Gravy Debunks the Idiots at Ground Zero

And amazingly, they film it and put it up on the web (Quicktime file) thinking it helps their cause. By the way, the Denier who seems reasonable (brings up Paul Thompson), really isn't if you check the TruthMove site that he mentions.

• For over an hour, NORAD air defense failed to intercept any of the hijacked aircraft. Fighter jets are commonly "scrambled" and reach out-of-contact or off-course aircraft within 10-20 minutes.


That's their first piece of "evidence" and it's garbage. As we have discussed many times, the most famous recent incident of an "out-of-contact or off-course" aircraft was Payne Stewart's Learjet; in that case the fighter jets reached it in 81 minutes, not 10-20 minutes.

bg;

Mark goes at thses guys with the vigor of someone who was profoundly effected by the events of 9/11, and deeply insulted by people who use soddy evidence and non-expert opinion to make their points. He can get it their face, yes, and give as good as he gets, yes, but he does so because he believes strongly in what he says, and in almost all cases has strong, solid evidence to back up his opinions. I mean he carries a binder with him, which holds his evidence. More than the truthers at GZ who simply spue their claims without the slightest bit of proof.

TAM,

Maybe your words swayed somebody's opinion of Mark. I doubt it.

Mark does not say in that video, nor have I seen him say anywhere else, that the official handling of 9/11 and the official govt. story of 9/11 are bogus. Regardless of whether you disagree with Loose Change claims or other's claims, agreeing that there is a lot that stinks about the way the aftermath of 9/11 has been handled is the beginning of honesty and responsible rhetoric.

TAM,

Take a crack at my trivia question, won't you?

Way to quote mine you cocksucker.

THE world may be better off if Osama Bin Laden remains at large, according to the Central Intelligence Agency’s recently departed executive director.

If the world’s most wanted terrorist is captured or killed, a power struggle among his Al-Qaeda subordinates may trigger a wave of terror attacks, said AB “Buzzy” Krongard, who stepped down six weeks ago as the CIA’s third most senior executive.


And you have the gall to make fun of Loose Change for their inaccuracy? Buddy, if anything, you're even MORE useless than Dylan and Corey.

I posted this on 911 Conspiracy Smasher:

Mancow, whose radio show is
apparently not available in New York, featured a debate between a NYC firefighter and a conspiracy liar, Kevin Smith, on his Fox special Sunday night. I sent him the e-mail reproduced below right after the show ended. This morning, I was awakened by a call from his producer who asked me to chat with Mancow on the radio. A old friend who now lives in Tennessee just phoned to tell me that he heard the interview. We agreed that the loons are despicable frauds, but I was delighted that something provoked him to look me up.

My thanks to Mancow for being on the right side of this silly controversy.

Here is my e-mail:

