Creative Speculation

thought I'd post this, mainly because it annoys me to put a lot of time into constructing a reply to someone, only to hit "post" and find the thread's been locked.
This, in reply to a thread about the ae911truth video, here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023643919
Somewhere in that video:
there's a segment where the architects and engineers. the PROFESSIONALS who construct such high-rises, made a formal request to the Government for technical details of how the steel beams were supposed to have failed.
The Govt. denied their request, stating, ....wait for it.........."national security".
So, let's see....if a passenger plane crashes into the ocean, with significant loss of life, the officials dredge up the pieces, with a sieve if necessary, and reconstruct the plane, so they can determine exactly what failed and why, and do everything possible to prevent a recurrence.
You would think the US Govt. would be at pains to determine how all these beams failed. SYMMETRICALLY. Three times in one day. But, no, they couldn't share info with the PROFESSIONALS who have studied 'Strength of Materials' and other arcane matters. Passing strange!
Then there's Larry Silverstein, who should get the Darwin Award, because he's too stupid to live; or at least to lie effectively.
He said, regarding Building 7, that there had been so much loss of life that he said, "Pull it". Later he claimed he was referring to the firefighters. IT! - pulling them from the building. Yeah, Larry! That's syntactically incorrect, you moron! Unless you were talking about something else....hmm?

(34,664 posts)were just a connection or two away from people who died that day (especially those of us who were in NYC or DC at that time) ... I have never believed the official story. Video tapes of some terrorist in a random cave in Pakistan engineering all of this? Nothing survived except a bunch of passports indicating the "terrorists" were from Saudi Arabia? It was all a crock of shit.
I don't know whether it was a military ops or if they paid someone to do it. I do know real people died and many of us still grieve. And I also know who the "terrorists" were - and they were not from Saudi Arabia. My best guess is that they were sitting right there in the white house. I also suspect the real story will not come out within my lifetime - they have no interest in releasing it. They've accomplished their goal of creating a police state.

which he did on multiple occasions.
Here's part of the Aljazeera translated transcript of Osama bin Ladin's speech from a videotape sent to Aljazeera:
Peace be upon he who follows the guidance: People of America this talk of mine is for you and concerns the ideal way to prevent another Manhattan, and deals with the war and its causes and results.
Before I begin, I say to you that security is an indispensable pillar of human life and that free men do not forfeit their security, contrary to Bush's claim that we hate freedom.
If so, then let him explain to us why we don't strike for example - Sweden? And we know that freedom-haters don't possess defiant spirits like those of the 19 - may Allah have mercy on them.
No, we fight because we are free men who don't sleep under oppression. We want to restore freedom to our nation, just as you lay waste to our nation. So shall we lay waste to yours.
