What does "legally binding" mean in this context?
What does "legal authority" mean in this context.
The NIST report was an investigation into why the towers collapsed: I'm not sure why you think there should be some blame attached, other than to Al Qaeda.
OK, so who should have been taken to court, and for what purpose?
Moreover, facts are not established by courts.
You really need to define your terms more closely, if you want people to understand the point you're trying to make.
No, they aren't.
Not official, not a theory, and the approval or otherwise of the American government is, frankly, irrelevant in any understanding of what happened on 9/11, or to the validity of the 911 Commission or the NIST report. Does any of this change the fact that Al Qaeda carried out these attacks?
No, sorry, you are playing semantics. You appear to be trying to dismiss all the US investigations into the attacks as unfounded conspiracy theories, based on a unilateral wish to redefine those words.
By the way, are you aware that other studies, from other countries, came to the same conclusions as the NIST report? And I'm talking about independent, non-governmental studies.
I literally am not playing semantics. I literally am not here to play games. I literally came here hoping to find a discussion at a higher level than what i have recieved. Gate is being kept well. I do not agree with several of those statements in reference to my quotes. But that is the entire point of a discussion.
A conspiracy is a crime. Two or more people or groups conspiring to commit a crime. That is exactly what happened regardless of a persons views the wxact perpetrators of the event.
A theory is by definition what all or those were.
What I have said was to specifically to destroy the term "conspiracy theorist" for what it has purposely been pigeon . Aliens and lasers and spikey hair. Yes. Conspiracy Theorist are and have always been a bunch of silly none factual, illogical half-brains that destroy truth and are to lazy to put in any work. That doesnt change the fact the term has been purposely aimed at others.
Do you know why? Because conspiracy is a crime.
9/11 should have resulted in a judicial process—a report backed by court authority, with legal consequences like indictments, verdicts, or binding rulings—rather than just political summaries (like the 9/11 Commission) or technical studies (like NIST).
A criminal or civil trial outcome, not just advisory findings.
Did you know that the Port Authority needed to dredge the Hudson for the next generation of cargo ships? That was not possible at the time due to General Electric dumping an estimated 1.3 million pounds of PCBs into the Hudson River from two capacitor manufacturing plants between 1947 and 1977.
This led to:
EPA Superfund designation (1984).
Legally binding cleanup orders under CERCLA.
Decades of dredging and environmental monitoring.
After 9/11 The Army Corp was allowed to dredge a section of it to the Landfill to remove debris. The dredging was done poorly. Following that the EPA-mandated dredging of the Hudson River by GE (2009–2015) and it was widely criticized as inadequate.
It removed less than 50% of total PCB mass.
EPA’s own scientists noted remaining contamination exceeded health thresholds.
Independent reviews (e.g., NOAA) said the cleanup didn’t meet restoration goals.
No Phase 2 was ordered, despite calls for more dredging.
Legally ordered and poorly executed
It is illegal to commercially fish and sell fish from much of the Hudson River due to PCB contamination.
New York State bans commercial fishing for species like striped bass and American eel in PCB-contaminated stretches.
The Federal advisories warn against consuming fish from affected areas.
These restrictions are legally enforced under state environmental and public health laws.
None of that is a conspiracy. Though I'm pretty sure the dumping of the chemicals would fit the definition.
I say all that for one reason to show why a crime like conspiracy would be purposely turned into a silly term for people to throw around. Like pervert. Which before the 1880s and early 1900s wasn't for sexual immorality. It would be used more often for phrases like "perverting justice" or "perverting truth".
Now. The word conspiracy.

And here we are. 2025. And because of the history channel and a guy with spikey hair saying "aliens". We have "conspiracy theorist" thrown at anyone that wants truth. Go throw conspiracy theorist at Judywoodfanboys with their magic beams. Keep putting laughy emojis on my post. But most of all, keep questioning and quoting me. Because that is how healthy discussions leads to truth.
