You might want to google "WT7 collapse report" and download the NIST NCSTAR 1A report (1st hit). In addition to the report of the collapses it lists all the contributors and consultants, one of the heads of the many facets of the investigation involved metallurgical analysis of structural steel. What secrecy and extraordinary lengths are you talking about ? Document it from credible sources.
I evaluate each post on its own merits whether I usually agree with the author or not (which usually I emphatically do not). You've made clear your position, "I believe what I believe". That's clearly a statement of a faith-based positon. Some people would have added "and nothing will change my mind". "Nothing" would include credible evidence and facts. It's not surprising, studies have shown that friequently when believers are confronted with facts that contradict their beliefs they'll not only to continue to believe but even harden their belief. Apoligies for that human tendency is not required.
As you have observed, 596, I seldom agree with you, but I'm with you on this one. The "truthers" tactics remind me of the quote attributed to Lenin & Geobles (sp?): "if you tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth".
No, you are off by many decades, long enough for me to become a "person of science" who knows how to differentiate between beliefs/claims and facts supported by evidence. If you've uncovered facts supported by evidence that has been compiled by experts in their fields and such evidence has been favorably reviewed by peers then by all means contact your congressmen and perhaps the Department of Justice. After all, we're talking about a conspiracy to commit ma*ss murder and there is no statuate of limitations.
Of course ! The explosives would have to have been placed in advance where the planes would strike, It's absolute nonsense.
I the quote is attributed to Carl Sagan, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", ( The structural designs of the buildngs involved were carefully examined by panels of experts and structural failure induced by the weaking of steel by heat generated by the burning of thousands of gallons of jet fuel was the fully reasonable conclusion. In the case of WT7 the failure of single critical support due to heat generated by fire burning for hours was determined to be the cause. No other factors were found to be necessary by the panels of experts, examining all the evidence, to explain the collapses.)
What a totally lame reply !
ANTI-CONSPIRACY THEORISTS????? LOL-- talk about spinning ! What a perposterous statement ! If someone comes up with a conspiracy theory it's up to them to provide the evidence for it ! It's not being a "anti-conspiracy theorist" to demand evidence. That's like calling the defense attorney and jurors on a murder trial "anti-murder theorists" because they need evidence for the conviction.
Oh, where would you suggest I look -- perhaps search "9-11 hoax", "9-11 the truth", "9-11 the goverment hoax", or perhaps "9-11 conspiracy" ? I'll betcha I'd get a bunch of hits -- presenting unsupported claims, "facts" that are facta in claim only, hearsay, and so on.
