The Day Before 9-11

[Berzerker]

so I'm watching Natl Geo docus on Iran, Al Qaeda and the US in the Middle East and Putin is on tape telling Bush on the phone that Al Qaeda has something big going down - the day before 9-11. The day before that Al Qaeda assassinated Massoud, the general of the Northern Alliance.

Was anything done? Were we totally asleep? Jesus

[Wiglaf]

I never knew Putin did 9/11. Thanks for sharing. That man may be out of office, but he'll return someday. And I will be waiting

[SlowwHand]

"Something big going down" is a little ambiguous, for one. For another, it was ambiguity by Putin. What exactly do you think should have happened? Beef up security...where?

[Wiglaf]

I don't like men but you turn me on when you talk like that

[SlowwHand]

Was it the reference to beef?

[HalfLotus]

No need to fret over circumstantial oddities when it easily provable that buildings cannot collapse symmetrically and at free-fall speed due to fire or airplane impact.

[SlowwHand]

Oh, hell. A conspiracy theorist.

[HalfLotus]

It's interesting that there are many thousands of conspiracy convictions every year, for all types of crimes, and the word is also used to describe activities which people believe never occur.

[Zevico]

Conspiracies happen. "Conspiracies" involving hundreds of thousands of people, unknown, presumably all members of the government and also many outside it, are quite simply products of a deluded mind incapable of dealing with the truth.

Which conspiracy is that?

Just ballparking, 9/11 might have taken a few hundred or so, maybe more maybe less, hard to say.

Couple dozen to fit the towers with demolition explosives. The WTC complex was shut down - electricity, security systems, etc - a few weekends prior to 9//11.

A few to fiddle at the FAA. Dick Cheney was running NORAD, maybe a few generals were in on it. Obviously Bush and most likely high ranking staffers.

Probably quite a few involved in the media psyops operation. oBviously CIA had a lot to do with the prepping of Al-Quaeda as the "boogy man" for some years.

High-jacking teams on the airplanes, or perhaps they were remotely controlled.

Everyone else's beliefs, including nearly everyone in the government, are based on misinfo propagated in mass media. Media reports went from "Sure looked like a demolition." in the early hours, to "AL QUAEDA, AL QUAEDA, AL QUAEDA" once the media began to regurgitate the gov't line.

[Flatlander Fox]

I guess the media must have missed the two airliners crashing into the buildings while they were repeating the demolition line?

[HalfLotus]

The collapses looked identical to a controlled demolition, and some journalists noted that.

The WTC towers were designed to withstand airplane impact, and some journalists noted that also.

[Zevico]

Right. Why did I start this up again? I regret everything. Just pretend my posts aren't there.

[DinoDoc]

I blame Berzerker for this.

[HalfLotus]

How do you come up with hundreds of thousands from 3 towers collapsing and a few aircraft gone awry?
