Adventures with AE911truth

[R.Mackey]

No, my BAs are Mathematics and Physics. We didn't have an engineering school at my alma mater excepting only computer engineering, and I had plenty of time, so I covered all of the bases before moving into Aeronautics. I trained with hard-core experimentalists and have never regretted it.

I've never understood what about the collapses in any way suggested a nuclear device to anyone. We have the likes of Ace Baker rambling about mushroom clouds, of course, but even among the Idiot Movement such people are rare and very special.

CalTech doesn't have an engineering department? I didn't know that. Gorgeous campus, though - designed by one of my favorite architects.


What about the collapses in any way suggests a directed energy weapon? Or thermite? Who the **** thinks up this stuff?

To be honest TAM, I didn't really expect to convert him, I just wanted to show him that there is a great deal of opposition, to his 'truth'. And by talking to him, I've been able to get an insight into how he thinks, I was quite suprised to see that he supports the mini nuke theory.

"Surprised" is not the word I would have chosen. I would have said "appalled."

And pyroclastic flows. Grrrr...

I went to Caltech (note lower case "t") for grad school -- and they have several engineering departments. Undergrad at UC Santa Cruz. Fabulous physics department, but soft on engineering.

 

[SpitfireIX]

I'd agree with that -- some EE's I've known have been exceptionally clever and well-rounded in their training.

Note that I said Plumb has virtually no credentials to evaluate the WTC collapse theory--I didn't say he doesn't have the skills (though it's painfully obvious from his exchange with peteweaver that he doesn't).

Whoops - I apologize. I will try to remember the proper capitalization in the future.

Oh yeah - how could I forget this classic one? Boloboffin and I just recently went the rounds with a truther over at another site about the term. His whole argument was that since the term had already been co-opted by the truth movement, it was okay to use it (or something like that).

Kinda like "squib".

 

[njslim]

My father is an EE with a Master of Science (retired). When I was in High
school would read (or more correctly try to read and understand) his old
college books. Had many books dealing with Metallurgy, mechanical and
civil engineering. Guess in the "OLD DAYS" expected a lot more from
students.....

 

[AZCat]

Kinda like "squib".

Or "free-fall speed".

We could do this all day, unfortunately. Terminology seems to be a weakness for many truthers (not that they'd acknowledge it).

 

[Unsecured Coins]

My flash program is screwed up. Otherwise I would had made a swf. of Dark Helmet going "FOOLED YOU!!" that you could e-mail back to him

No one is more qualified than Judy Wood.

Well that about sums up AE911truth!

How are these jokers being recieved in twoofer land? There was a lot of hype leading up to the site opening. "Finally we got some experts." Alas it was not to be.

 

[Civilized Worm]

I don't care about qualifications but you must always use dishonesty to support your arguement.

Hang on, is he saying that he supports dishonesty in favour of qualification?

 

[Hourglassmemory]

Another nail on their coffin...

Or should we just start making another coffin?

More like a Sarcophagus and the next thing you know they have entire pyramids built for them.
Pyramids!!! The all seeign eye!!!

 

[SpitfireIX]

No, I believe his writing is merely careless. We can see several examples of carelessness in the quoted emails. I think by "you" he means "skeptics and debunkers."

I think it will only be a matter of time before IVXX and friends are accusing ae911truth of being disinfo agents. Lol.

I remember there was once a debate on infowarsforum.com discussing whether James Fetzer was an agent.

 

[Mangoose]

This Doug Plumb character is a EE, so he has virtually no credentials to evaluate WTC collapse theories.

Wouldn't an EE realize the utter improbability of WIRING up the two WTC towers for a controlled demolition without detection?

 

[Mangoose]

Sorry, what I meant was:

Wouldn't an sane EE realize the utter improbability of WIRING up the two WTC towers for a controlled demolition without detection?

Edited to add: Actually three towers, since 7 is a keystone to the demolition scenario.

 

[Gravy]

aetruth has handed its critics a maxi-nuke. What fools.
