Geraldo Impressed by 1300 Architects and Engineers



And I can kind of see it from his standpoint. I mean, we've been around since the early days when Gage was claiming that insurance companies raised their premiums 2100 percent and thinking that the box demonstration was impressive, so we know it's just 1300 clowns in the circus, whereas Geraldo has none of that experience. He doesn't know about the swimming pool engineer or the HVAC engineer or the dental engineer who thinks it was done with beam weapons from space.

I find it somewhat amusing that within the Twoofer community, they're usually careful to label it '1300 architectural and engineering professionals', so as to avoid the criticism of their actual number of architects and engineers.

But as soon as they hit the MSM, it's all about inflating that number. I guess they know they won't be confronted by the reality.

The US scientific and engineering community consists of 600,000 members. As a result, if we divide the members of Gage's gaggle of charlatans by the number of members of the US scientific and engineering community and multiply the resulting ratio by 100 we can calculate the percentage of the community that supports the controlled demolition theory. Hence,

(1,368/600,000) * 100 = 0.23%

Thus, ae911truth's alleged membership doesn't reach the level of statistical significance.

So Geraldo thinks the troofers might have got case. Great. I look forward to Geraldo's own investigation into the 9/11 troof. Surely, he will take on this most important of issues. He will, won't he? Won't he?

Geraldo in no way prepared himself. Any real journalist will have a list of points based on research for a question like, "Your critics say x, y, & z about your position. How do you respond to that?". Just blindly saying people see them as quacks only underscores Geraldo's ineptitude.

I took Arabic back in the early 1980s. At that time Beruit was the big story with suicide truck bombers and the Israeli invasion. So Geraldo files a report for ABC's 20/20 and at one point we see him and his guide crouching for their lives and a hail of AK47 fire erupts from across the street.

Very dramatic.

The next week my Arabic teach, who was born and raised in Beruit, laughed about it all because the truth was that the building across the street was a firing range. It had been for some time too.

So Geraldo is either a fool or a liar. My guess, a little of both.

So this development is consistant with his asshattery.

Your fallacies are hilarious Pat. HVAC engineer? LOL! Pool engineer! ROFLMAO!

Structural engineers!?!? ROFLMAO@U!!

Surely there are NO structural engineers apart of this organzation. Oh wait, I just checked the membership list. Seems the joke is on you, Patty.

GuitarBill=The US scientific and engineering community consists of 600,000 members....
Interesting math. Too bad you can't cite the number out of 600,000 that have actually read the NIST reports, studied the event and evidence, read the peer reviewed papers from both sides, and arrived at a different conclusion such as those at Architects and Engineers.

Do you happen to have that number, Billy? Nevermind, I know you don't. Your spouting crap as usual.

Too bad the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth have not one structural engineer with the skill necessary to design a building over a couple of stories. In A&E 9/11 Truth world the opinions of the guy who designs decks at the local Home Depot is just as good as people who design hundred story office towers.

Funny how the real skilled structural engineers see nothing wrong in how the towers came down, and I am sure all of them have seen the footage.

This is the difference between debunkers and truthers themselves, and their so call experts, Quality of the people.

Ahh yes, because the size matters when it comes to how many stories one designs. In this equation, structural engineer Dave is more knowledgeable than structural engineer Brian because his design is 1 story taller. Never mind what the degrees from the Universities say. I guess your point is trashed.

Yes, we all do or we would be dead. But the point is, avi, GuitarBill tossed the math out to support his line of logic. I just destroyed his line of logic.

Logical fallacy: Straw man argument.

I never said a word about "the number out of 600,000 that have actually read the NIST reports, studied the event and evidence..."

Thus, you're misrepresenting my position and distorting my argument for the sole purpose of creating the illusion that you've refuted my proposition by substituting it with a superficially similar but unequivalent proposition and refuting it without refuting my original proposition--a naked straw man argument.

In fact, I'm a member of the scientific community. The size of the community--600,000--is well established and isn't subject to debate.

The number of scientists and engineers who have read the NIST Report has never been determined, and my proposition was not based on that mythical statistic. As a result, your fallacious argument is irrelevant.

The point--you fucking retard--was to show that ae911truth's membership is so small that it doesn't reach the level of statistical significance.

