People are already running a mile away from these nuts. There is so many debunking sites nowadays that not only give you the correct information, but also show how the 9/11 deniers get their information (e.g. quote mining, cropping photos, or simply lying). When you say you tell the truth and find out that you have been manipulating "evidence" to get things your way, you tend to be viewed as very untrustworthy. Examples in Loose Change is Marcel Bernard, not showing the generator damage at the Pentagon, or quote mining the NYFD. Oh, and I guess having them on video/audio laughing at the victims or saying the NYFD are paid off doesn't really help them.
Going a bit off-topic, but I would suggest that when the 9/11 6th anniversary comes, we should start pimping the 9/11 Deniers Speak - Ground Zero edition, just to show the people out there how these folks "pay their respects" to the family members and the heroes of that day.

True enough. The core will still be doing this in twenty years' time. But it seems that general participation is waning, and boredom is setting in. On top of that, if they carry on like they are doing, banning all dissenters in public, then they will fail to win any new recruits to the cause. When LC was new and exciting, and before the camps had fissured into planers, no-planers, space beamers etc. etc. there was much to entice passers by; these days, they are doing all they can to drive curious onlookers away, screaming.
They are set up to fail.

uhm, lets see what the definition of Ad Hominem attack is
Ad Hominem attack consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim.
I think it is quite accurate, but I didn't make claim as to whether or not it is accurate, I asked a question, do they belong in debates. What is funny, instead of answering the simple question, you have tried to attack me.

Exactly! I've been saying this for months now, and I'm glad someone else brought it up.
A truther would call this an ad hominem:
Alex Jones isn't a very respectable person in my opinion.
However, they fail to see that (although that may be considered a personal attack), it is not an ad hominem until it is more along the lines of:
In my opinion, Alex Jones isn't a very respectable person, therefore what he is saying must be false.
Dave Rogers
8th August 2007, 08:41 AM
so now you have turned the question around and attempted to attack me for asking it? All I did was ask a question. for which you did not answer
But that question wasn't relevant to the situation under discussion - demonstrating incompatibility between the statements of a debator concerning the subject under debate has nothing to do with the ad hominem fallacy. No, ad hominem is not a respectable debating technique, but there's a difference between saying "You can't trust my opponent's statements about 9/11 because he can be shown to have repeatedly lied about his previous statements on 9/11" and saying "You can't trust my opponent's statements on 9/11 because he falsified his tax return in 1978".
As to answer your question, I believe it would depend on the context, but it is still an ad hominem attack, which is an attack on the person rather than the argument.
You score a respectability point by actually answering. The point is, it is not an ad hominem argument to demonstrate that a statement made in the debate, by one's opponent, is a deliberate lie; it is a direct attack on the credibility of the argument.

That definition is only valid if the person is being attacked in an effort to disprove their argument. Me calling Judy Wood a seedy nut job isn't an ad hominem, because I'm not using it to disprove her arguments. I'm simply making a comment about her. If I were to say that her arguments are incorrect based on the fact that she's a seedy nut job, well then yes. That is an ad hominem.

Sorry, FatesWebb, but if you're really interested in a philosophical question, then go start a thread on the topic. You can put it in CT, but it more properly belongs in General Skepticism or Philosophy (or whatever that sub-forum is called). But in a thread on Prison Planet, their new forum, and Alex Jones by extension, why'd you even bring up the derail?
And I stand corrected by The Doc. The examples I gave would all just be our typically childish behaviour. To make them into ad homs, I'd have to have added, "No one's yet said that because AJ's a fathead, he has no credibility..." and/or similar extensions of the insults I mentioned. A mere insult is not an ad hom argument - it's an insult.
Judy Wood is ugly. Fact (and insult)

Judy Wood is ugly so her math is wrong. Ad Hom
In short, statements one and two can be true, but do not necessarily lead to the accuracy of statement three.

Troofers are usually the first to cry "censorship" when they are banned from messageboards for not following the rules. I regularly post on DU and many a Troofer has been banned for "Jooooos did it/Jooooos are evil111" (though not to say that all Troofers are anti-Semitic). Of course the Troofers ban opposing views from their own forums because they take dissent to their views personally, just like religious believers do when their views are questioned.

