Official Conspiracy Theory Called "dogma of political correctness"

Bush's approval rating of some 18 percent (give or take a gopper) approaches zero. We're talking black holes and singularities here. This historic plunge is traced to numerous hoaxes Bush pulled on the American people: Iraq, the economy, a phony war on 'tehrruh', the GOPs elitist agenda. Bush has gotten away with it because the GOP are trained to believe whatever is repeated three times. Lately, Bush followers have surpassed the high standards of Lewis Carroll, believing "as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Among them is Bush's 'official conspiracy theory' of 911.
The causes officially given for the incidents are not a sufficient explanation for what actually happened on that day, especially as regards the logistics of this highly sophisticated operation and the very advanced infrastructure required for it.

Instead of dealing with the contradictions and inconsistencies in the official version of events and the numerous gaps in terms of the factual information, a "dogma of political correctness" has been promulgated according to which 19 Islamic-inspired Arab hijackers, directed by an elusive "Al-Qaeda" ("base"), succeeded in carrying out the atrocities all by themselves.

--Scoop, Dr. Hans Koechler: 9/11 may have been an insider job

As Bush hangs by a thread, there is a list of indictments for which he could hang later. As the Bush 'vision thing' crashes and burns, an increasingly tiny band of loud mouthed GOP cultists, deniers of science and logic, born again believers in fairy tales and miracles are left only their loud mouths and astounding intellectual challenges. I am referring, of course, to gullible folk whose ancestors most certainly burned witches in Europe and hanged them at Salem. In other words, the born again believers in Bush's 'official conspiracy theory of 911'.

It makes no sense to believe a man about one thing when he has told nothing but lies about everything else. What makes 911 different? As Dr. Hans Koechler points out, it has become 'politically correct dogma'. As Ronald Reagan's 'trickle down theory' and 'fundamentalist Christianity' has done for 'true believers', the 'official conspiracy theory of 911, relieves its 'true believers' of responsibility for their 'sins' and places it with a 'rag tag band' of 'evil terrorists'. The GOP's faith in the 911 orthodoxy has become a secular religion, akin to their unquestioned belief in Christianity, a faith --not a science --in which they are relieved of responsibility, forgiven all sins in exchange for merely believing a 'dogma' for which there is not a shred of logic or fact in support. The 'terrorists' have become Christ-like. They have borne America's collective guilt and died for our sins.

The good news is that we true skeptics have won this debate. Our case is logical and precise. As the case against Bush grows stronger, that of Bush's authoritarian officialists grows more desperate, its partisans more shrill and nonsensical. When freepers, GOP hypocrites and 'bitter enders' descend into utter lunacy, the debate is over. We win!

Among the more absurd fallacies indulged by Bush apologists is an attempt to 'spin' the Bush administration's refusal to release all the photos taken of whatever it was that crashed into the Pentagon. The attempt ignores the fact that the photos were ordered seized by the Bush administration. With absurd circular fallacies, Bush officialists criticize 'us' for not having seen the photos. That, of course, is precisely the problem and precisely our complaint. The photos, evidence of a crime, were not released, in fact, covered-up in an act of obstruction of justice --a felony! There is the very real possibility that all have been destroyed by now. Missing the point and mistaking conclusions for premises, however, is to be expected from a political wing that most surely has more idiots in it than is statistically normal!

Another idiocy typical of Bush partisans involves what firefighters called a 'punch out' hole in the inner ring. Bush kiss ups, in a masterpiece of circular logic, claim that the hole cannot be evidence of a missile because, uh... 'there is no evidence of a missile.' That this is said with a straight face is evidence of the utter failure of the American educational system.

A theory --even stupid 'official theories' that are handed top from the top --must account for every observed phenomenon. What Johnny Cochran said of a glove can be said of every theory: if it does not fit, you must acquit! The 'official theory' fails that very first and critical test. Just as Newtonian physics cannot account for the slowing of clocks at near light speeds, the official conspiracy theory of 911 does not, cannot explain the Pentagon punch-out hole, an observed phenomenon of which photos were made. Contrary to what Bush officialists would have you believe, the 'hole' is evidence of something and that 'something' is not a 757, of which there is nary a scrap.