Dear Mancow,

I watched with dismay the "debate" you staged between a NYC fireman and Kevin Smith. You are, in my judgment, a well-intentioned guy, but like other hosts of FOX news shows, you simply underestimate the damage caused by allowing the conspiracy frauds to promote their pernicious message.
9/11 lunacy has seeped into the mainstream, polluting it. These people are not merely crackpots: they are truly despicable liars who say obscene things.
So far, I have done nothing but call names. Understandably, you are growing bored and want to know if their dishonesty can be demonstrated in a short segment. Here is a crash course in how to do it:
James Fetzer, a leading loon, contends that Donald Rumsfeld "stole" 2.3 trillion (that's not a typo) dollars from the Pentagon budget and needed an excuse to crash a plane into the building, presumably killing all the accountants (as that old commercial said, you can't make this stuff up). But Fetzer's source for this stunning information turns out to be... Donald Rumsfeld himself! The Secretary of Defense gave a speech the day before the jihadist attacks lamenting the antiquated state of Pentagon data storage systems. He complained of such disarray that it was impossible to account for 2.3 trillion dollars in transactions over the years. The total defense budget is 289 BILLION dollars, so we begin to see how insane Fetzer's original accusation was. Now, tell me, is Fetzer, who holds a PhD in philosophy, an illiterate moron or is he peddling snake oil to what he judges to be a hopelessly obtuse bunch of rubes?
Then there is another favorite canard of the tinfoil-hat brigade: Larry Silverstein, we are informed over and over, told a fire chief to "pull it," meaning to blow up one of his properties, WTC 7. That Silverstein should be giving away the whole conspiracy on television is, perhaps, a tad suspicious, but we'll let that pass. At some point, it must occur to a few of us that blowing up buildings is not a job the NYC Fire Department routinely performs. We dig a little deeper and discover that "pull it" is NOT, in fact, demolition industry jargon for "blow up the building." The phrase does have a specific meaning: to attach cables and literally PULL over the structure, but that procedure failed when attempted with the remains of WTC 6 and cannot be applied to such a large structure as the 47-story WTC 7. For his part, Silverstein insists that he was clearly indicating that, in view of the dangers, the contingent of firefighters should be pulled from the building.
The conspiracists chant their "proof" that Silverstein ordered his building to be "pulled" as a mantra, although they certainly understand that they simply invented out of whole cloth their false meaning of the term. They are not making an honest error. They understand perfectly well that their spin is bogus. There is no misunderstanding here: what we are getting is pure propaganda.
Smith claims that the "science" supports his insane fantasies. In reality, the real science contradicts him on every point. But--I must stress--you have to KNOW why his disinformation is wrong.
When Smith pretends that he regards firemen, or any other patriots, as heroes, you must be prepared to ask if him the anguished phone calls from the doomed planes were faked or not. If not, his whole conspiracy collapses like a house of cards. He believes, however, that those heartrending conversations were diabolical fakes, produced by the gubmint using futuristic voice-morphing technologies. This crap would be laughable if it were less sickening.
I hate mounting a soapbox foaming at the mouth, attempting to drown out the other raving lunatics, but these bastards MUST be exposed. Insinuating that they are cranks won't do. You need the knowledge to show exactly why their "facts" are falsehoods and their cause is an evil one. I can do it: I have done it (see the Google video of my debate with Les Jamieson on the libertarian cable show I occasionally host, 'Hardfire'). I want to see you do it because it's terribly important.

Best Regards,
Ronald Wieck

I have a mentally ill cousin. He's a smart guy, but seriously mentally ill. On lots of meds, living in a group home... the works.

I see him maybe 2-3 times a year. His behavior is startingly close to the truthers. To his credit, he doesn't believe any 9/11 CT's (he has a huge list of other paranoid delusions though). The thing is, we can all quickly and easily tell when he is off his meds (happens quite a bit), because when he's off his meds, he doesn't realize that he is mentally ill. When he's on his meds, he REALIZES that he has paranoid delusions, delusions of grandeur, and other psychotic behaviors. But when he's off his meds, he will sit and talk to you, in a very stable and pseudo intelligent way, about all kinds of crazy shit. He's not someone that needs a padded room mind you, he seems somewhat rational, until you actually listen to what he is saying. There are really no (that I am aware of) outward signs that he's off his meds, like disheveled clothes, or lack of grooming. No, he looks that same, but he'll start talking, calmly, cooly, and authoratatively about some of the absolute kookiest shit you've ever heard.

When he's on his meds, he'll actually acknowelege that he is ill, and that the things he rants about are part of his illness. Off his meds, he ACTUALLY BELIEVES he is 100% sane.

BG so reminds me of him its scary.

Calling you mentally ill is TOTALLY called for, BECAUSE YOU ARE MENTALLY ILL!

I know you don't believe it, thats why you truly, truly need serious psychiatric help.

You need to be on anti-psychotic meds.

I am not kidding. I am not insulting. You seriously need mental help, and I truly pray you get it.

I'm not "stooping" to anything. Any sane person can immediately tell that you are seriously mentally ill. Someone in your group of friends and family must have told you this before. Be honest, haven't they? I know you just ignored them, like you do whenever anyone here destroys any of your arguements with those pesky facts. Or do you just pretend they didn't say it? Like you also do here all the time.

Seriously, I'm not arguing anything. I am begging you to get the mental help you so desperately need.

