I’ll agree that Alex Jones tends to go a little too far in his conspiracies, but he has nailed the head on a lot of things which makes listening to the man and reading his site worth the time. It’s like anything you study. You want to keep an open mind and do research instead of blindly accepting things.

Now 9-11…I’ve done a lot of research on this and there are too many things that point to a conspiracy. To say that our goverment could never blow up its own civilians is absurd when you consider the number of people we sent off to war in our history. Haven’t you studied Vietnam? Over 47,000 people died of combat wounds. My dad fought in Nam. He said they were bombing the northern border and had all their roads and bridges destroyed. He said they retreated and when he went back to the area months later, they had rebuilt the roads and bridges as if nothing had ever happened. They purposely strung that war out to feed the Military Industrial Complex, or giant corporations.
Now look at what has happened as a result of 9-11. You end up with another Vietnam in Iraq and Afghanistan, only not only does this war feed Wall Street, it also keeps our hegemony on the oil fields, the life blood of our economy.
Back to 9-11. The biggest things that stand out in my mind is the precise falling of the buildings. They went straight down like a controlled demolition. Had these buidlings fallen due to the planes hitting them, then they would have fallen in a jagged, disordered way, not perfectly straight down.
This theory of controlled demolition is also supported by firefighters testimony that they heard explosions BELOW them. That is key. What is even more weird is that the firemen who made these statements did not make it to the 9-11 commission report.
The Pentagon. Look at footage of this and you will not see large plane debris. Go look at other plane wreck footage and look at all the debris. You don’t have this with the Pentagon. And, though there were security cameras that recorded this suppossed plane crash, the FBI conviscated them and the only thing released is footage showing an explosion. That’s it, you get cut up footage that shows an explosion. The fact of the matter is that the cameras caught this footage, yet it was not released. Had a plane truely hit the Pentagon, you would be able to slow the footage down and show a plane.
I have only touched on a handful of facts. The reality is that there are way too many of these facts that can only lead one to the conclusion that 9-11 was an inside job.

And my post is only partially ad hominem. It doesn’t entirely rely on portraying Alex Jones as a loony.

Regarding the critical question of the destruction of WTC 7, anyone who reviews the actual tape of Silverstein’s remark will see how implausible is the explanation that he meant to “pull out” firemen. He says “they made the decision to pull it.” “It” is a neuter pronoun referring to a building, not a cadre of firefighters.

A growing body of structural engineers testifies that the physics involved in the destruction of all three buildings is impossible without the additional contribution of significant amounts of excess energy supplied in the form of some kind of explosives; eyewitness heard many large and small explosions in all three buildings, and chemical analysis conducted by several independent chemists reveals significant traces of highly sophisticated nano-thermite in the WTC dust debris. Yet some people continue to accuse anyone who raises these facts as of being a “conspiracy theorist.”

This is called an ad hominem, and it is not responsive to the points at issue.

Best Wishes,

I do want to note one thing ov this article. Occam’s Razor is not some infallible truth. Just because an explanation is simpler does not make it true. Occam’s Razor states that the explanation making the fewest assumptions is likely correct.

This is directed to Walt…
You state that the term “pull” is also a firefighting term. Unless Silverstein was documented stating firefighting OR demolition it cannot be sure what he meant. Either one is a fair assumption. And ov course if he had decided to pull, as in demolish, the building the firefighters would most likely leave the building as not to be crushed. That’s only logic… The point is, you have made just a big an assumption as the so called

Anyways, to get to the main point I am here to make.

I want to say… why not? I personally find it absurd to think that we live in some perfect world, or a perfect time, where our government could do no wrong.

Looking back at history, corruption in government is a common theme. My question to you is, what makes it any different in today’s time?

People seem to be brainwashed into thinking that we are perfect. People have an unfounded patriotism for a country that has done little to nothing for them and will stand up for it for anything. I realize that you are going to note my use ov the word “brainwashed,” but I feel there is no better word.

Why are we the “greatest country” on the earth? When was that decided? I would like to state that I am not from another country and my parents did not teach me to think like this. I got into many arguments with my father when he would hear how I think.

Continuing… This is a country which dropped bombs on civilians. Whether or not it is justified is not the point. Just as George Carlin pointed out about rights… If you really believe you have rights look up the Japanese Americans in WWII… That shows what the government thinks ov your rights. Innocent until proven guilty? This is a country that has tested drugs and such on citizens. Don’t believe me? Look up Project Paperclip, Project Artichoke, MKULTRA, MKNAOMI, and many more ov this type. There are so many I do not want to list. The projects are all related to each other. Another example… the Tuskegee Institute, … in fact just go to this page for a short review ov some ov the things this perfect country has OFFICIALLY done. My point in showing this is to get people to realize that we are not some perfect GOD ov a country, and innocent in the world. We have done just as much wrong as every body else.

