I don't understand the 9/11 Truthers. I mean obviously these people are completely and utterly insane, but even the ones who are just mildly insane don't make sense to me. I'm wondering how exactly these people even reach their conclusions. Even if their thought processes are about as reliable as Shaq making a free throw.*
Okay, so let's say that yes, 9/11 was an inside job by the government to....um, do they actually say what the government's GOAL was with this? Whatever, it doesn't matter. Let's just say it was to kill a lot of people. That makes sense. Anyway, if the American government was completely corrupt** and all politicians just wanted us all dead, wouldn't they have done something like this earlier? And more often? And on a larger scale? It's not like they're limited in their reach, it's the friggin' American government! The bastards have more power than every European country put together!***
Okay, so let's say they did it to, I dunno, instill fear into the hearts of the American populace. What exactly do they gain from doing that? Just to make us think that it was terrorists, so that they could have an excuse to deploy more troops. Well, big news here guys, we don't actually have control over that. We can piss and moan all we want, but unless the president is impeached, we can't do anything about it. So what then?
I'd also discuss the fact that they seem to be trying to convert other people to insanity, not realizing that all the crazy people ALREADY THINK THIS. They have all the numbers they're going to get. But I think that warrants an entirely different post.
*Dammit, I don't even WATCH sports. Why do I KNOW that?
**Rather than kind of corrupt, like it is now.
***May or may not be complete crap.
Firstly, you ought to research building seven. Did you know that it also fell, in addition to the twin towers, and that the news reported its collapse BEFORE IT HAPPENED, indicating that those who control the media (aka the government) knew it was going to happen before it occurred? Also, the twin towers had massive insurance policies taken out on them right before their destruction, and so there was a huge financial reason for them to be destroyed. Building seven collapsed in six seconds at free fall speed, something which is completely unprecedented, seeing as the official account attributes its demise to "falling debris" from the twin towers. Not even a fire could bring down a building in six seconds. In fact, buildings usually remain standing, even after really hot fires have been burning through them for hours. The twin towers supposedly collapsed because their steel core columns were melted by jet fuel, but JET FUEL ONLY BURNS AT 549 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, WHILE THE TEMPERATURE REQUIRED TO MELT STEEL IS AROUND 2500 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. The people who believe 9/11 was an inside job are simply pointing out that almost nothing contained in the government's official report can stand up to the science of the matter... and that once that was established, many other faults were found in the story. They're simply saying that, whatever ACTUALLY happened, there is no possible way for it to have occurred as detailed in the "official" report.
ReplyDeleteSo basically what you're saying is, the news media don't know what they're talking about? SHOCKING.
ReplyDeleteIn all serious, the fact that you completely missed the point of what I was talking about is astonishing. I'm not TALKING about those people. If I was, nothing I said would make any goddamn sense. I'm talking about the REAL crazies. The type that say it's a conspiracy. The type that say the towers NEVER COLLAPSED AT ALL.
You might want to look up "subtext" dear.
I think anonymous friend IS one of the real crazies you're talking about, THE type that says it's a conspiracy.
ReplyDeleteLoooony!!!!
Oh, conspiracy theorists.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to bother to argue with anonymous up there. I've read the pamphlets.
No conspiracy theorists say the towers never collapsed at all you moron. Maybe you should actually read up on it on and then you might have half an inkling of what you think you're talking about.
ReplyDeleteYou know, you aren't doing your side any favors by acting like so stuck-up and calling people names.
