Merged Continuation - 9/11 CT subforum General Discussion Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
Actually I don't perceive those particular magazines as the spokesmagazines of choice for America's scientific community.

However, experts were happy to be consulted and to contribute their views, and none of the experts consulted have complained at their views being misrepresented. We can conclude, therefore, that these articles accurately represent the views of recognised experts in the relevant fields, which rather suggests that you don't have a point there.

I never gave a flying **** about what some people want to know from or about me.
I don't buy this as being genuine... It's a perfectly legitimate response if someone's asking you to divulge details of your personal life on a forum where people have no business knowing it. However the questions you just went over aren't concerned with that. Folks like you and redibis contend that your views are being distorted unfairly by your detractors, this screams the opposite of what you say here.

What does this fictional Atlantic No Fly Zone have to do with 9/11?
Nothing, of course. He's speaking nonsense. If he stopped and thought about what he's saying, he'd realize that he's not talking about 9/11 at all. Everyone else realizes that the 9/11 jets flew over Massachusettes, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, etc.

Since he's invoking the Atlantic, he's probably groping towards referring to the ADIZ. And since he thinks that's a no-fly zone, he's showing that he doesn't know what he's talking about. If any of the hijacked flights ever flew over the ocean, the ADIZ may have become somewhat relevant, but none of them did.

Actually I don't perceive those particular magazines as the spokesmagazines of choice for America's scientific community.

Whoever you're directing this to probably thinks they're who they are.

I just checked in the mirror. It's me. A person who believes the official story about 911. Truthers don't,but refuse to tell me why.
 
You genius still owe me an apology for calling me a serial liar while foaming at the mouth and posting ridiculous nonsense which was instantly teared down by me in the very next post.

The latest crop of peanut gallery is the worst this forum has ever seen. Utterly pathetic.

3b-1953towel.jpg
 
And that, paperboy05, is as much as you'll get from RedIbis except for a vague statement that Silverstein made out like a bandit from the insurance claims.

Dave
I do get moderately excited each new time that topic comes up, hoping that some new, unknown information will come out. Apparently him making out like a bandit really isn't that big of a deal, if the evidence behind it should continually be hidden by those that make the claim :boggled:
 
I don't buy this as being genuine... It's a perfectly legitimate response if someone's asking you to divulge details of your personal life on a forum where people have no business knowing it. However the questions you just went over aren't concerned with that. Folks like you and redibis contend that your views are being distorted unfairly by your detractors, this screams the opposite of what you say here.


Yeah. Essentially crying "nobody understands me" in one breath and huffing "what I think is none of your business" in the next breath doesn't make for a respectable mix.

I don't understand what they think they're accomplishing with that sort of "participation" in a discussion/debate. Either you 1) clarify your position as best as you can, 2) stop complaining when people incorrectly interpret your position based on what little information you've provided, or 3) just keep your fool mouth shut from the start.

Two things I've seen which likely overlap with what others have seen:
A) Their claims are made insinuating that the "facts" of their arguments are self-evident and requires no further explanation about what components of the articles are relevant.

B) Responding to specific inquiries that require detailed input places an increased burden of proof on them to corroborate the claims they present. Almost always in my exchanges with them revealed whatever deficiencies existed in their case points.

It tries to open "wiggle room" to say that people aren't reading their content while being able to avoid explaining the merits of the case.

\If it was a simple matter of being flooded with responses on how dumb the theory is I doubt we'd see much of that topic and similar ones to begin with. That's my impression...

National Geographic Magazine
A monthly publication with occasional special editions, National Geographic provides you with everything you need to know about scenery, history and traveling to all ends of the earth. National Geographic is most well known for its award winning photojournalism.

Some science source.

Many of the debunkers have stated that the military was only prepared for attacks from outside the continental US.
Stands to reason no fly zones would only be enforced against planes from outside the continental US.

FYI :rolleyes: means sarcasm

National Geographic Magazine

Some science source.

I didn't cite a single Nat Geo article in that list of engineering and professional journals. Funny how you chose to cut that out to raise a straw man.

Here's an excerpted list from the two I gave you above showing all the journals with the word "National" in them, as well as the listed conferences of engineering professionals
  • Abolhassan, Genady P. Cherepanov September 11 And Fracture Mechanics, a Retrospective International Journal of Fracture v. 132 No. 2 2005
  • Genady P. Cherepanov Mechanics of the WTC collapse International Journal of Fracture v. 141 No. 1-2
  • Lu Xinzheng, Jiang Jianjing Simulation for the Collapse of WTC after Aeroplane Impact International Conference on Protection of Structures 2002
  • Venkatash K. R. Kodur Role of fire resistance issues in the collapse of the Twin Towers International Conference on Tall Buildings 2003
  • Mendonça, D., Lee II, E.E., Wallace, W.A. Impact of the 2001 World Trade Center attack on critical interdependent infrastructures IEEE International Conference on Systems 2004
So, you want to raise more strawmen about what the scientific consensus is? Be my guest. Just remember: The scientific consensus is established, and it's not in conspiracy peddler's favor. And yes, those lists are about engineering issues with the WTC on 9/11, so they indeed are relevant to this discussion.

