Haven't been around in a while...
I have said it before and will again - people who believe the NIST report (based on models not available to the public), popular mechanics, and the commission report (6 of 10 commissioners said the report was hamstrung by the admin), are as much conspiracy theorists as anyone else with alternate theories. You are not any more an expert on those topics than the people with opposing theories. So you are doing the same thing as the ct's....'believing' based on faith in your source. Personally, I've been down this road enough times to know that 9/11 agnosticism is the only way to go. You are foolish if you BELIEVE much of anything about that day.

I wanted to link to an older thread because no one has brought up the video that I posted in it. It is the most comprehensive vid out there - 5 hours, questioning the NIST report, popular mechanics, and the commission report.
It covers virtually EVERYTHING mentioned in this thread. No one would bother watching it when I posted it last time, and I'm sure no one will now...but it's worth a shot.
Since this will earn the inevitable tin foil comment (thanks Gern for not letting us down in this thread), I'll throw out the statement I made at the end of the thread here:

'One thing you guys should remember….even the most out-there, looney tune 9/11 truther’s heart is in the right place. They feel most of the same emotions you do about that day (...), only they feel no one has been brought to justice.
All I believe enough to say unequivocally is that there are enough holes in the above mentioned reports to justify a REAL investigation. Independent. Peer reviewed science. Subpoenas. Grand juries. Adequate funding. If you guys don’t think so, fine. I won’t insult you or group you in with ‘the sheeple’ or any other group of idiots.'

I love the logic. Pentagon pilot was a shitty pilot. How could he crash into the Pentagon?

Dude didn't have to take off or land. All he had to do was crash.

Also...it discusses his bizarre flight pattern on the way to the pentagon...at the same time it suggests he was a shitty pilot.

Hence the shitty flight pattern.

I’m curious how you keep such an open mind about 9/11 but feel that all US/NATO accusations levelled against Putin in Syria and Ukraine are on the up-n-up....not the place to get into that...but I wish you were around in the other thread I linked to lol

I'll give it a whirl as well but I find it interesting that by looking at the timeline you provided, everything seems to be explained, or pointed out as to why there should be questions, in 2 to 3 minutes. We're talking some highly complex, in some instances, issues and yet they can have holes poked in them or questions raised in a mere matter of minutes? I'm already a skeptic. Further, a highly complex "whatever you want to call it" (conspiracy, truth, event, happening, conjurring, nightmare, vision, hallucination, whatever) has only left the "whatever you want to call them" (truthers, questioners, seekers of truth, justice seekers, etc) with only 50 questions that "should make you doubt the official narrative?"

Maybe they thought they were going to lose ppl’s attention if they crossed the six hour mark? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Haha...I dunno man. If memory serves, they aren’t trying to answer every question...just remind people that they are not adequately answered in the three reports. Really, it doesn’t take much time (in video) to debunk a single point. de-debunk? There are 2500 words in a typical 5 minute speech. That’s five pages of text, single spaced. With visual aids, you can pack a lot of info in a short vid. This vid was a huge undertaking as it stands. I don’t think it’s at all fair to infer that the filmmakers were lazy and/or lacking info....
And I never discourage skepticism, it’s my lifeblood

Drowned Out · October 2018

I don’t recall much about motive or consequence...don’t think they touch on it. That could probably fill another 5 hour vid

Gern Blansten · October 2018

Doubting that a plane hit the pentagon is the same as doubting that one hit each of the twin towers. It was all part of the same attack.

drakeheuer14 · October 2018

Probably decided at a Bohemian Grove meeting

Operation Northwoods made it to the desk of the President for final approval...

And I'm the fool for asking questions? Lol, yeah ok

Believing the 3 reports contained the whole truth is the same as believing in Colin Powell’s yellow cake. We can do this all day.

Incorrect....Powell has since stated that his original speech was wrong.

Not comparable

Drowned Out · October 2018

I guess we will have to wait for an admission that the reports are bullshit for you to believe that there are serious holes in them.

oh wait...as mentioned, six of ten commissioners said their report was stonewalled. Knowing this, how can you not have serious doubts about the official story, and mock people that do?
