Artful Dodger: "apparently because you've done all the thinking for us or something like that"
Having studied an event like 9/11 as I have (and I still continually study it), it is hard to come online, to a place where others haven't looked into it as I have, nor seen the materials I have seen, and know where to begin.
To me, it is an urgent issue. It is the pretext for an imperial agenda which has moved the American people to action; and, if my position on 9/11 is correct, it is the event which exposes the wickedness in high places as no other.
It is not my intention to do anyone's thinking for them. I've done a lot of research that I attempt to share. Again, it is hard to know where, or how, to begin. I will admit that I opted for the "shock treatment" approach here. I stated my conclusion, without indicating the research I'd done that led me to it. I do try to present evidence, a little at a time, that hopefully will catch someone's attention. I also recommend books & websites of those who have done more research than I, or who can otherwise explain things better than I....be more thorough, etc. All books are not equal, and all websites are not equal. But there are some extremely good ones, in both categories.
It is never easy to get across unwelcome news, no matter what approach one takes. What the Old Testament prophets had to say was not very pleasing to many Israelites, for an example. They were the Chosen people and Israel-Judah the Chosen nation(s). Many of us have felt the same way about America today.
So, please believe me when I say that, while my convictions are strong, I nevertheless desire that you and others look carefully into the matter for yourselves. It is the only possible way to firmly develop your own convictions, whatever they turn out to be. The question is monumental. And my honest opinion is that, no one can examine this evidence & conclude that the government's account of 9/11 is not fabricated, or that it is not complicit, unless some a priori assumption stands in the way of his/her reasoning powers. Yet that is only my opinion, and I am ever open to debate.
