A classic Simpsons moment

You mean like this one: "9/11 - 2nd Plane Hit Collection: http://youtu.be/4oDHEIM1X1U" that shows 11 minutes of footage from nearly 20 different cameras?

See this. Your video doesn't even address the one I gave you.

And do you even know how many people would have been in Lower Manhattan at 8 AM that day? In 2000 there were over 1.5 million people living there, and we'll not even count the thousands of employees within the other buildings (like the 2700 Morgan Stanley employees) that would have been evacuated to the streets and actually SAW the happenings with their own eyes.

But did they? I actually posted a video with a lot of LIVE witnesses saying they neither heard nor saw a plane. And the reason I stress LIVE witnesses is because these gave their testimonies of what they observed before they were told what to believe they saw by the media and culture at large.

This is what gets me about you flaccid, ignorant, and pompous conspiracy theorists: even if you had a 1-on-1 conversation with somebody that was there, that saw it happen, hell, even if you could somehow communicate with the dead and spoke to the man in the cockpit, you won't believe it.

You idiot, I would have to weigh the evidence! There were many people who neither saw nor heard the plane. One person saying they saw a plane doesn't cancel that out!

If you just had ONE resource that was from a completely independent study, not another crackpot theorist, not a government researcher, JUST ONE notable fucking publication that could even show an ounce of truth to the wild fabrication of the fantasies you believe, you could possibly hold some level of respectability. Until that time comes, you are going to be ridiculed for your absolutely absurd and even downright harmful fanatical beliefs.

Yeah but unfortunately the gatekeepers of science aren't unbiased angels, and political correctness plays a huge factor in this entire discussion. However, there are studies clearly indicating that 9/11 was an inside job out there.

Additionally, 9/11 isn't even a science, it's a crime-scene investigation. The FBI don't publish their findings in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, they go to work with the data they've gathered and draw their own conclusions.

While I'm at it, the government that you think can somehow execute and hide one of the most complicated and devastating terrorist attacks on American soil, over a decade later, can't even get a website to function. Just let that settle for a minute. You're making the kid that eats glue in class out to be a brilliant mastermind. And even worse, it was under the Bush Administration, so it's the kid eating glue that also has Minor Neurocognitive Disorder. Come the fuck on.

The thing is, when you want to pull off something like this you don't hide every inch of evidence, that's how beginners operate. All you need to do is make it seem insane to the culture not to believe in the lie you're propagating. That's how the media has always worked, and that's why we're having this discussion: The evidence is there out in the open - mountains of it - but you assume a priori that it just can't be there because the government is incompetent, so it could never pull something like this off. If the evidence really was there, everyone would recognize it for what it is, right? We're all infinitely rational beings without biases, right? :)

Has it ever occurred to you that the government doesn't mind at all to be seen as incompetent by the populace, since they'll never suspect them of any planning and scheming that way?

Also, the government is a nearly useless term in this context, because it wasn't like every single civil servant in the entire US was in on it.
