Otherwise, I find it difficult to understand why they would even find the topic of interest. There are links to some very elementary stuff contained in the original post. While I'm pretty sure some of them no longer function, there should still be enough to get a feel for what the subject is about. My interest in this thread started due to the stated reasons as to why the towers failed... I read the "evidence" in these sites and also have discussed (in the past, and now my renewed interest leads to new discussions), this evidence with engineers who I happen to have a direct relationship and I cannot find hard evidence that these conspiracy theories could hold water.... My interest wanes when I read things that seem to "accommodate” the events without solid proof of what they are stating.The reason they have gotten away with it so far is because the majority of the population is much like yourself. It seems too terrible to be true, in spite of the fact that most of the information has been staring them in the face for going on 3 years. Yeah well... it seems the business of conspiracy to be so easy to accomplish that perhaps I am in the wrong business... I ought to dream up one of them crazy theories with a small twist and direct some of the funds my way... perhaps granting some exclusive rights to sell T shirts promoting a particular theory... What I believe it is happening in that the US government has taken advantage of the fear of the people and enhanced circumstances in a way that has made relatively easy for them to further their particular agenda. I also believe that the neocons have learned the lessons during the Clinton administration's witch hunt and now are really dangerous, indeed taking control of key elements of the government that is allowing them to entrench their agenda beyond a possible election defeat. That part I am convinced of and I consider it more than evil, then again conservative extremists (as well as leftist extremists) have always been evil... so what's new? Anyway... The best I can personally do is to shield me from the effects of these evils, regardless of the origin... I am working on that.9/11 was an inside job. It provided Zionists in our government an excuse to attack Israel's enemies. It provided the excuse to execute two wars that had been on the drawing board since day one of the Bush administration. And it provided the excuse for the Bush Cartel to dip into our pockets to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. Without 9/11, none of those things would have been possible. lol... Zionists? hmm ok... as for "dipping into our pockets" hmmm but... but... I thought the tax cuts were to give us money back ... right? I mean that's why the looming deficit and all that right? As for the wars... yes, quite true... but rather, they used 9/11 as an excuse I agree ... but it does not mean that the government created 9/11.. They just took advantage of it to advance their agenda... you might begin to understand why those of us who have taken the time to seriously research the subject actually do have enough information to connect the dots. Ok... let's follow that... you connected the dots, and then... what are you all doing about it? Even assuming it all is true... what can be done about it? That is really what I need to be paying attention to... what will be the counter trend to what the government is doing how powerful it can get and what will the consequences may be... now, that I need to find out as it will affect me, so as usual, I will try to be one step ahead in order to be protected and if possible take advantage of...