You're not like many of the other CTers that are driven by anti-semitism or anti-americanism. You aren't like the many who just want to feel superior to the "sheeple" or who enjoy "raging against the machine". You don't want to just upset other posters , you seriously believe the crap you are spewing, and can't understand why everyone else doesn't see it as you do.

No, you are different, and I can see it. You are seriously mentally ill, and your posts reflect it.

I've shown my wife many of your posts and responses. She agrees, and she's a clinical psychologist.

YOU NEED MENTAL HELP.

You need to be on strong anti-psychotic meds. It will truly help you.

No one knows with 100% certainty that Darwin's theory of evolution is what ACTUALLY happens in terms of life on earth, but the majority of sane, thinking individuals, at least in the scientific community, believe his theory to be true.

Likewise, the most reasonable, sensible, understandable theory as to what happened that day, by a mile, is the official story, with some minor exceptions, mainly related to foreknowledge.

So much like my crazy cousin, its actually scary.

My cousin does EXACTLY the same thing when he's off his meds.

He'll print out web pages, talk about "inconsistencies", but never offer a real theory. He always feels its self evident after he shows you his irrational info. He'll always ask you to explain why something or other didn't happen they way he feels it should have. And the smallest incongruity makes him SURE there is a conspiracy.

Then when you ask exactly what he thinks the conspiracy is, he claims that he doesn't know the full extent of the plans, just that there is one.

Sound familiar?

You don't even think the questions in the FOIA request are of any consequence right?

Correct. This dumb broad can't even decide whether she beleives that flight 93 was shot down, or that it landed in Cleveland. She makes BOTH CLAIMS IN THE SAME ARTICLE. So no, her FOIA request is of no consequence whatsoever.

How careful has your research been if you don't even think there are reasonable unresolved issues about what really happened on 9/11?

Careful enough to realize that most twoofers are lunatics.

You'd have to be an idiot not to realize that every single incident in history, from a car crash to a world war, could have the exact same types of "inconsistencies" pointed out about it. It would also take an idiot not to realize that minor inconstancies are not valid grounds for accusing your government of mass murder, nor are they a reason to dwell on a matter which has already been settled. I'm just surprised that you're not a creationist BG - their methods and yours are absolutely identical.

Lavoisier,

I've covered this before....here in comments at this blog.

1) I believe the hijackers were patsies, like Oswald was a patsie in the JFK Assassination.

If you don't understand what I'm saying here (what is based on years of JFK plot research), it isn't any wonder why you would be as clueless as you seem to be.

2) I don't have any idea who the "low level" actors were.

3) I don't dispute that some or all of the FBI named individuals match identities of actual Muslims or agents of some sort. The evidence for "multiple Attas" is particularly strong.

The only reason that can explain why you should be asking me this can only be explained by the fact that you haven't done crap for your own research.

My entire point with the Darwin reference, was to point out that as a society, or as intellectuals, we do not need to have an absolute 100% answer all the time, in terms or theory as to how this or that happened.

An example, is Darwin's theory. It is still a theory, a most likely explanation, yet most rational people consider it next to scientific law. Why, because the evidence in favor of it is so strong and overwhelming.

I compare this to the 9/11 attacks. IMO, and the opinion of the majority of america, the overwhelming evidence points to 19 Islamic Extremists hijacking 4 airliners and ramming them into their targets (75%) or into the ground (25%). The towers collapsed, most believe, through a combination of extermely hot fires, covering 8-10 floors each, and severe damage to the support structure and fireproofing from the jet impacts. They believe AA77 hit the pentagon. They believe UA 93 was brought down by the passengers.

The evidence is overwhelming, IMO, and hence I do not need it to be proven with 100% certainty, to accept it as fact.

As for research, I do research for a living. So I'm pretty sure I know the difference between good research and bad research. And I can tell you that the 9/11 "truth" movement is RIFE with POOR research methodologies, sources, etc.

Lavoisier said... ,

you asked me about the planes.

