  1. Break out the tin-foil hats!
    They need to put on a night-shift at the aluminum factory.
    It’s so damn hard keeping up with the demand from the leftie bar-nut crowd!

  2. Is this satire or sickness???
    “I set up an experiment testing how a plane might break up upon impacting arrayed steel columns …”
    Not necessary, the experiment has already been done.
    I feel one should always ignore web pages with coloured print on black backgroun.

  3. 4… 3… 2…. 1…
    You know CTV or CBC will be running with this headline any second now. Last summer they ran their 6:pm evening news with the startling headline that a planet/star (whatever) would be visible and appear as large as our moon that night!!
    It was an email hoax that had already been in our mailbox the previous winter.
    But hey, they are appeasing their masters, earning their keep by keeping the sheeple stuck on stupid, but of recent fooling fewer and fewer.
    Then there’s even another few, who, with clues firmly in hand still babble on and on about the LSM news “stories” as if they were real.

  4. Yeah, the government of GWB is so manifestly EVIL; that they conspired to kill ~3000 of its own citizens in the heart of its capitalistic society the WORLD TRADE CENTER.
    This is so TOTALLY plausible that a center right capitalist president, would engineer the destruction of his likely constituent supporters.
    Obviously, the rot of the corpses and the ensuing war on terror which cost some 2500 American soldiers their lives; was all just a massive plot to ensure Republicans retain control of the White House; instead of those dangling chad Al Gore Democrats.
    Evidently, there is some MIGHTY EXTRA STRENGTH TIN FOIL produced by that bastion of capitalism: Aluminum Corporation of America (Alcoa)
    Meanwhile, in a galaxy far, far away … Darth Vader of the EVIL EMPIRE is plotting the destruction of the noble rebel fleet.
    Yep, the world she is just so black and white. Yep , George W Bush is a naked fascist just like this gal with the GOD BLESS HITLER sign:

    Clearly, they are in league together!?!?!
    Self-deception raised to a new level of psychosis.
    Somebody bring out nurse Ratchet and the “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest” crowd. Where is Jack Nicholson when you really need him?

  5. Where are all the supposedly dead passengers of those flights hiding. Ann Coulter is right re the Jersey Girls, except according to this, their husbands are not dead and they and other survivors have conned the US government out of millions of dollars. They must have moved to New Orleans to scam the govt again as supposed victims of Katrina. Wait for this person to discover that Katrina never happened either.

  6. That’s so funny it hurts. No one could ever perfect the tone like that if they were trying to be funny. It’s like a deadpan lecture from someone who doesn’t know that his pants are around his ankles. Thanks for the laugh, Kate.

  7. I am beginning to wonder if the conspiracy theorists are a bit like the boy who cried wolf. We are all being pursuaded day after day that conspiracies are non existent and we laugh and make fun of those who so blindly believe and repeat them.
    If a real conspiracy ever does come along, I doubt that we’ll even recognize it as such because of preconditioning by idiots like this one and the many other loons out there.

  8. The comments are a scream:
    “eyesroll said…
    Hey, buddy!
    I took a bullet, held it in my hand, and pushed it real hard against my chest. It didn’t go in! It hardly even hurt!
    It’s all a conspiracy! Bullets can’t kill! Must be the CIA! Bush is up to something!
    Help me prove it! I need corroboration from you! Put a bullet in a gun, push it up against your chest, and pull the trigger! You can finally prove the conspiracy!
    Please?

  9. This is just the lefts usual historical revisionism.
    We tend to forget the left till Hitler invaded The Soviet Union . Felt that Roosevelt had purposely allowed Pearl Harbor. Only when there “uncle Joe” was involved the propaganda & stories stopped.
    To this day some believe this crap.
    Do these pests ever come up with anything novel or new?
    We all seen 9/11 (unless you where in the Big Brother “reality show”) with our own eyes. We heard the conversations on black boxes. We even removed some terrorists bodies.
    Only the mad or desperate would even conceive of such a sick theory. Anti-Semites where blaming Jews for it as well. The insanity of these dogmatists is becoming more apparent by the day.
    As reality clobbers them with truth.
    I have no problem thinking even the MSM, especially the MSM trying to make this a believable lie.
    In the interests of liberalism & socialism. If not to succor there fellow political travelers. The Jew hating islamofacists.
    Dumb move on there part. There end is sure now. Hear that CUPE?

