The anniversary of 9/11 is coming up, so I'll be taking this time to present some arguments with links in dispute of the rather flimsily constructed official story.
I know this is going to prompt some people to argue, and as in the past I expect to see many of the same arguments again. So I'm going to take some time to address them in advance before I begin.
First, don't try to use the argument that suggesting 9/11 was somehow planned is disrespectful to friends and family members of the victims. The movement was started by friends and family members of the event who found that their questions weren't being answered, and if not for them we would not have even received a show trial.
If you're interested in learning more about that specifically, there's a documentary about the Jersey widows and their attempts to get a trial, which took more than a year. The movie is called 9/11 Press for Truth and and can be found on google video.
If you are going to accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist, at least know what it means. The words are not inextricably linked, though one would think so. A conspiracy is quite simply a crime committed and kept secret by more than one person. Misleading the American people to think Saddam had WMD's with false evidence was a conspiracy. Secret prisons and torture were a conspiracy. In a very real sense, government itself is a conspiracy.
A theory is defined as, "a testable
model of the manner of interaction of a set of
natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through
experiment or otherwise verified through
empirical observation."
So quite simply, a conspiracy theory is an attempt to use empirical observation to determine whether a crime has been committed by people in positions of power. It is not an argument which in any way disputes the information I will be presenting.
And finally, don't call me a tin foil hat unless you know the origin of the phrase. It was originally a reference to protesters who wore tin foil hats to protest the development of microwave weapons. Which we were developing, and have since released such as in the case of the heat ray developed by the pentagon, seen here

So unless your argument is that I'm either a) right or b) prescient, calling me a tin foil hat doesn't prove anything for your case.
If you do have an argument, which I would be more than happy to address as I am familiar with the NIST, Commission report, and the Popular Mechanics articles on the subject, keep in mind that these 3 reports are in conflict with each other, and each offers a different explanation for events. It goes to follow therefore that if one theory is legitimate, the other two must be false.
Finally, I'm not trying to tell anyone what or how to think, I'm simply trying to tell people TO think. Don't take my word for anything, just take the time to look into it for yourself.
