Once upon a time the crazies were just ostracized in their own towns. Now they are online and breeding.

I appreciate your humor. Yes, our government "for the people and by the people", wait, that is what Trump is trying to bring back from the dead!

There are too many unanswered questions. At the very least, our government allowed this to happen in order to get all up in our business while leaving borders open and admitting and even paying to bring in immigrants from countries that want to bring us harm.

Listening only to one source or trusting a government report is just

There are many people who confess the truth on their deathbeds, especially if it involves a "wrong". We have a lot of people who refuse to accept that our government is corrupt, bought by big money and the march toward globalism will be deadly.

Perhaps some aren't aware of the gold and silver vaults below the WTC complex. Adds another interesting twist to the entire situation. Mainstream media didn't mention it much except in NYC.

Gold Buried Under the World Trade Center - 9/11 Encyclopedia - September 11 10th Anniversary – NYMag
From that story (there are many others):

G2: Ingot Inflation (30 pound bars)

Value of a gold bar on September 10, 2001:
$214,392.24

Value of a gold bar on August 22, 2011:
$1,498,859.48

When in doubt refer to Occam's razor. The simplest explanation is usually the right one.
This. I was about to refer to Occam's Razor. People generally cannot mentally accept events that are so far out of the norm that they accept dubious facts to try and understand, and to control the utter chaos that sometimes happens when some events string together and create an outlier that no one anticipated.

Well, that's it then. An alleged former CIA Agent makes a claim so it must be fact.

No reasonable explanation?
Then why did it do it - "pancake in seconds"? Because there IS a reasonable explanation.

It's like dominoes in that it only takes one collapsing floor to collapse the entire building......... top floor/bottom floor - makes no difference. No floor can withstand the weight of the floor above it collapsing.

Osama Bin Laden innocent?
Nah.

Absolutely correct. Come to think of it, I am going to play a joke when I croak too. On my deathbed I am going to say I know where the government has a secret Big Foot facility, and they are breeding them as super warriors. Every once in a while, one of them escapes and the men in black bring them back to the farm !

I bet the conspiracy nuts will eat that up like cornflakes !
