The
same goes for every “truther” who believes, despite the mountain of evidence
against such a claim, that George Bush and a cabal of thousands of others
planned and executed the 9/11 attacks as a ‘false flag’ excuse to go to war,
presumably because, you know…
…Halliburton…
…and profit!…
OK, so the reasoning behind their little conspiracy nutbaggery
isn’t the only thing missing, because Halliburton
and profit couldn’t possibly
explain it (although that is the only justification I could come up with in my
search of “truther” sites). The reason being that there would need to be
thousands of people involved in this plot.
Let’s take a look at some of the theories that they’ve thrown
out there and give them the sniff test, with our analysis based solely off of
nothing more than the old saw “two people can keep a secret, if one of them is
dead.” Let’s start from the tippy top:
The Pentagon
One of
the more whacky theories out there is that a cruise missile hit the Pentagon
and it was made to look like an airliner crashed into it. There are variations on this one, such as the
plane that crashed was a plane, but wasn’t the hijacked civilian plane, but was
rather a military plane laden with explosives, and so forth). Let’s look
at the participant list on this one:
·
the flag officers off of whatever naval ship fired the cruise
missile. Or the military base. Or whomever fired it.
·
The targeting guy on board the vessel.
·
The guys responsible for supply would notice a cruise missile
went missing, right?
·
Then you have all the obviously paid government stooges who
“claimed” to have watched an airplane crash into the pentagon – we can discount
those folks all together, right?
·
Forget the video showing the plane crash, too – it is obviously
a forgery. Of course, this means that some more people were paid to
develop a forged surveillance video of a plane crashing into the Pentagon
somehow, and of course, they were totally in on it, too, since they haven’t
reported a thing in the last decade.
So how many is that?
Hundreds at this point? But it
gets worse…
The WTC “Controlled Demolition”
The next conspiracy theory has to do with a fatally flawed
understanding of how steel works, in the claim that fire can’t melt steel, and
so could not have possibly caused a steel building to collapse. Therefore, the WTC collapse (and more
fervently on these boards, for some damn reason, the WTC building 7 collapse)
was a controlled demolition.
Fair
enough; let us just ignore the fact that there were totally planes that totally
flew right into the buildings, and that they have that on video. Let’s go ahead and count up all the folks
that would have had to know about a controlled demolition beforehand, who
weren’t killed in the attack and have now had a lot of time to think about it
and think about how a nice, big book deal and the millions to go with it would
be.
·
To plan a demolition of a building the size of the WTC (or even
just WTC 7) you’d have had an extremely large construction crew in that
facility for weeks. Estimates from a
friend in that industry range from 25 to 100 crew members to complete that
work, depending on how long they took to do it.
So you’d have very large construction and demolition crews mobbing the
building for weeks prior to the event setting charges and preparing the
demolition. Let’s just cut it in the middle and say 50 people directly
involved with setting the charges, since they probably had time. But then you
have management at the company who ordered the materials, and the supplier
warehouses, who even if they didn’t know where the explosives were going, don’t
you think they would have remembered selling a shit-ton of explosives right
before the event happened? Say they went black market on the explosives –
you think that there isn’t a single black marketer who hasn’t realized at this
point how much money he could make selling his story?
·
All the people in the buildings.
Thousands and thousands of people, almost all of whom survived the
attacks, because they happened before most people went to work that day. You see, rigging a building for explosive
demolition is not an operation that you can cover up by making it look like
someone doing a bit of telecom work, or even an entire re-wiring of the
building. They’d be in there tearing out
walls and ceilings to access structural members (which are normally built into
the walls for aesthetic reasons). They’d
be running det cords everywhere. The
building would have been a mess. Yet no
one reported any such thing, meaning that every single worker in those
buildings, many of whom lost loved ones and co-workers in the attack, were all
in on it and were bought off with Halliburton slush fund money. Oh, yeah, and these are some of the most
wealthy people on Earth we’re talking about here, so buying them off would not
be cheap. You’d think they’d have missed
one person in the buy-out. You’d think
at least one person remembered large amounts of demolition going on, and det
cords running all over the building. No one does, amazingly enough. So,
now you have thousands of survivors that were probably ALL IN ON IT, who despite knowing that the buildings were
going to be imploded still went into the buildings on that day and risked their
lives – for what? Some money? All of them? Every,
stinking, one?
·
You’d also have the federal regulators who monitor explosives
and keep track of where they are at all times.
By the time you add it all up, you are talking about easily thousands
of people involved, and many of these folks have no connection to one
another. How is a naval flag officer connected to a video photoshopper in
Washington DC? How did they get into this grand conspiracy
together? How were all the thousands of these people vetted to make sure
that they wouldn’t talk? Who did the
vetting? Why have none of the vetters
talked? Money? Halliburton didn’t make enough profit to pay off
this many people. Where did the money come from?
