mkp,

Firstly don't be so hard on yourself - you have a right to mistrust government(s), and no-one should blame you for doing so.

I'm not sure what you specifically mean by the alternative media - probably the fact that it sounds so incredibly far fetched that it surely can't be true(similar to Aardvarks argument I responded to) but as you say
"That doesn't mean they weren't." - you see my point.......

I agree with you how closed some peoples minds seem to be on this issue in favour of the official version - for someone that watches the BBC(for example) as their only news source that is understandable.

But like you say, they are the same media source who are reporting Building 7 coming down 20 minutes before it fell, so you have to ask yourself, if they are prepared to lie or distort the truth about one thing, what else are they prepared to lie about ? Ah "conspiracy theory" I hear people say - no that's that's just common sense - in the law courts do we accept testimony from people who have found to be lying under oath ? We most certainly do not and for good reason......

I am glad you are looking at the hard facts - everyone should, and to be fair to AJ, he has repeatedly stated that this is what he does, and anyone who looks into can juge for themselves, by not beleiving him and looking into the claims for themselves.

You say "I haven't seen any solid 100% proof to say they were blown up. "

have you seen these ? (just a few)

Alex Jones at Ground Zero: The Use Of Explosives In the 9/11 Attack
NYPD Officer Heard Building 7 Bombs
9/11 explosives, controlled demolition

Whether you think this is 100% proof or not I don't know but maybe there's something there you haven't seen.....

Don't second guess yourself because you are spot on in your analysis:

"To bring a building down that cleanly, takes serious work normally. Making sure all the main supports fail at the same time and that other pieces collapse neatly and in total symmetry, would take real expertise."

I mean, if that isn't enough Larry Silverstein has admitted the building was "pulled" (the term they use in the industry meaning controlled demolition)

Silverstein, FDNY Decided to 'Pull WTC 7': An In-Depth Analysis

Bear in mind if these so called "conspiracy theories" lack credibility they would have been disproven with science, but instead they are labelled as conspiracy.

Yes if we accept that there was something very evil that occured, then it is unpallatable, but it is the truth I'm afraid, whether we like it or not....

I have to confess, I have to stop my utter distrust of government (thanks to governments being proven to be full of liars and scumbags for most of human history) bluring my judgement on this one.

Just as the MSM sickens me with its bias and obvious manipulation, I see the same sort of thing from the "alternate media" too. They play them at their own game sometimes, using fear of the unknown to push their beleifs and ergo agenda on everyone else.

Sorry, but just as it bamboozles me how closed some peoples minds seem to be on this issue in favour of the official version (IE the one handed to us by our wholesome government and MSM), I also see worrying signs from the other side too. Sorry youcanhandle the truth, but you seem like an Alex Jones "zombie" or "sheep" to me. Instead of following the official line, you seem to be happy to blindly follow the AJ line instead.

I feel a lot of empathy with what AJ and by proxy you say. I think he hits on a lot of issues that need further looking at. However, there is a lot of stating things as fact, that clearly aren't fact, just hypothesis. I understand the urge to balance the official propaganda, but you can look as biased as them at the end of the day, just at the other end of the spectrum.

Thus I have tried to blot out what both sides say on this issue and look at the video and hard facts available.

Doing that, for the main towers, it was strange, but they were big strange buildings and the way they came down was weird. There is a lot of dubiousness and strange questions about them, but at the end of the day, I haven't seen any solid 100% proof to say they were blown up.

That doesn't mean they weren't.

WTC7 on the otherhand is the one that troubles me. Even forgetting about Silversteins dealings, what the building was used for, BBC and CNN reporting it collapsing in advance and all the other odd stuff that happened at the time, just the plain physics of it don't compute for me.

Even if the building was a raging inferno (which it never was compared to other major fires that have happened), even if a massive chunk was taken out of it (which depends on your definition of massive), there simply has not been a decent explanation for the way that building fell. To bring a building down that cleanly, takes serious work normally. Making sure all the main supports fail at the same time and that other pieces collapse neatly and in total symmetry, would take real expertise.

The building does seem to have been "pulled". The fact the MSM have done all in their power not to show this and even talk about it, is worrying for me. The MSM is biased and controlled, simply by controlling the news at source. This is how the MSM managed to almost blot out Ron Paul worldwide, even though he had amazing money support, numbers at rallies and even the odd good result (winning Washington and Alaska for instance).