In a country that has unclassified things like this, is it really such a jump in logic to think they would knock a couple buildings down? This is a country that has killed MILLIONS worldwide, including citizens (Atomic Bombs anybody?) yet it is absurd to think it would kill 3000 ov its own? What is the difference than 3000 in this country and 3000 in another country? What do the 3000 honestly mean to the people who would have planned the attack?

The article mentions taxes… they don’t care about money. They can just print more up. Do you not believe the Federal Reserve is the cause ov our financial problems? Now the mainstream media is starting to jump on that idea.

I’ve heard Glenn Beck talking about the Federal Reserve, saying the exact thing that the “nut job” conspiracy theorists. It seems like every day I hear people in the mainstream news saying things like, “these guys would have been nut jobs a few years ago, but now they have a case.”

I know my comment is a little jumbled. I’m done typing… I hope people at least think about this. It is absurd that we are in some perfect time/country where this sort ov thing cannot happen. It’s happened many times in history.

Before I go on, let me say that even before I knew Alex Jones owned the websites, I discredited almost everything that I found on his web sites fairly easy. You ask me about ANY subject Alex Jones (or others like him, or his supporters) state as truth, and I will be able to easily prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that his theories don’t even substantiate the title of theaory, rather, false hypothesis. Much of the stuff can be proven wrong by using the VERY SAME evidence he uses. [Example: He claims that the government is creating internment camps for civilians, and shows pictures of razor wire & chain link fences. What he fails to mention is that the fencing he is showing the picture of if OLD, RUSTED, and DILAPITATED wire that was, in fact, used for the internment camps to house the Japanese-Americans during WW-II.]

There are too many of his theories to mention. As for the 7 WTC collapse, I have been a firefighter for 23 years, and, what most people fail to mention is that, the word “pull” is ALSO a firefighting term meaning to pull all personnel from a building due to immenent danger of some kind. Considering that Silverstein was talking to the fire chief, it stands to reason that the term “pull” was in reference to pulling the firefighters. ALSO, if you watch the COMPLETE video of the collapse of 7 WTC instead of the edited version that Alex Jones provides, you will see that all firefighters were “pulled” from the building immediately following the conversation in which the term “pull” was used, and 7 WTC fell on its own, without the help of explosives.

HOWEVER, for arguement’s sake, let’s say that 7 WTC was deliberately demolished. WHO CARES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Look at what had already happened earlier that day. Would YOU want to enter 7 WTC after that? I know I wouldn’t. So… If it hadn’t fallen on it’s own, I’d certainly HOPE they would demolish it for public safety’s sake. However, ALL of the evidence, including video evidence that CANNOT be refuted, shows that 7 WTC collapsed all on its own, without the assistance of any explosives.

One thing that I came across here is the fear of loss and social decline being used as a method to have people/workers accept a lower wage and less benefits. (A little bit more each time)

This is where the 9-11 event comes into play. In the course of just a couple years a massive number of governments of the western hemisphere were making new “Security”/Anti-Terror Laws that are cutting into the rights of millions of people. In addition you are welcome to buy the current edition of the Amnesty International Annual Report on Human Rights and read up on how many countrys were passing new laws and also have gotten out of international human rights treaties/agreement.

Many if not all of those legislations would not have been accepted by the populations of the countries before 9-11. After 9-11 people were naturally shocked and outraged and biggest of all: They were deeply afraid. That’s why they were accepting the quickly passed laws that cut into their rights. Most of the laws of course are aimed at personal privacy rights and weakening them.

I realize that this article focuses on AJ being described as a nutcase. While I agree that he seems to go overboard at times with some of his ideas, his main points about NWO are not that far off. The problem is that most people mistakenly believe that the NWO consists of people from the government who in their view also “executed” 9-11 which of course doesn’t make sense.
What does make sense however is that there are interests at work here that stand to gain influence over this.
Which is the Surveillance Industry (huge already) as well as Weapons Production and Trade. In addition a nice frame was constructed to strip workers/humans of even more rights.

Chomskys Books on the topic are definately worth a read. (Especially when you read one from about 10+ years ago and are able to see what really happened in the past decade)

Cheers…

I wonder if he really believes every word that comes out of his mouth? My hypothesis; Jones uses the generally credulous audience that loves conspiracy theories and other such non-sense, to unload those terrible movies he makes. This doesn’t necessarily mean he is just a showman or secretly doesn’t believe his own rhetoric. It just seems he’s got a lot of stuff to sell (his films, quack medicine, survivalist food stuffs etc.)

Really, the Alex Jones stuff is low hanging fruit when it comes to debunking.