1) If I didn't have other seemingly strong evidence about the whole event of 9/11, I would simply say I don't know. I find the evidence that has been made available more convincing that the alleged flights did not

a) hit the Pentagon
b) crash in PA.

The thing is, the plane ('93) could have broken up in some form that could possibly explain the lack of wreckage at the Shanksville site.

Taken in the context of all the information that has been brought forth about 9/11, I believe that none of the flights crashed where they were alleged to have crashed.

I find the idea that any of the flights were piloted by the "hijackers" an unlikely truth as well.

My big issue is not that you have to agree with me on any of this.

My big issue is that we have had a cover-up Commission.

I believe the hijackers were patsies, like Oswald was a patsie in the JFK Assassination.

So how does that square with you once claiming that 757 wreckage was planted at the Pentagon?

6:58 PM


I remember the strut that you pointed out in a pentagon picture.

I did not ever agree that picture was a 757 strut. I agree that there is some resemblance.

The overall evidence "trumps" this small anomoly.

OK. 3) Where are the people on the planes? And what about their cell phone calls?

 
At 28 November, 2006 19:59, Blogger Lavoisier said...

And wait - so did planes hit the Twin Towers? Why would planes hit the towers but not the other locations? Your answer above was quite confusing...

I understand why you are confused.

My best guess is that aircraft hit each of the towers, but the objects that hit the towers were not the "hijacked" jetliners.

I have nothing further to say about phone calls from the planes: mobile phone, seat-back, or galley. This subject has been beat to death. I think it was a worthy question, but nothing is hinging on it.

I fully admit what I'm alleging "sounds crazy". I don't claim to have anywhere near all the puzzle pieces.

I am stating all of the above knowing it leaves me wide open for
derision.

I don't consider myself a "lead researcher". I do believe that many of us are following a trail provided by the physical evidence combined with all the other surrounding factors.

So then, you can probably understand why everyone here generally disregards the conspiracy theories - we pick the theory that is the most fleshed out, that makes the most sense, is the most intelligible, that the available evidence MOST supports.

Sure, there are "anomalies" and "weird coincidences" - but if you study any major (or even minor) events, you will see that these ALWAYS happen, but they don't automatically mean that the official story is wrong. Sometimes, things just don't make sense; contingency is inherently unexplainable by definition. Nonetheless, we use IBE (inference to the best explanation) - we pick the theory that best fits the data. And that is the official story.

While the official story may or may not have "holes," the conspiracy theories are RIDDLED with holes, inconsistencies, errors, etc. Why would we select the CTs over the OS? Except if we had an axe to grind, we wanted to rage against the machine, etc.?

 
At 28 November, 2006 22:03, Blogger Lavoisier said...

It reminds me of the debate between Michael Shermer (evolutionist) and Kent Hovind (creationist).

Shermer's main talking point was that Hovind's explanation was: I don't understand this, it doesn't make sense, this is an anomaly, a "hole" in the official story of evolution, so THEREFORE "Evolution is wrong; God did it." Shermer's point was that it was NOT an explanation of anything. It's a God of the Gaps argument and ultimately useless.

It seems that the "Truth" movement does the same thing. If there is something that is strange, or kind of funky, that is not completely explainable without a shadow of the doubt, the movement cries out "The Government did it!" My response, and I'm sure Shermer's response, would be: that's not an explanation!

The message to the 9/11 "Turth" Movement is simple: Give us some POSITIVE evidence, a THEORY. Not just pointing out little holes and crying out "Big Brother did it!" Unfortunatley for them, they will not be able to do this, because no theory will ever make sense or fit the data like the OS does. Period.

As you may imagine, my evaluation is that when you talk about there being questions or oddities with any event, the concept of scale applies.

The evidence supporting controlled demolition or blowing to kingdom come of WTC 1,2, and the evidence of controlled demolition of WTC 7 is massively inconsistent with the official story.

The Pentagon evidence is massively inconsistent with the official story.

The conspiracy liar BG, having been utterly routed on the facts, is in full retreat. He continues to cite Tarpley's worthless drivel, although when he linked to a specific chapter, it turned out to contain the same recycled, thoroughly debunked nonsense we've seen a thousand times.

