Or perhaps you're demanding that it be looked at by a member of the landed gentry?
Interesting that you haven't demanded a similar standard of evidence of the OP's video.
Easy, there! I'm playing devil's advocate, not "Leander's a quack"! You know darn good and well what a peer reviewed article is. But the quip about the land owning gentry was pretty funny! The OPs video is just that, and explained easily enough by your next point (after the adhom quip):
Heh, nice Adhom attack.
I thought that was funny!
There's a reason why stuff like this shows up on youtube, in fact there are a few articles within that site that explain why. Hint: It's the same reason anti-vax and alt-med types use it.
No arguments here on that point.
My point much earlier in the thread was that there is truth somewhere in the middle. If you are the type that thinks that the US Government is not above questionable acts to justify a war (Lusitania, Gulf of Tonkin, Pearl Harbor, Lend-Lease, Texas Raiders), then let ignorance be your shield. Was 9/11 an inside job? Who the hell knows. We're still arguing about JFK, and our government today has MUCH MORE ability to claim bullshit reasons for "need to know." Standing on the ground in a Basrah Oilfield protecting a KBR employee while in uniform at the same time Tricky Dick Cheney was assuring the American public that KBR was supplying their own protection -- this KBR employee was telling me that his group was there to build permanent bases for US troops (think Korea) so that we could launch the next part of the operation- carving off the oil fields in Iran. This was 2003. So, to recap. Was Osama CIA? He was assuredly trained by them. Were the towers rigged? Who knows. Did the US government use that attack to destroy what little civil rights we had left (USA PATRIOT) and go to war to secure oil interests in the middle east? Absolutely. So, being a vet of that stupid war, I could care fuck-all about the towers, honestly.
