    Yup. Possible. Doesn't mean I believe it's true. I don't believe it's true.
    It being "possible" doesn't mean it's likely or that I "entertain it" on any level.
    I just suggested that it's more believable and less idiotic than the version of the conspiracy theory you believe.


    Saying its entirely possible it was allowed to happen leaves open that it is entirely possible people had foreknowledge ...

    Lol, that's an internet group. It's not recognised at all.

    The American Institute of Architects, which is a recognised group (of which Gage is a member of) of 90,000+ architects, have repeatedly distanced themselves from his 911 truther views, they made him take their logo off his page. They haven't sanctioned any of his events, they want nothing to do with his brand of nonsense
    The AIA itself, however, is firm about its relationship with Gage. “We don’t have any relationship with his organization whatsoever,” Scott Frank, head of media relations for the AIA, told me.

    “I can’t tell you how grateful we were to have been accepted to be here in the boardroom at the national headquarters,” Gage said. “We hope this is the beginning of a very productive relationship.”

    Aside from Gage, though, there was not a single other architect in the room, much less an official from AIA, or even another member. The 80-strong crowd was made up largely of members of the local 9/11 Truth movement and other political activists."
    "All of Gage’s so-called evidence has been rebutted in peer-reviewed papers, by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, by the National Institute for Standards and Technology, by the American Society of Civil Engineers, by the 9/11 Commission Report, and, perhaps most memorably, by the 110-year-old engineering journal Popular Mechanics.

    What is more interesting than these bizarre and debunked conspiracy theories is the way that Gage places his AIA membership front and center in his presentations. He seems to be attempting to cloak his organization in the officialdom of the venerable 155-year-old professional institution, even as AIA wants nothing to do with his organization."

    Yes.
    But in that version of the conspiracy, they wouldn't tell the BBC to report the collapse early. As doing such a thing is silly and pointless and only makes sense in the fantasy world you guys live in.

    They also would not know when or even if WTC7 would collapse as it is not being demolished by explosives, so it is not the same "foreknowledge" you are talking about.

    In that version of the conspiracy, no one would have foreknowledge that WTC7 would come down never mind that it would come down at a certain time.

    Good. Let's start with the simple stuff.

    1. Why was WTC 7 "blown up"?
    2. Who ordered it?
    3. When and how were the explosives planted?
    4. Who planted the explosives and how many were involved?

    bla bla bla ....

    Because of your stance you entertain the premise people had foreknowledge ...which is a conspiracy by itself

    Its not up to you to determine which part of the conspiracy this foreknowledge would have applied to ...

    Ok.
    Do you believe that the plotters behind 9/11 planted a fake story that WTC had collapsed before it did for the purposes of convincing people when it did?

    Yes or no please.

    If yes, then you believe something very silly indeed and you are on the pile with cheerful and flat earthers.

    If the answer is anything other than "yes", including your evasive mantra of "I have no opinion" then you disagree with cheerful's position.

    There's no way to wiggle out of this.

    That is not what you asked.
    You asked how they had foreknowledge that it would collapse.

    If you now what to know why they reported it did, go back a few pages and it's explained.
    It's also explained by applying a slight bit of common sense.

    Anyhow.
    Were the other items that survived the planes faked? Or were they real?

    That is not the simple stuff nor is it needed to show it was controlled demolition

    I have no answer to any 4 of them but wtc7 came down in a symmetrical collapse and the collapsing rooftop fell at free fall acceleration for at least eight stories. Symmetry means that all 81 columns in the building would have to fail at the same time and free fall acceleration means that when they fell there was nothing in the way.

    NIST offered no explanation for either of these facts, even though these inconvenient truths only have one well-established explanation, they are the identifying characteristics of controlled demolition.

    Lol.
    I don't entertain the premise that people had foreknowledge of the collapse of WTC7.

    The version of the theory I purposed would not allow the people behind the theory to have foreknowledge about when and if WTC7 would collapse.
    This is because my version of the theory does not allow for the idea of a controlled demolition.

    I don't see what your argument is here other than a very silly desperate attempt to pretend to have a point.

    If that how you think then of course preknowledge doesn't make sense. The evidence though shows WTC7 collapsed to controlled demolition.

    Yup.
    Which is different from:
    how the BBC knew wtc had collapsed ..
    "Going to..." is different from "Had"

    And I don't believe that the BBC knew it was "gonna collapse". So still not seeing the point to your question.

    If you want to ask why did the BBC report the building had collapsed when it had yet to, again this was explained a page or two ago. Then explain ad nausuem to you by many rational people many times in the past. Then it's explained by using common sense rather than a desire to have a conspiracy theory.

    You then go straight into trying to prove by denial and attacking the NIST. It's incredible.

    I presume you are familiar with their official stance and analysis of the NIST correct, what do you think of it?

    Again, no I don't entertain that fact.
    It's a possibility. But it's a remote possibility that has no supporting evidence, so I don't believe it's true.

    However, what's funny and telling is that you don't believe that conspiracy theory. Your conspiracy theory is incompatible.
    Yet you are claiming victory because you (falsely) think I entertain a belief in a conspiracy theory you think is wrong.
    :confused:

    Also, I'm a bit confused now as you seem to be confusing "foreknowledge of WTC7's collaspe" (which was the topic at hand) and "foreknowledge" in general.
    So I fail to see why you brought this up, other than point scoring.

    Again, a select group of people having foreknowledge of an upcoming attack does not equate or have baring on the BBC having foreknowledge of WTC7's collapse.

    Also, again:
    Were the other items that survived the plane real or fake?
    Should I just assume that you are on the level of cheerful and believe they are all faked?

