If you understood the definition of irony, you'd see that's not what you were doing.

RedIbis you are done here. There is no evidence the FBI or anyone else has of the four flights that crashed on 9/11. If any of the so-called debunkers here had any they would post it instead of just debating you on quotation marks or anything else off topic. They just want to drive it into AAH and pretend that because they did they debunked something. When in reality they are just hiding something.

It is common knowledge 11, 175, 77 and 93 were the aircraft used on 9/11 by terrorist. You can't prove they were not. It was proven they were. You posted a lie, a false statement you made up due to ignorance on 9/11 facts and evidence. That is the truth and you can't do anything about it but talk and push hearsay and false ideas.


The RedIbis OP title is wrong, and he posted proof the truth movement can't even ask the right questions. 9/11 truth can't even figure out 9/11 after 6 years so they make up stuff out of junk.

Why have none of the witnesses, first responders, or crash scene investigators come forward to express similar doubts or suspicions?

And RedIbis readily agrees:

The only one whining here is you, RedIbis. Oh, and look, yet another example of disingenuousness on your part. How unsurprising.

As I have already said, I will not accede to your demand that I respond to your cherrypicked "quote". Nor will I play your silly games while you continue to misquote, cherrypick, mislead, post dishonestly, and make unsupported accusations. Especially when it is obvious that you are - once again - simply trying to tapdance your way out of answering legitimate posts and legitimate questions addressed to you by feigning indignance, even though you are reduced to engaging in further cherrypicking to do so.

Tsk, tsk. This tactic of yours does not improve with repetition, and you are not fooling anyone but yourself.

Hold on there now, counsellor. You said, "in light of your numerous and blatant misquotes". Such a phrase requires evidence. Again, it shouldn't be hard to find such "numerous and blatant misquotes." This isn't a cherrypicked quote, it stands on its own. Everyone knows what you mean by it. No context is going to change what you are charging here. So back it up with an example.

Your misplaced modifier suggests you just recently learned how to use quotation marks. That's somewhat obvious. Now review the definition of irony.

As I asked right from the start, where's this evidence? Someone saying there's evidence isn't the same as actual evidence. I would expect you to understand that difference.

Oh no, Red, no no no. That is not what you said, now is it, Red? You said "The FBI Has No Record of Any Evidence of the 4 Flights Used on 9/11." "Someone" is not saying they have evidence, the FBI is saying they have it in sworn statement under oath.

Now you want to know where it is, hmmmm? Well, you might want to start with the link posted in your OP.

"Plaintiff's original FOIA request sought "documentation pertaining to any formally and positively identified debris" from the aircraft used in the September 11th attacks. In response to this request, RIDS personnel at FBIHQ understood that any potentially responsive records would have been compiled for law enforcement purposes and would be located in a pending file because of an ongoing law enforcement investigation. RIDS personnel therefore determined that any records would be withheld in their entirety pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A)." So they are held in a file compiled for law enforcement purposes, which is exempt from disclosure under FOIA.

So Aiden got "clever." He limited his request to documents "revealing the process by which wreckage recovered by defendant, from the aircraft used during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, was positively identified by defendant." To no one's surprise, he got nothing.

And the FBI rubbed his nose in it: "evidence collected after September 11, 2001 has corroborated the fact that American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 77 and United Flight 93 were the aircraft hijacked."

Hey Red, now you send a FOIA request for "evidence collected after September 11, 2001 has corroborated the fact that American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 77 and United Flight 93 were the aircraft hijacked."

Got it, truther? Or do nothing but cut and paste from 911 Blogger, just don't complain when people laugh at you.

I just did. And it says receiving a lesson on where to place a modifier by someone who doesn't know meets the standard.

Ask the FBI where the evidence is. You're allowed to do that you know, you don't live in a police state.

As I have said twice already, I will not accede to your demand that I respond to your cherrypicking. Yet, here you are continuing to cherrypick and continuing to demand that I respond to same. Unbelievable. You know full well that you are cherrypicking, and that what I actually wrote was, "...in light of your numerous and blatant misquotes, cherrypicking, unsupported accusations here (none of which you have ever apologized for) and particularly in light of your dishonest mis-attributing of quotes exposed in this very thread..."

