Has Ryan Mackey debunked Jim Hoffman

I don't know if the rest of you know but if you do and Mackey did indeed debunk Hoffman post the link so I can read it.

As we all know, Mackey wrote a 300 page critique on Griffin's chapter on the NIST report. http://wtc7lies.googlepages.com/Mack...review_2_1.pdf

Hoffman, however, wrote a critique of Mackey's work.
http://wtc7lies.googlepages.com/Mack...review_2_1.pdf

I know mackey debunked Kevin Ryan twice. but i don't know if Mackey wrote something debunking Hoffman. So did Mackey write something countering Hoffman cuase I couldn't find anything.

Nobody on this forum has ever debunked anything. Not a single thing, ever. They either just pretend they have or try and muddy the waters a bit and call it a debunking.

Pretty much everything is debunked. 10 minute procedures was debunked by a real researcher, Mike Williams. No plane hit the pentagon is debunked by the witnesses, black box, DNA evidence, passenger artifacts, charred bodies, and even common sense. Stewart's plane was intercepted in over an hour not 20 minutes. Cheney was never in charge of NORAD. The put options were placed because of a combination of falling stock prices and bad news. Top pentagon officials cancelled their flight plans to leave the building that was going to be targeted the next day. Not one single CD expert in the world agrees that the Twin Towers was a CD, not a single one. The lost trillions were announced several times before 9/11. Marvin Bush left Securacom before his brother was ever even elected. The hijackers are not alive is debunked by even common sense. The passengers are on the manifest. All those fantasies are debunked with even the least reseach. So don't spill out your nonsense.

Well I don't know about the rest, but you, as a forum member, certainly hasn't proven anything EXCEPT your ability to BS.

As for Mackey and Hoffman, what has Hoffman put out that is any different then the regurgitated crap that Gage and DRG put out? If there is anything unique to Hoffman, please, present it.

I can't for the life of me figure out why he would bother. Hoffman is self debunking, just read Mackeys white paper (the one he "critiqued").

Oh come on. Dude. The evidence that what you call the "official story" is the narrative that most closely fits ALL the available evidence of what happened that day is copious, compelling, and available in the public domain for all to see and scrutinize. If you think THAT is "muddying the waters" then you're not as bright as you think you are.

Don't agree with it, call it all faked, call it planted, call it whatever, but don't insult our intelligence (and yours) by claiming it doesn't exist.

Jim Hoffman debunks himself:

Equipment Procurement

The following table lists the materials required for both Towers.
part quantity
20"x20"x3/4" ceiling tile with embedded thin-film explosive and 2-channel wireless micro-detonator 1,000,000
12"x12"x3/4" ceiling tile with embedded thin-film explosive and 2-channel wireless micro-detonator 800,000

5 gallon thermate coating compound 20
spray applicator with flexible snake hose and integrated borescope 2

And your evidence? Yes, you post off topic tripe and left your evidence where?

This is cool, you offer zero support for Hoffman who has thermite in the ceiling tiles with thousands of receivers to set off each ceiling tile. Self debunking tripe like you posts.

I think the difficulty here comes in defining the word "debunked". Truthers do this in two different ways.

When it comes to talking about the "official story", just about anything they come up with apparently qualifes as a solid debunking. So, for instance, in his book "The 9/11 Commission Report-Omissions and Distortions", David Ray Griffin states that the hijacker identifications have been "shown to be incorrect". Not just that doubts have been raised, not simply that there are questions to be answered: it's a definitive "shown to be incorrect".

When it comes to evaluating debunkings of truthers own statements, though, the standards mysteriously become far, far higher. So, for instance, on 911myths I can point to major problems with the "hijacker still alive" stories; I can point out, for instance, that the BBC's Waleed Al Shehri has a different name to the hijacker, a different age, a different face, a different job, a different family. However, it seems that unless I can personally provide DNA samples (or something similar) then none of this has any value at all.

So, "Has Ryan Mackey debunked Jim Hoffman"? Truthers will forever say "no", because they'll always demand more of their detractors than they do of themselves. But don't let it worry you, it's not like it matters what truthers think.

This is just out of interest, i do not think the put options mean there was a conspiracy. Just pure interest.

Well if we were to attempt to debunk it, we would also have to debunk/explain why the same stocks fell even more earlier that year...yet no terrorist attack occurred.

