    Very interesting to watch (slick and selective editing of clips), but not really suited to Television.

    Moving to Conspiracy Theories.

    Awh, we got two already. :(

    like all these ...... we can only see what we want to see ....now give us the answer we want to hear and we'll believe we were right ....otherwise ...its all a conspiracy.

    He's representing the families of the victims of 9/11? Who appointed him to represent them? He has no right saying that when I'm sure most of the families believe the official report.

    What right has he to demand anything? If a new independant report came back, after having millions of dollars spent going over all their points, and re-evaluating everything, and still didn't agree with what they said, they'd say its lying.

    I think its time for them to Wake Up™

    Captain Furball, 3 threads for the same video counts as SPAM to me. I've closed the other 2 threads and you've received an infraction.

    I haven't seen that video yet, thanks for the post.

    I'd say fair play to him.. But really.. does he think the President is going to listen to him because he's an actor... ah.... NO!!

    911 families DO NOT believe the official story, and why would they? it's full of so many inconsistencies, only a fool would.

    "The continuing cover-up is beyond belief," - Bill Doyle, representative of largest 911 familes

    Some of you are simply afraid to face reality.
    Even with incontrovertible evidence, you'd dismiss it all and believe in fantasy just to sleep better at night.

    Yeah but it wouldn't matter if he was Morgan Freeman or Zombie Jesus or any high caliber people coming to support "the cause". It doesn't matter because once you side with the movement, put forward the questions and be seen with Jones, you are labeled a cook and the end goal/target (investigation) is impossible.

    The Truth Movement has killed off any change of that end goal. "If you have any questions about that day please consult your psychologist!" (not an insult)

    No, its not like that at all, the valid questions have been overshadowed by a large proportion of CT'ers putting forward the same arguments and skewing quotes, even doctoring images.
    I never doctored images myself but I did bring up the same arguments a couple of years back on this very forum.
    The Official line (story) didn't help much by having such ambiguity and secrecy surrounding some questions that they put down to security issues or refused to comment on. Actually all this conspiracy probably helped divert the attention away from themselves and their failings.

    People here aren't afraid to face reality. Please don't act like you are the only enlightened person here. A lot of people get worked up about 9/11 on both sides and most that will would hesitate to admit that they were at least somewhat obsessed with the subject.

    Sad Anniversary!

    Many are aware both invasions of Iraq/Afghanistan are largely about oligarchs making money in the middle east and central asia, this is easily proven when you read up about it.

    It's just business, making money from oil and gas while many many more people believe it's about fighting terrorism, about conflicting ideologies and religion which is nothing more than a distraction.

    It's just business as usual..and they'll tell you anything you want to hear, if that makes you more comfortable with it all.

    911 is just one of many events where loss of life occurred because of corrupt people in power making decisions in their own self interests.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭Nick_oliveri


    Yes The Bush Administration used 9/11 to invade these countries, Oil is a laughable excuse to use when you consider the billions of dollars of deficit or debt that the USA has built up over these wars.

    I do believe Bush should be tried for crimes and violations of conventions and code. The supposed links between Saddam and Al-Queda, the yellowcake uranium. The 45min fearmongering strike time... Yes, in the context of 9/11 it would make you think, and I certainly have thought about it, but your focus is misdirected in my opinion, either the absolute evidence with clear links that Bush or whoever are responsible for the event or they are not. They certainly took advantage of the situation, and whats worse, they tied Saddam with Usama. That was really bad.

    Step back and look what credibility the movement has, whether it be the MSM or the average Joe. Nothing can be accomplished with that sort of credibility IMO.

    Yes, tax payer dollars, big difference wouldn't you say?

    And oil as excuse wasn't used, but it is the main reason.I'm covering ground of another thread, but what i posted was:

    On Iraq:

    “I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil,” - Alan Greenspan

    The Iraqi National oil company are in charge of 17 oil fields while the remaining 63 are controlled by foreign oil companies.

    Excluding those 17, current reserves are estimated between 110-150 billion barrels but there's thought to be twice this amount or more just waiting to be pumped out of the ground.

    Lets say there are 300 billion barrels, which would be sold at a cost of $50 each, this would generate $15 trillion, at current prices, we're looking at $21 trillion in revenue..most of this money is going to the foreign oil companies!! not Iraqi people!!

    US also took the liberty of making some changes...

    All Iraqi oil fields found in future will be developed exclusively for foreign companies.

    The Corporate tax rate was dropped from 40% to 15%.

    Foreign oil companies were granted contracts of 25-40 years.

    Afghanistan

    Traditionally, Russia have controlled most of central asias gas and oil.

    There are rich oil fields in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, but the problem was acquiring it.

    To break up OPEC and control the world's oil supply, it is also helpful to control Middle East and central Asiatic oil producing countries through which oil pipelines traverse.

    The first attack and occupation was of Afghanistan, October 2001, in itself a gas producing country, but primarily a country through which Central Asia and the Caspian Sea oil and gas will be shipped (piped) to energy-starved Pakistan and India.

    Afghanistan also provided an alternative to previously existing Russian pipelines. Simultaneously, the U.S. acquired military bases-19 of them-in the Central Asian countries of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan in the Caspian Basin, all of which are potential oil producers.