  10. Me thinks somebody’s tinfoil hat is on too tight.
    This would be laughable if it wasn’t for the fact that 3,000+ people were reduced to pieces of burnt flesh, and thousands more were forever scarred emotionally because of the events of 9/11.

  11. Daniel,
    The problem is there are always conspiracies.
    There was the recent right-wing conspiracy
    to take over Canada.
    And then, of course, there was the conspiracy
    to assassinate Kennedy.
    What’s more, both weere successful.

  12. I had a quick look and I didn’t see any blame directed at the evil Jooooos(tm), which in itself indicates a conspiracy.
    I claim my tinfoil hat.

  13. if ya can’t handle reality, just invent a conspiracy . . . . helps with the cognitive dissonance thingy.

  14. Mississauga Matt :
    I was refering too the Arab denials after 9/11, & there conspiracy theories , that the Jews really bombed the twin Towers.
    Even some (few) idiots at work bought into that at the time. Even today you run into it.
    My main point is the decended crowd of those socialists, are still playing the same games with history.
    The context might change, but as Daniels shows. The content never does.

  15. Conspiracy theories: history for stupid people. And/or high functioning autistics. I can’t quite decide.
    Definitely the former, Kathy. My son is one of the latter, when I explained the gentleman’s theory about the WTC, he remarked, “what a fucking idiot”.

  16. For example, three months after the disaster, Ronald Hamburger, an expert in structural analysis at A.B.S. Consulting in Oakland, Calif., and a director of the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations, said he had not even been given access to basic blueprints describing where the steel and other structural elements had been when the World Trade Center was whole.
    “I’d like to be able to have a set of the drawings for all of the affected buildings,” Mr. Hamburger said. “I don’t have that.”
    So why do so many in the states want a new investigation?

  17. A growing number of fire protection engineers have theorized that “the structural damage from the planes and the explosive ignition of jet fuel in themselves were not enough to bring down the towers,” the editorial stated.
    “We have to learn from incidents through investigation to determine what types of codes should be in place and what are the best practices for high-rise construction,” Manning told the Daily News. “The World Trade Center is not the only lightweight, core construction high-rise in the U.S. It’s a typical method of construction.”
    Interviews with a handful of members of the team, which includes some of the nation’s most respected engineers, also uncovered complaints that they had at various times been shackled with bureaucratic restrictions that prevented them from interviewing witnesses, examining the disaster site and requesting crucial information like recorded distress calls to the police and fire departments…”This is almost the dream team of engineers in the country working on this, and our hands are tied,” said one team member who asked not to be identified. Members have been threatened with dismissal for speaking to the press. “FEMA is controlling everything,”
    The most respected engineers in the country want a new investigation. But their tin foil hats must keep your kids from from entering engineering?

  18. Okay Doug, you did it now. steved didn’t bite but neuroticsam did. He played with his Leggo and determined that the website in question was right. Having the misfortune of being home on 9/11 and watching the story unfold before my eyes on every tv channel, I really think that the conspiracy wingnuts are a waste of oxygen.

