Don > if the truth about what happened on 9/11 is ever going to break beyond a niche tucked away on the Internet I certainly understand the frustration. And, indeed, a frustration which is made even worse by the repeated demonstration that there is no meeting of minds when "non-believers" or "dis-believers" engage with "believers", on the internet or anywhere else, for that matter. For example, when I tell my wife, who has a broad a mind as most people (married to me she has to have), that the US government set up 9-11, she thinks I'm nuts. In fact, most people I speak to on the subject can't believe it. From what they say there seem to be two main reason why they don't believe it: 1. They don't believe a conspiracy involving so many people could be kept secret. 2. They don't believe that the President of the US could be party to a plot which involves murdering his own subjects. Perhaps those on the thread who accept the official version might offer other reasons. Unfortunately, debates on the various points usually end up as slanging matches, insults or ad hominem attacks. For this reason, I seldom get involved in trying to convince anyone about anything and I avoid arguments and unpleasantness as much as possible. Que sera, sera.

Hi Don, I've just reviewed your thread header. I like the way that you've broken things down into a series of numbered declarative sentences and have made the story flow from one logical point to another. That was very well done. If I were have written such a piece, (and I do intend to steal this item from you, BTW), I'd provided a lot more endnotes and links to back up the assertions being made. My idea is that you've created a great document for a lay reader, and I'd like to build upon that foundation and start to create the document that a criminal prosecutor would feel comfortable with in terms of the rules of evidence. That said, I'd encourage you to reverse the order of the information being presented in the header. To immediately impugn the Zionists may be something that all of us here agree with (after enough study of the subject matter), but it is a bit jarring to have that long list of Zionists in the Bush White House/DoD apparatus at the start of the page. I'd prefer to see that list at the end of the thread header, rather than at the top of the page. It's simply a matter of bringing in more readers and not offending some with off-putting materials that could be easily miscast as being racist. Better to alert the reader that there was a conspiracy at the top of the page, and then point the finger at the culprits at the bottom of the page. JMO, Ray :)
