9 + 11 is 20. 20 divided by 4 (the number of planes hijacked in the attack) is 5. Former President of the United States Grover Cleveland has a Kevin Bacon Number of - get this - 5. Therefore, Grover Cleveland orchestrated the attacks. With the J ews.
Grover Cleveland is dead. If this strikes you as convenient for him, you're right. What better way to avoid suspicion than by being dead? Coincidence? You decide.
The attacks happened in New York City, which, among other less important things, is famous for its bagel shops. Run by J ews. Coincidence? You decide.
There is lots, lots more evidence that Grover Cleveland and the J ews orchestrated the attacks. Seriously, I have a boner from all this evidence right now.

Using science you can prove that jet plane fuel can not burn hot enough to melt the structural supports the WTC was built with.

Using math you can calculate the impact force the plane had on the structural supports and then from there, calculate if the force exerted combined with the heat from the fuel on the structural supports to see if thats why they collapsed.

IMMA SOLVE THIS WITH MATHS

Take off weight of 767 = 140,000 kg
Crusing speed of 767 = 900km/h (950 is max but lets say they didnt hit max)
140,000 kg x 250 meters/second (900,000 meters divided by an hour in seconds) = 4,375,000,000 joules
or 4,375 megajoules

1 megajoule is = to a 1000kg vehicle at a steady speed of 100mph

BMW M6 curb weight (random example) = 1700kg

ergo a 767 hitting the tower has the same force as 2574 BMW M6s at 100 miles per hour

coupled with that force is the energy of the explosion of the fuel in the 767 fuel tanks.

767 fuel type = Jet-A fuel = energy density of 43 megajoules per kilogram

Jet A fuel density = 0.775kg/litre - 0.84kg/litre, avarage density is therefore 0.8075kg/litre

767 fuel capacity = 90,000 litre (let us assume fuel tanks are half empty at point of impact)


45,000 x 0.8075 = 36,338 kg of fuel

36,338 x 43 = 1,562,513 megajoules of potential energy

jet-a fuel auto-ignition temperature = 210C

We can assume that the engines exploding at impact reached that temperature of 210C, seen by the explosion in the videos, igniting the broken fuel tanks and releasing this energy

total energy of 1 767 airliner hitting a building = 1,565,086 megajoules or 1,565.086 gigajoules

1 tonne of tnt is = to 4 gigajoules

1565/4 = 391

the force of the 767 boeing airliner hitting the tower was equal to a detonation of 391,000 kilograms of TNT

An objective view of the maths, take it as you will.

You're in a casino and about to play the slots when a man comes up and tells you not to use that machine. He explains that it only has a 2.2% chance of winning, and that you should move to the next machine because it has a 12.5% chance of winning. He also adds that the next machine over is even better, since it has a 60-70% chance of winning.

Given that it was, it was probably misreported as collapsed after the city reported that firefighters had abandoned it to collapse, which happened about 2pm, and it finally collapsed around 5pm.

I don't know if this claim that BBC misreported it before it collapsed is true or not. Conspiracy theorists say it's one of the buildings that can be seen behind her, but 1) I cannot verify that, and 2) don't know if that's live or a green screen with skyline footage.

NIST did a report by hiring scientists and engineers to investigate the events, just like they do for all plane crashes in the US. Some independent engineering firms also did their own reports. These are nothing but scientific investigations into the events. They are not "from the government".

The 9/11 commission was also instituted by the government to look into all the events, and they accumulated vast amounts of evidence of the surrounding events. The purpose of the 9/11 commission was largely to recommend changes to the government that could have done a better job stopping the attacks.

7a. How could the steel have melted if the fires in the WTC towers weren’t hot enough to do so?
OR
7b. Since the melting point of steel is about 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature of jet fuel fires does not exceed 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) certified the steel in the WTC towers to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit for six hours, how could fires have impacted the steel enough to bring down the WTC towers?

In no instance did NIST report that steel in the WTC towers melted due to the fires. The melting point of steel is about 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,800 degrees Fahrenheit). Normal building fires and hydrocarbon (e.g., jet fuel) fires generate temperatures up to about 1,100 degrees Celsius (2,000 degrees Fahrenheit). NIST reported maximum upper layer air temperatures of about 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,800 degrees Fahrenheit) in the WTC towers (for example, see NCSTAR 1, Figure 6-36).