Mark Roberts is demonstrating that Jones's claim in (1) was a lie (since he is presumed to be aware of the content of his own statements and therefore cannot be mistaken). How is this an ad hominem fallacy?

I would agree that Mark's post on PP was not an ad hom attack. It was aggressive, sure, but it wasn't a personal attack. And Mark is making a good point that AJ accused the FDNY of exploding the WTC.
I wish they wouldn't ban him at PP or LC. I don't find Mark's arguments to be very solid. There is a heavy dependence on eyewitness statements and incomplete reports, such as the 9/11 CR and NIST. There is this insistence that he will destroy any opponent with an alternative view, but the gravy (the sauce, not the person) is a bit thin.
A lot of people on this forum appear to be obsessed by LC and PP. Perhaps, they are easier targets than say Jim Hoffman, Nafeez Ahmed, or Paul Thompson. If Mark has challenged or debated these guys, I haven't seen it.

Why do I think Jones acts like this?
I have no idea. I'm not a member of his forums, don't listen to his radio show, and have never sent him a penny for anything. I have read a lot of info that is posted on his site. What is valuable are the links embedded in the article. Often I'll read an interesting story, find the original, and quote from that, bypassing any association with PP or AJ.
He's an entertaining extremist, but the biggest problem with AJ is not that he's sometimes off base. The real problem is that he's not offbase all the time. I'm sure this forum heartily disagrees, but his broadcast from 7/01 was damn spot on. If this crazy cable access conspiracy guy can finger OBL before the attacks, why didn't the US gov't?

I'm not saying that AJ was any kind of geopolitical prophet. The neo con playbook is not that hard to predict. He was just watching the plan unfold.
Yes according to the 9/11 Commission Report there was a failure of imagination, policy, capabilities, and management prior to 9/11 that could have prevented the attacks or at least made them more difficult if someone had acted upon the threat, but wasn't that a conclusion reached by the commission and not the US Gov? That was their job to explain how and why the attacks happened and to provide recommendations in order to prevent future attacks.
The 9/11 commission were certainly aware of Project Bojinka although it's possible they weren't aware of Phase II of the plot.
Ultimately it doesn't matter how much imagination you have you still need the intelligence to act upon and in the run up to 9/11 the intelligence and law-enforcement agencies had nothing concrete to go on. The last paragraph of the section called "The Calm Before the Storm" in Chapter 8 pretty much sums it up...
Most of the intelligence community recognized in the summer of 2001 that the number and severity of threat reports were unprecedented. Many Officials told us that they knew something terrible was planned, and they were desperate to stop it. Despite their large number, the threats received contained few specifics regarding time, place, method, or target. Most suggested that attacks were planned against targets overseas; others indicated threats against unspecified "U.S. interests." We cannot say for certain whether these reports, as dramatic as they were, related to the 9/11 attacks.

I would agree that Mark's post on PP was not an ad hom attack. It was aggressive, sure, but it wasn't a personal attack. And Mark is making a good point that AJ accused the FDNY of exploding the WTC.
I wish they wouldn't ban him at PP or LC. I don't find Mark's arguments to be very solid. There is a heavy dependence on eyewitness statements and incomplete reports, such as the 9/11 CR and NIST. There is this insistence that he will destroy any opponent with an alternative view, but the gravy (the sauce, not the person) is a bit thin.
A lot of people on this forum appear to be obsessed by LC and PP. Perhaps, they are easier targets than say Jim Hoffman, Nafeez Ahmed, or Paul Thompson. If Mark has challenged or debated these guys, I haven't seen it.
I agree with the above post. My skepticism is with the 9/11 Commission report and the events surrounding 9/11. I personally respect the views of others here and elsewhere, no matter how misplaced I believe them to be. I think everyone is done a disservice when people are banned because their views happen to be different. If they (PP) wanted a fan club, I'm sure there are plenty of fanatics willing to join. Personally, I am not a fan of AJ, never have been. There is no room for his type of rhetoric anywhere. Is he a hypocrite?

