Apparently, not a single insider has the strength of conviction of a Truther.

But maybe that's your point. There were so many people involved and so many things going on, something was bound to go wrong. And anyone who has seen his foxy secretary knows that trying to hide the thing only made it worse.

Hall's mother was also a secretary to a major player in Iran-Contra. Strange how all these ladies survived Hall's whistle-blowing. But I guess that only goes to show how much braver you'd have to do something like this about the 9/11 conspiracy. Right? Right!

It's 9/11 Truth that's the hero of this scandal. 9/11 Truth, those brave young white men, willing to risk it all to save the world from tyranny. 9/11 Truth...9/11 Truth...the heroes of the world.

Yeah,,sure. There are a few hundred key players at most and the rest take orders. Read post number three or so..the one about the Nuremberg Trials and what those guys said. Nothing has changed.

You are completely dumb or politically motivated if you think that 9/11 was not an inside job. Watch the video in a post I made to you a few minutes ago (#36) Andreas van Bulow lays out the whole thing in simple clear terms. It couldn't be more obvious and people had better atart getting smart real quick and put a stop to this before it's too late.

Oh, christ, not bloody Northwoods again. A document that proposed faked attacks, in which, very specifically, nobody was to get killed, and that was rejected out of hand by JFK, becomes proof that the USA murders its citizens as a matter of routine. As usual, truthers don't look at the actual Northwoods proposals; they just decide what they want history to be, and pretend that's what it was.

Would you mind posting a copy for the Readers to check out ?

'' James Bamford wrote on Northwoods:

Operation Northwoods, which had the written approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing Cuba to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch their war.[18]''

3,000 at the Twin Towers with a prize of all the World ? No sweat baby..

Furthermore they point to an unclassified document as proof that the American government would be complicit in such actions, without asking the logical question, Why? Why declassify a document for the world to see, then turn around and execute it? The stupidity is beyond me.

Quite a few Sabrina had a list at one point. I tried using the search function but couldn't find it, its pretty massive. I will send her a message and see if she still has it.

Frankly bill I think you are completely dumb or politically motivated if you think that 9/11 was an inside job.

So. It appears we are at an impasse.

Now what? If your evidence of inside job was so great, we'd have the same protests for that as we do the Wall Street protests. When do you think that will happen?

"They" seem to be waiting an awful long time to collect that prize, kiddo.

With every passing day, references to Northwoods and every other retarded truther theory become proven more wrong than they were the day before. Nothing - not a single 'reason' you people have come up with has come true. Not a single one.

I did. It did not bring me back to the original source. Quote the Northwoods section that supports this. Your source didn't.

From what I remember, we have had entire threads based on Northwoods. Start a thread, bill. All I can say is study up, because IIRC there are a few folks here who have read that baby and understand what it is really about.

And when will you stop talking to the "readers", bill? You know as well as I do all but a couple of the lurkers think you truthers are nuts. We've been there before...

I don't think the Readers will have much problem working out what it was all about Twinstead.

How can this impasse be broken? What kinds of things would show even a die-hard skeptic like me that there just may be something to this 9-11 conspiracy thing? Hell, I'm no anti-globalist, but when I see these protesters at Wall Street I say to myself, "hmmmmm. I wonder is there IS something to this. They sure are passionate about it".

How can this impasse be broken? What kinds of things would show even a die-hard skeptic like me that there just may be something to this 9-11 conspiracy thing? Hell, I'm no anti-globalist, but when I see these protesters at Wall Street I say to myself, "hmmmmm. I wonder is there IS something to this. They sure are passionate about it".
Bill and his kind support their theories with all the passion of a rock.

Nice dodge on sourcing your claim.

The Northwoods documents were about planting flowers so all the world could live in harmony.

Are we even now?

PS: I'm not sure (and I don't care to filter through all the crap to find them) they are available in their entirety on the internet.

But you, in your reasonable and objective view of human history, decide that those animals wouldn't lose any sleep over killing thousands of
American civilians or the risks involved with such a plot. I assume you mean everyone in the military, the government, high finance, the intelligence communities of various nations, the police and fire departments in NYC, emergency crews in Virginia, the coroner's office in Pennsylvania, Larry Silverstein, the mainstream media, NIST, and assorted people at the FAA.

Mike, a correction; it was 'carried out' by a small cadre, while simultaneously involving thousands of rescue personnel, military, and civilians, across the country.

How Truthers heads don't explode, I have no idea.

It's worth listing what Northwoods did suggest.
  • A military deception plan to make Cuba think an invasion was imminent, provoking a reaction which could be used as a pretext for an actual invasion.
  • Starting rumours of an attack on Guantanamo Bay, stage a fake attack using friendly forces, blow up some munitions, capture some fake enemy soldiers, sink a ship in harbour and stage fake funerals.
  • Blow up an unmanned ship in Cuban waters, stage a fake rescue of a nonexistent crew, and publish casualty lists.
  • Fake a terror campaign against Cuban expatriates in Florida and Washington, by staging fake assassination attempts, "even to the extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicised", setting off bombs, arresting Cuban agents and faking documents ordering the campaign.
  • Sink a boatload of Cubans en route to America, "real or simulated".
  • Fake an attack on a Central American country by cane-burning night raids using aircraft in Cuban markings, intercepting fake Cuban arms shipments, and sending fake messages.
  • Fake harrassment of US civil aircraft by military aircraft disguised as Cuban MiGs.
  • Portraying hijacks as ordered by the Cuban government.
  • Shooting down an unmanned drone aircraft and claiming it had American students on board.
  • Staging a fake disappearance of a USAF fighter near Cuban waters.
No deaths were planned, and it's unclear whether anybody was to be attacked without their agreement; it's quite consistent with the document that the Cuban expatriates to be wounded and sunk in transit could have been recruited for the purpose.

And the most teling fact about Northwoods is that it didn't stay secret; it's been well-known for a very long time that these things were suggested. To use it as evidence that the US Government could have carried out a mass murder of its own citizens and kept it secret for ten years is utterly bizarre.

This is true. I first read about it in the early 70's. I was into the JFK assassination theories and I read about in the library*.

(*for "truthers", this is a place with books you look through to find information).

Slightly unrelated Dave but did they really have drone (unmanned) passenger aircaft that would take off follow a specified flight plan in the 60's ? That means that the planes on 9/11 with the advantage of 30 years improvements in technology could easily have been remote controlled. Do you asgree ? If not, why not ?
