9/11 Truthers... What is your smoking gun?

Post the single piece of evidence that you believe proves 9/11 was an inside job. I've seen a lot of information that is suspicious, but what is your smoking gun?

You must be new to dealing with 9/11 quacks.

WTC7 is the answer you will get.

It will be the last simple coherent statement you will hear from them (especially if you ask them to explain it).

I've "debated" with them on other forums and notice one thing they do is go quickly from topic to topic while cherry picking the facts.

I'd like to discuss one single issue and see where it goes.

Yeah...well, good luck with that!

Precedent indicates it will go like the wheels on the bus if you catch my meaning.

Out of the many suspicious events that day, I will agree that WTC #7 is the most damning. The recent dust analysis paper, along with witness testimony of explosions and molten steel really drive the point home.

That's ridiculous. There is no substance that can both melt steel and blow it up.

Perhaps you'll be the first twoofer to give a plausible motive for blowing up WTC7 and explain how this was done without arising the suspicions of any officials that were actually there.

No, who am I kidding, you won't be.

Also, be advised, we are aware of the existence of paper shredders and will point out that fact to you in various snarky, sarcastic, mocking and belittling ways should your proposed motive be mentally retarded.

Guiliani's secret bunker was not really for Emergency Preparedness, but rather housed a whore house used by all the presidents and politicians. Word got out to Prisonplanet of this on 9/11, so it had to be taken down.

But on Mythbusters last night, they had something that actually did that - thermite plus ice. So, the NWO clandestinely brought in tons of ice blocks and thermite, melted the some steel and then caused explosions when the thermite reached the ice. The ice melts away, and the thermite leaves residue that would normally be found in the wreckage.

This theory is better than anything the TM has produced to date.

Uhhh Ohhhh Here we go. A new theory for the TM to grasp onto. By 2012 we will all be discussing the 'iceberg in the canteen of WTC2' conspiracy. Watch this space folks - you heard it here first.

a long time ago when i first started "debating" with truthers
i found an article on one of their research sites that was instructions on how to debate debunkers

it included instructions that read something like "dont stay on one subject too long, switch topics often"
"dont rebut things, change subjects"
etc

it was a pretty long read and shows how the "truth" operates (dirty tactics)

i've been looking for it the last few weeks but i fear its been deleted
hopefully at some point someone here has read it too and has a link or a copy

They'll make up WTC workers who complained about how cold it was in the Towers that day and how there appeared to be so many HVAC and vending machine workers there that day.

Yeah. It will run and run for so long that they will eventually believe the crap that they themselves started. Then come to JREF in 2012 with some wiki article or third hand statement from an unknown WTC employee who witnessed men in black suits carrying large dripping blocks of ice through the lobby. Hey i could get used to this story telling stuff

Yeah I saw that. Very interesting. I was a little disturbed that that they did not really try to guess what caused the explosion. Seemed to me pretty clear that what we were seeing was the explosive release of super heated steam. They suggested water separating into hydrogen and oxygen? Thermite dispersed in the air?

Guess they never saw a steam boiler blow up.

But yet, not a single piece of audio equipment recording that day picked up any sort of explosions in WTC7. Why is that?

No, no, no, you all don't understand. They don't look for smoking guns. They try to smoke the guns. This is the real reason there are so few of them anymore. They put the barrels in their mouth, inhale, and put a lighter to it.

Tragic, really.

You obviously weren't at last month's NWO meeting. It was explained that the guidelines were taken down by NWO operatives and the authors were kidnapped and disposed of at the same Area 51 rendering facility used to get rid of the passengers from the fake 9/11 flights.

This is top secret information, but publishing it online as I am today is part of our psy-ops disinfo campaign. Hiding in plain sight, as it were.

You presented hearsay and moronic Jones junk-science.

Evidence is what was asked; do you know evidence. Please do not say explosions were from explosives without evidence, there were zero sounds of explosives on 911 so you will need to bring more than lies and fantasy.

In all seriousness, AFAIK, there is no single piece of evidence which is used to 'prove' the inside job theory.