I'm not saying that AJ was any kind of geopolitical prophet. The neo con playbook is not that hard to predict. He was just watching the plan unfold.
Speaking as someone who actually WORKS in the intelligence community, you are pretty much dead wrong with your second statement, RedIbis.
Allow me to explain how intelligence is utilized, inasmuch as I can, within the community.
1. Intelligence is received.
2. Intelligence is evaluated for its usefulness.
3. Assuming it is determined useful, intelligence is drafted into various types of reports and sent up the chain to the proper personnel to determine what should be done, if anything, with it. Do you have ANY idea how many of these reports are generated PER DAY? I couldn't even begin to estimate it, and trust me when I say, most do NOT get to the President's Daily Brief.
In fact, it was a "failure of imagination" that led to 9/11. Prior to 9/11, the US government was not aware that terrorist acts are by their very nature almost unpredictable. Prior to 9/11, most actionable intelligence was always, ALWAYS evaluated with an eye to the PATTERNS. That word is important RedIbis; pay attention to it. Intel analysts would try to determine a pattern of attacks by evaluating the likely courses of action. That's another important word; "likely".
The events of 9/11 WERE in fact considered as possibilities, but were dismissed as "UNlikely" because they did not fit a pattern. Prior to 9/11, Al Qaeda, as a general rule, targeted their targets with EXPLOSIVES. Not planes; explosives (see the Beirut, Kenya, and Tanzania embassy bombings, the USS Cole, and the failed attack on the WTC in 93 as examples). Hijackings, also, followed patterns; prior to 9/11, nearly every hijacking ever carried out was for political or monetary gain on the part of the hijackers. Suicide hijackers were thought unlikely at best. When Rice and Cheney said we had no idea this was possible, they were wrong, absolutely. What they were NOT wrong about was that it was hardly conceived of, because it wasn't considered LIKELY.
And as to the warnings we supposedly had; have you even read the ones that are available on the web? I have, and of the forty-sixty I've seen, MAYBE TWO mention the possibility of attacks WITHIN the US, and do not give any details of what shape those attacks may take. The rest either posit attacks on US interests OUTSIDE the US or do not mention attacks at all. The one that reached the PDB about Osama didn't mention the likelihood of attacks; it just said Osama was dangerous. To which I would've said, "Um, duh; now what can you tell me about what he's PLANNING?"
The long and the short of it is, RedIbis, we were arrogant SOBs who could hardly conceive of an attack on our own soil. The last time anyone had attacked us on our soil, we kicked their butts so thoroughly that we ended up establishing ourselves as the biggest badasses on the planet, at least in the eyes of most of the world at the time. After a while, we started believing the hype ourselves, and therefore didn't comprehend that terrorism is, by its very nature, the most unpredictable type of opposition we have ever faced and can be carried out by small groups of people with minimal technology at their disposal. We know it now, and we have made great strides in finding ways to prevent ourselves from facing an attack of that magnitude again, but we are NOT omniscient or omnipotent, and we cannot stop everything. On a daily basis, thousands of bits of intel float through the IC; do you seriously think we can spend that much time on ALL of them? If you do, no offense, but you would be incredibly naive. I don't see you as naive, so perhaps you could explain to me why you find it so hard to understand that the US government is not omniscient and cannot possibly plan for every eventuality that MIGHT happen.

What is it with truthers and misunderstanding of the nature of the ad hominem logical fallacy? I'm beginning to think that the formal definition of a conspiracy theorist should be "someone who doesn't know a personal attack from an ad hominem argument". Or maybe their ad hom from their elbow.
If they understood logical fallacies they probably wouldn't commit them all the time.

We had a thread about this a while ago. The problem is that truthers jump up and down screaming "debate this guy! debate this guy!".
When someone eventually does, and destroys them, they turn around and accuse us of picking easy targets and trot out the next flavour of the month and start demanding another debate.
Additionally, someone was, IIRC, trying to set up a debate with Griffin, but he kept on pulling our for some reason or other (correct me if I'm wrong, guys - I'm going from memory, here).
But all this is a bit superfluous - science isn't done by debate. Someone once made the example of an imaginary debate between Newton and Einstein to "decide" which theory of gravity is the correct one.