Besides --Bush's brigade of official conspiracy theorists have stated on this blog that 757 airliners --made of aluminum --simply vaporized, that is, turned into a gas upon hitting the Pentagon outer wall at some 530 MPH. Lunacy!

The official conspiracy theorists simply cannot get their stories straight. Did the 757 vaporize? Or did it manage to shrink sufficiently to create and 'get through' the tiny punch out hole in the inner ring? Or --are we to believe that the hole has nothing to do with whatever it was that hit the Pentagon? Perhaps, the hole is a portal into another dimension, the Twilight Zone, where airliners turn into gasses, where evidence of something is evidence of nothing, and Alice is expected to believe six impossible things before breakfast.

Though 911 is the GOP's last redoubt, I suspect Bush's warning of new terrorist attacks that would make 911 'pale by comparison' didn't 'test' well by GOP poll takers and spin-meisters. The pollsters should have interviewed Rudy Giuliani. As Guiliani's failed candidacy proves, the 'good ol' days' when a GOP candidate need only raise the specter of impossible tower collapses to stampede a gullible public are gone. Having lied about everything else, odds are Bush will never tell the truth about 911. But, if Guiliani's experience is worth anything, we might look forward to hearing less GOP demagoguery about 911. Trolls, however, have hot yet gotten the memo. The bullshit brigades are even more annoying than a Ron Paul supporter at a precious metals convention. Certainly, platitudes and fear tactics have a finite shelf life.
[T]he towers came straight down. Accordingly, the official theory, by implying that fire produced collapses that perfectly mimicked the collapses that have otherwise been produced only by precisely placed explosives, requires a miracle. [21]

--Why the Official Account Cannot Be True, David Ray Griffin

While only controlled demolitions are known to have exhibited the observed nature of the towers' falls, other experts, of differing backgrounds, find other fatal flaws in the official conspiracy theory. Dr. Hans Koechler has recently called the 'official conspiracy' theory a "dogma of political correctness", characterizing the 'official theory' as one in which "19 Islamic-inspired Arab hijackers, directed by an elusive "Al-Qaeda" ("base"), succeeded in carrying out the atrocities all by themselves." But, of course, being superstition, it doesn't matter to Bush's ever dwindling base that none of the 'hijackers' were accomplished Cessna pilots. Miraculously, they flew airliners with impossible precision. The official conspiracy theory is a fairy tale told to gullible goppers to make them feel better about being greedy, self-absorbed goppers for whom America is superior to an inferior world. The official theory relieves them of all responsibility for GOP policies which have over a period of at least 30 years made terrorism worse. [See:Terrorism is Worse Under GOP Regimes] If the 'official conspiracy theory' had been designed to dull critical thinking abilities, it succeeded.

An update:

A structural engineer who was a member of the team assembled by the American Society of Civil Engineers to investigate the World Trade Center site after 9/11 has described numerous phenomena indicating extremely high temperatures suffered by the WTC structural steel. This appears to be further evidence that high-temperature explosives, such as thermate, were used to bring down the towers.

Dr. Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl is a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of California at Berkeley, who specializes in studying structural damage done by earthquakes and terrorist bombings. He flew to New York on September 19, 2001 to conduct a two-week reconnaissance of the collapsed towers, hoping to gain an understanding of how they'd come down. He was able to examine numerous pieces of steel taken from Ground Zero. [1]

How to square the circle?

Dear Len,

I figure you might find it helpful to check out the website of www.drjudywood.com - tons of amazing pictures of weird Dali type happpenings that day, but Wood and Hutchison  dispute that it needs heat to make it happen!

 

Hutchison effect technology - or beam weapons, or directed energy weapons or  cold disintegration/fusion effects. 

