I can't sit here and say that 9/11 was an inside job. But if I did I would say you need to look a little higher than just GW and Cheney. You would also have to look a little further back in time than the GW administration. I can't say 9/11 was an inside job. I can only remember watching the towers fall and thinking how remarkably similar to a hollywood controled demolition it all looked like. And hearing MSM network anchors saying the same thing. I also remember Osama's initial denials of involvement. I also remember hearing about Stock market short selling that just seemed to coincidentally profit from 9/11. These things I remember on my own without resorting to Alex Jones or loose Change. I won't say 9/11 was a False Flag Attack on the USA. But if I were to try and make a case for such an assertion I would use as a connecting link, The States, people and concerns that have benefited the most since this 9/11 day. This would be a not such a long list really. It's fair to say that Big Oil has benefited. Illegal Drug Cartels have benefited from the reemergence of the Opium trade in Afghanistan. War and Munitions entrepreneurs have thrived in this post 9/11 war climate. The Privately owned Federal Reserve somehow has done well for themselves and their member banks by servicing all this deficit spending. Though I admit it's beyond me to say how exactly. Other than to say I doubt they do this simply as a public service as is generally thought by the public at large. No I can't prove 9/11 was an inside job. But I think it's safe to say that 9/11 was definitely a stroke of good luck for some more so than others.

That's what it looked like to me when I saw the towers fall that day. I have read much about the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job. I have even watched the South Park episode that more or less called me a retard for thinking there was anything to the conspiracy theories about 9/11. While I am usually supportive of the stands taken by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, I have to say I disagree with their take on 9/11 conspiracy theories. While I agree that there are many questions about 9/11 that can be answered scientifically, and just as many that are outright hair-brained bullshit, there remains to my mind one fundamental question about that day that has yet to be answered. What about the buildings falling so precisely? I preface this by saying I am not an expert on controlled implosion. Take that for what it's worth. However, I watch the Discovery Channel and other "educational" networks. I have seen many controlled implosions. They all have a certain look to them, and a certain, shall we say, grace. The building in question, no matter what it is, falls as though it was crushed from above like a cigarette butt. Can anyone look at the fall of the twin towers and not see this perfection of destruction? Can anyone look at them falling and not think how much it looks like all the other controlled implosions they have ever seen? Then there's the fact that not only did the twin towers fall, so too did tower 7. It wasn't hit by any debris. It was barely damaged in the fire that began from burning jet fuel falling at its base. Even assuming that the story of the fuel tanks for generators being set ablaze by this burning jet fuel were true, which I doubt, the resulting fire wouldn't have been enough to destroy the steel girders that kept the building up. When it fell, tower 7 fell with the same grace and perfection of the twin towers. It simply makes no sense. AND when one looks contextually, why would towers 1, 2, and 7 all fall so perfectly when no other skyscrapers hit by planes, or damaged by fire have fallen before or since? The Empire State Building was hit by a bomber. Many were killed, but the building was rebuilt. It didn't fall. It's still there today! Just a few months ago, a skyscraper in Manhattan was hit by a private airplane. There was a small fire, a bit more of one than hit tower 7, and that building is still standing. It makes no sense. I should say it makes no sense unless you assume that the fall of towers 1, 2, and 7 had nothing to do with the planes that hit them, and everything to do with having charges set for their controlled implosions. The question of why the buildings fell has yet to be answered to my satisfaction. While there may be many issues put forth in the 9/11 conspiracy that are fanciful, trumped up, or downright fabrications, the fact that the World Trade Center remains the only set of steel reinforced skyscrapers to be brought down by fire cannot be so easily poo-pooed away. Blessed be! Pappy

First of all, cyberspace users who pass stuff on by hitting the all button, are Internet Neophytes. Have mercy on them and delete them. I get those all of the time. Sadly, most of the stuff they pass on is bogus anyway (SPAM) and a quick google or ask, would tell them the same. A few bad apples in a basket truly does cause other apples around them to become rotted. But, you've got to remember, these gourds are in that 30th percentile, when it comes to political understanding. A 30th percentile in a classroom in high school would win you a BUNCH of time in remediation classes. The left 29% GB lovers need a LOT of remediation, but, ... I have yet to come up with a valid plan to remediate them. Maybe, just maybe we could come up with an IPI instead of an IEP like we do in public schools. IEP stands for Individual Education Program. IPI, ... might mean, Individual Political Intervention.

It's somewhat reassuring to hear that Democrats plan to hold investigations into Bush Regime and Republican crimes for the last six years, but everyday that Bush retains power, he and the Rabid Right will commit new crimes against humanity. If the past is any indication, we can expect them to continue their assaults on the constitution and our civil rights on a daily basis. Surely Bush and his un-indicted co-conspirators must be beginning to feel cornered, which might inspire them to commit even more heinous crimes. This gang of sociopaths has no qualms about employing torture or genocide for profit, so where do they draw the line? Might they nuke Iran in the hopes of provoking another attack on American soil. Such an attack would incite millions of Americans into a patriotic frenzy for revenge, the likes of which we have never seen. The more threatened the Rabid Right becomes, the more desperate to escape justice they will become. Dire circumstances usually result in desperate measures. Democrats must be prepared to employ dire countermeasures to combat whatever crimes these madmen attempt.