Heres a transcript of Popular Mechanics Davin Coburn against Goyette. Strangely enough, after this Coburn was pulled from all his other scheduled interviews LOL
CG: Is there information that has not been given to the public?
PM: Very little... there is very little that has been held back as far as the basic facts of what happened that morning in terms of the material we looked into.
CG: I was under the impression that there were a lot of facts that were withheld. I mean, the surveillance videos, for example, around the Pentagon we were told about: a hotel video, a convenience store video, we haven't seen those. Apparently they were swooped up very quickly or so the report goes.
PM: That is the case, those have been taken for larger criminal investigations those are now being disclosed to the public, you know with the Judicial Watch material...
CG: I've talked with the guys at Judicial Watch, and they're not very happy about it, they released like four frames that don't really show much of anything.
PM: They don't show very much considering that the frame rate was one frame per second and the plane Flight 77 was moving about 780 feet per second, from that distance it's not surprising that there was not a whole lot caught on that video.
CG: Are you telling me that's the only video?
PM: No, I suspect there are other videos, I suspect they're still being used for various investigations.
CG: What the hell is there to investigate? They told us who the guys were, they held onto some of that stuff for the Moussaoui trial for the love of God, like it was really relevant to his trial (sarcastic), it's five years later, when are the American people entitled to the evidence?
PM: I think there's plenty of evidence out there...
CG: It's not the evidence we've seen that we're concerned about, it's the evidence we haven't seen. Does that make any sense?
PM: Oh sure it makes sense.... The evidence is abundant...
CG: It's the dog that didn't bark... We know the evidence we've seen, that doesn't cause any suspicion so much as the evidence that we don't see. It's not helpful in this country with a very secretive government when a big, powerful magazine like you guys, who owns Popular Mechanics?
PM: "Hearst."
CG: Ok, with Hearst Corporation, with all of your might, instead of joining the people in their natural curiosity to see all the evidence, you try to say, "Oh shut up, you peons don't know what you're talking about, everything's fine, keep on moving, there's nothing to see here." Hearst should be using their influence to get all the evidence released and that will end all the conspiracy talk! Wouldn't it?
PM: (does not answer this question)
CG: ...I want to come back to the unseen evidence - the dog that didn't bark. Hearst has a lot of muscle - where are you in lobbying for the release of all the evidence to put an end to all this madness, speculation and distrust?..
PM: It's not up to us...
CG: I said use your influence.. Look, is there something we don't know about this that they have to hide from us? No, or so I presume. We're told who did it, we've invaded two countries in response to it, we've spent billions of dollars, I mean, what could be possibly secretive right now?
PM: How can I answer the question?
CG: Because you don't know, we just want to see the evidence. If the plane flew into the building, show us the damn pictures. What could that possibly hurt?
PM: (Cannot answer question)
CG: ...Building 7 is the first piece of evidence that I turn to. Popular Mechanics...say that a third of the face, approximately 25% of the depth of the building that was scooped out beforehand.
PM: When the North Tower collapsed... there was damage to Building 7.... What we found out was...about 25% of the building's south face had been carved away from it... Each column that you remove that was destroyed by the wreckage from the North Tower...
CG: That would be very persuasive to me if it were true. And it may or may not be true... I go, oh that's interesting...if that's true that would go a long way towards explaining what happened to Building 7. So I turn to the pictures in your book about Building 7 you've got a picture of Building 7, but it doesn't show that. So I'm going, OK, instead of just somebody asserting that a third of the building was scooped away, show me the picture. But you don't show me the picture.
PM: ...We have seen pictures that are property of the NY Police Department and various other governmental agencies that we were not given permission to disseminate....
CG: Popular Mechanics got to see them, but the average American citizen can't see them.
PM: Correct.
CG: Well, that's a fine kettle of fish, isn't it? ....What did you see there that I can't see?
PM: Just what was described.
CG: Well it must be something that's dangerous for me as an American citizen or a voter to see. You're publishers, if anybody is concerned about evidence in a criminal case or something, they've done the worst possible thing, they've shown it to a damn magazine publisher!
PM: That was done for the purposes of our background research.
CG: What about my background research? Do you see the source of my frustration here? I didn't know we had different classes of citizens. You can't tell me it's because it's a criminal case because they've shown it to a damn magazine publisher.
PM: ....I can't answer that question.
CG: I know you can't.
PM: (is speechless)....
...Caller (Mike): What about the 7 to 9 hijackers that were reported in the British press who came forward and said, "We're alive, what are we doing on the FBI list of so-called hijackers? We're alive and well." How do you explain that one?
PM: It was one BBC report - I am saying that is false.
Caller: How did you verify that the British story was false?
PM: The remains of the hijackers who have been widely understood to have been on those planes...
Caller: What remains?
PM: There was DNA evidence collected all over the place.
Caller: The building was incinerated; the concrete was turned into powder, there were molten pools of steel in the bottom of the building that were still hot weeks after, and they were able do autopsies on bodies? Are you insane? Where are the autopsy reports you were referring to, on the hijackers, where are those reports? I haven't heard anything about autopsy reports.
CG: I want to know, even if we presume you're correct that they recovered the DNA of the 19 hijackers from the rubble, where did they get their original DNA with which to match it? Where did they get the original DNA of a bunch of middle-eastern Islamic madmen? Where did they get the DNA? Had they submitted DNA before they, uh...I mean, where the hell did they get it? You're not even talking sensibly with me.
PM: Off the top of my head, I don't know the answer to that.
CG: Of course you don't.
PM: I'll get back to you with it.
CG: Is that a promise?
PM: I will do my best.
CG: People all across the state of Arizona now are hearing Davin Coburn say on the show that he's gonna find out how they got that DNA checked against those Islamic terrorists who had...hijacked those planes. Good, I'd like to hear it. Now do you understand why people scratch their head when these kinds of representations are made?
PM: No, actually I don't...
CG: You don't understand why when you tell us that they found the hijackers' DNA remains amongst the molten steel, and I ask you where did they get the original DNA from the hijackers to match it against - Do you think that's bizarre to ask a question like that, do you think it's conspiratorial just to want to know?...You told me that they have DNA evidence that matches the hijackers...
PM: I think the entire question is baseless. I think that it is not even a question that's worth answering....
CG: ...You've told me that they checked their DNA, where did they get their original DNA to check it against? You're the one with the answers, I'm not. I just ask questions.
PM: ...A seven year old can ask why, over and over and over....
CG: No, this is the worst attack on America in the history of this country, we've invaded two countries, maybe a third because of it, we're gonna spend trillions of dollars. It's not a seven year old asking why, I want to know where they got the evidence that they matched it against. What's so hard about that?
PM: The way that you're framing it is intentionally...
CG: Of course it is, 'cause it's five years later and we haven't heard the answer. And you haven't given it to us in Popular Mechanics. I swear to God, that's it. You see, it's the way I'm framing it makes it an illegitimate question? Well tell me how to reframe it, tell me how to ask it differently.
PM: I would start entirely over with the question that that gentleman asked.
CG: I want the question I asked. All right, that's it. Hey Davin, thanks...the Charles Goyette Show.