Take care about the Thermite-to-create-the-necessary-heat  hypothesis , as then Hawks Cafe people tell us that Al Qada in Iraq stole all that Thermite precuror material from Saddam's rocket programe and shipped it via Quebec to NY Harbour and then put it in the Trade towers for tehermite-enhanced destrction of the towers. 

 Thus co-opting 911 'truth' for renewed war purposes (plus scapegoating the relatively lowly Bush dup, Marvin and Wirt Winkler iii who were involved in the security company at the WTC).  

 

cheers, keith

Important points, Keith

In any crime scene, it's important to establish WHAT happened before further action is taken.

 As you point out, there is a great deal of evidence at http://www.checktheevidence.com/ and http://www.nomoregames.net shows that what some 9/11 truthers think happened did not happen.

Another example is "So many witnesses saw and heard the 2nd plane hit the WTC that those who say there were no planes at the WTC are stupid/disinfo/cointelpro" etc. However, if you look at the actual data gathered, you actual start to question the "received wisdom" about witnesses. This study has links to all the witness data.

Also, the thermite theory has mainly been proposed by Steve Jones. Evidence regarding his previous activities should also be examined closely.

Reply: There are no "Directed Energy Weapons" involved in this.

The buildings were most likely brought down with thermite cutter charges.

There are presently no directed ennergy weapons anywhere near capable of doing the things Judy Wood is apparently imagining, nor are there likely to be any such weapons any time soon.

Reply: Look at Judy Woods' website

Look at Judy Woods' website and especially review the numerous images of cars parked as far as half a mile away from WTC complex that were mysteriously melted and deformed... strangely with all their chrome plated parts, such as door handles and grilles completely vaporized... Trucks which were melted like butter at one end while intact at the opposite.

Perhaps it was not a "directed beam weapon" but some massive burst of heat or energy... What turned concrete to dust while leaving tons of paper untouched and littering all those those streets?

Reply: you have said this in other threads

as if you're some kind of authority on directed energy weapons. Please cite your credentials that allow you to make such a definitive statement about the existence of such DEWs.

For example....

Did you work at Los Alamos?

Did you work for Applied Research Associates (ARA)?

Did you work for Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)?

Both ARA and SAIC are sponsors of the Directed Energy Professional Society.

Both ARA and SAIC were contracted by NIST for the WTC report.

Steven Jones worked at Los Alamos. 

 

Again, under what basis can you claim that such weapons don't exist? Be specific., and try to explain yourself scientifically.

Reply: It's too bad the Dr. Judy Wood site has incorrect assertions

There appears to be a common theme in the site of attacking the theory of controlled demolition using thermite.

To make this case against thermite CD, some liberties have been taken with reports made by professor Steven Jones.  Quoting the Dr. Judy Wood site:

Steven Jones often talks about the "pools of molten metal" and "ponds of molten metal" in the basements of the WTC towers. He's also repeated the story of the steel-toed boots of the workers melting "after just a few hours" doing work on "the pile" at the WTC site.

Steven Jones also states that you need to run experiments to prove something.  OK, if he's going to use that story of the workers' steel-toed boots melting because of the molten metal on "the pile," he needs to do experiments. (This is his rule.) A true scientist values observations and careful analysis of evidence as essential, whether the evidence already exists or if it is obtained through an experiment.

So, if Steven Jones believes experiments must be conducted to confirm anything, then he needs to put on some steel-toed work boots and slosh across molten metal and then report back his results about what happened to the boots. I think it was said the boots melted in "a few hours" on the pile, which means at least two hours. So, Jones needs to stand in the molten metal for two hours to see what happens to the boots.

It has been several years since I first heard about molten metal in the pile and at no time had I ever considered that the molten metal was at the top of the pile.  The first time I ever heard that idea was today on the Dr. Judy Wood site.  All previous accounts I have read speak of molten metal being at the bottom of the pile or at least well below the surface. 

Obviously, no boot or foot would survive a "slosh across molten metal".  However, no one is claiming anyone did walk in molten metal so this is a baseless criticism.  However, if one walks on a pile that is being heated from somewhere below by molten metal, the idea that boots could melt over the course of several hours is quite reasonable.

