How can the "1600" NOT be ignored? They haven't published anything. What is there NOT to ignore? All they have done is signed an internet petition. All PM could have done is noted that they signed an internet petition. Frankly that doesn't impress me in the least, and I assume it wouldn't impress any real expert.

Who of these 1600 is a leading conspiracy theorist? Every single one of them?
To hammer this point home, let us focus on the licensed Professional Engineers among the 1600 whose first name begins with an A:
Please focus on the word leading in each instance. These are 20 separate questions. If you answer all 20 with "No, not leading CTist", then I think you should reconsider your sweeping claim that PM ignored the 1600 when they wrote that no leading CTist has a background in engineering. However, if you should answer one or more of the questions with "Yes", I expect you to explain to us why you think that person is a leading CTist by stating what the person has actually done to lead. I'll tell you in advance that "filling out an internet form" is not commonly recognized as an act of leadership. |

(Could someone who is not yet on Marokkaans "I put my thumbs in my ears, fingers over my eyes, sing LALALA and ignore you" list, and who is interested in Marokkaan's reply, please repost my previous post? Thanks)

You're arguing with a 13 year old fanboy who's butthurt because his favorite truthy group wasn't mentioned by PM...and ignores everything that is asked of him. What's the point?

Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong...
...in fact somebody will probably try to correct me if I'm right... ![]() BUT Didn't the 1600 +/- associated with AE911Truth simply sign a petition calling for another investigation?

In fact nothing in the petition requires professional judgement. |

It appears Marokkaan has run out of responses, and has resorted to project what he is doing on this thread onto PM. Sad.

So, I've been out of this thread for a couple of days. Can someone point me to the itemized response from our OP, showing the engineering credentials of the LEADERS of the 911 Truth Conspiracy Movement?
I think Alex Jones got an Erector Set for Christmas when he was eight. Does that count? |

I have just a couple quick questions for Maro.
Why do you put so much stock into AE911truth, and discount the hundreds of thousands of other engineers and architects who have been subjected to building code changes worldwide because of the events of 9/11? They don't have to read the NIST report word for word, but you are aware that the NIST report whether they have read it or not, has directly impacted the way they perform their jobs. If they had issue with it, don't you think they would speak up? You throw the number 1600 around as if its a juggernaut figure. You do realize that in the grand scheme of things, the number is irrelevant, not even 1% of the community they claim to represent. Lets see, they were formed in 2006 if I am correct, so five years they have been at this. 1600 members in five years, that's not even 1 a day. I am not even taking into account that not everyone on that list is an engineer, or an architect. |

Funny images Marokkan,
The majority of engineers think a better caption would be: Rapid onset, sounds of explosions, freefall, imploded, pyroclastic cloud, expert corroboration, foreknowledge. .. With an Ae911truth logo over the ostrich. The majority of engineers think a better caption would be: Rapid onset, sounds of explosions, freefall, imploded, pyroclastic cloud, expert corroboration, foreknowledge. I'm right you are wrong La La La la La La La i cant hear you! next to an Ae911truth logo Oh and by the way I got the list straight from ae911truth.org despite every one of them being totally debunked. They are your main reasons to believe: - Rapid onset, - sounds of explosions, - freefall, imploded, - pyroclastic cloud, - expert corroboration, - foreknowledge. I am not sure that anyone other than you and Tricky Dicky think that a bunch of 5 year old signatures means anything. I suspect if people wanted to understand how Dick Gage thinks they should read your arguments and logic. |

His history of arguing these things isn't the best. I've debated whether or not to give his points credit enough to "debate" with but it's kind of difficult when he either doesn't read, or can't interpret what's being posted for him. The link is to one of his arguably most entertaining examples, where every point that was addressed in response to him was either quote mined, or he drew something totally irrelevant and unexpected of the matter... Kind of like what's happening when people point out that Gage is a guy that didn't enter the truth movement until 2006 after hearing David Ray Griffin's radio show, and has done almost nothing but parrot Griffin's claims ever since (he's not a leader)

In fairness, there is more overlap between mechanical engineering and structural engineering than there is between structural engineering and physics, and a helluva lot more than between engineering and theology.
In Tony Szamboti's case however, he is an anti-semite. He has little to make his case with and when backed into a corner, which is really easy to do considering his field of expertise he has a history of calling his opponents jews, claiming they aren't real Americans and then running away. |

