Quote by: Patrick Henry Daytime maybe. At night? How many people are around? |
C'mon, Patrick. This isn't the local mall we're talking about. This was the World Trade Center, the beating heart of a global economy that never sleeps, in the city that never sleeps, with a capacity of 50,000 people. There must have been thousands of people there on any given midnight, not to mention maintainence staff. You're talking about a crew of probably hundreds bringing in tons of explosives and installing them so cleverly - on multiple floors yet - that no one would notice that night or the next day.

Quote by: Patrick Henry And Sonart, the explosive demolition charges weren't placed exactly on the floors hit by planes, but were placed throughout the buildings with radio detonators controllable remotely. |
So now you're saying they rigged, what? -- fifty potential floors of two 110 story buildings... just in case???? Right... by invisible martians. :rolleyes:

Quote by: Patrick Henry What is harder to believe: that men with box cutters were able to demolish skyscrapers or that a deadly regime with deep connections to terror were able to bring about mass collapses with elaborate plans? |
That men with box cutters AND with deep connections to terror were able to bring about the collapses with elaborate plans... elaborate, meaning 5 years to plan the hijacking of multiple airliners. That's an elaborate plan. Your conspiracy is elaborate beyond all human capacity. Remote control airliners?????????

Quote by: Patrick Henry More of it was as an excuse to pass things like the Patriot Act. 9/11 = the Reichstag fire. We get scared, the government says "we can protect you, IF you give up more of your rights" and the sheep say "Okay, do what you want, just protect us!" They're doing the same thing with Katrina. Every disaster, every attack, is an excuse to chip away at our rights, until we have a police state. |
:eek: Belial, in the short time you've been here I've really come to enjoy your posts, and Patrick Henry knows I've been a big fan of his for a long time.
But this stuff really spooks me... this is paranoia bordering on psychosis. I've always known that Patrick was a devout Libertarian with a bit of a conspiracy belief underneath but I always thought it was from well thought out beliefs, not from paranoid delusions that the government was actually out to get us by any means necessary, including the destruction of the two most significant buildings in American history, by means of a plot so convoluted, so monumentally complex and impossible as to defy belief, and all just to increase the administration's political power? The Reichstag fire is one thing... that's a cinch, something that was easily blamable on one man, and Hitler had the luxary of being able to engineer a show trial. But THIS!!! Under the noses of the entire American media???? Not a hint of a whistleblower in sight???? I'm sorry, no.
Patrick, you
KNOW that I am absolutely no fan whatsoever of this administration. This has nothing to do with me thinking that government is "my best friend". That's silly. And so is this conspiracy nonsense. If you guys really believe this, then I'm sorry, but you need to talk to someone. You're creating delusional nonsense to justify your pre-existing paranoia.
Either that or busting a gut having a huge joke on all of us.
