History Began at 8:46 AM on a Tuesday Morning

At least, that's the impression you'd get from watching this (short) video.

The video claims that the "myths" of 9-11 (that the buildings collapsed because of the fires and that Osama Bin Laden was behind it) were planted in the public's mind by the media carefully and deliberately. Hilariously, the guy acts as if Osama was completely unknown in America prior to 9-11. In fact, he was already wanted for the bombings of US embassies in Africa in 1998, when a two-page feature appeared on him in Time. Indeed, that wanted poster that the Deniers love to point out does not contain mention of 9-11, does mention the embassy bombings:

USAMA BIN LADEN IS WANTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE AUGUST 7, 1998, BOMBINGS OF THE UNITED STATES EMBASSIES IN DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA, AND NAIROBI, KENYA. THESE ATTACKS KILLED OVER 200 PEOPLE. IN ADDITION, BIN LADEN IS A SUSPECT IN OTHER TERRORIST ATTACKS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.


As for the fires (combined with the damage from the impact of the planes) bringing down the buildings, the filmmaker apparently thinks that had this one rescue worker not mentioned it, perhaps 9-11 Troof would have caught on with the public sooner. But even David Ray Griffin would probably have speculated that cause on 9-11; by his own account he didn't even suspect the "New Pearl Harbor" until a year afterwards.

It's quite odd.

In their world, the WTC was never attacked by al-Qaeda linked terrorists almost a decade before 9/11.

How People Are Influenced by Fear

Bg, you do realize the Truthers are fear-mongers, right?

I try not to generalize more than is appropriate.

I think many of the truthers are fakes or operatives. Yes I agree fearmongering is a very effective tool used at this blog, as well as by the 911 truth infiltrators.

Here's is list (not meant to be comprehensive) who have not been fearmongers:

Webster Tarpley (although I definitely have probs who some of his approach)

Steven Jones

DR Griffin

Loose Change Crew

Rick Siegal

Sofpia

Bob Bowman (don't like him, but no fear mongering)

Fetzer (big problems, but won't label him a fear mongerer)

Nico Haupt (combative, not a fear mongerer)

Webfairy

Barrie Zwicker

Kevin Ryan

Mike Ruppert (except for peak oil arguments)

I realise the the RBN and GCN radio networks are all about scaring people to create an interest and demand for the products that their advertisers sell.

I realize rense.com is about fear mongering as well.

The truth about 9/11 is indeed shocking and scary, so it's not always easy to discuss.

People who clearly cross the line into fearmongering include John Conner.

This is just off the top of my head

Oh yeah Pat and James are really throwing fear around.

As to your list - they're all fear mongers.

By saying the government committed 9/11 they are fear mongering. They are enciting the fear of other people for authority into cash and fame.

Anyone, including James and Pat, who have studied 9/11, and continue to support the offical story, are fearmongering.

BG, the "official story" is this mythic construct you fools have set up. Just by using the term you are guilty of using the ad hominem logical fallacy.

So now telling historical truth is fearmongering. Boy, you sure are bright.

The arguments that the video put foward, in the part I watched, were just ludicrous. Very much clutching at straws.

I stopped watching half-way through because I felt the lack of IQ being transmitted over time.

In the second clip the video shows, where a guy in the studio is being asked his opinion on whether he thinks that just the impacts and fires could've caused the buildings to collapse, and the creator of the video seriously poses the question of "How could he have known all this information so soon after the event?" had me choking on my food.

The guy mentioned that the velocity of the planes (which is evident in videos of the 2nd tower being hit), structural damage this did (which is evident from the gaping holes in the buildings, dislodged outer columns and the amount of debris on the ground) and fire weakening the structure (which is hardly a 9/11-specific statement of fact - fire weakens structures. Any expert will tell you that).

Furthermore, according to the video's creator, words like 'rescue worker', 'firefighter' and 'police officer' class as emotive language.

They classify as job titles, nothing more.

Worst Troofer video to date.

Really? How about you fruitcakes come up with some REAL EVIDENCE (as opposed to just making stuff up) to support your alternatives to the "official story"?

What a simple hilarious "video" of the delusions of a pure nutbag.

Notice this:

This loon thinks that Dan Rather "wrote" his stuff in advance.

That CBS News had a terrorism expert who worked for Guiliani in New York City is deemed "suspicious."

That a witness who saw both planes hit the towers and watched the fires burn and then watched the towers collapse is doubted because he actually witnessed something. Imagine, if you will, that someone comes upon a group of people murdering someone to death. The group runs away. The witness tells the police he saw a group stabbing a man to death. Would that be suspicious - or is it merely a witness to a crime telling what they saw?

That the schmuck cannot even spell "inquiry" (which he spelled "inquirry") correctly.

That someone who called firemen and policemen "heroes" is deemed to be suspicious.

And, according to this nut, this all means the 9/11 stories were "written in advance."

In short, whoever made this film is insane. End of argument.

I don't think this one's lobotomy worked.
