You said planes don't start fires.
Then you said that the planes that crashed into the towers started a fire hot enough to melt steel.
So which is it, do they start fires or do they not start fires.
What he was saying is that the planes that crashed into the towers started a fire so then why didn't the supposed flight 93 not start a fire and thats not the point of the video so just finish watching it and then deny it.

Actually it is believed that Hitler had the building set on fire so that he could assume absolute power. And yeah I think of stuff to say like this so I can get attention cause I wasn't loved as a child. Ok Dr. Phil. And if Alex Jones is such a nut then why does the Goverment fear him so much. Why do they attack him and call him a nut. Its because he's a threat.

There is footage, it was taken by a C-130 transport plane, and there is mention of it in the 9/11 Commission Report. The video, with enhanced detail so that you can see that it is in fact an airliner, is here.

If you really believe in a 9/11 conspiracy involving the attacks themselves, well, I can't say much other than you're a damn fool.

If you want to believe there's a conspiracy behind consistent failures to prevent terror attacks, well, I believe you there. Either American law enforcement is full of fucking idiots or someone doesn't want to prevent terrorism.

um, not real, or they would have shown the exploshion, you just got tricked! :p

Except that is incorrect Hitler didn't set it where that claim comes from is because Goering made an off color joke one time to an associate about burning down the Reichstag which would have been impossible since Goering was nowhere near Berlin at the time. Thus History fail even then the Dutchmen caught in the act admitted to setting the fire in protest to the NSDAP gaining power within the Weimer Republic. The government doesn't give two shits about Alex Jones this is the bizarre batshit behavior that I hate. If Fatty Ass Jones was a real threat to the government he would be floating in the Hudson as would the rest of the 9/11 Nutters.

Of course they have something to gain! If they are the ones who exposes the gov. who gets the credit? Think of that, also think of the fact that the conspiracy theorists have little evidence to suggest that it was a conspiracy, some weren't even old enogh to understand what actually happened.

People generally don't believe that the security of their government would fail in such an epic manner. They'll look for scapegoats, and conspiracy where there is none.

And honestly, those wiretaps were approved under the Carter administration under FISA in 1978. The legal argument was whether or not the justice department/homeland security is able to bypass FISA to conduct intelligence gathering. FISA allows wire tapping requires a warrant to be issued within 5 days after surveillance has begun. It's that bypassing the legal obligation which is in constitutional question, not the fact that the law has been in place for 30 years.

Barringtonia wrote:The only theory I'd accept is that after the '93 bombings, realising that a collapse of the towers could have greater consequences than just the towers themselves, as in falling sideways, that they placed controlled explosions in event of serious likelihood of collapse, to ensure damage was minimised to the towers only.

Alas, this annoys conspiracy theorists because they want to believe the government works for evil MUAH-HA-HA purposes only and this both accepts that the planes were nothing to do with the government, nor was the event of the collapse itself, but purely a measure to protect citizens.

It hurts them, so while I don't believe it, whenever I find myself in one of these useless conversations I bring it up because it's a bit more logical than anything they care to propose.

No, the buildings were designed to collapse straight down.

Exactly where is the plane thats the whole point of the arguement. No plane where they said there was a plane crash. So maybe it was a frikin missle but not a plane. There was no plane in that crash sight there is no arguing that am I correct. There was a trench there clear back in 1994 all they added was the crator.

Where are all the people, did the government give them money and ask them to keep quiet?

Because a hunk of aluminum flying at 500 mile an hour would've just bounced off that top soil and shattered all over the place, amirite? Maybe the plane bits are underground?
