I feel trolled, and I don't like it.
I know how you feel but how often do I have to say...
Like I've said before, I find both sides of this to be various shades of bullshite. There will always be agendas, either before or after such a horrendous act, that will be aided by nefarious explanations.
Let me make this as clear as I can.
I am neither Jewish nor an anti-semite, I am also not a Zionist, a "Truther", a bigot or a troll. I just have doubts about the truth of the explanations, all of them. -
"revelations". This puzzles me.
Possibly not the best choice of words, would you accept "bit of news" or "bit of gossip" instead?.
I do deliberately conflate the Israeli plot angle with "the Jews did it," because I genuinely believe it is an antisemitic explanation. It depends on belief in scheming Jew tropes for its plausibility.
I had no intention of messing with your beliefs. Merely pointing out a logical possibility.

We ran the coax in and out of a Freeview Satellite PVR, then to the MySky and on to the TV.
Had the polarisation on the satellite been correct you would have lost the signal to the Freeview box when the Sky box switched the LNB. Luckily the cockup worked in our favour.

Gio. My point was the abuse of the word "Truth" from both sides is, at least, disingenuous, the truth is just not known.
Stephen.I guess the most disappointing part of the "it's all the Jews' fault" explanation is it's so tiresomely unoriginal.
I couls paraphrase myself there, "the abuse of the term "it's all the Jews' fault" from both sides is, at least, disingenuous."
Israel is not the poor downtrodden victim some like to claim, not only powerful in its own right but highly influential in American policy. Palestinians are Semites too but some can be convinced that "All Arabs are Fundamentalist Muslims" without realising what they've been suckered into for the sake of the greater God, oil.
Anyway, I ain't here to preach, just voicing my discomfort. -
Oh the irony of dismissing revelations as "truthiness"
I would rather, as I always try to do, apply Occam's Razor.
Which is more likely?
1. A mad guy, who happened to work for the CIA for a while, did it from a cave in Afghanistan.
2. Israel did it to put all the balls in their basket. With help from the CIA & FBI
3. Bush did it so he could finish his Daddy's war. With help from the CIA & FBI
4. The landlord did it for the insurance. With help from the CIA & FBI
5. The CIA acted alone.
6. A bunch of guys from Saudi Arabia trained in secret for months and just by chance NORAD shut down their defences on the day they decided to act and within an hour or two the FBI & the CIA found all the evidence to prove Osama Bin Laden was behind it and just happened to be hiding in a country the USA had, merely coincidentally, been wanting to put an OIL pipeline through for years.
?
Of course, we all know the last scenario to be true.
Who's the "Truther" now Gio ?. -
the Large Hardon Collider
Ah, I remember fondley Miss Higgs Bosons behind the cyclotron shed.

Sigh. Just reminds me of this sort of thing.

Thought I'd drag this ol' thread back up for a few reasons.
Here's the 911th reason.
Who would of thought the likes of Ron Paul would want people to know about this?. -
Wage caps?. Bloody Socialism I tell you, they'll be asking for sport to be amateur next.

Until some one *proves* that James is not recycling hot air, I'm afraid I can't take anything he says seriously.
As proving a negative is a logical conundrum I guess you won't be taking him seriously then. However, it also shows a lack of rational thought and a complete lack of tolerance of the irrational, a conundrum in itself, as we know from Bjorn Lomberg.
