    I don't care about Silverstein, he's only a little annoying twit. Nothing will change the fact that it was an inside job, controlled demolition. I don't have all the facts and I might be wrong on some things, I don't mind admitting it. I know a controlled demolition when I see it.

    There's no question that superficially these collapses might look like controlled demolition. What I did was to go look at about 50 controlled demolition videos. They all had a very similar sound of timed explosives going off, every last one. This is completely lacking from the WTC and the seismic record. So unless it was magic explosives there were no explosives used.

    So then we have thermite.



    This is a CT video supposedly debunking a National Geographic documentary. They used 80kg of thermite on a smaller beam and it didn't do a damn thing to the beam. Even though they had built it into a metal trough lined with clay. The reaction you see with this thermite is exactly why it would never be used in controlled demolition.

    His 'debunking' reasons are the beam is the wrong shape, they should have put a lid on the the trough and nano-thermite would work differently.

    Okay so let's see. Not only do they need to get a minimum of 80kg's of therrmite, per beam, up into a building with 20 thousand people working in it without anyone seeing it. They then have to spend days/weeks welding steel troughs and lining them with clay which they also have to carry up there. Then they'd need to weld on covers to these troughs. They need to break open walls to get at the steel which one one notices. Then the planes are able to hit exactly where the thermite is planted. But this incredibly flammable substance doesn't go off from the explosions etc etc.

    And amusingly one of his 'debunking' reasons is the steel wouldn't need to melt only to get up to 550 degrees C for the column to fail. At that rate the floor plates would fail at a lower temperature from the fire.

    But of course we have that magic nano-thermite stuff that no one has ever shown to exist. But are sure the military have in a warehouse somewhere.

    Take a look at all these lies...

    Would they lie to get into a war because there was no financial benefit ?

    What other motive is there ?

    Do they just want to see a fight ?

    Watch this clip and you have the answers.

    hey lets stay on topic.you made a wild claim about knowing a controlled demolition when you see it but your steering this off topic

    start a thread and im sure youll get the answers you want.

    fyi my views on it are more similar to yours than whats mainstream so im not trying to deflect the question

    To be honest - the 'mainstream' view on the motivations for the invasion are pretty far removed from those claimed by the Bush administration.

    And once again - it's pretty far removed from what anyone might plausibly extrapolated from the 9/11 attack.

    This in bang on topic. When I joined the conversation the last question asked was "who would benefit", an I answered.

    Now I am backing up my claim.

    Now Im asking you to watch this (as i watched your clip)

    Why would they lie to get into a war. What are the motives other than financial benefit ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,672 ✭✭✭seannash


    Yes, it's totally preposterous to believe men would plan a war to benefit themselves financially. :rolleyes:
    im pretty sure most wars are started for profit of some description.
    taking over someone elses land will inevitably become finacially beneficial

    your points are a lil pedantic

    No you're not. You're talking about who might benefit from an occupation of Iraq - a subject which had nothing to do with 9/11, or Saudi terrorists, based out of Afghanistan.

    Is that so ? as far as i know the mainstream view on reasons for war were..

    1. WMD's
    2. Combat Terrorism
    3. Promote Democracy

    Is that not what the administration also claim ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 240 ✭✭pablo_escobar


    seannash,

    It takes years of planning to invade a country yet the US managed to invade Afghanistan in less than 2 months.

    Janes Security published an article in April 2001

    "India joins anti-Taliban coalition"

    The US had been planning an invasion for along time...

    yeah thats true

    sovereign like i said my views on it arent to far removed from yours so your sort of preaching to the choir here.

    can we discuss the demolition theory.

    When did the Bush administration become the mainstream? The mainstream political and social view was well removed from that of Bush - on all three fronts.

    Where's the link between an 'inside job' on 9/11, implicating Saudi terrorists from Afghanistan and occupying Iraq? Wouldn't you opt for, say some Iraqis as the patsy if that was your goal?

    Obviously they didn't need to. They just had to create a fear of terrorism.

    To occupy a country with no link to terrorism? Nothing obvious about that.

    And here's the thing - planes crashing into your cities killing thousands will do that - create a fear of terrorism. It's called a well-founded fear.

    dan rather the news reporter

    just a little note from the video you have just watched that i posted:rolleyes:

    at 3 seconds in at the left hand side of the building you can see the penthouse collapse.then at 11 seconds the external structure fell.

    if you had watched the video i posted you seriously would know that you really need to do better than a new reporter using a descriptive term to describe what he is seeing

    btw im pretty sure you didnt look at my video but how and ever

    No plane
    Fire collapsed all the main support columns simultaneously ?
    Pancake
    Damage from debris but it stood for 7 hours

    cool ill overlook the blatant lie you just told me above and link it

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3214024953129565561#


    on a serious note itll answer some of the questions you just asked.

    its a pretty good video and it was part of the reason i changed my view of events.
    im not looking for you to come back and say that you have been converted but its a good look at how wrong and misinformed some of the CT's have been

    If the section which was crashed into collapsed how else would the top half of the structure collapse!!! To be honest your hanging onto loose end's. All the evidence points to the fact that it collapsed due to damage made from when the plane's

    1 crashed into the building
    2 The fire caused the roof supports to bow thus weakening the structure!

    If the floors damaged in the initial impact collapsed should the floors undamaged below be able to take the weight of the initial top half collapsing on it?
    Or should the top half above the damaged floors simply just fall off????

    300+ architects and engineers with hundreds of thousands of hours of experience all concur that explosives were used.

    Find me 300+ architects and engineers with hundreds of thousands of hours of experience all concur that explosives were not used, and you have a case.

    It has everything to do with it.

    You're arguing the US weren't involved in any pre-planned invasion before 9/11, I'm telling you they were and there's plenty out there to corroborate.

    That Jane's Security article is merely 1 piece of evidence.
