yes, former president or not, he needs evidence to make such an assertion
232 architects and engineers? you sound like the creationists who list 600+ voting scientists and 150 PHDs in their "society". Find me a sizable number of peer-reviewed, globally respected within the scientific community architects, engineers or scientists(or your number means nothing) (http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-scientists.html)
And give me links to "non-truther" websites for your evidence, those that aren't supported by the aforementioned communities should not be regarded as credible. In the 9/11 debate, use the same sources that would be accepted by a western university for a master's thesis
Hating George Bush is fun and all, but without some credible evidence it's hard to take these "truthers" seriously. Loose Change was a joke in that it assumed to know more than the scientific community who do not believe in this conspiracy. People like those that stormed Bill Maher's show a few weeks back don't increase the integrity of your movement either(http://youtube.com/watch?v=iINxH8QObDE). |
former president or not, he does need evidence. on that note, i find it interesting that he would make such a claim.

well, I've already shown you that 232 architects and engineers support controlled demolition theory. the number is growing. in fact their goal is to have 1000 members by 9-11-08 to march on Washington.
or you can visit this website. http://www.patriotsquestion911.com
| Quote: |
110+ Senior Military, Intelligence Service, Law Enforcement, and Government Officials
270+ Engineers and Architects
60+ Pilots and Aviation Professionals
170+ Professors Question 9/11
200+ 9/11 Survivors and Family Members
110+ Entertainment and Media Professionals |
follow the links to each individual.

why don't you go to those websites and read their published articles.
then you can come back and tell me what is wrong with their science.
the day will come when controlled demolition theory is published in a mainstream journal. denial can be a long process to overcome.
you might want to check out this online journal that does have peer-review processes.
Journal of 911 Studies
http://www.journalof911studies.com/
Although the above journal is not mainstream, it still follows the same process that guides all scientists doing honest research.
If you disagree with the above statement then make your charge and back it up with examples.

This isn't about hating George Bush.
I would argue credible evidence with you if your knowledge went beyond loose change and screw loose change.
Perhaps it does, so make your charge and lets talk about the evidence.
Until you make your specific charge, I will continue to remind you that a growing number of architects and engineers are calling for a new investigation into controlled demolition theory. |

Some time back, the so called "truthers" were asked to present direct evidence. You know, the type of evidence a self-respecting judge would accept in their courtroom. But alas, they couldn't. All we saw were some photos of arrows and explosions. Then they come up with the names of some obscure engineers and architects who haven't got any connection to the WTC or 9/11. The only thing they've got in common is their hatred for Bush.
Click here to see what the world really thinks of the 'truther' brigade.
Screw Loose Change puts all of there arguments to rest, too. |
direct evidence for what?
that is the question. In fact the OP didn't specify.
I assume he wanted direct evidence that a certain person or persons did it. that does not exist.
however there is PLENTY of evidence showing that a crime occurred.
as pointed out before, one doesn't need direct evidence linking a suspect to a crime to know that a crime occurred.
investigations go like this.
what happened? how did it happen? who did it?
not the other way around.
you posting screw loose change only demonstrates the very little knowledge you have on this subject.
in fact such demonstrates that you belong in the sheep pen with the majority of Americans at the moment.
the science stands up for controlled demolition theory.
if you don't think it does, make a charge and we'll talk about it.
until then get back to your hay. |

i agree.
i haven't read a follow up.
this doesn't get ANY attention from the MSM just like everything else.
ex president of ITALY calls 9-11 an inside job and dubs it a well known fact in the intelligence agencies around the world and no one even bats an eye.
isnt this strangee????? |
what are you implying? If you are implying that the MSM(mainstream media i assume) are ignoring stories that go against the consensus opinion on this, you would like wise need to provide evidence. Why would the media ignore a story that is corroborated with evidence? If it could be proven that the CIA planned 911, it would probably be the biggest story ever. It is extremely improbable that the story wouldn't come out or that the media would ignore it. |

if anyone here is honest in their evaluation of 9-11 then read this (only one example of MANY journal articles)
Revisiting 9/11/2001 --Applying the Scientific Method
Dr. Steven E. Jones
http://www.journalof911studies.com/volume/200704/JonesWTC911SciMethod.pdf
use your brain and make a response to it.
show me where he went wrong in his analysis.
don't be lazy. make a charge against his use of the scientific method.
be men, unlike mr. joo, and attack his argument instead of his character.

yes, and I've shown you that hundreds of scientists support creationism. Also, 17 000 scientists reject the claim of global warming. And I could probably find some who believe the earth is flat too. I've click on some of those names, these are not the experts in the field that I am asking for. I'm guessing we can find scientists in any field that support any conspiracy theory.
And I've visited those websites in the past and viewed the publications. All that I have seen would not cut mustard in an academic environment. I want to see some peer-reviewed and credible research published before I can take anything seriously. An engineering prof from a 4th tier university will have trouble swaying me.
The bottom line is that we are not experts in physics, engineering or architecture. So we must trust those top experts in those fields for explanations. Read some of their answers to these 9/11 conspiracy charges, because they have them.
Once we start to dissect a subject that we know nothing about, the credibility of the debate, on both sides, diminishes. The top experts in the aforementioned fields attest that the building fell as it should, why would I choose to believe someone with less credibility on the subject? |

your argument is meaningless until you attack CDT arguments instead of their characters.
don't you see the fallacy in your argument?
i will take you seriously when you make a charge against their theories, not their positions in society.
until then you are simply percieved as being ignorant, lazy, or uneducated. |

always extremely improbable. A story of this magnitude is gold dust. To suggest that the mainstream media is being intimidated/bought off is just giving more power to the conspirators(an unlikely amount of power). Really you are telling me that President Clinton cannot keep head in the oval office a secret but that this admin can keep the whole of the mainstream media in line. that is plainly ridiculous. The problem with conspiracies such as this is that as they become more grand, more and more power has to be attributed to the conspiracy, whilst we are simutaneously expected to believe that they are stupid enough to leave all these 'clues' and 'evidence'. There is a definite contradiction at the heart of any grand conspiracy. |

so what you are saying is that the media would never keep such a big story a secret from the public?
and this isn't just for 9-11, it is for anything of such magnitude? |

I suppose it would depend on the context. In today's massive media age i suspect it would be nigh on impossible. Have you got an example you would like to share with us? |