However, when bare steel reaches temperatures of 1,000 degrees Celsius, it softens and its strength reduces to roughly 10 percent of its room temperature value. Steel that is unprotected (e.g., if the fireproofing is dislodged) can reach the air temperature within the time period that the fires burned within the towers. Thus, yielding and buckling of the steel members (floor trusses, beams, and both core and exterior columns) with missing fireproofing were expected under the fire intensity and duration determined by NIST for the WTC towers.

UL did not certify any steel as suggested. In fact, in U.S. practice, steel is not certified at all; rather structural assemblies are tested for their fire resistance rating in accordance with a standard procedure such as ASTM E 119 (see NCSTAR 1-6B). That the steel was “certified ... to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit for six hours” is simply not true.

>Lol, none of Lincoln's critics would have even considered claiming habeas corpus for an American overseas fighting against US forces with a foreign enemy. On the contrary, it's treason, and at wartime, that means execution by military tribunal on the spot. No one alive then would disagree.

Everyone, including Lincoln and his allies, would be against the many year long detention without charge foreigners picked up on the hearsay of foreigners. It's insane you're trying to justify this.

>It takes an act of congress to "turn off" habeus corpus rights. Has there been such an act?
Oh wow. Habeus Corpus HAS NOT BEEN TURNED OFF. IT HAS NEVER APPLIED TO PRISONERS OF WAR.

>Most of them were not shooting at US troops when they were picked up. It's bullshit.
Please go read the Military Commissions Act of 2006 and come back when you're not an idiot.

>It's also bullshit that you seem to think it's not ok to keep people in prison indefinitely without charge when they're US citizens, but it's ok if they're not. You sicken me sir.
That's because you're an idiot. Go read the Military Commissions Act of 2006. That's how it's done, and how it should be done. The rest is people lying to you to convince you to vote for someone who doesn't even plan to do anything different, because he knows that it's all completely legit.

You keep implying that foreign nationals picked up without a gun in hand nor while shooting US troops counts as prisoners of war. This assertion is mistaken.

Oh, and the Military Commissions Act cites evidence that the currently held people were captured on the battlefield and not in the middle of the night from their beds based upon some asshat offering up false testimony to claim a bounty?

Right...

This debate has two sides.

On the one hand, you're absolutely right, some of these innocent people were undoubtedly picked up because some asshat pointed a finger.

On the other hand, with an insurgency type of war, not everyone who is an enemy combatant is shooting at your troops in a well marked uniform that identifies him as a member of an insurgency group. There is no fixed address here. And someone who plants bombs or scouts for insurgents is still an enemy combatant, even if he never picks up a gun.

But that's not comparable at all. No one is rounding up american muslims and putting them in camps.

The law of war pertains to what soldiers do with enemy and suspected enemy that they capture when fighting (outside of their country). The MCA was a codification of that law that has always stood. It only had to be codified because of people trying to make political opportunity, and trying to claim that GWB was doing something different, which he wasn't.

WWII internment, OTOH, was unprecedented and unsupported by the law of war.

"Why do conspiracy theorists insist on concentrating their efforts on the shadowy machinations of conspiratorial cabals when the public record of American actions would have seen every American president since WWII hanged had the Nuremberg Principles been actually enforced."

IMMA SOLVE THIS WITH MATHS

Take off weight of 767 = 140,000 kg
Crusing speed of 767 = 900km/h (950 is max but lets say they didnt hit max)
140,000 kg x 250 meters/second (900,000 meters divided by an hour in seconds) = 4,375,000,000 joules
or 4,375 megajoules

1 megajoule is = to a 1000kg vehicle at a steady speed of 100mph

BMW M6 curb weight (random example) = 1700kg

ergo a 767 hitting the tower has the same force as 2574 BMW M6s at 100 miles per hour

coupled with that force is the energy of the explosion of the fuel in the 767 fuel tanks.

