. The jetliners had no explosives onboard, and hit high up on the building. The fire in WTC7 was near the roof of the building on one corner; the collapse made no sense whatsoever unless explosives much lower in the building broke the support. WTC7 had to be brought down likely due to its holding a lot of paper records that the cabal wanted to destroy. WTC1 and WTC2 had to be brought down entirely because total collapse would make it easy to cordon off the site and ship off the debris removing all forensic evidence, whereas if they had stood in place missing only the tops would prevent the removal of forensic evidence while attracting tons of people during subsequent slow demolition. Besides, before it was done, there was no guarantee the planes would even hit the building (it's not an easy task for a plane flying at 500+mph to hit what looked like two thin sticks from long distance), the owner wanted to collect double insurance pay-out (without having to have many insurance assessors combing through the buildings if they stood after the hit) while avoiding having to pay the extraordinary cost of asbestos removal in such a huge building. Many members of the cabal and operatives also likely had to be paid off from some of the money to keep their mouths shut. So explosives were rigged into the critical support structures to ensure buildings complete destruction; as we saw from the missile strike video, it doesn't take many explosive hits to critical support columns in the building to bring down a building, so rigging it up wouldn't take long especially when the operation is not concerned with avoiding all human casualty.

TL:DR > Yes the towers could have collapsed from the planes compromising the integrity of the outer walls and subsequent wind fueled fire.

I've long believed that all 3 buildings were taken down via explosives until recently I saw a 9/11 documentary series (netflix or prime, I don't remember) with a LOT of actual video footage - a camera was following around one of the firemen battalion chiefs that day as part of a documentary and they captured a LOT of footage - he was actually site commander for a little while because he was in the area (gas leak reported) when it happened. There's also a lot of footage from the ground which I had never seen before from other sources.

Anyway - things that I was not aware of before watching this :

1) The towers were not constructed the way most high rises are. There were no internal structural support members. The entire support structure was in the outer walls. The walls were the only load bearing structures in either of the two towers (and probably WTC7 as well). The reason for this was so that you could have an entire open floor and see from end to end, although I'm not sure how many floors actually were laid out that way. Once collapse started it was like a dropping deck of cards - each floor resulting in a loud BOOM (explosion). The firemen conversation about hearing 'loud explosions' refers to this collapse - it's been taken out of context by the conspiracy people.

2) In the initial plane crash, thousands of gallons of jet fuel went down an elevator shaft and resulted in an explosion and fire in the lobby level and these were some of the first deaths observed.

3) The scene pre and post tower collapse was apocalyptic. The fires were everywhere and were intense. More than just a corner of WTC7 was on fire - it looked like the whole damn building was one giant bonfire. I never really appreciated what a 'hell on earth' scenario it was until viewing this footage. I'm surprised the fires didn't spread to the rest of Manhattan. The video captures the firemen strategizing just outside the lobby (standing under a roof - maybe like a huge carport area?) and you can hear the bodies hitting the roof when people started jumping. The looks on the firemens' faces is telling - they know what's making those noises and choose not to discuss it (at least on camera). Picture yourself there - you can only see smoke or fire and the ground around you is littered with debris and bodies. Something out of Dante.

4) The firemen and rescue personnel didn't fully appreciate the danger they were in. I think if they had they would not have gone into the stairwells. People that made it out described (on camera) the wall/ ceiling cracks and popping that they observed on their way down. One woman comments that she believed the building was going to fall down at any moment. Initially it seems like the firemen were treating this like a typical high rise fire - going with protocol and displaying a bravado probably with the false belief that if they followed their training and were careful no bad things would happen to them. You can see the abrupt shift after the first tower collapsed. A lot of the professionals died that day. Suddenly there was panic among the professionals as they realized it truly was life or death. It's worth noting that there were a few stories of people who would simply not leave anyone behind (very few because compromised people don't move quickly). There was also at least one story of a person who put their own life ahead of anyone else - told by a survivor that was one of those 'one in a million' survival stories

5) We always hear about the 2,000+ that died that day but I've never seen a figure for how many people got evacuated in time. The documentary spends a lot of time interviewing people that made it out. Growing up we were always told that each tower could accommodate 50,000 people and I was always cynical that the buildings were at such a low % of capacity after 9am on a workday - but perhaps a lot more people were saved than I thought. It still doesn't jive though - where the towers were hit means that at least 15% of the occupants could not evacuate - so the death toll should have been 10,000+.

So, color me less cynical than I was before watching. I definitely believe this was a three letter operation (too many warnings were ignored and the passports? c'mon man) but I am less skeptical about the nature of the collapse. WTC7? The timing of the recent purchase and insurance certainly raises an eyebrow.

This fellow thinks Syria is the target of the US military buildup. Regime change and kicking the Russkies out.

Is America really ready to fight a major war?

68% of US troops are overweight, including 21% who are obese ... why are we trying to get involved in World War 3 again? (They may be fat and out of shape, but hey, at least they're woke)
