I'll outright admit to only having read about a third of the transcript, because that was how long it took me to realize that it's essentially just a bunch of people making some truly extraordinary claims with absolutely no supporting evidence. You want me to believe that half the cities in the United States are wired with nuclear explosives and that the gummint has had the capability to remotely take control of commercial aircraft since the late eighties? Prove it.

To address two specific points...

Right. The video footage from dozens of independent sources and all the eyewitness accounts are forgeries. It's not possible that they called it ridiculous because it actually is ridiculous.

So you're presupposing that an aircraft made out of aluminum alloys (which, for the record, is not the same as one made from aluminum) couldn't penetrate a building face made out of steel, glass and concrete?

Of course that must be true, because aluminum is soft and steel is hard. Also, it's equally impossible for a high pressure jet of water to cut through metal, including steel and titanium. Velocity isn't a factor at all.

This is all the same pap as always; I won't even address the directed energy bullshit, since it's already been discussed in an earlier thread (although I am rather fond of the image of Rumsfeld standing on the Sears Tower with a blaster). The so-called truth movement would be much easier to get behind if any of it's supporters could come up with one solid, incontrovertible piece of evidence. I still believe it's more about people's desire to mistrust the government and catch them in the act of screwing the people than anything that actually happened.
