Doesn't it make more sense that we intentionally blew up a small building no one cares about?

It does if there was gold in it! (This is a real thing someone I met in college suggested; basically the government saw Die Hard With A Vengeance and decided to steal some of that sweet Saudi gold)

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

I think it's the "freefall time" thing that bewilders me the most. How else does stuff collapse?

The inference there is that a building falling at the rate of the acceleration of Gravity means that there is no structure in the way of the falling debris, which in turn means that it was a controlled demolition where all the floors or the foundation was destroyed at once. Supposedly "there is no way for a building for fall at G from a fire!" as my physics degree holding friend likes to say.

The problem with this insinuation is that it's predicated on specious data. The idea that the building fell "at G" is taken from a few angles of grainy footage that only show the top few floors of the building, scant few eyewitness accounts, and some loose math working backwards to get an acceleration of G.

In reality the building collapsed not at g but at same rate a debris riddled, fully on fire building that had reached it's breaking point falls at: fast.

It's all weasel words and jargon to try and sound like they know what's up.

They think that the towers fell too fast, that they should have started slow and then picked up speed as more rubble-mass fell.

Hey, whoever posted this:

PUT ME IN CHARGE posted:

This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future she's worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she's being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion.

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX , Nov 18, 2011

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal legations. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the "common good.."

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov't subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov't welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

It turns out that that's from a thing!

The idea that the US ignored evidence of an attack on Pearl Harbor has been around forever. It's not one that's supported in any way by the evidence, but there's a certain 'stupid' logic to the theory. It takes a special kind of idiot to think that Pearl Harbor was some kind of false flag operation. I'm having trouble thinking of what that theory would entail that the more common one wouldn't, other then mind-rending stupidity of course.
