Trolls know more than an engineer or other similar professional.

They never offer objective rhetoric. Only inane babble and ad hominem attacks with a little character assassination thrown in for good measure.

But they know what they talk about because Langley says they do.

Well, mainly because that's one of the only rational explanations behind how or why the towers could have collapsed at nearly freefall speed. Since I doubt that they defied the laws of physics, I'd say it would have to be either that or some sort of directed energy weapon. The FBI initially stated that they thought that there was an explosives filled van which was detonated in the basement - but that's a whole another story. I think I'll stick to arguing about demolition charges for now.


haha. rational explanation? you're inventing technology to suit your theory, how is that even remotely rational? "defied the laws of physics". -first off, that's yet another misnomer bandied around. To be honest the technical math is beyond me (and i suspect you too) but until jone's paper gets peer review then you have no credible scientific study with which to substantiate your claims. and seriously LOL at energy weapon!

I thought that you said you researched this?


no, i said i took particular interest in certain parts of the story; mostly the illogical and scientifcally unsupported "bombs in towers" arguments. and i stated as much; my research centres around this central theme (though i will pass commentary on other things that just fail the common sense test). i am not interested in the "larger picture" because it requires far far too much interpretation, and CTs see government evil everywhere. i have neither the time nor the inclination to follow up every red herring thrown up by a paranoid blogger. it is far easier to investigate something like the supposed bombs.

quote:

LMAO! The REALLY funny thing is, you seem to use misinformation even when you assert that you can't put the anomalies together. The plane parts at the Pentagon didn't even match the 737 that allegedly hit it and I had never even heard that the circling C-130 had dumped anything. Are you making that up or did you actually read that?


peer reviewed engineering papers do not qualify as "misinformation". pointing out facts like fire fighter interviews concerning the state of WTC7 is not misinformation. drawing attention to the SERIOUS logistical problems with the controlled demolition hypothesis is not misinformation. I basically mention these types of issues because I am yet to see plausible answers to them, or explain why they are ignored by the CTs.

any theory that degenerates into arguments for secret energy weapons, or imaginery "super thermate" illustrates the weakness in plausible scientific analysis. You talk about "breaking the laws of physics" yet you're still free to break the laws of common sense or acceptable rationality by inventing necessary technology?

Who gives a fuk if they are licensed or not?


because if theyre not registered you cannot possibly verify the veracity of their qualifications. meaning they are just random names on a page. you believe they know what they are talking about, whereas colonel and i would prefer a little proof. hey, like a paper written by them and reviewed by their peers! lol. i dont understand the logic of someone that would defend a list of names that (as far as we know) haven't produced any articles on the subject, if you can't even verify their qualifications at the same time? that's just dumb.

I bet they still know what they are talking about and some even have much more experience then other engineers with licenses who are fresh out of school.


excuse me if your "bet" isn't good enough for the rest of us.

I get it, you believe that just because the majority of people who down right oppose the official story are wrong because a much smaller circle of people with a piece of paper say the opposite? I think you are the dumb one.

lol. give us your definition of the word "majority". because it is clearly different from the way any other people use it. you really are kidding yourself if you think the demolition theory is supported by a majority of people. hahahahaha.

the cognitive dissonance displayed in this thread by you on a regular basis is amusing.

im still laughing at "majority". wow, kid. you crack me up.

hey trancer- wanna teach cretinrot about the logical fallacy- appealing to belief? i know you're a fan of your logic

first one i checked......

Robert Tamaki

quote:
Municipal/Urban/Town Planning, None, 2637 Grant St., Vancouver, BC, CANADA



lol he is an urban planner........ he draws colored boxes on maps for zoning bylaws..........


Magnus Thompson - not an engineer according to the Alberta society of engineers and geophysicists...

Kees van der Bent, Designer * B.Sc., Computer Science, The Hague NL
Utrecht, Utrecht � Netherlands lol computer science..... he is qualified....... to run windows.....

Hadi Izadi - they failed to mention that his BSc, MASc, and PHD are all in thin film semiconductors AKA ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING..... again.... not qualified.... AND not liscenced....

Doug Plumb
Toronto, ON � Canada, Civil Engineer *

well i hope his business card doesnt say civil engineer..... or he is going to get a nice big 25000 dollar fine from the PEO for NOT BEING LISCENCED

Vancouver, BC � Canada Brian McHugh, BSc PgD, Consultant Engineer also not liscenced.....