See here for better answers than the conspiratorial ones.
http://www.911myths.com/html/put_options.html

And here: http://www.911myths.com/index.php/Put_Options

The airline industry wasn't doing so well prior to 9/11 in 2001 either.

The stock prices for Continental Airlines were also falling as United and American's were. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=CAL&...=10&f=2001&g=w

Continental earns a profit for the third quarter of 2001 but only because they received aid from the government. Otherwise they would've reported losses.
http://www.continental.com/web/en-US...-10-31-01.html

If planes from cotinental airlines were used then they would be getting all the attention rather than American and United. And it's likely that continental, as well as other businesses, also experienced high number of put options. Am I supposed to believe that out of all the businesses in the world that do business on wall street and other markets, the onlye companies experiencing spikes of put options were both airlines used on 9/11.

I did something on it at http://911myths.com/index.php/Put_Options

This isn't something I'd say was definitively debunked, but it does point out a few things that truthers rarely bother to mention. For instance, the best example they quote of foreknowledge is the purchase of American Airlines put options on Monday 10th of September. Suspicious timing, we're told. Except I don't think I've ever seen a truther directly list the bad news I discovered American Airlines had reported the previous Friday:

The reality is there was reason to believe the stock was in trouble. The economy was doing poorly anyway. A newsletter recommended on Sunday that people buy the puts, and that created a spike in sales on Monday. This doesn't prove there was nothing dodgy going on, but it does show there's a possible alternative explanation (which is probably why truthers keep quiet about it).

That is probably the most truthful and precise answer that you have given since being here. That would also include your previous visits.

Anyway as to your reference to 'debunking'. True - nobody here on JREF has had any real need to debunk anything. The events of 911 are a reality. It happened infront of a capacity crowd. No other event in the history of our time has been witnessed by as many people. Just because you have since been fooled to believe otherwise is your problem.
Edited by Tricky:  Edited for rule 12.

911 hasnt been debunked fool. Its the stupid about 911 that has.

Comrades? You're "TheViking" now, not "TheCommunist"!

Anyway, for any new people or lurkers who might be reading this (since Tobias has been around long enough to know this on his own; he predates me, in fact): Yes, the whole truther process has always been the standard 'Make something suspicious about a real world event that is indeed a little (not a lot, merely a little) out of the ordinary, yet ignore all alternate, mundane, non-conspiratorial explanations for it'. Mike W, as always, had done a standout job in providing the context for this "issue". If you're new to 9/11 trutherism, his site (http://911myths.com) is excellent reading for this sort of thing. Yes, the stock move is unusual... until you see the context of the earlier day's news, which Mike W. is comfortable pointing out, but truthers never do. Unusual move? All right. But explained easily by factors that have zero to do with any conspiracy.

So, you're saying you believe the evil NWO was somehow able to pull this off? Or perhaps you think Satan was involved?

Yes...is there really a need to "debunk" the belief that NORAD both ordered its fighters to stand down AND had them shoot down flight 93?

Thanks for pointing this out Truther Vinnie. That's why 911 Truth remains the most divisive issue in the nation. It tears at the very fabric of our people. The sound of 911 Truth can mobilize thousands of professionals from the construction industry, firefighting and law. It has damaged families, friends, and colleagues. Led by a band of brave citizens, 911 Truth is changing the very face of this nation.

For some reason this comment made me think of this:

The Black Knight

It's just a scratch...I've had worse.

just everything you presented, and all of 911 truth


Hoffman was debunked, unless you have something to support him; got some evidence? No you will post nothing but talk, and repeat that simple action. Where is the evidence for 911 truth?

Do you have some evidence for Hoffman's thermite ceiling tiles?

Yes, have you forgotten all of that evidence you've hand waved away because it shows you to be wrong?

And, of course, there are the claims made by various CTists from different factions that are directly contradictory, hence auto-debunking.

The towers fell directly in their footprint!
The towers were blown to pieces with bits flung in all directions!
Sheeple!

Hoffman, however, wrote a critique of Mackey's work.
http://wtc7lies.googlepages.com/Mack...review_2_1.pdf

I know mackey debunked Kevin Ryan twice. but i don't know if Mackey wrote something debunking Hoffman. So did Mackey write something countering Hoffman cuase I couldn't find anything.

Wow... you really sound like a former banned poster... go figure.

Please provide JUST ONE FACT. That is all I am asking for. JUST ONE SUPPORTABLE fact.

Why can't you do that?

Wow that's just lost you all credibility ever.

Do you really think 911 Truth never made any errors?