His "research" into the JFK assassination, for obvious reasons, ignores all the serious researchers in the field. Oswald was the patsy of his own internal demons and no one else. He was the shooter and he acted alone. Case still closed, as Posner put it.

Bg's "evidence" for controlled demolition remains to be seen. None of the silly, uninformed fabrications by the fantasists have survived contact with reality.

Bg has been exposed as a fraud.

You are so right. I'm a fraud. I'll disappear into a pool of shame.

Not.

The true test for any reader here is the following:

Review the evidence and watch the video of WTC 7.

If you think it's reasonable for this controlled demolition to have happened at 5:20 on the afternoon of 9/11/2001, join in with the voices of libel here at this blog.

If you don't think it's reasonable for this to have happened, ask why these otherwise upstanding men and women are viciously verbally attacking someone who is simply asking for the truth.

This BG guy is whakey as they come. Like all the toofers they ignore everything that does not support their whak theories, most of them are not qualified to even have an opinion.

There are no benchmarks for these crashes to use as a baseline so every conspirisy expert can come out of the woodwork with silly theories and completly avoid the true facts and never give their qualifications to spew these theories, they just spew what ever theory that suits their agenda.

"Tell us that story."

As you would have seen if you have been reading my comments here and elsewhere, I have listed Tarpley's book as a compelling narrative.

I don't agree with everything offered in the book, but as a narrative to fill the need, it is a starting point.

If you chose not to read that book, and enjoy spending your time bashing me, to each his own.

I appreciate the interest from those of you who seem to be pushing for me to share more speculation about 9/11.

My purpose here at this blog has nothing to do with my own speculations. When pushed before, I shared admittedly unproven possibilities. I see no reason to go further, as I don't think I have any innate knowledge or understanding. I don't think my speculations stand out fundamentally from many others who have made speculation.

My attempt is to maintain a line between what are legit questions, and what are, for the most part, speculations.

I don't expect much honest discussion here in giving my aspirations credit. The fact that many of you here seem to be denying that there are gapping holes in the govt. story, or saying yes there are holes, but so what, closes the case that your rhetoric is not based on a good faith effort to discuss the truth of the matter.

WTC 7 comes down to this:

You either believe the testimony of those who were (1) there that day or (2) worked on the investigation, and use this testimony in cohorts with the evidence...this will certainly lead you to the official story conclusion (read Mark Roberts Paper for details on all aspects of WTC7 from firemen, rescue workers, NIST/FEMA).

Or, you watch the video, and having no other reference in history for the collapse of a 47 storey building, assume based on the video alone, that it must have been CD, despite a plethora of testimony and scientific investigation pointing away from this conclusion.

I chose the first option myself.

I see no reason to go further, as I don't think I have any innate knowledge or understanding. I don't think my speculations stand out fundamentally from many others who have made speculation.

So, you're basically telling us this: I don't really know any theory, I'm just speculating. If you pushed me further, I couldn't tell you anything that I'm sure about. I'm just asking questions.

Stunning.

The funny thing is that we can all tell you a story: give you hard facts, evidence, and a narrative. All of which you CANNOT give, and admittedly so. So why should we give your work any credit whatsoever?

Why don't you come back when you have something other than "speculation" and "unproven possibilities" - and especially when you realize that "I see no reason to go further" will NEVER cut it in any type of research investigation. What are you, a researcher, or a speculator, who just asks questions? If you were the former, you would see a reason to go further because that's what inquiry IS.

My attempt is to maintain a line between what are legit questions, and what are, for the most part, speculations.
Sounds nice, but I don't see this in action. You've made up your mind that the government "did it." It's pretty obvious. So now the legit questions you are willing to ask target the OS, while you level no such "legit questions" at your own conspiracy theories.

I don't expect much honest discussion here in giving my aspirations credit. The fact that many of you here seem to be denying that there are gapping holes in the govt. story, or saying yes there are holes, but so what, closes the case that your rhetoric is not based on a good faith effort to discuss the truth of the matter.

