I remember an episode of some reality TV show I ran across a few months back... one of those featuring washed-up celebrities making an ass of themselves (without realizing it of course) one last time. And on this particular episode, Vanilla Ice spouted off some ridiculous rhetoric about how all of modern technology has been given to mankind by a "super alien race" that spawned and maintains life on this planet and secretly controls the government officials of highly industrialized nations. He argued the concept vehemently and sincerely believed every word of it.

I don't come on here very often, usually stick to the Porch and then get my political mouth fed elsewhere. But I do visit here on occasion, and when I do, I expect to find meaningful, intelligent debate. Now maybe I haven't searched diligently enough this afternoon, but all I've found are these incompetent, asinine, high-school level conspiracy bullshit posts that, I would guess, wouldn't even impress Vanilla Ice. And they're not even intelligently presented, I might add.

I realize that, having not started any meaningful threads myself, my accusations may seem a bit hypocritical... but, really, what's the point? Where have all the insightful, educated people gone? Are their posts just dominated by these poser-intellectuals?

I'll check back some other time... maybe next time I'm in the mood for "The X-Files" but can't find it on TV.

Sounds like smeone needs to go back to debate the issues of which hair style Eddie looks hottest in or why Pearl Jam will not play in the Southern states.

Nevermind

This thread got hijacked and taken way off topic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD5WlQ54Sg0

And the Pentagon was hit just minutes after the towers were hit, so the term "after such a major attack on the country" carries little weight./quote]

So now a full hour is "just minutes", huh?

Please.

First tower was around 8:45
Second tower around 9:03

Pentagon?
9:45 ish.

Feel free to correct me.

How come i can remember multiple instances of little cesnas being ordered away from DC airspace at the immenent threat of shootdown during my 10 years living outside of DC, if they are so bad at identifying incoming threats.

And, fighter jets scrambled or not ...
you still fail to address the major falacy, which is that NORAD is alleged to not have the ability to track a transponderless aircraft, and that it failed to do so on 911 with a craft barreling dowards Federal Airspace.

Listen up now.
THE major concern for NORAD during any "invasion" would be to identify, track, and kill VERY QUICKLY any incoming radar blip NOT identified as a US commercial flight with a transponder on and flying in its assigned path ... especialy one headed towards the capitol!

THAT IS THEIR MISSION!

You think that NORAD doesn't have the technology to cross reference "regular radar" with transponder signals, and filter out all blips that have both to focus on the blips that do NOT have a transponder?

THAT WOULD BE THEIR PRIMARY CONCERN IN AN ATTACK!

So you're saying no one was smart enough to build a simple fucking program that could identify blips that didn't have a transponder signal?

YEAH FUCKING RIGHT!

And again, we are talking about WASHINGTON GODDAMN DC.

I'm sure we could go at this all year,
but i will never believe that our defense department, with all of its goddamn tax dollars couldn't figure out a way to track transponder-less planes ... again, their sole concern in any normal attack on our country.
