What are the TM's most absurd accusations of conspiracy and/or coverup?

[CHF]

Off hand I can think of a few, including....

- DR Griffin claiming that Ted Olson is lying about his wife's phone call from Flight 77.

- Jason Burmass claiming the firefighters were "paid off" (similar accusations have been made in numerous WTC7 debates even though twoofers desperately try to avoid saying so).

- McPadden claiming that a Red Cross worker was listening to the WTC7 "countdown."

- Some moron at Ground Zero telling me that every expert in the world is covering up 9/11.

[uk_dave]

What are the TM's most absurd accusations of conspiracy and/or coverup?

All of them

[MikeW]

The idea that the BBC would have needed a "script" to report the collapse of WTC7, even though their reporter was standing in front of it.

[applecorped]

are space based EWP's and Mininukes also TM claims?

[twinstead]

are space based EWP's and Mininukes also TM claims?

Oh yes. The OP doesn't even brush the surface of the REALLY crazy claims. One thing that they have, though, is at least they have the guts to come out with a theory, even if it is ludicrous.

[ElMondoHummus]

are space based EWP's and Mininukes also TM claims?

Yes, unfortunately. Dr. Judy Wood is famous for proposing the idea of space based "beam weapon" (Link (http://www.911blogger.com/node/4449)).

And this Rense.com article: http://www.rense.com/general76/wtc.htm

... tries to make the case that elevated Tritium was the smoking gun proving nuclear weaponry use in the case of the WTC. There's been discussion (and much derision) of that exact hypothesis in this very forum; you can use the search function up above and look for the terms "WTC" and "nuke" to get a list of threads.

Oh yes. The OP doesn't even brush the surface of the REALLY crazy claims.

I beliberately ignored stuff like space means, no-planes-hit-the-WTC and mimi-nukes because (in fairness to the TM) they do represent a fringe group of twoofers - even though folks like Judy Wood, Killtown and Morgan Reynolds were at one time admired by the rank-and-file.

in another thread you mentioned indira singh, she says the FDNY brought down WTC7 (or at the very least they knew about it and are now apparently keeping quiet) how do you reconcile this?

[CHF]

Griffin accused Olson of lying about his wife's phone call because, as any Griffin fan knows, those phone calls were impossible.

In Sept of 06' and then again last August.

Hey, I actually agree with you on this! :wink:

Does this mean you'll be the first twoofer to reconcile WTC7's "demolition" with the fact that many FDNY knew WTC7 would collapse from structural damage?

I think the theory of someone placing explosives in a building that is going to fall anyways is about as absurd as it gets.

[aggle-rithm]

I think the theory of someone placing explosives in a building that is going to fall anyways is about as absurd as it gets.

Or the idea of Larry Silverstein secretly destroying his own heavily-damaged building, costing himself years of lost lease revenue, so he could collect an insurance settlement that didn't come close to covering his financial losses.

[eromitlab]

I especially like the idea that 7 was "pulled" to destroy documents related to SEC investigations. Hey, whenever I want to get rid of my old financial statements and documents, I just put shaped therm*te charges on the columns of my home and knock it down. It makes perfect sense.

Exactly. I guess the eveil perps behind the diabolical caper must have been saing "bwahahaha. But the building will only come down in 30 seconds (or whatever the unrealistic absurd timing recommended by the twoofers is), we need it down in 10 seconds! We'll have to blow out every other floor to make it happen or else we won't get the dramatic ending for the movie."

And of course there is Jones remark of "well they just need a little bit just to make it fall:", to which the the response is "yes but you claimed it fell free fall which would mean you have to take out pretty much every other floor and the whole small amount of explosives defeats the whole argument of the collapse time".

How some of these guys get to teach is beyond me.

After a quick Google it seems Killtown had a heavy hand (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%22bernard+brown%22+Killtown&btnG=Search&meta=) in spreading this vile myth and i also found Dylan Avery perpetuating it

HERE (http://911underground.com/WING_TV_2004-11-01_Dylan_Avery_Interview.MP3)

(MP3 <3mb Dylan Avery interview Wing TV 01/11/2004)

I wonder if Avery still stands by his words (at about 18 mins)

...........Me and Phil were actually considering tracking him down and getting him [Bernard Brown Snr] on the phone just to talk to him about 9-11 and see if anything slips, but I think he was either deeply involved with it and talking to him on the phone about it might not be such a hot idea, or well i really I think, talking to him about sending his son to die might be a bad idea [laughs]..............