The trolls here can debate credentials until the cows come home.
The credentials of the members of ae911t are completely, utterly irrelevant. What is relevant are the ACTIONS taken by the very few "experts" in the group to bring the issues in front of a COMPETENT engineering body for review. As an example, the company for which I'm working has developed a cure for one of the most common heart ailments in the world. Nobody in the company is the slightest bit interested in signing a petition stating our support for our ideas. (Talk about useless...) Nobody in the company is the slightest bit interested in getting the opinions of podiatrists, putting dermatologists onto our board of advisers, or asking urologists to do the primary research. Nobody in the company is the slightest bit interested in presenting the info to anonymous amateurs on the internet. Or to lecture halls of college kids. Or presenting to biology undergrads, medical school students, interns, residents, psychiatrists, etc. Even tho these are people in "the medical profession", they are abject amateurs in the very specific field that matters. There is only one place and one audience that we are concerned about: the place is the highest prestige journals in the medical field. And the audience is the most prestigious, most experienced interventional cardiologists in the world. Which, because we know our results are solid, is exactly where we've been presenting. And we listen very carefully to their feedback, and respond to it completely & competently. We do not stick our fingers in our ears, or accuse them of being shills, if they express skepticism over some point. Nobody else's opinions matter in the slightest. Gage, Jones, Harrit, Szamboti, Cole, Chandler, etc. are the equivalent to "podiatrists". Their opinions are irrelevant. Their presentations on the internet are irrelevant. And none of those clowns has ever, or will ever attempt to get within a country mile of an experienced structural engineering review board. With good reason. They'd get laughed out of the room in about 2 minutes. If there were any real experts (i.e., structural engineers with 25+ years experience in skyscraper design & analysis) in AE911t, & they really thought that they had anything of substance, then they wouldn't waste one ounce of energy on the internet, college campuses, truther conventions, selling DVDs, or Bentham Open Access. They'd be gathering as many experts in the specific fields as possible to help, and be spending all their time preparing, polishing, peer reviewing first quality papers for publications. They'd be fighting to get in front of the highest competence structural engineers in the country. They'd be submitting their evidence to independent labs for confirmation. So, in 5 years, what have those few really done within the professional arenas that matter? Nothing. Not. One. Thing. And that tells anyone all they need to know about the integrity & the competence of AE911Truth. tk |

So what´s next, marokkaan?
250 manicurists for 9/11 truth? 190 carpenters for 9/11 truth? 344 cosmetic surgeons for 9/11 truth? 25 proctologists for 9/11 truth? (No wait, that cant happen, they know <snip> when they see them )77 busdrivers for 9/11 truth? According to your logic, the above must deserve just as much respect and should be listened to as any other profession. Cause if you are a professor of litterature fex, then you can be on the list of the 400 professors, ref the thread that is linked to in this thread. ![]()

tfk,
suppose the cure that your company has developed is very expensive, and is now recommended by the American Cardiological Society (or whatever the name of the professional body in the US is that would make such recommendations), a recommendation adopted by the medical establishment all over the world, and included by Health Insurers as a cure they are obliged to pay for. Suppose now there was a small group of physicians, whatever they specialisation be, who honestly think that this cure is craps and does not help at all and is nothing but a waste of money, would these contrarian medical professionals go to students of the humanities, hijack Tea Bagger demonstrations against socialised Health Care, put a petiton on the internet and ask pediatricians and orthopedists to sign? Or would they not rather give the Health Insurers a hint that they are paying billions in vain? Who would have more clout - angry college kids, or that part of the Health Industry that gets to pay for the whole stuff? Same with criticism of the NIST reports. Gage thinks the recommendations that were a result of the WTC studies are a waste of money. Real money payed by real companies. Why don't they go to the real companies that pay the extra real money because of the WTC reports, and convince them that they are paying billions of dollars in vain? Who would have more clout to bring the NIST reports down - angry college kids, or the Highrise Developers that get to pay for the whole stuff? The fact that highrise developers all around the world are not working to save billions of dollars by reversing NIST's recommendations is good evidence that they have found no fundamental fault with NIST's conclusions. |

Yea, but unless the developers contact the truthers in person and tell them they have found no fundamental fault with NIST's conclusions, truthers will assume they for whatever reason do find fault.
And, even if they for some stupid reason DO personally tell them, truthers will assume the developers actually secretly find fault, but are afraid to come forward. Rationalization ROCKS! Truthiness isn't the common cold; it's a cancer. |

Pilots, press, & doctors groups already exist apparently, and demand such respect, perhaps you haven't kept up to date with current times. Hell, Lawyers for 9/11truth now want attention
EDIT: Ah poop... Context was to a response made to post #101 by another member. The post I responded to went to AAH... so whatever... |

You are the King of FailVille - the place where epic failures of logic and reason go to die a slow death. That's your home, dude.
Every post you make is further evidence that you have no ability to reason, to use facts and intellect to persuade others of your unoriginal ideas. This OP was bad enough (you missed the point completely) but you STILL haven't understood that you failed on Oct 24. Truly pathetic. |

How much do you pay attention to detail? Your OP stated LEADING conspiracy theorists. LEADING conspiracy theorists! Got that? Can you say that these LEADING conspiracy theorists have backgrounds in engineering, construction, or related fields?
ETA: I see others have caught this detail as well. Marokkaan could you please respond to posts #84 or #85? They're the same...unless you have your head in the sand...but that is typical of you. |
