9/11 inquiry skipped key forensic tests

Paul Conant | 05.12.2008 19:55 | Analysis | Repression | Terror War

U.S. government scientists ruled out controlled demolitions in the collapses of three World Trade Center buildings but declined to test debris for traces of explosives or incendiaries, records show.

Nor did the inquiry, done by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, refer to any forensics reports by crime scene investigators, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which sent a bomb squad to the site.

Oh dear oh dear. Its seems that the 9/11 truthers have run out of ideas. So now they are just being recycled and repeated.

Do we really look that gullible??

Do you lot really think that we have nothing better to do with our time than consider a totally discredited conspiracy theory???

Tired of this

Isn't it about time the truth movement hung up its tin foil hat?

Game Over

Let me put it like this:

If I had a sledgehammer driven into my skull, I doubt investigators would be checking for gunpowder just to be sure.

The buildings had planes flown into them. Do you think that maybe, just maybe, that could have something to do with their collapse?

Hold on! Maybe they have a point..

All the truth action mantra screaming has changed my mind. I now see the light thanks to their chalk scribbles on the pavement, thanks to their requests to be arrested (they did ask the officer ever so nicely) and thanks to their footie match invasions.

Made a real difference to me, opened my eyes to the truth and I have bought the entire Alex Jones DVD collection. Cheers!

Next time boys, stay up that crane.

Game Over


Ridicule is Disinformation

Ever notice how the Plant(s) don't actually ever SAY anything?

That's one of the most damning condemnations of the Conspiracy Theory told to us by pathological LIARS and War Criminals; They can attack those asking questions, but they haven't, in seven full years, been able to asnwer one of them.

911=PNAC, CIA, Mossad


Yawn

Are you "just asking questions" or are you making unfounded accusations based on little evidence?

You're half right, they ARE war criminals and liars but your obsession with a single day in history has blinded you from seeing the bigger picture, whats more is that your attempts to divert attention from these serious concerns are only playing directly into the hands of these war criminals.

Keep everyone focused on 911 THEORIES and not on the real evidence that could prosecute the bastards for crimes against humanity. Clever bunch aren't you.

The truth movement has empowered the Bush Admin and Labour, obscured the facts and has prevented any kind of unified action against these criminals.

But judging the amount of involvement MI5 has with truther groups I dare say the "movement" was designed and engineered to perform this task.

Bravo.

Next they will target the traditional anti war movement, mark my words.

Game Over


"No planes"....No proof. No truth.

You've got it all wrong, anonymous. There weren't any planes flown into those towers. They were just holograms, see. Oh yes, this has been "proved". If you don't accept this "truth", you are obviously a state plant.

Game over is right. These fantasists are certainly useful idiots -but certainly not useful to us. They apparently have not the slightest clue what the words "evidence" and "proof" mean. I certainly wouldn't want any of them on a jury if my freedom was at stake. I'd be going down for sure.

What they've done is to hopelessly muddy the waters and bugger up any sensible investigation of the one genuinely suspicious aspect of the crime. Did elements of the US state obtain foreknowledge, or at least suspicion, of what was planned and choose to exploit it rather than prevent it?

Nothing of the sort is proved, of course and neither is there anything substantial which would amount to evidence of it. There are some inconclusive and circumstantial facts which may (or may not) point in that direction BUT THAT'S ALL. We'll probably never know, but this is the only remotely sustainable or credible doubt raised. The doubt is diminished in most people's eyes, of course, once it is trumpeted as "fact" by variegated by loony tunes who tack on further layers of fantasy, shading into masonic / zionist conspiracies and holocaust denial.

The one question 9/11 "truthers" can never answer, or apparently even understand, is what does it matter anyway? Why are they so anxious to finger one particular gang of murderous bastards for this crime rather than one of the others? What's the essential difference? Only a dyed-in-the-wool statist could discern one. The essential fact is that we're trying to confront and solve the huge problems imposed on humanity and the planet by a corrupt and dysfunctional system of social relations NOT a conspiracy or an aggregation of conspiracies.

And another thought...what is alleged is not just a plain old conspiracy, but a conspiracy involving the use of various complex technologies which would have to be co-ordinated and very precisely timed. What are the statistical chances of such a plot succeeding, especially without development stages and numerous dry runs in advance? Very small indeed, I'd say; probably less than 10%. And the ultimate godfather of this great gamble, this triumph against almost overwhelming odds through supreme efficiency and astonishing technical competence is who? Rumsfeldt? Bush? Cheney? the CIA?

Do give it a rest and try to find summat useful to do with your lives!