But all
of this is beside my main point, which is this:
If Mark Cuban and his truther ilk really, truly believed that
what they espouse is true, then they shouldn’t be going to baseball games and
enjoying beers in their owner box, as Mark Cuban is doing. If he truly believed that our government
was so corrupt and evil as to have, in their pocket, the thousands of people
necessary to plan and pull off the murder of almost 3,000 people so that they
could make a little money, then he should be standing on a line somewhere, with
a rifle in his hand, fighting against this horrific government, which, if
found to be guilty of these crimes, would be on par with Nazi Germany.
Rosie O’Donnel, Charlie Sheen, Mark Cuban, and all you other truthers –
if they really believe this drivel that they are spouting, they’d be at war
with a murderous government, not struggling to overcome massive cases of
irrelevance and being overweight, or trying to unsink a tanking acting career,
or… doing whatever the fuck it is that
Mark Cuban does besides be a douchecanoe.
Instead, Mark keeps going to baseball parties every Sunday,
Rosie keeps shoveling food into her fat fucking mouth like a CAT 320 excavator,
and Charlie keeps abusing porn stars in ridiculously overpriced hotel
rooms. And the rank and file truthers
out there just post away anonymously on internet comment sections, in a tone
and in a manner that belies the fact that they are really enjoying being
“smarter” than everyone else and “knowing” these things that they don’t know,
as opposed to one of shock and horror, as it really ought to be if they truly
believed the garbage that they are spouting.
SO I can come to only two conclusions:
1.) They truly believe that they live under a government
so evil that it could only be eclipsed by Nazi Germany, itself, and are
choosing to do nothing about it besides making “documentaries” getting out the
“truth” (never mind that these documentaries are highly profitable – hey, don’t
blame me, turnabout is fair play! If profit is evil, then its evil no
matter who makes it, right?). Never mind that the “truth” in these
documentaries are mostly outright fabrications, but hey… If this is true,
and they truly believe the drivel that they are spouting while attending
parties and living life as if nothing is wrong, then they are evil cowards.
2.) They are lying through their teeth for attention and
profit. If this doesn’t cheapen the sacrifices of the people who died in
this tragedy, I’m not sure what does.
I believe that both options are true to an extent. These
people are all lying cowards. Every one of them.
I had a
comment exchange with a dipshit like this over at Judgy Bitch’s place
yesterday. She was writing about the
creepy fanfiction being written about women having fantasies about the Tsarnev
brothers when he chimed in:
Osama bin Laden?
Try this:
Per definition, a terrorist attack is aimed to create a societal
change through fear.
Given that, it makes no sense to create an elaborate fear inducing
plot, and when you got the attention of the world, when you get you chance to
get you message out and try to make a societal impact… you deny any
involvement.
Building 7
At this point, I want to take a
second to point out that this guy’s avatar was a Guy Fawkes mask. I didn’t point out how much this further
proved his historical ignorance, because Guy Fawkes is really a misunderstood
man. This wasn’t a man fighting against
an evil regime. This was a man trying to
install his own evil regime. Yeah, he
fought Hitler, but only so he could take Hitler’s place. Not exactly the guy I’d want to use as my
mascot, but moving on…
I replied:
i don’t mind if you and all of your stupid
fucking friends want to be idiots in private, but could you try harder not to
let it all out in public all the time? it is getting exhausting.
I know, fire can’t melt
steel, right? fucking moron.
He
replied to me:
Grumpy? Remember that time you lit your oven
for five second or whatever the duration of a gas combustion is, and your oven
turned into gum-like consistency and started to implode at freefall speed?
Yeah, that was bin Laden
fucking with the laws of conservation of energy just to make you fill all
shitty.
He was such a dick.
Apparently,
he thinks that starting an oven for 5 seconds is a direct equivalent to flying
a fucking airplane into a building. I’m
not sure how you even start to have a reasonable dialog with a guy like this,
but I tried:
Not grumpy. Just tired of fucking cowards
like you pretending you’re so smart and knowledgeable when you’re dumb as fuck.
You don’t want to get into this with me because I promise that my engineering
degree trumps your “read about it on the internet once” expertise.
Also, just to clarify why I
think you’re a coward…
If you truly believed that
your government murdered three thousand of your fellow citizens so that
Halliburton could make a profit, then why haven’t you done anything about it?
You get up and go to work every day in a country run by murderers and all you
can muster is a comment on a blog full of raised eyebrows and innuendo more
tailored to show everyone how smart you are than to actually drum up outrage. This
isn’t a game. People died. If you think that you know who did it then grow a
set and do something about it, pussy.
I hope I didn’t hurt his
feelings, but my point stands. If I have
proof that a group of evil men in the government had killed 3,000 of my fellow
citizens for their own profit, I’d demand some heads, and when I didn’t get
that, I’d shuck that smoke-wagon and go to work.
But that isn’t what
happened. Not by a long shot. And I
think that people like Cuban, and Sheen, and this dipshit over at JBs actually
know that, because that is the only way that I can figure out why they still
live here, comfortably, in a country that they think is run by murderers.
