It's Andy's turn now:

I've watched Ripple Effect now.  It's all rather interesting, I must say.

I do have a few issues with the presentation though.  The narrator (not sure if it's the same guy who researched it all and made the video but presume it is) concludes a lot of stuff but doesn't back a lot of it up with sources.  He says such-and-such said this but doesn't always show a clip, or a newspaper/online source.  So us as the viewer have to just assume he's correct.  I realise he probably wanted to fit it all into an hour but I did feel a bit like he'd rushed through it a bit.

Secondly, he pretty much blatantly says that the mock terrorist threat that day turned into the real thing and thus then went onto presume all the non-terrorists didn't know they were involved in a real event and didn't show any proof of this.

I still see much evidence of an inside-job though, I just feel his presentation could have been better.  I shall probably now end up looking into some of the stuff mentioned and try and find sources to back these things up.

You're open mind forgot about this:
Why should I plagarize why you're wrong when I could just link to it?

*plagiarise

I haven't read it yet but I sincerely doubt it'll make any difference.  You have no idea if I'm wrong or not.  Neither do I.  We could both be wrong.

A question: do you know anyone who was personally affected by the events?  I mean, say any families that lost loved ones, for example.
 
No.  Wait... I thought you said those loved ones were all fake.

I did not say that.  I said other people think that.  I actually said in the previous post that I rebuke the whole Vicsim idea.

You did not answer my question though.

It was a small area of New York, so I'd lower the 8 million a bit. Wink
 
A small area being the sky above the two tallest buildings in the city.  I know 8 million people didn't see it but what % do you think need to have to equal a significant amount of witnesses? 

I have no idea.

Some of the footage is questionable as well.

I had to put my jacket potato on for a few more minutes, hence why I'm back so soon.
 
Did you wrap the potato in tin foil or is that reserved for your head? LOL
 
Just a basic question here, for you:  How many people do you think would have to have been involved to carry out this conspiracy?  Just curious as to how many people it would take to plan it, confuse eyewitnesses, fudge the film, control the planes, build the massive secret remote controlled planes, plant the explosives, hide the launching of massive remote controlled planes, brainwash airtraffic controllers up and down the east coast into not noticing those weren't real planes, ... I could keep going.


Again, I have no idea how many people.  It's not a question anyone can answer.

To confuse witnesses isn't difficult.  Especially if what they saw was what has commonly been reported.  If they were R/C planes, they'd look like real ones.  No need to confuse witnesses.  They'd see what everyone else saw.

By the way, I'm not saying they were R/C.  It's just one of many ideas.

Fudging the film is also easy.  The presenters wouldn't need to know anything.  They're like the witnesses above, they see what everyone else sees.  You could probably keep those in the know to a minimum here.

Controlling the 'planes is easy too.  You don't even have to build new ones.  Having said that, the two 'planes that hit the tower were still registered a long time afterwards.  When aircraft crash and are unrepairable, they get deregistered as being able to fly and would also be taken off the American Airlines list.

Planting the explosive wouldn't too difficult either.  There were likely always contract builders in doing work.  I'm not saying it was done by contract builders either, before you say that's what I said.

The Air Traffic control thing is something I've not seen mentioned, so I cannot comment about that but I've also read that those 'planes with those registrations were not meant to fly that day, so there was need for ATC to notice anything amiss here.

I'm not saying I believe all the above.  I'm just positing several ideas I have read and relaying some of them.  I am still very much looking into all this myself.  There's a lot to go through.  Besides, I'm not really all that bothered about it.

No, all you've done is regurgitate the same lack of thought over and over... wait, actually you've gotten more and more ridiculous each time.  Remote control jumbo jets?  Confused

I'm not here to post links or videos.  All the videos and forums our out there for anyone who has doubts to investigate.  I'm not trying to change anyone's minds either.  If you believe what you do, then I have no problem with it.

Yes, remote control jumbo jets.  How is that an unbelievable concept to you?  The technology is there.

I have read what everyone has posted.  Including your own.  You've not brought anything to this debate.

I can refute many of the ridiculous scenarios.  I refute the whole Vicsim thing.  I refute any link to Illuminati or NWO.  I'm sure there's more stuff I refute too but my dinner is ready and I'm planning on eating it.

I'm sure the same footage was used by ITN and Channel 4 as well, by the way.

Really? I don;t watch the BBC news very much to be honest, but the footage I've seen the most is that taken by the French film crew who were in NYC making a documentary about the NY fire dept. That was taken from the ground (obviously) a few blocks away from the WTC.

Is this the footage you mean?


That's the Naudet Brothers film which I mentioned as showing the first 'plane hit.  It's the only footage that shows this too.

There was a lot more "live" footage of the second 'plane on the BBC and the American Networks (CNN, Fox, ABC).  From various different angles too.  I'm sure you must have seen these?  They were featured in Loose Change as well.

No, I wasn't talking about you, I was... Oh, nevermind, I give up.

Note to self: the American have lost their sense of humour somewhere between the 80's and nowadays.

I just thought I'd mention that.
 
 
They all stem from the same fictional script.  If you'd have looked at the Cracked article with your "open" (yet seemingly empty) mind then you'd be aware of the motives.  Grasping for strings of evidence to support a story that was fictional to begin with is pathetic but not as pathetic as people buying it.  You remind me of Karl Pilkington, James.  I can see you and him out there looking for the chimp doctor he read about.
 
And I know, James: what a crank I must be for supporting the 1 candidate that gives a damn about the US Constitution.  That invalidates everything I say.  I mean, what sane person would want a President that wants to abide by the law of the land instead of ignoring it?  Limited government and peace are just ridiculous desires. 


I have no idea who Karl Pilkington is.

There's motives in anything.  I'm sure there were motives with the making of Loose Change.  It's still a source to look into though and even if a lot it is fictional, you don't just come up with this stuff without some evidence.  He has some valid points.

You need holes in the first place to be able to come up with a conspiracy.  You don't just invent them to suit your means.

I see. I've not seen that footage, but all the footage I've seen looked real enough.

Impossible to comment on the issue of radio control.

Sorry, I've not read the entire thread. Which planes didn't look real? The planes that hit the towers??


At the time, when I first saw the coverage (I'd been asleep and didn't awake until the afternoon when my brother came in and said put the television on) and saw the clip of the second 'plane (as only only the Naudet Brothers clip shows the first 'plane) hitting the tower.  Something in the back of mind made me think something was up.  The 'plane looked real enough.  It was just the way it went into the tower.  Not the actual impact but the angle of attack, so to speak.  It looked radio controlled.  Plus I didn't see any discernible markings on it.  I've seen low flying jumbos going in and out of Heathrow (I have family on the outskirts of London and I visited Kew once and that's on the flight path) and I can always see tail and fuselage markings.  It just didn't sit right with me at the time.

Just a gut feeling really that I had at the time.