nearly all of the questions asked by CG was on things that PM editors didn't have knowledge of, or would bother to comment on because its out of their scope of expertise. PM isn't about discussing politics; PM isnt about discussing legal matters. So why is CG trying to ask these questions?

nope that is the correct document, and if you read it... it is a lot more than that, it is an outline for war, including the one that we are in right now...
it states that we need to get saddam out of office, of course the document predates this war, even 9/11 even gwbush as president.
it also says we need to goto war with iran and china.
Well then, I guess you won't have any trouble providing the quotes that specifically state that the US should start wars with Iran and China and get Saddam out of office.

Nail on the head. Debunkers pick the easiest targets.
For example, Popular Mechanics did a television debate with Dylan and Jason, who are just filmmakers. Yet they refuse to debate Griffin who has actually written a book on their work. They also refuse toi debate Kevin Ryan.
Uh, how can the PM team refuse to debate guys who refuse to debate?
Griffin doesn't do debates and Ryan hasn't stopped running since Mark accepted his bogus "challenge."

Now I am not one to personally attack people, but then again I think this is a pretty crazy/imperialistic concept, and certainly is not in line with the concept of the USA, or at least the USA created by our forefathers, so I am almost inclined to answer with a yes. however since personal attacks are against my own better judgment, I will abstain from a direct answer.

If this crazy cable access conspiracy guy can finger OBL before the attacks, why didn't the US gov't?
Oh, come on! It's suspicious that the USG fingered OBL so soon after 9/11 and that 9/11 isn't on his Wanted poster, but it's also suspicious that they hadn't fingered him prior to the attack?