Furthermore, I'm not the ones attributing fictional points to our opponents. You are. I did not say a single thing about National Geographic in my posts to you. So next time you respond, address what I write, not your illusion about what you thought I was referring to.

Many of the debunkers have stated that the military was only prepared for attacks from outside the continental US.
Stands to reason no fly zones would only be enforced against planes from outside the continental US.

Still don't know what an ADIZ is, do you? Hint: It's not a "no fly zone".

Two: FAA "Prohibited Areas" are well known:
  • Thurmont, Maryland, site of Presidential retreat Camp David (Prohibited Area 40 or P-40)
  • Amarillo, Texas, Pantex nuclear assembly plant (P-47)
  • Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Georgia (P-50)
  • Naval Base Kitsap, Washington (P-51)
  • Washington, D.C., Capitol and White House (P-56); see other restrictions for information about all Active Prohibited Areas in the Washington D.C./Baltimore Flight Restricted Zone.
  • Bush compound near Kennebunkport, Maine (P-67)
  • Mount Vernon, Virginia, home of George Washington (to prevent vibrations) (P-73)
  • Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota (P-204, 205, and 206)
  • Merritt Island, Florida. All civilian flight operations in and around the island are prohibited due to NASA and U.S. military operations at the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
  • Disneyland Resort, in Anaheim, California
  • Walt Disney World Resort, in Central Florida (near Orlando). The zone extends to 3,000 feet (910 metres) in a 3-nautical-mile (5.6-kilometre) radius centered from the Main Spire of Cinderella's Castle in the Magic Kingdom Theme Park.

And out of all of those, only one could even remotely have had to do with 9/11, had it actually been in place in 2001. And that's the obvious one listing DC.

You really don't know what you're talking about, do you? There is a lot to learn about this history, and you don't do yourself any favors by arrogantly presuming to tell us myths we refuted back in 2006. Get smarter: Look things up before you spout off on them.

And last:
FYI :rolleyes: means sarcasm
Quit the arrogance. You haven't earned a single bit of slack here with your posts, let alone any respect. You earn respect by arguing factually, putting together well supported points, and not rehashing old, disproven mythologies. Keep this up, and you'll end up on ignore by some of us, and a target for the rest of the folks here who like poking sticks at presumptuous truthers.
 
Stands to reason no fly zones would only be enforced against planes from outside the continental US.

There is no such thing as an Atlantic 'no fly zone'.

There are zones referred to as ADIZ in which all aircraft must be readily identified.
All of the aircraft on 9/11 were readily identified when they first appeared on radar, AND they originated from, and stayed within, the borders of the USA and therefor were NEVER a concern to NORAD until AFTER it was apparent that they had been hijacked.

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the purpose of the North American Defense Network and its origins. It was formed to protect Canada and the USA from Soviet attack. You know the guys living accross the north pole from us then.

My little finger allows me. If you are intimidated by my superiority just let it out. I saw all the 9/11 history required when I saw the videos of the three "collapses."

As for earning some sort of respect from you PTI..... ROTFL

The truster explanations are like the explanations of a 9 year old caught in a lie. You go with your strawmen garbage. Your look over here, look over there, will freaking never disprove the image of the explosive destruction of those buildings and the slaughter of my countrymen. Shame we didn't learn our lesson after June 8, 1967.

So you still don't address the list of research journals, nor your total misunderstanding of the difference between an ADIZ and FAA Prohibited Area? Instead, you bluster, then meander into irrelevancies? Can't make your arguments stand on merit, can you?

Let me know when you can address substance. Such as the demonstration of what the "scientific" (in reality, engineering, but distinctions like that are apparently lost on you) consensus is. And the fact that we've clearly demonstrated 1. That you have no clue what an ADIZ is even after we link you to an explanation and 2. That you still haven't established what either an ADIZ or a Prohibited Area has to do with any of the posts you've composed so far. Probably because you don't know and are just throwing terms around that you don't understand; that tends to be the case with truthers like you who try to hide their lack of facts behind vague, generalized arguments. Anyway, let someone here know when you're ready for substance and fact. Until then, have fun getting ridiculed by others.
 
My little finger allows me. If you are intimidated by my superiority just let it out. I saw all the 9/11 history required when I saw the videos of the three "collapses."

As for earning some sort of respect from you PTI..... ROTFL

The truster explanations are like the explanations of a 9 year old caught in a lie. You go with your strawmen garbage.

Ladies and gentlemen the above is a prime example of one way that people can sometimes be erroneously convicted in a court of law.

You saw, you believed, no math, no knowledge of engineering just your calibrated eyeball that is capable of discerning that "something is wrong".