And these are just the canadian ones.




first american "engineer" i tried was

Ted Muga, BSCE, Civil Engineer
San Diego, CA

NOT AN LISCENCED ENGINEER according to the state board of professional engineers and land surveyors.

second one chosen at random


Jon Marino, BSCE, EIT, Design Engineer
Phoenix, AZ


funny according to the arizona state professional engineering board, he isnt an EIT


the first one i found who was at least a liscenced engineer at one point was


William D. Taylor, P.E.
B.S. Engineering
Tequesta, FL

ironically enough his liscence is currently suspended due to disciplinary action for negligence.......


now before you all jump on me for discrediting people based on their lack of credentials...... picture this


you have a rare disease. and you get advice from two people A: your neighboor who took a first year biology course in college and is convinced he can cure you or B: a lisceneced doctor who says he can cure you?


you wouldnt let a truck driver perform a heart transplant on you yet you think an electrical engineer knows the first thing about structural dynamics?


Posted by pkcRAISTLIN on Aug-15-2007 04:03:

thanks for that colonel. as suspected, the list of structural engineers is (more or less) a farce. this is why no papers have been presented for review i'd guess. ghosts dont write papers!

true, but i love pointing it out anyway

ive just looked at their site some more, these "engineers and architects" have all the same nonsense available on the other CT sites. including the most damning evidence of all: the BBC report of WTC7 coming down before it did! oh my god! thank christ we have these architects to do this research for us!

dont even get me started on architects........ i was going to tear into them in my previous post, but i didnt want to come accross as biased......


they have no practical knowledge of anything and im pretty sure they need assistance to wipe their own arse.....

the city just hired an architect to design a bridge........ it was a great looking thing and a nice design.... except i had to add 6 more supports for it to not fall down....... apparently in architect land they have 500 MPa concrete..... funny.... the strongest concrete you can get commercially from Lafarge or Esroc is 85 MPa..... and you pay out the ASS for it..

Exactly why I do not take anything you say seriously, way to full of yourself. To say that architects have no practical knowledge of anything must be absolutely the most ignorant thing ever posted in this thread if not the whole forum, they design buildings you moron!


Might be just me (highly doubtful) but I think both PKC and Colonel are trying real hard to convince themselves that the lies they believe in are actually the truth. It comes across as very pathetic in their posts.

It must suck grasping to the twisted so called truth in their minds and trying to sway others on these forums that their mindset is the correct and only way to look at things.

Horrible.

you do realize that architects don't do any structural design. they merely design the shape and function of buildings..... the concept if you will. structural engineering firms then take this "concept" and design each individual member and connection to make the concept work.

architects are great at drawing pictures and building cardboard models, but they know dick all about structural engineering

hahaha. yeah, i was going to ask you about the reliability of architects and their knowledge of structural collapses. having done a bit of tech drawing in my time, i certainly dont remember intense mathematics and structural loading components (though i will admit it wasn't something i studied all the way through school).

i dont need to be "convinced" of anything. i am merely waiting for the first shred of evidence to vindicate the opinions of all the paranoid conspiracy morons (like yourself). we're not the ones kow-towing to junk science, discredited and imaginery engineers (serious lol at that!) in order to justify our feelings of fear and inadequacy!

not trying to convince anyone of anything. the members on this forum that i most respect in the PDD (with the notable exception of shaolin) all think you're a bunch of disingenuous idiots. feel free to read from the beginning of this thread troll, there used to be a lot more posters in here than there are now. everyone left because none of you can present plausible explanations to our questions, or you refuse to admit your non-sequiturs (like the empire state building) and merely shift the focus of the discussion someplace else. im only still here because i like laughing at you all, and your illogical trains of thought irritate my rationality.

keep posting your lists of made-up engineers to try and fool the ignorant that your position has some foundation outside of crazy nutjob "internet detectives"

its amazing how illogical these kids can be, and not even notice it!


Posted by culorut on Aug-15-2007 23:52:

Here is an idea.

Why don't both you and Colonel setup a live debate with Richard Gage (the architect who runs www.ae911truth.org) and has countless seminars at prestige universities across North America and tape it.

Then post it here so we can have a good chuckle as he hands the both of you your asses.