If they knew where the suspected hijackers had been living, it would not be difficult at all to gather DNA samples from their respective homes/apartments. Hair left in sinks/showers, etc, skin on sheets/pillows/clothing would be the logical place to start.

uhm, lets see what the definition of Ad Hominem attack is
Ad Hominem attack consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim.
I think it is quite accurate, but I didn't make claim as to whether or not it is accurate, I asked a question, do they belong in debates. What is funny, instead of answering the simple question, you have tried to attack me.Are you asking standard dumb truther questions?
If you had some facts or even tried to read about 9/11 you would not feel so incomplete and useless. You post why did the core of the WTC not stand. But you never studied how the WTC was built, and what the core and shell of the building did. Big mistake after 5 years to ask really dumb questions. The teacher was telling a lie when she said there are no dumb questions! 9/11 truth not only asks really dumb questions but they make up equally dumb ideas on 9/11.
Calm down, take a deep breath, get some facts, and try again.

Still Alex loves to shoot himself in the foot. I never forget him referring to seeing Chinese in the airport and it reminding him of "cockroaches."
Then there was the time he said "China attacked Japan first."
And his barking like a snake oil salesman for gold is a little thick.
Alex can't spell. He can't use simple math. And his economic background and knowledge fills up a thimble.
He has great guests. At times when he is quiet, he has a good interview. How he is able to get Roberts on his show is a mystery. Most sane people run away from Alex in fear.

Alex Jones has just made me realize how much like a religion his movement is. If people disagree, just shut them out and don't ask questions. Not that I think anyone is wrong for being religious, it's just a similar mindset. I asked many such friends if they would teach their kids every religion and let their kids decide. None of them would agree in showing all the information and would only limit them to the information they agreed with. Any information aside from that was viewed as dangerous and compared to teaching kids how to do drugs or shoot people, etc. Seems kinda the same thing with the truth movement. If you point out a contradiction in Jones or the Bible, they are seen as an attack rather than a question.

Thermate, C4, Nukes Prove
911 Was An Inside Job
edward19@cox.net
By Ed Ward, MD
1-15-8
Thermate, C4, Micro Nukes and 911 Was an Inside Job Is The Only Proven Theory that Complies with All of the Evidence in One Proven Theory.
To date, not one valid referenced fact has been established to refute a single proven fact in about 300 references presented in the article, let alone the primary evidence for micro nukes in the WTC.
1. Three Massive WTC Craters - See us gov LIDAR proof:
http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/07/03/05/ward.htm
2. Five Acres of WTC Land Brought to Seering Temperatures in a Few Hours by an 'Anaerobic, Chlorine Fueled "Fire" - Impossible by Basic Laws of Physics. See us gov Thermal Images proof:
http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/07/03/05/ward.htm
3. Tritium Levels 55 Times (normal) Background Levels assessed a numerical value of 'traces' and 'of no human concern'. See us gov (DOE report) proof: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EdWard-MD/message/141
4. An Impossible "Fire" (Combustion Process). See Laws of Physics for Fire/Combustion Process and Dr. Cahill's data on 'anaerobic incineration'. http://rense.com/general77/newlaws.htm

Note: This is based on evidence in which some of glass Tritium containers were not even melted by fire. All of the Tritium found was only in/on the unmelted glass. In any fire that can melt glass, ALL of tritium escapes into the atmosphere, unless water is poured over the source DURING the initial fire.)
Ed Ward, MD
Dear Ed,
I'm not too sure you can prove the use of C-4.
But watch out for the attack from the Chertoff Popular Mechanics groupies. Like Shakespeare wrote, "I think they protest too much."
Contaminated steel from a pure hydrogen Alpha wave nuke isn't too much of a health problem if you ship it off to China and India or use it to make the hull of the USS New York.
I remember your earlier work with the strange cancer cluster coming out of lower New York and within the rescue workers. Man alive, that tritium is dangerous stuff.
Of course there was that radiation spike coming out of the Israeli embassy on the East Side of New York. Nobody seems to be too upset about that.
Nobody seems to be upset or knows why Barry Jennings died either.
No big deal The truth will start to come out when the war criminals start going to The Hague. They will begin to sing like canaries for reduced sentences and then it will get interesting for all the people that thought they could get away with it.
Merry Christmas Dr. Ward.