    After the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S. controlled the natural resources of these two countries and, once again, Iraq's oil began to be traded in U.S. dollars. The UN's oil for food production program was scrapped and the U.S. Iaunched its Iraqi Assistance Fund in U.S. dollars. In December 2003, the U.S. (Pentagon) announced that it had barred French, German, and Russian oil and other companies from bidding on Iraq's reconstruction.

    If you're curious, some research on Enron and their dealings with the Taliban would go along way to explaining the invasion of Afghanistan.

    And i'm sure you're aware the invasion of Afghanistan was planned years in advance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭Nick_oliveri


    Yes, but what you are missing is that the US didn't bother with the UN and just went ahead with the invasion anyways. Even if 9/11 didn't happen they could have done it without the support of the people for whatever nefarious reasons. 9/11 helped a lot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    You're still glossing over the point. Your claim is that 9/11 was commited by the government as an excuse to invade those countries. Everyone else is saying that 9/11 was simply used as a good excuse, but wasn't caused by the government.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 259 ✭✭weiss


    I doubt they would have had the same level of support had 9/11 not happened..

    Since the bush administration had been planning an invasion years in advance, 9/11 appears to me, a way to gain support from the american people.

    For me anyway, it's all about making money.

    Not for american people, not for iraqi people or anyone else except the oligarchs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    But that doesn't mean they commited 9/11, they simply took it as the perfect excuse.

    Not sure if you're referring to me ;)

    But i never argued the government was behind 911, correct me with some quotes if i'm wrong.

    What i would say is that corruptible elements with authority inside the government had some part to play in it.

    It would make sense if they needed an excuse to invade Iraq/Afghanistan for the gas and oil.

    Bush couldn't just go on TV and tell american people "me and my friends want control of oil and gas in middle east and central asia and we're going to use your tax dollars to do it"

    Nice to see that they have 55,000 views already on youtube.
    They have it on the front page where i assume it will remain.
    My hats off to charlie for doing this it took a lot of balls and in fairness he does have power.A lot more than the person reading this post has.So get off your high horse whoever is moaning about this or that.

    I can't understand it, what does it take to please some people?

    I was going to ask if people thought this was career suicide but then I don't know if its possible to sink any lower then Two and a Half Men.

    Martin must be so proud.

    Lame.

    He's just regurgitating the same old long debunked crap that every other bull**** site spews.

    I can't decide if he's trying to make a buck or if he's drunk the Kool-aid.

    Either way I'm unimpressed by Charlie Sheen.

    Captain Furball, infracted for baiting and post removed.

    I just took it from your posts that you were saying that the US government commited 9/11 as an excuse to invade. Sorry if I'm wrong about that. For what it's worth, I do believe the main point of the invasions was oil and land (as well as deflecting away from a horrific presidential term), but that 9/11 happened and the spin doctors thought it was a perfect excuse that lots of people would back.

    Anyway, that's kind of getting off topic. :D

    With regards Sheen, as I said in another thread, I feel that he's definitely the wrong person to use as a figure head. He doesn't exactly give off an air or respectability that, say his father would give. And his sordid past will be brought up pretty much every time this stunt is brought up.

    Exactly. Why Sheen? Why is he getting involved? He wrote that letter, the fake conversation between himself and Obama, and he wrote that Obama likes his show, and compliments him at the end for being so thorough in his research. He also makes Obama seem rude, like how he asked for a 30 minute interview, but Obama only had time for a 20 minute one. Its not real. Why are you placing these fictional limits on yourself?

    He's crazy. He's completely flipped


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Torakx


    ah i thinks he is ok :)

    he is geting a message out there that 9/11 was not as it seems at first.
    i dont now for sure who exactly did it. but we can all agree the persons benefiting the most were involved in oil and security etc
    and not iraqis or anyone else over there unless you want to count some isreali guys selling land resources etc....i dunno.

    i just have a strong feeling after looking at the stuff that has gone on in the past that it isnt just coincedence it looks like history is repeating. i think it actually is.

    Nope, he is saying the opposite, that it is exactly what it seemed at first to him:

    Charlie Sheen: "it just didn't look like any commercial jetliner I've flown on any time in my life and then when the buildings came down later on that day I said to my brother, 'Call me insane, but did it sorta look like those buildings came down in a controlled demolition?"

    So to his untrained eye it resembled a controlled demolition and he is sticking by that despite plenty of evidence out there that it only superficially resembled a controlled demolition.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Torakx


    you misunderstood me i think.
    regardless of his motives i think its good he is putting A message out there be it true or not it will gain attention and hopefully shake people a bit and make them wake up and look around at life and politics a bit more.
    too many are just watching TV and not really learning what is going on out in the big bad world.

    there probably is no proof available. if there was he would be slandered even more. albeit not actually sentenced to jail time as he is untouchable.
    i guess you have to consider alot of things when looking at so many of these topics.

    theres a bigger picture and it has been in the process of painting for many generations.i think it was noticeably started when the monetary system managed to get a hold of the USA.most likely before that.

    now dont ask me for direct evidence on all that.youd have to look at what happened through history regarding alot of topics then stand back and get an idea of where it is going etc.

    il try give an example of the bush families intents.
    one of the previous Bush's not george W bush anyway. stated back in the 1940's? that there will be a new world order.he said it with alot of conviction and assured us that it will happen.
    so 40-70 years later(excuse the time frame)we see the new world order being openly talked about on TV.
    i dont think it is coincedence at all.im pretty sure G.W.Bush is also looking for a new world order.and obama and anyone else who makes it into public office there.