You are both failing very badly at convincing the voters in this poll so at least think about taking a new direction with your nonsense. People are not so easily convinced at government and "official" accounts anymore and being on the short end of the stick it's up to you to prove to the people otherwise.

The more you guys stick around here the more you are going to lose in the numbers game. Judging by the way the poll numbers have moved lately you are both on the incorrect path.

It seems the majority sees right through the "official" story and the both of you.

Excellent article, hit the link below to view it in it's entirety with pictures.

The Seventh Tower

Niels Harrit has been Associate Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, for 37 years. This is a translation of a feature article printed in the Danish Newspaper, Information, on 31 March 2007 (requires subscription). Images have been added below to support the text.

How, not why, did World War Three start?

We are not talking about conspiracy theories, absolutely not. We are talking about elementary physics and chemical processes, Newton's laws, gravity, the melting point of steel, and the like.

The World Trade Center was a complex made up of several buildings. The best-known, of course, were the two towers, WTC1 and WTC2. Together with five other smaller buildings � numbered 3, 4, 5 and 6 � they formed a perimeter around a central plaza. On the far side of building 6, over 100 metres from the North Tower (WTC1), was building seven (WTC7). It was a very large 47-storey office building.

The two towers collapsed on 11 September 2001, after each was struck by an airplane. Everyone on the globe who had access to a television set has seen the dramatic and tragic images. However, to this day, only very few people are aware of the existence of WTC7 or its fate. This building was not hit by any airplane, but still collapsed seven hours after the towers. This feature article is about that event.

the same, tired old fallacies being trotted out by someone new. woohoo! great article, shows that the troof movement is merely repeating itself. good work.

i especially love the old technique of comparing the WTCs to other buildings that have nothing in common with them. good work there internet detective!!

as i said above, i did not look into the validity of their architecture liscences as myself and the rest of the engineering community do not consider them competant in the field of structural engineering.

and as far as checking the liscensure of the "engineers" you listed, i didnt pull that data out of my magical black hat. its all public record and you can get the data from your state engineering board website. same as it is here in canada.... www.peo.on.ca is my liscencing board.

i have yet to see a propper peer reviewed document outlining these theories.... and until then. they are all baseless

Lads, arguing with conspiracy theorists is pointless, don't waste your time unless you're amused by this fruitless discussion:
quote:
Rejecting conspiracy thinking keeps it alive and well
IVOR TOSSELL

The problem with deriding conspiracy theories is that it really does leave your columnist feeling like he's just playing his part in the International Bankers' plan for one-world government.

Yet the topic asserts itself this week, despite my years-long attempt to ignore it. A two-hour movie, slickly produced and wrapped in an air of appealing mystery, has been making the rounds, propelled by recommendations from bloggers whose eyes were opened and lives changed. The reputable A-list websites are starting to acknowledge it. People in the offline world have asked me about it.

The thing is called Zeitgeist and can be found via Google Video. It's a online video set against a black backdrop, with no clue as to its creators' identities. It assembles archival footage, animations, and breathless narration into a kind of primer on conspiracies.

The movie comes in three parts. The first makes the case that Jesus is a mythological figure built from parts of earlier mythological figures. Christianity, say the filmmakers, is a concoction, just a form of social control.

So far, nothing ground-breaking. But now the movie jumps to 9/11, and things really get moving. The middle segment steps us through the orthodoxy of 9/11 conspiracy thinking. The twin towers weren't destroyed by jetliners; they were intentionally demolished with explosives. Something fishy happened to Flight 93, which the banker-controlled media will tell you crashed in Pennsylvania.

The Air Force, we're told, deliberately failed to intercept any of the planes. Meanwhile, the Pentagon wasn't hit by an airliner, but by something more like a missile. All of this leads to the conclusion that 9/11 was an inside job, staged by elements of the U.S. government to provide a pretext for invading Iraq and curtailing civil liberties.

To what end? Warming to its topic, the film shimmers into its third act. It seems that the Federal Reserve, the U.S. money-printing organ, is in fact the implement of a small cabal of International Bankers (the ethnicity of these money-lenders goes undisclosed) who stage global calamities to spur federal spending and enrich themselves.