How very dishonest of you to pretend otherwise.

See also this post and this post. You seem to be trying desperately to avoid responding to them, particularly the latter.

The evidence is there; you are not trying at all to understand. Some would call that failure. Why are you are unable to comprehend the evidence? You have never posted any evidence to support your ideas. 11, 175, 77, and 93 have been proven to be the planes used on 9/11. With ease you ignore the evidence a grade school kid understands, but eludes you.

I know you can't prove 11, 175, 77, and 93 were not the planes, and it seems you will never accept what is common knowledge to rational thinkers. You even ignore DNA evidence! You ignore thousands of pieces of evidence to remain ignorant on the planes used on 9/11.
Why are you striving to remain in ignorance on 9/11?

Because the truther ideal is to continue to ask questions until they find ones we cannot answer (to their satisfaction). They then feel they've "won". It's an ego thing.

Have you apologized for the misquote that is this thread title?

Are there quotation marks around the thread title? If not, it's not a misquote. You're free to disagree with my assertion, but at least understand what "blatant misquote" actually means. It's a serious charge that requires a very specific example. It hasn't been provided yet.

True, it was just an old-fashioned lie.

I see, so you were lying, not misquoting.

Is that better?

No, I don't have to post anything upon your demand, particularly as your demand was made above in yet another example of your vaunted cherrypicking technique.

But hey, if that's what it will take to get you to respond meaningfully to the issues and questions raised in this thread, look at post #208, which you are studiously avoiding, and which specifically references a blatant misquote by you in post #149.

True, no one can force you to support your specious claim of my numerous blatant misquotes.

But it should be very easy if they're so numerous and so blatant. No need to respond with more rhetoric, just the example.

Jesus, man... do you have ADD? There was more to LashL's post than the small portion you quoted.

You really are hilarious, RedIbis, with your nonsensical cherrypicking - yet again, even after it has been pointed out to you several times above, you continue to make disingenous and dishonest posts.

Furthermore, I pointed you specifically to the very posts in this thread in which a blatant misquote by you was noted, quoted and commented upon, and you are still ignoring that reality.

You really aren't fooling anyone but yourself, RedIbis.


Readers: Follow this exchange for a demonstration of the RedIbis trolling technique of intellectually dishonest posts, as well as nonsensical and extremely silly and juvenile posts full of lies ... it's not pretty.

I don't think he's fooling himself. He knows he's a liar, and deliberately ignores all evidence that contradicts his fantasy. But it's OK to lie for The Truth™, right RedIbis? Is that how you justify it?

Indeed, it is very well documented her what a dishonest fraud RedIbis is. Frankly, I'm shocked he still even posts here after he has been called out time and time again on this kind of thing.

Pious Fraud:

a fraud done to accomplish some good end, on the theory that the end justifies the means.

For example, a church in Canada had a statue of Christ which started to weep tears of blood. When analyzed, the blood turned out to be beef blood. We can reasonably assume that someone with access to the building thought that bringing souls to Christ would justify his small deception.

In the context of debates, a Pious Fraud could be a lie. More generally, it would be when an emotionally committed speaker makes an assertion that is shaded, distorted or even fabricated. For example, British Prime Minister Tony Blair was accused in 2003 of "sexing up" his evidence that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Around the year 400, Saint Augustine wrote two books, De Mendacio[On Lying] and Contra Medacium[Against Lying], on this subject. He argued that the sin isn't in what you do (or don't) say, but in your intent to leave a false impression. He strongly opposed Pious Fraud. I believe that Martin Luther also wrote on the subject.

So many times I see truthers argue points that, even if proved to be correct, would not change the overall conclusion.

Yet they do it anyways.

Truther: "UBL isn't on the most wanted list poster"

Logical thinker: "So, does that mean he didn't do it".

Truther: "No but...."

Logical thinker: "So then whats the point? Who do you think did 9/11?"

Truther: "I don't have a theory, just asking questions"

I am so sick of this. Truthers do nothing but nitpick 9/11 but offer no real solid evidence. Just trying to poke holes in a window screen.

They must know that 90% of their questions are irrelevant to the big picture yet they continue anyways.

Sad.