767 fuel type = Jet-A fuel = energy density of 43 megajoules per kilogram

Jet A fuel density = 0.775kg/litre - 0.84kg/litre, avarage density is therefore 0.8075kg/litre

767 fuel capacity = 90,000 litre (let us assume fuel tanks are half empty at point of impact)


45,000 x 0.8075 = 36,338 kg of fuel

36,338 x 43 = 1,562,513 megajoules of potential energy

jet-a fuel auto-ignition temperature = 210C

We can assume that the engines exploding at impact reached that temperature of 210C, seen by the explosion in the videos, igniting the broken fuel tanks and releasing this energy

total energy of 1 767 airliner hitting a building = 1,565,086 megajoules or 1,565.086 gigajoules

1 tonne of tnt is = to 4 gigajoules

1565/4 = 391

the force of the 767 boeing airliner hitting the tower was equal to a detonation of 391,000 kilograms of TNT

An objective view of the maths, take it as you will.

This man is correct, yet all of the truth would be drowned out by retards.
If you conspiracy fags would like to rally around a man of intelligence, instead of a joke like Alex Jones, you should rally around Noam Chomsky. He actually condemns the government when it makes legitimate offenses, instead of inventing an elaborate "NWO network" that doesn't exist just so he can attach circumstantial evidence to it to sell his books.
Yeah the US government sucks dick but not even they are stupid enough to orchestrate an attack on their own land. Opportunists? Yes, definitely. That's how they got to their positions of power in the first place. Shit, I'll bet Cheney was secretly happy that it happened. But that doesn't mean he did it. And if you think he and others in our gov't did, you'll have to provide proof. All the skepticism over planes being able to knock down a building are bunk. I'm not going to explain why, it should be common fucking sense that when a giant piece of steel moving 500 MPH crashes into a tall building and releases tons of burning jet fuel into the structure that it's going to fucking fall. Take my word for it or call me a fag, I don't give a fuck.

Furthermore, even if you did prove that in no possible way could a plane ever cause a building to fall, we're still at square 1. The inability of a plane to down a skyscraper doesn't leave us with a person to blame, it just tells us that planes don't down buildings. If you're going to say that a controlled demolition occurred, you're going to have to cite evidence to account for the presence of the literally hundreds of tons of TNT that would have to be on site to cause the building to collapse: evidence for which there is none. Even if there were evidence, this says nothing as to who placed the explosives.

Truman-
Hiroshima: we knew of the Japanese willingness to surrender before August 6th yet proceeded with this anyway.
Nagasaki: even if Hiroshima was justified; the second atomic bombing of a civilian target can never be; both bombings were the first shot of the Cold War and effectively geopolitical dickwaving towards the Russians.
Created the CIA: do I even need to elaborate?
Thousands of German POWs starved to death under his watch

Eisenhower-
Korean War: the slaughter of up to a million refugees and the first uses of napalm and agent orange.
Vietnam: support of the French against the Vietnamese.

Kennedy-
Vietnam: escalation of the Vietnam conflict.

Johnson-
Started the fucking Vietnam War on a lie; the Gulf of Tonkin incident never happened.

Nixon-
Cambodia/Laos: What the fuck?
Chile: Operation Condor

Ford-
Got me there.

Carter-
Cambodia: supported the fucking Khmer Rouge

Reagan-
Do I even need to elaborate?

Bush-
Iraq: first supported Iraq's invasion of Kuwait then fabricated some media stunt to change public opinion in order to please the Saudis; the bombing of fleeing troops and refugees.
Panama: real big threat to our drug running operations.

Clinton-
Yugoslavia
Waco

Bush 2-
Afghanistan: Bombing a civilian population and invading a country in retaliation for an attack perpetrated by a group barely involved in that country and ignoring the actual leads because those nations were our friends. Countless civilian deaths.
Iraq: A plain war of aggression based on a false pretense.

Obama-
Has continued pretty much everything Bush 2 set in place.

indeed it does. without the tensile strength of steel supporting the concrete column, it collapses pretty quickly under all that weight.

steel doesn't go from normal strength to total liquid in half a degree, it goes through this long period of losing tensile strength as it heats up, it turns into red hot taffy