[Reheat]

It's very difficult to choose the most absurd as 99.9% of them are absurd, but the Bernard Brown accusation has to be the most low down, meanest, and dirtiest one of the bunch.

Oh, the logic! It makes my head hurt.

Any accusation at all toward the Military defies comprehension. For the NORAD Stand Down to be true, everyone from the lowest ranking Airman to the most senior Officer involved would have to be "in on it". It goes on and on and on.

[Horatius]

I'd say the most absurd "in on it" accusation would be Lloyd England. Yep, the one guy we rely on to establish the cover-up of the fake plane crash at the Pentagon is an elderly cab driver who has trouble even describing what happened to him!

Terral's claim (at LCF) that the firefighters at the Pentagon were somehow complicit in a coverup. Especially as he was arguing with an actual firefighter (YCHTT) and trying to tell him how they should have been fighting the fire.

[Brainache]

i think the OP is referring more to accusations of whos "in on it" not just absurd theories (we have plenty of threads for those)

OK. In that case I think Killtown's "faces in the smoke" nonsense may still qualify because, when asked who put them there (IIRC), he seemed to suggest that it was the same Disney animators who added the fake planes to all the news footage.

I think accusing the PIXAR people is pretty absurd.

[ElMondoHummus]

Terral's claim (at LCF) that the firefighters at the Pentagon were somehow complicit in a coverup. Especially as he was arguing with an actual firefighter (YCHTT) and trying to tell him how they should have been fighting the fire.

Oh, Gawd, I remember that one. How do you:

"Explain" (yes, scare quotes) aspects of firefighting to a firefighter in the LCF forum
Continue to do so after said firefighter comes here and calls him on it, then
Continue further to insist that his interpretation is correct over the firefighter's explanations and corrections, and continue to act as though everyone else is just buying into the "Bushie" conspiracy?It's one thing to merely be absolutely, stubbornly wrong, but it's a whole other level to continue pushing the wrong directly at a practicing professional who knows the truth! I'd be more qualified to speak to a surgeon about surgery than Terral was with YCHTT about firefighting, and I've never been to medical school!

There are times I believe some of the truthers posting here don't really believe what they're saying. I mean, being that diametrically opposed to reality suggests dysfunction, and obviously these folks are somehow getting by in the world. So when someone like Terral shows up and pushes such clichéd stuff, I wonder if they're not simply trying to push buttons. Like going to a Jewish forum and pushing the Holocaust as a good thing, something stupid like that.

[Brainster]

Richard Andrew Grove is a virtual cornucopia of nuttery. He claimed that in one scene in the movie The Patriot, Mel Gibson was making a rocking chair; when it was complete he put it on a scale and pronounced that it was exactly 9 pounds, eleven ounces in weight. Why anybody would weigh a piece of furniture in the 1770s was never explained, and as to why the NWO bosses felt it necessary to include that 9-11 reference was similarly not discussed.

He also claimed that he was supposed to be in a meeting to confront some executive about a bit of software fraud on the 95th floor of the North Tower, but he ran late. Everybody who was at the meeting perished, except... dun dun dun! the executive who was supposed to be there.

The really odd thing about that is that Grove is the second person to claim he was supposed to be in one of the towers to discuss suspicious doings regarding software but he was running late; Indira Singh (another trip and a half) also said she was going to be doing the same thing regarding P-Tech (don't ask), but she was running late.

[gc051360]

Not the craziest. Not the dumbest. But the one that I would count as the most absurd, is the Larry Silverstein "pull it" claim.

Space beams, and all of that stuff....aren't really popular claims in the truth movement. Though, they are extremely absurd.

But, the most common claim seems to be the controlled demolition, with heavy focus on building 7. Larry Silverstein's quote, is usually used as a piece of evidence. I find this to be the most absurd, because:

1) It assumes the controlled demolition theory.

2) It assumes Larry Silverstein would have the power to "make the call" on an apparent whim

3) It assumes that after making this call, he would admit it, in vague language, in an interview.

4) It is very popular. Most truthers refer to this, quite a bit.

For my money. This is the most absurd of all the claims, because of how much it ignores obvious facts. You do not need to know much about 9-11, or engineering to look at this piece of evidence, and conclude it's bs. eta: Which is what makes it's use so shocking.