The only discussion you will find "honest" is if we said "OMG BG you are so right, that is sure a strange anomaly, PARADIGM SHIFT!!!11" You are not looking for dialogue as we understand it; dialogue to you is us accepting your work as true, in some sense.

And about seeking the truth of the matter - I wasn't aware that this was what you are doing. I thought you were just asking questions but that you saw the need to "go no further?"

I have asked every denier I have come across to give me their qualifications
to do anaylsis and not one was qualified to look at a vid, pik or anything and
give a point by point anaylsis. The only thing that qualified them for anything
was to C&P the same BS over and over, ask dumb questions and say nothing
in 500 words.

None have any experience in:
Mechanical design
Building design
Building demolition
Building construction
Aircraft crashes
I could go on but you get the picture.
Instead of asking stupid questions, I would love to see them give a detailed explaination
of their theories and back them up with hard facts instead of the same BS.

I would love to see the benchmarks for these crashes to use as a baseline.
None of these people understand the construction of the towers, if they did their questions would all be answered. For example, the core girders were bolted
together in 36' sections creating weak spots. There are piks of the core girders with
4 holes in them where they were bolted together and it also shows the bent bolts that
tied them together

Fiterman Hall at 30 West Broadway across the street from WTC 7 was so badly
damaged it has to be demolished. WTC 7 did not fall straight down, it fell to the southwest.
The pile was neither little nor convenient; it took over 8 months to clean up the
World Trade Center site with crews working 24 hours a day. And while the
collapse appeared to take about 6 seconds, seismic readings recorded an event
lasting for 18 seconds.

I posted this on 911 Conspiracy Smasher earlier today:

...Do you really think that the conspiracy liars actually swallow their own snake oil? They are in this game because they hate America--period! The lunacy regarding the collapse of WTC 7 illustrates my case. Here is a building unknown to almost everybody living outside NYC. It falls hours after the collapse of the main buildings and no one is killed. What remotely plausible, barely conceivable, role could this event play in the Impossibly Vast Conspiracy's grand scheme?

It would be obvious to any bright child that bringing down WTC 7 accomplishes exactly nothing. The loons can spend years constructing one ludicrous, fantastically over-complicated Rube Goldberg device after another to make blatant nonsense appear plausible, but they always fail. The whole concept is just too dumb (Occam's Razor, and all that).

Everybody gets the idea that the collapse of WTC is a square peg that simply doesn't fit the round hole the nutters keep trying to pound it into.

Chf, your comments are right on the money. All conspiracists cling to the childish fantasy that a group of all-knowing, supremely powerful adults control every aspect our lives. If only these shadowy entities could be appeased, or shamed into doing the right thing, all would be well.

Conspiracists are terrified by the randomness of reality. When a shocking event occurs, such as the jihadist attacks of 9/11/01, someone simply HAD to be pulling the strings.
Conspiracy theories offer an easy, mindless alternative to real knowledge. Why spend years studying history if the key to the universe is at hand? You can understand everything that has ever happened, is happening now, or will happen in the future by simply invoking the Illuminati, or the Masons, or the Bilderbergers, or the Trilateral Commission, or the Zionists, or whatever.

Manny, so help me, one loon actually tried to slip this idiocy by me. Yeah, sure, it's easier to blow up the whole building than to put the stuff in a cardboard box. Anyone can see that.

"honest discussions"

As much as you may be surprised, I give this blog credit for legit, honest posts and mostly honest discussions with respect to the various video incarnations called "Loose Change".

It is only when we get to documents such as the Pentagon debunking (just posted), and Gravy's WTC 7 debunking, that I believe there is a lack of full intellectual honesty.

Defending NIST's findings has been the ultimate intellectual dishonesty.

Yes, Bg, we understand your indignation about the rationalists' lack of intellectual honesty. Not that you and your fellow liars are complete intellectual frauds or anything, but what errors have you found in the NIST report?
Hey, I'll bet you were impressed by the dashing figure Fetzer cut in his debate with J.R. Dunn over what flew into the Pentagon. See americanthinker.com and search for J.R. Dunn for the details. It ain't pretty.