Yes, there are some who know they don't have the details to present any one topic in depth and hope others are as intellectually weak as they are to notice.

Thermate, C4, Nukes Prove
911 Was An Inside Job

ok #1, I am ashamed to say that he is a mem ber of my profession, but every profession has kooks and believers in snake oil (a few of them even go into homeopathy and other such CRAP!!!).
Thermate, C4, Micro Nukes and 911 Was an Inside Job Is The Only Proven Theory that Complies with All of the Evidence in One Proven Theory.
To date, not one valid referenced fact has been established to refute a single proven fact in about 300 references presented in the article, let alone the primary evidence for micro nukes in the WTC.
1. Three Massive WTC Craters - See us gov LIDAR proof:
http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/07/03/05/ward.htm
2. Five Acres of WTC Land Brought to Seering Temperatures in a Few Hours by an 'Anaerobic, Chlorine Fueled "Fire" - Impossible by Basic Laws of Physics. See us gov Thermal Images proof:
http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/07/03/05/ward.htm
3. Tritium Levels 55 Times (normal) Background Levels assessed a numerical value of 'traces' and 'of no human concern'. See us gov (DOE report) proof: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EdWard-MD/message/141
4. An Impossible "Fire" (Combustion Process). See Laws of Physics for Fire/Combustion Process and Dr. Cahill's data on 'anaerobic incineration'. http://rense.com/general77/newlaws.htm
5. And More Proprietary Evidence

Hello!?! 48,000 Curies of Tritium Would Have to Have Burned to Leave the 3.53/2.83 nCi/L of WTC Tritium Residue
http://groups.yahoo. com/group/EdWard-MD/message/147
Note: This is based on evidence in which some of glass Tritium containers were not even melted by fire. All of the Tritium found was only in/on the unmelted glass. In any fire that can melt glass, ALL of tritium escapes into the atmosphere, unless water is poured over the source DURING the initial fire.)

Dear Ed,
I'm not too sure you can prove the use of C-4.
But watch out for the attack from the Chertoff Popular Mechanics groupies. Like Shakespeare wrote, "I think they protest too much."
Contaminated steel from a pure hydrogen Alpha wave nuke isn't too much of a health problem if you ship it off to China and India or use it to make the hull of the USS New York.
I remember your earlier work with the strange cancer cluster coming out of lower New York and within the rescue workers. Man alive, that tritium is dangerous stuff.
Of course there was that radiation spike coming out of the Israeli embassy on the East Side of New York. Nobody seems to be too upset about that.
Nobody seems to be upset or knows why Barry Jennings died either.
No big deal The truth will start to come out when the war criminals start going to The Hague. They will begin to sing like canaries for reduced sentences and then it will get interesting for all the people that thought they could get away with it.
Merry Christmas Dr. Ward.
I was going to tackle this, as it is from someone, a physician, who I would have thought would have better sense, but like I said in my earlier quote above, you get a few idiots in every med school class...he is OBVIOUSLY one of them. I have decided it is not worth my time. No this is not a duck, or "I can't reply", but merely truther fatigue. Like others have said, a shotgun approach here, and it is not going to get me to take the bait.
TAM:)

If he could present one or two of these points he obviously thinks are compelling alone instead of en masse, maybe he'd get a better response.
I'd like to know more about this "radiation spike" from the Israeli embassy, for example.

Basically I fear beijingyank has cut and pasted a world view, not an argument.

When posting at the prison planet forums, does one need to write in all caps?
Eta: Damn, I tried to type this post in all caps, but the forum software doesn't let me.

Thermite, C4, AND mini-nukes? Wow! Why not just say it was also a giant laser from outer space?

Kind of. It's like invasion of the body snatchers. If you speak intelligently you will be exposed and everyone will point and moan.

Don't the loudspeakers Alex Jones uses at his rallies hint at the reason for the CAPS LOCK LOL?

Your mistake. That would be the bullyhorn.
Especially when used in front of the new WTC7.

Dang, well Merry Christmas to me... bumping an old thread like this....
So back to the OP. In the year and a half (or nearly so) since they opened their forums has anyone been able to stomach the place, or able to mask their intelligence sufficiently to stay on board?
Any other stories from the front?