[uk_dave]

The life cycle of the lesser spotted 'truther'......

Yes I believe everything anyone who supports the 9-11 ct says and I do not need to investigate the backgrounds of these people or ask them any awkward questions about possible flaws in their recollections/assumptions/technical expertise, unless my fellow 'truthers' tell me to, in which case I shall cry 'disinfo' and 'cointelpro' and disown the ct advocates who fly counter to the majority ct belief, unless my own beliefs are shown to be provably wrong in which case I will adopt as unassailable the beliefs of those previously called 'non people' by the 'truth' movement and I shall cry 'disinfo' and 'cointelpro' against my former comrades, until a debunker proves my new theories to be incorrect and I can no longer make anyone believe a thing I say and I shall ignore everyone and pout until my mistakes are forgotten at which point I will re-enter the fray with the same questions and unreliable sources I started out with.

[Dave Rogers]

Actually, Jim Hoffman's Scenario 404 has a real howler. He claims that the demolition charges in WTC1 and WTC2 could have been placed by three people in one month. If you then work out, from his assumptions about the total weight of explosives and the weight of charges required, how many charges they had to place, it comes out that if they worked evenings and weekends for a month they would have had to place one charge every ten seconds.

Sorry, I don't think the OP was looking for any made up lies, so that one really shouldn't count.

The power down was 36 hours, and nobody of any consequence claimed that it was used to plant bombs. It was merely an unprecedented event that occurred several days before 9/11. You don't need to be an expert problem solver to realize that there just might be a connection, and at the very least, it's worth investigating.

The details were forwarded (repeatedly) to the Port Authority, the 9/11 Commission, and eventually shared publicly.

Only if you continue to assume that the regulars over at the LC forum represent the average "truther" (with a very low standard deviation).

In reality, 99.9% of the name-calling I see is being done by debunkers on this forum. For example, feel free to look through any of my previous posts -- I doubt you'll be able to find more than one or two instances (if any) where I express any hostility whatsoever. The same can be said for almost every other "9/11 truth seeker" I've seen post at JREF.

12 hours, 36 hours.... Still not enough time to plant explosives in one of the buildings, let alone all 3. Many in the truth movement HAVE brought this up when asked how and when the buildings were rigged, so yes... it is connected to the demolition conspiracy theory. It's not our fault not a one of them thought it through.

And you're on something if you think building power-downs are "unprecedented events".

[sts60]

Most absurd, in no particular order:
1. BBC being pre-informed of WTC7 collapse having happened.
2. Broadcast of WTC 7 countdown.
3. Two separate attacks on Pentagon, five minutes apart, with flyover of jetliner in broad daylight (this beats out the garden-variety nuttiness of drone/missile + airliner flyover in broad daylight claim).

Most offensive:
1. The "went golfing" claim.
2. That firefighters in NYC or at Pentagon were in on it. I have a personal stake in this one, knowing some of the guys who responded to the Pentagon that day.
2a. The slimy way of insinuating that FDNY was in on WTC 7 by the JAQing "but how many were told of the collapse hazard?" routine. That's even more contemptible than the accusation itself in its mealy-mouthed disingenuity. You know what I'm talking about.

To be fair, here are the CT scenarios that I find conceivable, though I do not actually believe these happened given the absence of any evidence for them:
1. Secondary bombs set off in WTC 1 and/or 2. Either man-portable antipersonnel devices or vehicle bombs.
2. Flight 93 being shot down by a SAM. Note that this would not contradict the heroic actions of the passengers who fought back against the hijackers. In fact, it's not really a CT at all; if it had been done, say from the Camp David area, not talking about it would simply be an operational security measure.

[Zorglub]

Without a doubt the claim that someone planted bombs in the Pentagon and set them of a millisecond before the plane hit the building. Can´t remember who that was who made that claim though.

[SkepticGuy]

I'm going to suggest not so much a singular claim, but a endemic tactic that has become the norm within all groups appending "truth" to their name.

It's the perpetual game of One-Upmanship that has become "the truth movement."

Personally, I’ve always thought that the most laughable claim is the one which states that Flight 77’s flight data recorder disproves the only event that could account for its very existence. It represents one of the few assertions which – as well as being as absurd as all of the others – is actually mathematically impossible.

Didn't the first Loose Change movie claim that one or more of the planes had been spotted in an airport after 9/11. That was certainly one of the more absurd claims.
