The company that owns the World Trade Center keeps calling the news stations, trying to explain, but when they do they're dismissed and told it is a terrible, cruel thing to mock the people who lost loved ones. Then the company tries to explain that those people aren't dead, they're all still at the WTC, living on hot dogs and brats and stuff from push cart vendors, their friends don't see them, their families think they're dead, and that's when the news people hang up.
That's easily as plausible as saying that the attacks were staged by government agents who have kept their silence meticulously for almost eight full years. I laugh, Unterzagersdorf. And by the way, you're the one making the extraordinary claim, the burden of proof is on you. Your evidence must be better than that presented to debunk it and you need to have it accepted by credible sources, as, for instance, the NY Times, the Washington Post, Fox News, MSNBC, you know, those sorts of people.
No, it was a very realistic NORAD exercise. The towers are gone all right.
See, the air defense people kept fucking up the simulations during the exercise: failing to intercept the planes at the right time, or blowing them up with Sidewinders and killing all of the passengers within, or something. The general who was running the exercises finally went on down to the simulation rooms to complain: why were the results so bad? We have the best military in the world, dammit. And the colonel who was keeping an eye on the pilots said, it's not our fault, the men know it's a simulation, if there were a real event it'd be a lot easier for them to prevent it because it'd be a real threat. So the general said, all right, I'll send a few spec-ops to hijack some planes and fly them into buildings in new york and washington on tuesday, we'll see how well the boys hold up in a real emergency....
Needless to say, heads rolled at NORAD afterwards. It was officially blamed on terrorists, of course, because it just wouldn't look right for people to learn that the agency trusted with defending America's airspace had messed up.
Hmm ... yes, yes I see what you're saying. And I live in Colorado, there were reports of strange convoys going in and out of Cheyenne Mountain right after 9/11. I'm told by several people I met on-line that there were houses in Colorado Springs suddenly for sale. "Transferred somewhere," was all the explanation anyone could ever get.
Just kidding, by the way.
Hitler caused both world wars don't you know?