They arranged for the Lusitania to be torpedoed, dragging the U.S. into the First World War. They manipulated FDR into essentially staging Pearl Harbour, starting The Second World War. (That was the start of The Second World War, right?) Ditto Vietnam, ditto 9/11.

Their ultimate goal? A one-world government whose citizens all carry implanted microchip IDs. And all the while, the hidden powers are using the consolidated mass media, the church, and the educational establishment to create a complacent zeitgeist � a spirit of the times � that leaves us dumb as sheep.

The film is an interesting object lesson on how conspiracy theories get to be so popular. (In 2006, one poll suggested that a full third of Americans thought their government was complicit in the 9/11 attacks.) It's a driven, if uneven, piece of propaganda, a marvel of tight editing and fuzzy thinking. Its on-camera sources are mostly conspiracy theorists, co-mingled with selective eyewitness accounts, drawn from archival footage and often taken out of context.

It derides the media as a pawn of the International Bankers, but produces media reports for credibility when it suits it. It ignores expert opinion, except the handful of experts who agree with it. And yet, it's compelling. It shamelessly ploughs forward, connecting dots with an earnest certainty that makes you want to give it an A for effort.

The funny thing about this stuff is that it's all been thoroughly debunked for years. Everyone from Scientific American to Popular Mechanics have produced reports puncturing the central claims of the 9/11 theory, and when you look gullible next to Popular Mechanics, you know you're in trouble.

Evidently, debunking isn't the issue. You can't argue aliens with someone who has an "I want to believe" poster on his or her office wall. Nor can you cite the findings of the professional, journalistic, and academic consensus to someone who's decided that having credibility means being under the sway of shadowy forces. To that line of thinking, an expert who is rejected by his peers � say, for lunatic conspiracy thinking � gains credibility just for being ostracized.

What troubles me the most is that, for all the talk of skepticism, conspiracy counterculture is really an anti-intellectual, populist movement � much like Intelligent Design. For all their absurdity, conspiracy theorists try to drag everything back to the level of common sense.

Just look at the video evidence, they say! Did the collapsing buildings on 9/11 look like they were being demolished? Then they must have been demolished. Did the 757 that hit the Pentagon's blast-proof walls fail to make a plane-shaped hole? Then it must have been something else. Are there unexplained quirks in the official story? Then it must be the work of a higher power.

That's the thing: Conspiracy theorists want to see a guiding force, a malevolent design, behind events. The notion that calamity might be the unintended consequence of subtler causes doesn't hold the same appeal. Evil, whatever its other uses, drives a great narrative. Complexity, not so much.

The Internet bred the 9/11 conspiracy movement, and thanks to films like Zeitgeist, it's alive and well. Now riddle me this: I look at what's happening, and I see people using the Internet to gain widespread currency by rejecting social institutions in favour of an amateur-accessible common-sense approach.

I see people who are highly selective about facts, and who are ready to write off opposing views as the bile of powers that be. I see them using the Web's echo-chamber to create a place where they're right, and everyone else is wrong.

Does this sound familiar? If I told you that I look around the Internet, and am troubled to see this pattern everywhere, would you accuse me of seeing a conspiracy?
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/serv...tory/Technology

He's got a point right there: because of their fragility, most conspiracy theories, no matter how far-fetched they are, need to look "obvious" so it isn't threatened by disputing points of view (I mean, what are you guys posting polls for? Does the average Joe really know anything about civil engineering?).

Arguing with conspiracy theorists will, strangely enough, convince them they're right. They're smart and can see things no one else has, because everyone else has been blinded by the government/church/aliens/zionist movement. They must then help all those that haven't seen the light yet. They must fight a powerful enemy, using nothing but their superior cognitive skills.

Would you engage on a debate with a drunkard on the street? Yeah, I thought so

He know's better than you!

Can't you tell by the way that he's handled all of our wars in such an efficient and benevolent manner?

Well then find a reliable poll that shows the majority supporting the official story. You cannot use any links to those pay sites like PKC posts here either, they are full of virii/spyware or contain a direct link to Langley.

Wait there is one problem you cannot find a credible poll showing this. Sorry you are shit out of luck again.

There was a Zogby poll a little while back and it also showed a land slide win supporting the cover up which 9/11 is. The polls are very accurate within a few percentage points if I recall correctly.

For guys who like to boost about facts you cannot deny the numbers which out weigh you in every instance.

Power is in the numbers.