Furthermore, there's nothing "interesting" about the math. Calculating percentage is simple, and only troofers seem to have difficulty grasping such a simple concept:

(Part/Whole) * 100 = %

Now, if you can't debate in a logical and honest fashion, go play in the freeway, Brian (or whatever you're calling yourself this week.

Well Yes. You see if your were not so ignorant of basic physics, you would know as I do, that when you get into the territory of designing massive structures size does matter, you can't take plans for a two story home and simply scale it up and expect it to stand. REAL structural engineers know this and design accordingly. Apparently Richard Gage doesn't know this, ergo his little Box demonstration that cause such laughter with the bright folk.

That is why as a person of low intelligence you have such issues understanding stuff normal thinking people understand. I know this stuff is beyond your meager thinking ability so your will remain a sucker to the conspiracy theorist lies.

The 9/11 thing is his focus, too bad it is pure bullshit, but Brian knows the bullshit better than anyone. Kevin Ryan is his Judge Wopner, as is that other Rodriguez guy. The simpleton thinks he is doing something worthwhile, but its all in his poor fatuous brain.

This would explain why at 58 or so, he still has to live with mom and dad and his only useful skill is simple shit like mopping floors.

I can be an architect in only 2 years of junior college. Getting an engineering degree takes 4 to 6 years or so.

How A&E for 9/11 bullshit fails is that NONE of the engineers on their list is qualified to read the NIST report. To challenge that report requires that so much evidence be ignored, and so many fairy stories be accepted with zero evidence present.

To assume that all of the engineers who have not read the report are lazy is stupid. Engineers know other engineers, and the odds are good that in every engineering social circle there is at least one guy who has read the NIST report (either out of curiousity, or while in the process of risk evaluation). If there actually was a serious problem with the NIST report there would be serious noise about it.
Then there would be a responsible and well researched counter thesis.

The A&E 9/11 twats don't have a serious counter thesis. They cannot back up a single claim or theory. This should be the obvious red flag for any intellectually honest engineer, and this speaks to the caliber of those 1300 "professionals".

Even stuff like this you will not see from truthers

To The Editor:

Bronx: In boasting of his new World Trade Center building's safety, Larry Silverstein forgot to mention one thing: 7 WTC and the new towers will remain exempt, and therefore immune from all city building and fire codes, just like the old WTC was. How safe is that? Have Silverstein, Gov. Pataki and the Port Authority learned nothing from 9/11? Unfortunately, the families of the victims have learned plenty.

Garry, I would guess that local prosecutors plead lack jurisdiction, and federal prosecutors say murder is a state crime. The case was taken to Eliot Spitzer in 2004. His refusal to act on it can perhaps be explained by his ambition at the time to run for governor.

Dive Shyte, any idiot knows you can't simply scale up a structure. Gage's box demonstration has nothing to do with that concept, and if you had bothered to watch it instead of read about it on debunk-by-giggles sites, you would know that.

M. Gwegowy Fawwis, the counterthesis is that NIST stopped their analysis at the moment of collapse initiation, and thus with blatant dishonesty failed to even address their mission to explain the collapse.
They dodged the mystifying questions of symmetry, totality, pulverization, speed, and molten iron.

Dave, your inability to recognize that Fire Safety is a much bigger issue than "collapse from fire" is damning.

1. I'm not Brian. Two, there is no mis-representation.

2. Your logical assumption is that the all 600,000 members of the engineering community support NIST's conclusion. Why must you do that? So you can only use the Architects and Engineers as the only tiny sample that supports CD.

3. However, the logic is flawed because you DON'T know what all 600,000 members believe. You assume they support NIST. They may not.

So in that regards, your logic is an closed world assumption and is a fallacy.

You're lying again, Brian. And here's the proof.

Read on...

NIST wrote, "...Under contract to NIST, Leslie E. Robertson Associates (LERA) constructed a global reference model of each tower using the SAP2000, version 8, software. SAP2000 is a software package for performing finite element calculations for the analysis and design of building structures. These global, three-dimensional models encompassed the 110 stories above grade and the 6 subterranean levels...LERA's work was reviewed by independent experts in light of the firm's earlier involvement in the WTC design. It was that earlier work, in fact, that made LERA the only source that had the detailed knowledge of the design, construction, and intended behavior of the towers over their entire 38-year life span."

