Koala Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I havent heard one plausible 9/11 theory yet, including the official story. All I know is who benefitted from 9/11, and it sure as **** wasnt the Taliban and Saddam Hussein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegeta613 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 It would be much scarier if you or I or anyone couldn't read about operation northwoods on freakin' Wikipedia. The only thing scary here is the large scale gullibility of the American public. That is ****ing terrifying. Bunch of idiots. Idiots just asking questions of course. LOL so we shouldn't question our government?? I guess we should just totally ignore history and blindly believe whatever the TV tells us, that makes us smart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofSparta Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 [*]WWI.... The causi beli was the sinking of the unarmed cruise ship Lucitania which was carrying some Americans passangers... Only the Lucitania was fitted for guns making it a legitmate war target.. The real reason we went to war on the British side was American Bankers had billions invested with the British and we were defending their investment. You're forgetting about the Zimmerman Telegram, which also played a huge role in our involvement in WWI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Japanesse before Pearl Harbor the United States will put up with a lot of attacks, until they touch American soil. And then entire countries get turned upside down and shaken. And in both situations the world ended up a better place (my 2cents). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Harris Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 It's very strange. We posted together on the ESPN boards backin in the early 2000's but tin foil hat threads are like the bat symbol to this dude now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I like tin foil hat threads simply because they are fun reads. I don't really believe all of the conspiracy theories out there on the various subjects but I like reading about them. It's like ghost hunting TV shows. I don't believe in ghosts but I eat those shows right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Normal midgets charge more. Invisible midgets have to work cheap because they always fail the eye test when making a first impression. Smart terrorists use invisible midget interns. You don't have to pay them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Diehard Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I havent heard one plausible 9/11 theory yet, including the official story. All I know is who benefitted from 9/11, and it sure as **** wasnt the Taliban and Saddam Hussein. Why would the Taliban benefit from it? Al Qaeda wanted to change US policy. They did a terrible job communicating the reason why they were attacking us. Maybe...Maybe you could make an argument that the conspiracy was that the government WANTED us to believe that they were attacking because they didn't like our freedoms.

I don't believe in ghosts but I eat those shows right up. Dude, Ancient Aliens is a guilty pleasure of mine for the same reason. And it reminds me a lot of people who buy into this type of thing. The show takes a small clip from an actual expert, with a PhD in their field of (legitimate) study, and take it completely out of context by following it up with an "Alien" guy. One of my favorites was about Atlantis. They had a Geologist from UCLA or something talking shortly about the tectonic activity in the Caribbean (something like "this area lies on a fault line, so it's not uncommon for earthquakes and tsunamis to hit this area over large enough time spans" or whatever), followed by one of the Alien "experts"/authors saying "And that's why it's probably that Atlantis was sunk by Alien technology." It's the same thing with stupid videos like "Loose Change," where the idiots quote somebody who knows what the hell they're talking about, then take it completely out of context and say "See? It's a government conspiracy, we win." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never left this board being the diehard skins fan that I am, just don't post that much on the forum. Posting here??

Special K Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Oh dear Lord, this again? Just read and/or provide a copy of the After Action Report on the Pentagon response and recovery mission to any dip**** who believes we attacked ourselves on 9/11.

Mr. Sinister Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 My dad was working at the Pentagon at the time (not that day though). His friends office was one of the areas that was demolished in the crash. My dad brought home one of his charred business cards that were on the ground, and brought it home, and you could smell the jet fuel on it. Also, there were civilians who saw the plane flying low, before it hit. A plane hit the Pentagon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the asking-questions bit that makes one an idiot. It's the jumping-to-idiotic-conclusions bit that makes one an idiot. Hence "just asking questions" being placed in quotation marks. ES isn't particularly special when it comes to accurately labeling tin-foil nuttiness as such. The vast government conspiracy angle is a lost cause wherever a critical mass of reasonable thinkers can be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMS Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 You're forgetting about the Zimmerman Telegram, which also played a huge role in our involvement in WWI True, But Mexico in 1910 was less of a threat to attack the United States than they are today... Poncho Via raids had just concluded and we had actually just returned from invading and knocking the snott out of Mexoco right before WWI began... But you are correct the Zimmerman Telegram did add to our popularist motivation to declare war..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. All I'm saying is it wasn't just 1 thing (the Lusitania) that got us into war. That, combined with Germany attempting to bribe Mexico with land that belonged to the US kinda pissed us off enough to shake off that "neutrality" thing that we were only pretending to have anyway.

HailToTheRedskins14 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Don't forget we found the terrorists' passports on the street after they floated down from inside the plane crash.