I could ignore this baseless criticism as a isolated case of misunderstanding, however this single page continues by making another odd critique.  The page shows the original photograph and the high contrast version used in a presentation by Dr. Jones. 

Steven Jones said those bright-white spots are evidence of thermite. I think you are right that it's also so dark that you can't see what's going on. The psyops is to train the viewer to see "thermite" when they see this photo

What is odd about this critique is that the same white spots are clearly visible in the original photo.  I do not see how adjusting the contrast to make the white spots easier to see is somehow sinister.

Further, an insinuation is made that Steven Jones, David Ray Griffin, and others are somehow part of the official cover up:

Definition of Psychological Operations:

'Psychological Operations:  Planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals. The purpose of psychological operations is to induce or reinforce foreign attitudes and behavior favorable to the originator's objectives. Also called PSYOP. See also consolidation psychological operations; overt peacetime psychological operations programs; perception management. ' US Department of Defense

Where is any evidence for this insinuation other than the misrepresented information presented on this page? 

I do not want to leave the impression that the site has no merit.  To the contrary, the page using billiard balls to illustrate WTC collapse times is one of the clearest demonstrations yet of the fallacy in the official government conspiracy theory about how the towers were destroyed.  There is merit in investigating the cause of selective melting in nearby vehicles and other evidence that may have not been explained by the official theory or controlled demolition.

However, critique of any theories must be based on an understanding of the assertions made in those theories, and conjecture about the motives of those involved, while interesting, does nothing to further the science.

Too Strident

Not strident enough...

Too Strident

It is impossible to be 'strident' in the condemnation of mass murder!

Is 9-11 an excuse to vent your spleen on this pet peeve of trashing Christianity? You obviously hate Christianity and that seems to be the main thrust of this article.

The thrust of the article was lost on you. It had to do with the probable cause that mass murder was committed. It's not my fault that Bush's base --by his own admission --consisted largely of fundamentalist Christians. I can assure you, my points are valid had Bush's base consisted of Muslims, Sufis, or Sun Worshippers. The point because you missed it is that people believe whatever makes them feel good about themselves. Belief in an irrational conspircy theory, the official conspiracy theory, relieves those who believe of responsibility. Some folk are psychologically pre-disposed to blame others for their own failures. By extension, these folk cannot accept the fact that Bushco lied about 911. There is not a shred of hard evidence in support of anything thing he's ever said about 911. 

The bigotry here is a good example of poisoning the well, thus tarring the whole truth movement.

I think it is you who is the bigot! You have a big log in your eye. Where do you get off attributing positions to me that I have not taken? I made an analogy to Christian theology, apparently lost on you. Next time try debating without attributing to othes positions that they have not taken.

I can handle the truth

911 Truthers seek to encourage the general population to support an international/non-neocon dominated investigation of the 911 atrocity; an open process that is well funded and has subpoena power. This mass murder has never been properly and publicly investigated. Existing forensic evidence relative to dust and metallic sphere chemical analysis casts real doubt on the official NIST and FEMA building collapse theories. (wtc.nist.gov/media/JonesWTC911SciMethod.pdf page 22)

In our system of government (as if that means anything anymore), it is a jury that is the finder of fact. In this mass murder case, there has been no discovery, no presentation of evidence, no direct testimony and no cross-examination. We have had to settle for a flawed, incomplete and self-contradictory 911 Commission public report that made damn sure that no one would be held accountable.

Planned trials of accused terrorists allegedly responsible for the 911 attacks will be in secret. Published testimony will be censored due to "national security" concerns. Confessions obtained under torture will likely be introduced into evidence. The death penalty will follow and, like Saddam, dead men tell no tales. There will be no further public disclosure of the money trail, or of the unusual insider trading (short selling UA, AA, etc.) hours before the attack that made several "unknown" entities tens of millions.

With all the lies this administration has spewed over the past seven years, why anyone would give them the benefit of the doubt on anything is beyond me. And in the case of the 911 atrocity, there is ample room for doubt.