I know you consider obliviousness to facts to be a strong rhetorical position. The problem with that is that only the dumb ones follow you: "Gosh, he seems so sure of himself, he must be right!"

Seek professional help.

Right. Nobody cares that GutterBall lies, and nobody cares that you lie. 9/11 Lies are just A-OK with everybody here--except me.

Actually, you're the only one lying about 9/11.

Bugfuck whines, "...GutterBall, LERA did not just "provide information to further an investigation". They had a contract."

I don't care if LERA had a contract, bug.fuck.

LERA was asked to provide data that only LERA could provide. That makes LERA an expert witness--nothing more, nothing less.

That Dr. Harris was appointed to an unpaid position on a committee does not prove that he's controlled or influenced by NIST.

Furthermore, your opinion is not evidence.

Now, either provide evidence to substantiate your asinine claims, or STFU.

Bug.fuck prevaricates, "...Nobody cares that GutterBall lies..."

I don't lie, bug.fuck, and you can't provide one instance where I've ever told a lie.

Claiming that someone "lies" without providing evidence to substantiate your assertion (heavy emphasis on ass when dealing with bug.fuck) is slander.

Now, either substantiate your slanderous assertions, or STFU.

It is silly of you to insist that LERA's contract with NIST is not a conflict of interest.

In matters of conflict of interest, nothing need be proven--it is a matter of professional ethics to avoid even the appearances of conflict of interest.

You've lied when you claim that Dr. Harris is an independent engineer. You've lied when you claim that Robertson and Kausel are independent. Your tolerance for Ian's obvious lies represents a form of lying as well.

Also, given your childish behavior I can be very confident that you've lied about most of the engineers you've named--probably none of them has ever endorsed the NIST report.

False, false, and false. We've named independent engineers. It's not our fault that you reject them because accepting them would be destructive to the only thing that gives your life meaning.

Nobody cares about what a sex stalker and lunatic is "confident" about.

GutterBall named engineers who may be independent. I haven't bothered to check because the first four I checked has conflicts of interest vis a vis NIST.

You'll have to show that the allegedly independent engineers actually endorsed the NIST report before I'll waste any time on checking them.

Those first four he named were independent. Also, my Uncle Steve is independent.

Bill already did, and my Uncle Steve did too. You lose again, Brian, just like you lost in your quest for Willie's love.

Ian, not even you can possibly be dumb enough to belief that an anonymous internet poster's anecdote about his anonymous "Uncle Steve" should be considered evidence of anything.

Regardless of what my Uncle Steve believes, you're never going to get your new investigation, are you?

HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Brian "petgoat" Good loses again.

I see all the NEOCONS on here who love the lies the GOVT. Spews, have no facts, but are really good at name calling. I doubt any of you losers are Architects or Engineers, otherwise you would understand buildings don't experience global, simultaneous collapse in 15 secs. from a supposed diesel tank fire and neatly fall on it's own footprint in seconds. You are all too busy watching Football and American Idol. Bunch of Cowards. Bunch of Losers. None with remotely a science background or understand elemental physics. You are all Pathetic. By the way, get a life!

Gutter Ball you are playing out of your ass. You are a Gutter, I mean a guitar player and IT Tech?
How the hell do you know if NIST is telling the Truth? You know nothing of Structures.
A third grader has more sense that you, to know WTC7 was IMPLODED.

YOU FRUITCAKE.

You are a Total Moron, you said you can be an Architect in 2 years of Junior College? Try again.

It takes a BA or MA in an Accredited University, then a 3 year Intern Developement Program in a Firm, then passing a test that takes 2 years to complete.

I bet you all love Military Weapons?? Killing and destruction... yeah....
You sound really stupid.

Even the N.I.S.T. admitted that the Twin Towers “collapsed” at freefall rate. People in the reality-based community should have no problem whatsoever in realizing that the uppermost portion of a skyscraper is not going to be able to “fall” into and THROUGH the remaining vast majority of solid building as quickly, meaning as effortlessly as falling through air without something else (i.e. explosives) reducing said majority of building to such a state of offering no more resistance than air. Can we all agree on that? Sounds pretty straightforward; solid things offer vastly more resistance than air. Anyone who graduated elementary school SHOULD be able to grasp this, and SHOULD be able to therefore grasp that the Twin Towers and WTC # 7 building had to have been controlled demolitions. It is literally COMMON SENSE.
