Just for fun, let's examine a few absurdities at this link.
Quote:
119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran. 1 + 1 + 9 = 11.
Huh? Iraq's international country code is 964. Iran's is 98. Iran has no local code of 119. And what, exactly, is the relevance of Iraq and Iran to the 9/11 attacks anyway? That a lot of Muslims live there? Oh, wait! Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malyasia, where a majority of the populace is Muslim! 11 letters! OMG, eerie! (not... )
Quote:
The number of stories is 110 (2x) 110 - 110
Remember that the zero "0" is not a number, so we have 11:11
Yes, 0/zero is a number.
Quote:
New York City - 11 Letters
The city's name is New York. That's seven letters.
Quote:
Ramzi Yousef - 11 Letters
(convicted of orchestrating the bombing attack on the WTC in 1993.
He is a blind man.
He was a Muslim teacher in a mosque)
Yousef is not blind. The clueless maker of that website is obviously confusing him with Omar Abdel-Rahman, aka The Blind Sheikh. Also, Yousef has been in U.S. custody since 1995, years before the 9/11 plot was hatched and had nothing to do with its plaanning, therefore the obsession with there being eleven letters in some (but not all) transliterations of his name is irrelevant.

Manhattan Island was discovered on Sept. 11, 1609 by Henry Hudson -11 letters.
No, it wasn't. Hudson mapped it but Verrazzano discovered it nearly a century earlier.
Quote:
Trade Center is 11 letters, and Skyscrapers is 11 letters.
Quote:
The Prime Minister of Israel - Ariel Sharon - 11 Letters.
Quote:
The house where the terrorist are believed to have lived had # 10001
It's 'World Trade Center', not 'Trade Center'. And 'skyscrapers'? Seriously?
Q: What on Earth does Israel have to do with the subject? A: Nothing.
The house? You think all 20 (or 19, after Zacarias Moussaoui was arrested) lived in one house? They lived in many different houses, and you've found one with two 1's in the house number.
So, to sum up:
A lot of the claims on this website that you, for some inexplicable reason, give credence are just plain wrong, while other claims are so tangential or entirely irrelevant to the attacks that they're total reaches. Reminds me of JFK conspiracy theories like "But, Oswald's childhood's friend's accountant's brother-in-law died of a heart attack in 1983. Suspicious death! He was obviously silenced because he knew something!".
Welll… if you add the numbers up 9+11+2001 you get 2021. Should we prepare for a major event sometime in that year?
I suspect if we really knew, there was a major event of some sort planned for every year since 9/11.
Some of them have been carried out, although not as extreme as THE 9/11, but what I am talking about are the ones we citizens are just not aware of because someone was caught.
The War on Terror will never end.
A republic is supposed to guarantee our rights. A democracy will take those rights away if 50% plus one choose to do so.
