Why the Sneering?
[Read the article: How photos support your own "reality"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why is it that many people feel that they can sneer and denigrate those who, for very good reasons, don't believe the official conspiracy theory?
There are a lot of problems with the official narrative. Some of you just want to write it all off with a breezy, "it was incompetence". If that is your explanation, then there is a LOT of incompetence in America.
Farhad chose the weakest link to attack, letsroll911 is a pathetic site. The truth community has a lot of people in it, just like in the "denier" community. Some truthers are barking mad, some are just plain stupid, but there are many people who are quite sane, highly intelligent and educated. It used to be said that there are no pilots, engineers or scientists who have a problem with the official lie. Now there are many.
And the pictures are valuable Farhad, as are the videos, and there are "facts" embedded therein. For instance by watching the videos it is possible to ascertain that 1, 2, and 7 went down at freefall speeds, impossible if there was not a controlled demolition. And from the pictures we can see that a 757 made a small hole in the pentagon and that the wings, and tail, which should have been sheered off and left on the lawn, don't exist. The pictures also show us 12 foot wide hole in the ground in Pennsylvania into which another plane simply disappeared.
So spare me the vituperation and stick to logical arguments.
For me, I would just like to know where the interceptors were that day? And a few other questions, but I will leave that for later.
"Why did four hijacked airliners fly around for up to an hour and 45 minutes without being intercepted? Why were normal procedures not followed? (If normal procedures HAD been followed, the aircraft would have been intercepted with 20 minutes to spare, the twin towers would still be standing, and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive.)
If it was massive incompetence, why has no one been fired? … or demoted? … or court martialed? (Instead they were promoted or given the medal of freedom!)"

Or as some would say, just another tinfoil hat wearing nut job. Or maybe he is just stupid.

Nitwits and Crimethink
[Read the article: How photos support your own "reality"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Maybe the questions on your list don't get asked because people like you call people names when they do? Nitwits? By what measure? Yours?
You can't even get your facts straight, there were no "people standing on buildings" cheering, they were Israelis' and and they were on top of a van. They worked for a company called Urban Moving, and after their agents were arrested, the entire operation closed up and moved, leaving cell phones and laptops behind. The "movers" themselves some of whom we now know, were in fact Mossad agents, were released, and we were told, "Nothing to see here, move along please."
If you ask about them, you are an "anti-semite". If you point to the videos and the pictures, people like Farhad do this post-modern deconstructionist bullshit. And if you ask too many questions you support the terrorists. The system works.
You have your questions and I have mine. And if you had spent any time researching this issue (as you obviously have not) your questions about the Israelis have been asked in dozens of books, web sites, youtube videos, seminars, and in the press and on TV.
The problem is people who know nothing about the issues, and who smugly, smugly, believe they "know the truth" will smack any question down, every time, by spouting exactly the same kind of insults as you just did.
Oh, and when you say "outrageous theories" you are quoting Bush. Good job! Good German!
"We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th, malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists themselves, away from the guilty."
G.W. Bush speaking before the UN General Assembly 11/10/2001
Maybe you should ask those "tough hard questions" yourself a little more often.

100 more topics for Farhad
[Read the article: How photos support your own "reality"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Now that Farhad has positively absolutely solved the 911 problem by his brilliant and scathing analysis of the weakest conspiracy theory in the book, and his amazing insights on cognition, perhaps he could talk about the 100 videos from the Pentagon surveillance cameras that all clearly show a plane crashing into the building. As a bonus he could talk about the gas station video and the one from the hotel that the FBI confiscated.
Oh wait. We can't see those. It's a secret. National Security!!!!
"I've filmed there before down at the Pentagon-- before 9/11-- there's got to be at least 100 cameras, ringing that building, in the trees, everywhere. They've got that plane coming in with 100 angles. How come with haven't seen the straight-- I'm not talking about stop-action photos, I'm talking about the video. I want to see the video; I want to see 100 videos that exist of this,"
Michael Moore
Tell me I did not see what I saw. Then tell me I don't know what I know.