  19. Well my brother in-law used to keep going on about how it was an inside job with explosives.
    Finally after one to many times about him going on about it I dragged him out to the quonset.
    I had a metal shelving unit from Canadian Tire that I cleared off. I filled a burlap sack with hammers and put it on the top shelf to represent the weight of the top floors of the tower. Then we set propane branding torches to point at the 4 steel struts on the shelf below. Turned them to real low heat to represent the burning fuel oil from the plane. In a couple of minutes the struts softened and buckled from the weight on the top shelf . The weight & momentum of the top shelf falling sheared the bolts of each succeeding shelf until there was one big sack of hammers lying on the floor. (Two if you count my brother in-law)
    3000 people were murdered but some folks would prefer stupid answers instead of one they don’t like!
    texas canuck, the only good wingnuts are holding down the tops on an air filters

  20. Not true, neutralsam, you are peddling debunked conspiracy theories from the loose change site.
    I suggest that you go to the popular mechanics article on the same theories and see why these conspiracies are pure bs.
    And no I am not giving you the link because you can find it in a few seconds with google. And if you don’t want to do that then bugger off, because we don’t argue with idiots who are too lazy to do a simple search.
    jeez

  21. I did a little digging into the authors past.
    The following is his actual high school book report on the novel War and Peace.
    Too..many..words..losing..focus…
    Hey look something shiney.

  22. I’ve always believed the best humour is humour that is based in fact.That brings me to a favorite observation by the witty comedian Gallager(I believe):
    If you really want to scare yourself think about the following…First,look at our population and consider just how stupid the AVERAGE person really is!…Now,remember that by definition,HALF of the people around you are stupider than that!
    This guy is definitely living life in an”altered reality”!

  23. Do you think some of these lefty conspiracy nutbars should have spent a little more time in science class and a bit less time in drama class?

  24. “You know CTV or CBC will be running with this headline any second now. Last summer they ran their 6:pm evening news with the startling headline that a planet/star (whatever) would be visible and appear as large as our moon that night!!”
    That’s not what I’d call a really “solid” description. Which station, which program/reporter fell for it, and it was a planet [Mars] that the hoax concerned.

  25. Y’know all, the best satire is that which mimics real life. …er…the guy IS joking isn’t he? He’s ….not?
    *sigh*

  26. neutralsam said “The most respected engineers in the country want a new investigation…”
    I assume he is talking about Stephen E. Jones, the nutbar at the forefront of this conspiracy theory. Perhaps neutralsam should also persue one of Jones’ other papers, wherein he claims that Jesus Christ visited the Indians in North America after the resurrection…
    I could have sworn that I saw two aircraft flying into towers on 9/11…

  27. I liked the
    comment at OTB
    (where I cross posted the item);
    “Just a passing thought, but if you accept the premise that Bush pulled a Reichstag and was behind the 9/11 events, wouldn’t it have made sense for him to have implicated Saddam in it? I mean if he is willing to kill thousands of Americans to start up a war, what would stop him from lying about it? Does the left have no quality control when they start making up loony theories?”

  28. Wayne in Wetaskawin,
    That was an excellent model to demonstrate what would have happened after the planes hit (or didn’t, as the nuts believe). Don’t forget that there were plenty of combustibles in those towers that would have burned and increased the heat to the point where the columns would fail. It also helps to debunk the controlled demolition idea. I assume that the collapse and destruction of the shelving unit was fairly vertical and it didn’t just fall over.
    Spooked has progressed well beyond the tin foil hat stage. I think his Velform sauna belt was wrapped around his head was too tight, the heat was too high and the timer broke. His brain cell has obviously melted.

  29. Kate isn’t strange that most thought Saddam did have something to do with it, even today there are people who believe that Saddam was Usama’s best friend.
    Over half the people in NY city want the investigation reopened.
    It’s not the wingnuts that are saying they heard explosions,it’s every news outlet that was there plus the police and firemen all said they heard explosions.
    On 9/11 every station said after this explosion or after the secondary explosions then the build fell.
    Thats what they said.

    No they came from FireEngineering.com check out the issue of jan.2002

  30. The butler did it in the drawing room with the candlestick holder but the second shot was from the grassy knoll.
    Do not feed the trolls, do not feed the trolls, do not feed the trolls, doh!
    I’m out of tinfoil, will Saran Wrap do?

  31. Rev,
    Sorry for being so late in replying. Anyhoo, I wasn’t responding to your post, in fact I missed it (sorry ’bout that).