The term 'smoking gun' was used recently by Dr. Steven Jones, discussing his team's paper 'Active Thermitic Material Discovered in dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe' on Visibility 9/11 this year. As you may know, the paper focuses on the small Red/Grey chips found in WTC dust samples.

I think the paper is one of the most thoroughly and competently researched inquiries made by the 9/11 truth movement to date. As yet, the results are somewhat incomplete - they haven't identified the Grey layer, the 'organic binder', and they haven't yet isolated the Red layer to determine what the energy output of it is by itself. Nor did they get combustion of the chips in the absence of oxygen - now THAT would have been interesting!

As it stands today, you'd probably agree that the term 'smoking gun' is premature for this line of inquiry. More accurately it should be labeled 'potential smoking gun, TBC'

Here's a link to the interview. Also check out the infomercial by A&E for T's Richard Gage! (There is a blurb on the right of their home page outlining the case for CD at WTC7 http://www.ae911truth.org/)

Correction...that was the "Loaded gun" not the 'Smoking gun'.
Get your twoof guns straight

Next I can only assume we will have the 'Empty gun' and finally the "new in wrapper never opened resale special' gun

Discussing the smoking loaded gun evidence from "Active Thermitic Material Discovered in dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe' Discovered in dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe" is akin to discussing the evidence from a checkout rag....Headline reading: "Alien Baby found in Paris Hiltons ear"--neither one is peer reviewed, both are junk, and only fools buy into it

Also, it has not been determined that what they found was:

A)Active Thermitic Material

Nor has it been even remotley concluded to be

B)Discovered in dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe

So, at face value...it falls all over itself....

BTW--great job on your YouTube vids

I was wondering how the CD of WTC7 would automatically imply an "inside job"?
Why couldn't some redneck anti-gubmint types have blown it up? A few warriors working as security guards set up the magic-o-explosives and blow the thing up. Or some islamic fundamentalists for that matter?
If it was so easy to rig the building without anyone noticing where's the problem in these two scenarios?
So what specifically proves "inside job" if WTC7 was in fact blown up?

...this is complete bunk. How you can make such ridiculous generalizations without being totally called out by your fellow members is beyond me. Is there a skeptics handbook that you "all" refer to? Jref, so quick to destroy any mistatement made by a member of alternate theory, and yet so happy to let anyone posting garbage that fits their worldview get a pass.....

Why don't you hold everyone to the same standards? It would lend credibility to any member who did, imo.

Has anyone been able to explain how the fires in the two towers were only hot enough to cause structural failure(ie. not melt steel), yet molten metals were found in the rubble piles? Why was the steel hot enough to melt the worker's boots in the weeks post-collapse?

Could the fires that burned in the damaged sections of the towers spread as the building collapsed, and then grow into larger fires below the rubble that reached hotter temperatures?

Also, it has not been determined that what they found was:

A)Active Thermitic Material

Nor has it been even remotley concluded to be

B)Discovered in dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe

So, at face value...it falls all over itself....

BTW--great job on your YouTube vids
Oh, thanks! Well, the Jones paper was in fact peer reviewed, although people are skeptical about the journal it was published in. I don't think it's fair to characterize the chip testing as junk science, but as I pointed out the conclusions Jones et al. are drawing are not really supported by that evidence.
See where I'm going?


Incidentally, Jones seems confused about what the possible role of any such nanothermite might have been in the collapses anyway. In a discussion with Dr. Frank Greening, he seemed to be favouring the idea that NT was used as a detonator for conventional high-explosives.

But he also speculates that the NT might have been 'painted on', possibly by unsuspecting workers, onto core steel columns.

Either way, he's not really theorizing high temperature steel melting, he's leaning towards a high-explosive effect. There are serious problems with that idea, starting with the fact that there weren't any detonations, blast shockwaves or that type of evidence observed.

Here's a really good illustration of the absence of detonations. It doesn't get any more clear than this video, taken fairly close to the collapse - the camera is zoomed in fairly tight to the burning areas, and captures the beginning of collapse. The only sound heard is a growing rumbling sound as the collapse progresses.

Doesn't look at all like CD to me. Doesn't matter whether it's nanothermite or not.