That is what bothers me. It is a smoking gun, to suggest the official story isn't reliable. If the official story isn't reliable, then what is?

I did not tick yes for "inside job" as I believe it was an attack by terrorists. I have watched Professor Steve Jones' lecture on 9/11 and I have to say it is very thought provoking.

I have seen a building implosion and the twin towers fell in exactly the same way as an implosion (having said that I have never seen how a building falls when hit by a plane until 9/11). Steve Jones also points out the fact that Bush stayed in the school when there was a major security alert, possibly endangering children. He is under the impression that not only were the American authorities aware of an expected attack that day but also that they imploded the towers. He also uses the other building that nobody mentions as an example. Oh, he also brings into the the non intervention of military aircraft as well.

He also shows proof that the propaganda in the following days did not infact show the real Bin Laden. Has anyone seen his lecture?

The main towers were bizarre and completley UNLIKE any controlled demoltion I have ever seen. They were also unlike any other collapse I have seen fullstop, so I still have major questions over that, but as all the evidence was rushed out of the scene so quickly, I doubt we will ever be able to say for sure how that happened (sorry I don't buy the pancake theory, when there is a massive core of steel in each building).

WTC7 though clearly had more than just gradual fire damage, slowly collapsing it piece by piece. To just sweep that under the carpet to me seems criminal.

WTC7 collapse is the bit that makes me wonder.

Alex Jones is credible most of the time becasue he presents evidence to support his claims not theories.

Look at it this way - before I examined the evidence on 911 I thought everything in the world was huky dory and that society, government were essentially good.
But when you look into the hard facts about 911 you are shown other evidence which reveals it's only the tip of the iceberg and how shocking things are but also how real knowledge is never put in the public domain.

Anyone who cares about the truth and isn't willing to make up their own "conspiracy theory" about the "conspiracy theorists" can't ignor it.

Ask yourself, who invented the term conspiracy theory and why ?
Why did Bush say "Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories" ?
Because he knows they are mostly all true and they're frightened of the people finding out.
I can't believe anyone with half a brain can't work it out.

So yes they murdered kennedy, diana, did oklahoma, 911, 7/7 almost everything except the moon landings (which are always thrown in to make the truth movement appear as wackos and uncredible)

It's like saying a mass murderer wouldn't kill more than one person and the chance of that happening are impossible - wrong !

How about looking into the claims, even if to disprove they're false ? (which of course you'll quickly find out they're not)

So please no more "conspiracy theories" - if you're not willing to look at the evidence that is in front of you, then you probably don't deserve to have an opinion on the subject.
It is actually quite an Orwellian term to use aswell in this instance, as the official version is actually a Conspiracy Theory itself!

IE don't believe any outlandish Conspiracy Theories, except the one with the official seal of approval, that a rag tag bunch of Arabs with boxcutters, managed to take control of numerous planes over numerous hours, fly them around the most powerful miltary nation on the planet unhindered.

This with amateur flying experience at a few flight schools, controlled by a sick man in a cave. Creating one of the most traumatising effects in history (call it shock and awe) and convieniently leaving copies of the Koran in boots of cars and fireproof passports in wreckage where even blackbox recorders were supposed to have disintegrated.

And if that conspiracy theory itself wasn't outlandish enough, they managed to hit Americas central military complex (the pentagon), hours after other buildings were hit and with such stealth that not one of the hundreds of cameras in that area caught any sign of it.

Now that could be said to be an "outlandish conspiracy theoray", yet because the same people who tell us the EU is good, Global Warming is all our fault and we must be taxed heavily for it and Iraq had weapons of mass destruction ready for deployment in 45 mins and many other clear manipulations, we are supposed to believe it without question?

Do me a favour. I don't trust a single thing that comes out of government or their puppets in the MSM, so I won't be taking their word on this as gospel either.

Many so called leaders have ****** over their own people in the past, to further their own selfish agenda. I don't think it is totally out of the question it happened again here. Then again, maybe there is more to it than meets the eye. Maybe other forces took advantage of the situation too, with maybe just a little bit of help from a few key people in positions.

I suspect that conspiracy nuts will be big on that other lost cause, Ron Paul.

Sorry but I think you're the lost cause - you obviously have no idea what is going on in the US....
