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

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?

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.

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?

"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.

By all means, continue to discuss the "facts". Don't forget to throw in a sprinkle of "scientific method" too.

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. :)

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.

A proper investigation wouldn't "throw more light" on the US government incompetence that contributed to the deaths of 3000 people than the 9/11 commission? That's the 9/11 commission that both co-chairs describe as "set up to fail"? The same one that Bush and Cheney refused to cooperate with? The same one whose executive director was Philip Zelikow.

Fair enough.

I'll presume you've seen the AE doco. You see no compelling evidence in that at all? The fact WTC7 collapsed at free fall speed and looks identical to every other controlled demolition isn't compelling to you?

First - don't see why the word "facts" is interesting here given none of what you wrote was presented by me as fact. Second - Larry's mate and massive Bush/Cheney supporter Lewis M Eisenberg was the previous controller of the WTC. He could have arranged access for whoever his mates wanted. He couldn't have profited from a terrorist attack though obviously.

Interesting in this context is Bush's faux pas. How would any al Qaeda operative get inside any US building to plant explosives without help? How could al Qaeda possibly get enough operatives inside a US building to plant enough explosives to ensure people above the explosives couldn't escape? Why would Khalid Sheikh Mohammed tell anyone any of this?

So lets review the facts here. Larry's mate Lew is the controller of the WTC complex. The Port Authority had for years wanted to demolish the towers because they were full of asbestos, unprofitable and in need of $200m worth of repairs. Larry must have known this because he developed WTC7 in 1986 and his good mate ran the towers at the time. Larry ignored all this and became the first leaseholder of the WTC complex in its 33 year history, 7 weeks before 9/11. Larry profited $500m. Larry tried to profit $3B.

One clause in Silverstein Properties' insurance policies for the new WTC holdings soon proved instrumental. Quoting the British Financial Times of September 14, 2001, the American Reporter wrote that ‘ the lease has an all-important escape clause: If the buildings are struck by “an act of terrorism”, the new owners' obligations under the lease are void. As a result, the new owners are not required to make any payments under their lease, but they will be able to collect on the loss of the buildings that collapsed or were otherwise destroyed and damaged in the attacks.

You're calling me dishonest and morally bankrupt?

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.
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?

Have you been using friends and families of the 3000 victims deserving a proper inquiry, or claiming we need to do the right thing by them, as a reason for your calls for a new inquiry ?

The answer to your question and mine are the same.
 
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.

Why does this rile you so much? All I'm doing is playing devil's advocate to the claims a conspiracy is impossible.

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 ?

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?

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.

What's crack pot about making suggestions that the demolition team was murdered as part of the cover up?

Nothing.........nothing at all. Totally legitimate proposal.

My support is for the victims calling for a new inquiry.

Do you think everyone who doesn't accept the OR is a crackpot?

WTC5 was Larry's and WTC6 was the US customs HQ. The difference in damage is quite stark.
