Yes, 35 pages was enough.
For a second there, I thought you had -actually- closed the thread. I'm guessing you're not a moderator here or you would have. I'm fine with this thread going anywhere so long as where it goes will have reasonable protections from being closed.
chris, at any rate, thinks that what happened in WTC 7 is suspicious and he's not alone in suspecting something is fishy there or more then fishy (actor Charlie Sheen thinks WTC 7 was indeed a controlled demolition).
What I'd like to know is why do so many people marginalize this issue so much when there are so many voices, both within the U.S. and without, who question the official story regarding 9/11? The Guardian, a UK paper that seems to support the official story regarding 9/11 nevertheless mentions in its article
Conspiracy theory top 10 that 9/11 is number 2 when it comes to conspiracy theories that people believe, with 38% believing the twin towers were taken down by controlled demolitions; the only thing that outranked it was the believe that Area 51 exists to investigate aliens (48% believe this).
An
MSNBC online poll that asked the question "Do you believe any of the conspiracy theories suggesting the U.S. government was somehow involved in 9/11?" has 67% who picked "Yes. The government has left many questions unanswered about that day". Only 27% picked "No. These theories are absurd and disrespectful -- especially to those who lost their lives on 9/11" and 5.4% picked "I'm not sure". The total respondents is 95506 as of this writing. If you do the math, this means that about 63,989 people said yes compared to only around 25,786 who said no and about 5157 who aren't sure.
Why do so many feel so comfortable with ignoring or shutting down discussion of this issue, when so many people disagree with the official story?
The poll was actually part of an article that spoke of David Ray Griffin, an eminent liberal theologian and philosopher and author that has written many books questioning the official 9/11 story, entitled
9/11 conspiracy theorists multiply - Many Americans suspect U.S. government involvement or complicity. In it, it speaks of how David Ray Griffin went from someone who wholeheartedly believed in the official story to someone who found that the official story was simply untenable. The article clearly suggests that as more people look closely at the evidence at the official story, more people are becoming convinced that the official story simply can't be true.
Perhaps those who can best answer this question are some psychologists and psychiatrists, that are summed up in an article over at infowars.com, titled
Psychiatrists and Psychologists: Government's 9/11 Story is Crazy. I have a feeling, however, that it may be a long time before the mainstream media questions the official story concerning 9/11 as much as, say, the JFK assasination or the Gulf of Tonkin incident.
Anyway, the above linked to article links to a few articles from psychologists and psychiatrists and then sums up this way:
There are literally thousands of other mental health professionals who have reached the same conclusions. So who is out of touch with reality: those who question 9/11 or those who believe the government's version without question?
It doesn't support its assertion that there are thousands of other mental health professionals who feel this way. But there are certainly thousands if not millions of -people- who feel this way and I don't think that ignoring this will resolve anything.