    But you do realize that NIST was in charge of investigating the collapse ..the fact that they needed to be corrected over and over in regards to their collapse theory is not the hallmark of a truther ... Its the hallmark of a person who is critical ... And NIST was PROVEN to be wrong, and worse, they did not correct their mistakes, as is proven

    There are many outlandish theories out there, which i do not entertain ... the fact you have to drag them in to somehow discredit me says more about you and how you are standing in this debate

    A groundbreaking forensic study confirmed that the destruction of the World Trade Center 7 building resulted from the collapse of the adjacent
    North and South Towers, and not from errors in design or construction. The project team’s analysis included nonlinear dynamic thermomechanical
    computational assessments, combined with photos, videos and eyewitness accounts, to analyze and understand the physics behind
    the WTC 7 collapse. Results established that the most plausible cause was the shower of debris from the North Tower, which destroyed WTC 7’s
    structural components while also igniting fires that raged throughout the day. This undermined the building’s steelwork, leading to a downward
    cascade of floors and the buckling of interior columns. The study’s conclusions validate the relative safety of modern office buildings designed
    to current codes and standards.


    Yes they got as far as NIST .... :rolleyes:

    But Weisses, you do believe an outlandish theory. The controlled demolition theory is just are idiotic as the space laser theory.

    All of those pieces of evidence in your poster are either not true and/or self contradictory.
    For example, it states that explosions were heard by credible witnesses.
    However all of those witnesses report single explosions are random points and locations through out the day, not all at once as with real actual demolitions. You yourself claim that all of the dozens of supports were all taken out at once to allow for freefall acceleration.
    If there was explosions through out the day at random intervals, then you can't insist that the supports were all taken out all at once.
    Otherwise it's a contradiction.

    Further, if all the supports were taken out at once, then we would have some witness reports of a rapid sequence of explosions right before the collapse. And that noise would be apparent on the recordings of the collapse.
    But no such explosions exist.

    For another explain, you again run into the triad of contradictions resulting on the idea of the imaginary thermite.
    Firstly, thermite doesn't explode, so it contradicts the notion of witnesses hearing explosions.
    Thermite isn't ever used in controlled demolitions of buildings. It never has been. And it wouldn't result in what you claimed happened as thermite cannot cut supports instantly like explosions do. (Which is why it's not used in demolitions.)
    And finally, if thermite was used it would be again apparent as you claim that the outside supports were taken out as well, so we would have seen or heard reports of the bright, very noticeable flares from the thermite burning. There are no reports of anyone seeing anything like that, despite your belief that these were going off all day.

    And then it repeats the claim that there were pools of molten steel.
    Which if we assume is true, contradicts the conspiracy theory you buy as explosives do not result in pools of molten metal.
    If it was a controlled demolition, there wouldn't be pools of molten metal.
    Molten metal is never present at any other controlled demolition.

    We don't have to drag in other silly theories to discredit you. You do that all on your lonesome.

    Until you can actually address those contradictions as well as the many, many others, your theory is dumber than some of ones like space lasers.

    (Also I love how the list says "symmetrical collapse" right next to a picture that shows the building with a noticeable lopsided bow in the roof.)

    When asked about the passport, you describe it as suspicious. Incredible yes, but why would you choose the word suspicious? why would someone go to the effort of forging, then "planting" a hijackers passport in the middle of the street? it wasn't pivotal evidence at all (the hijackers were named from a myriad of sources), so what was to be gained by taking the added risk? It's just bringing more people into this highly treasonous plot for literally no reason, who plans these things, the keystone cops?

    That is nothing. You entertain the notion that WTC 7 was a controlled demolition. Why would someone want to blow the building up? perfectly timed in the middle of a terrorist attack? what if the planes missed the buildings and people found this entirely "rigged" 47 story building in the middle of NY? what if they were caught rigging the ****ing building by any of the hundreds of people using the building? what if one of the riggers exposed the plot? what if one of them exposed it on their deathbed? what if one of them suddenly had a problem with being involved with killing thousands of fellow country-men?

    And for what?

    If there were"secrets" or papers inside to be destroyed, why didn't they just destroy them while "rigging" the building?
    Why didn't they just let the fire destroy them?
    Why did there "have to be" explosives? why add that extra ridiculous risk? Exploding a ****ing building in the middle of NY with every camera in NY pointing at it, the world's attention

    And not one single investigator noticed this, they could win every prize and accolade going for exposing the biggest most incredible story of the 21st century

    You seem to have no notion how utterly mental and ridiculous that theory is. You've admitted you have no credible evidence for it. Yet you label other people "loons" and dismissing them for their "crazy" theories

    It's staggering

    I am not debating the whats and hows and who

    Everything points towards controlled demolition ...experts in this field are telling you this.

    You have a problem with what the consequences/ ramifications would be if it was controlled demolition

    You post up a link from the The Council on Tall Buildings and Habitats , and they and their 450000 members are saying that the failure of a single column was not the cause of the collapse .... something NIST was relying on to prove their "office fires" collapse hypothesis..... I agree with you there ...Its staggering

    So the report you are so blindly defending is getting criticized left right and centre,

    So yes I stick with it being controlled demolition ... why ? It has all the characteristics of controlled demolition .. and not some random office fires causing instant failure to all the outer columns, resulting in a symmetrical collapse where the building reaches gravitational acceleration.



    Why has no one in the entire world ... no engineer/scientist/proffesor etc etc provided the evidence it could be something else then controlled demolition, forget the fire hypothesis.... what factors/methods other then CT can bring down a building the way wtc7 collapsed.

    If you would use proper science with the brightest people on earth and you would do an elimination game what would you be left over with as a cause ? ... hint ... its not gonna be office fires