  32. I’m making a mental note of the posters who dismiss this as fantasy…because the crappy 9/11 report has opened the administration to such speculation by it’s exclusive and bungling handling of the investigation……and it is now wide spread and going mainstream with plenty of engineers and others in the professional community questioning the official story on why steal structures we damaged this badly by kerosine fires which were out by the time of the collapse…and then there was Building 7 which had structural damage at all aside from a small internal fire from the electrical system…it went down like the towers…official story was this was due to the fire…which was never hot enough to damage its steel structure…so say many structural engineers and the underwriters.

  33. The proof that 9/11 was not the result of a compliant US Government can be found in the actions of Bush & Co since.
    They did nothing to capitalize on that horrible event to pursue their own objectives.
    They even admitted that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
    Anyone of you ditto-heads want to buy a bridge? I have one for sale.

  34. WLM redux
    Best add me to your list because I “dismiss this as a fantasy”. It is becoming a Litmus test by which one can quickly determine whether someone is a person of reason, or is a person who readily believes ‘alternate and new realities’.
    Cheers

  35. “I’m making a mental note of the posters who dismiss this as fantasy..”
    Yes, Yes!! add me to your list.

  36. Planting the explosives was easy. The hard part was…
    … getting our co -conspirator Osama to take credit for the attack even as we forced him to live the rest of his life in a cave
    Or
    … planning the greatest criminal conspiracy in history when I was Governor of Texas and then getting my co-conspirator to remain silent even as I decimated his organization
    Or,
    … anticipating that these crazed fanatics were
    about to attack the WTC
    Or,
    …learning about the impending attacks and then, rather than guarantee permanent hero status by thwarting them, making them doubly effective
    Or,
    … stifling an irrestible urge to liberate Muslims for all those years even as I pretended not to be interested in foreign affairs.

  37. It will make great copy once it becomes widely known that Rove had jars of trained fruit flies smuggled onto the 9-11 jetliners to swarm the pilots and stewardesses as an aid for the take overs by hypnotized Saudi and Egyptian pawns.
    The link between Rove and Suzuki remained deeply hidden until a secret meeting was arranged during the filming of “Brokeback Mountain” where the good doctor was demonstrating the effectiveness of his new hybrid killer sheep. The real Heath Ledger hasn’t been seen in public since. Noting Rove’s mastery of disguise, it’s interesting that Rove and the “post meeting” Ledger are never in the same room at the same time. Although I’ve never seen the movie, there are some that say Ledger’s acting suddenly showed great improvement immediately after the secret meeting.
    Another concerning rumour is that Suzuki’s next project is to weaponize the geese inhabiting Regina’s Wascana creek to carry explosives into Mexican timeshare resorts (at Rove’s command, of course).

  38. The 9/11 attacks were a deadly serious assault on our way of life, thousands were killed by fascist *ssholes. So a person almost feels guilty for laughing about anything to do with those attacks. That being said, some people are so whacked out and stupid it simply comes across as being too funny, one can’t help but laugh at such completeness of idiocy.

  39. Of course New Yorkers are so self absorbed they would never notice hundreds of engineers removing wall panels, drilling holes in the structural supports, inserting 1/4 sticks or more of dynamite into each hole, inserting a detonator and precision timing devices, running wires all through the building…..
    All the while, no one in the WTC would have noticed that their cell phones and wireless networks (and the microwaves in the coffe rooms, the radios of the security and maintainence staffs and other electronic devices would be deactivated for a period of weeks or months while the set up was being done to prevent premature detonation.
    I once saw a rather small building being destroyed in a controlled implosion, the building had been blocked off for several weeks so the engineers could examine it for unexpected or undocumented changes to the blueprints and do all the preparation work (they had to remove all the interior drywall, since that would have increased the amount of explosive needed past the saftey limit). When the big day came, I have to tell you the scene was totally unlike what I saw on 9/11, not even close.
