You state that as though it is fact when it is not.

Disco08 said:I've stated a few times now that I support a proper investigation because I believe the first one was a sham and because I believe many of the US administration's actions need explaining. I've also said a few times that while expert opinion about controlled demolition is compelling it only supports the need for proper inquiries and doesn't prove anything. I re-stated pretty much that again this arvo.
Do you agree on either point in isolation?
Disco08 said:While all the speculation would be disproved if proper inquiries found that controlled demolition certainly did not cause the collapse of any WTC building that shoudn't stop us discussing other facts should it?
Disco08 said:No worries. This was a throw away line then?
Don't worry. I won't harp on and on about it. I'd hate to look like a desperate Christian trying to defend ID.

antman said:On the first, I agree that the US government was in large part incompetent both in advance and after the events. Would a fresh inquiry throw more light on this? I doubt it. On the second, I've seen no compelling evidence that a controlled demolition of any of the buildings took place. I'm not sure what another technical inquiry could show to change this.
antman said:"Facts" is an interesting word to use in that sentence, given that your explanation that Larry obtained the lease, insured the building, hired a demolition squad to install explosives, which they did (without anyone noticing of course), then he had them all killed, all within a two month period in 2001. Actually probably less, given the attacks were on the 11th of September.
Baloo said:Fair point. Silly of me to use your facts without first verifying them for myself.
Yet you've got no qualms about trying to sell your crack pot facts as proof that we need to do the right thing by the families and friends of the 3000 that died ? The crack pot sites don't speak for the relatives of the 3000 who were killed. Claiming to do so is simply dishonest and morally bankrupt.
There you go again! youre unbeleivable!Disco08 said:There's 2 basic sides to the truth movement. One group - such as the victims and experts - are specifically critical of the commission and NIST reports and believe events of this magnitude deserve better. That alone drives their call for a proper investigation. Whether that leads to incompetence or complicity is in the hands of the evidence. The second group are the conspiray theorists who use various theories rangeing from possibly plausible to downright wacky to assert the US most definitely were behind the attacks. TBH I doubt the second group even care about a proper investigation. You're also right that they're doing quite a bit of harm to the genuine truth movement but it's a free world. You can't stop them, you can only use common sense to determine who you're going to listen to and who you're going to ignore.
On Larry, you're missing my point. Larry's involvement - however suspicious or innocent - is irrelevant. Unless the cause of the collapse of any or all of the 3 buildings can be properly explained as controlled demolition his actions must be considered pure coincidence.
On piffle - piffle to you to. Larry built WTC7 in the 80's didn't he? Bush's brother Marv was also the part owner of Securacom (their cousin was CEO too) who had the WTC security contract at the time (and the contracts for UAL and Dulles airport conveniently enough). You can't tell me that - should these people have been responsible - they most certainly couldn't have hired a few controlled demolition teams to secretly rig the buildings (under a guise of legitimacy) and then have them all killed. The implied plan involved murdering thousands so a few more wouldn't have changed anything. Time was also not really a factor given Marv's company won that contract in '99.

tigertim said:There you go again! youre unbeleivable!
Now you're theorising the demolition teams were murdered? For the bloke who claims he doesn't know what happened you sure keep coming up with ridiculous paranoid theories. Do you think if they were murdered their families would be kicking up a bit of a fuss? Don't tell me, "the media" would stifle them! A cover up on the cover up?
Try and stay with us in the real world old boy.
Didn't Marvin leave Securacom in 2000? But he knew the attack was coming so had the building rigged a year beforehand right?
Is there any proof the CEo was their cousin?
Disco08 said:I support a proper inquiry because the first one was a sham. Everyone deserves better than that and many victims are demanding it. If you think that makes me dishonest and morally bankrupt I feel very sorry for you.
Baloo said:Is it all 3000 or many ? Is it even half of the 3000 demanding it ? is it even more than 100 actively demanding a re-inquiry ?
Or have most accepted what happened, that terrorists flew took over 4 planes and crashed either into buildings or into the ground, and just want to get on with their lives without having to be reminded of what happened each and every day by crack pots with crack pot theories on their crack pot websites ?
Disco08 said:What exactly is crackpot about objecting to the manner in which the 9/11 commission was conducted?
Who knows how many victims support a new inquiry? Why does that matter? Wouldn't it be easier to ignore a new inquiry than to live with the feeling you were lied to and cheated by the people investigating your loved one's death?
What's crack pot about making suggestions that the demolition team was murdered as part of the cover up?Disco08 said:What exactly is crackpot about objecting to the manner in which the 9/11 commission was conducted?

Baloo said:It matters when the crack pots are using the argument that what they are demanding is on behalf of the families and friends of the 3000 victims when, many, if not most, are not demanding a new inquiry, they have accepted what's happened and want to just lead their lives.
What gives the crack pots the right to speak on behalf of the families of the 3000 victims ? There might be some, a few, or many that are demanding a new enquiry, but there sure as hell isn't all 3000. I'd wager not even half do.
