You say I only mention The Pentagon.
The 9/11 thing is a huge subject and I don't know enough about it to form a fully watertight "conspiracy theory".
I think it's probably better to concentrate on one aspect of 9/11,which would consequently,bring the rest of it crashing down eventually.
The Pentagon strike is I think the most convincing of all the theories.

I keep seeing references as to whether or not the US government would contemplate killing it's own citizens. Perhaps they would, I don't know.
But I DO know that they would not bring down both of those towers with all of the additional collateral losses this would cause! Has anybody ever published an estimate of the total costs involved?

I can't see how it's conceivable that a US politician would consider murdering several thousand people for so little potential gain, when imagining some WMD would achieve just the same.

tbh Nayda, I don't think the commmercial cost of the buildings an issue.

It's the completely nonsensical view that the US government would want to murder several thousand people, and do so without leaving any evidence that strikes me as bonkers.

Mc Moonbeam. Well, the costs to the insurance underwriters must have been effing enormous!!
But, over and above the cost of the bare buildings...I am referring to the costs on a global scale to all the companies involved, and all the companies involved with them.
Losing the World Trade Centre did not just cost 2 buildings and 3,000 lives. It shook the foundations of the whole financial world.

despite big insurance sums being involved money was not the main motivator.  it was a symbolic display of the beginning of the plan to destroy the financial system, and for the destruction of the veil of deceit that is hiding the truth about all things from everyone. the truth will come out officially in due course.  these symbols act as subliminals and implant certain thoughts in one's head unseen by the conscious mind but processed by the consciousness beneath conscious levels aiding the plan of collapse (with consciousness being everything and we create our own future reality according to the group subconscious desire which is manipulated constantly by the subliminals of the physical plain not least media and events!).

however the subliminal has also triggered the begin of the collapse of veil of deceit resulting in the same process as above causing people to see through the lies and start to see the truth by connecting the dots.  when enough dots are presented and attempt made at connecting them, the connection becomes automatic and a conscious effort to see through the lies is no longer required.

heard this before cristo? .. "For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad."   of course you know where that comes from :)

2012 is a turning point whereby some will figure out the consciousness business and consciously continue life in a new paradigm of what will essentially to the present layman seem supernatural in terms of man's ability - a kind of giant leap in man's evolution.  other people will experience their reality continuing at this stage in man's evolution where he is not in control of his reality and therefore with increasing disasters and cataclysms.  choose wisely would be my suggest about what you want to see.  all these films depicting the end of the world etc only seek to implant further subliminals to condition your subconscious into delivering the poorer of those two options - be aware of what they are and what is transpiring at all times and the subliminals will cease to effect you and the future will be more like your conscious desires.. hopefully :)

I appreciate that the actual building cost is tiny compared to the effect on the stock market. That's what some of these guys don't seem to grasp. The costs were astronomical!

obama's ineligibility will become official at some point in the near future btw. i jumped the gun initially saying they would not let him take office but since learned the reasons why it was being allowed. he is in to accomplish certain things and then be scapegoated for the robbery of billions in tax money via the stimulus sham and all his other legislation that is littered with junk pet project spending, waste and deals for his union cronies whom he is trying to use to increase his voting base via immigration (since americans hate his policies).  he is then to be removed and it will be hailed a miracle that the country managed to survive and a hero crowned having been selected by god in the american public's eye. this fella will return them to constitutional rule.

naydam - the symbolism and subliminals achieved with the attack and consequential collapse were beyond priceless to those in control.  their entire agenda to permanently enslave our minds into this limited state of awareness and consciousness that we are currently experiencign hinges upon it.  the subliminals are everything because that's all reality is, an idea.  the subliminals are the suggestion required for us to create the future accordingly :)

and you need to bear in mind that money-wise, their wealth is essentially bottomless, since the artificial bankruptcy based economy we use is their creation and as they own it they cream it accordingly

DonWarro is correct in everyway. It is possible to project our collective hopes and desires in a positive way. Collectively our consciousness is evolving and the `elite` are aware of this. They realise that we are on to them, and their agenda. The more desperate they become, the more they will lose the mask and their lies will become obvious.

Ownership, Control, and Insurance of The World Trade Center
The World Trade Center complex came under the control of a private owner for the first time only in mid-2001, having been built and managed by the Port Authority as a public resource. The complex was leased to a partnership of Silverstein Properties and Westfield America. 1   2   The new controllers acquired a handsome insurance policy for the complex including a clause that would prove extremely valuable: in the event of a terrorist attack, the partnership could collect the insured value of the property, and be released from their obligations under the 99-year lease. 3   

Ownership Change
Author Don Paul investigated this and related issues for his 2002 book, which contains the following passage detailing financial aspects and ownership changes of the complex preceding the attack.

On April 26 of 2001 the Board of Commissioners for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey awarded Silverstein Properties and mall-owner Westfield America a 99-year-lease on the following assets: The Twin Towers, World Trade Center Buildings 4 and 5, two 9-story office buildings, and 400,000 square feet of retail space.

The partners' winning bid was $3.2 billion for holdings estimated to be worth more than $8 billion. JP Morgan Chase, a prestigious investment-bank that's the flagship firm of its kind for Rockefeller family interests, advised the Port Authority, another body long influenced by banker and builder David Rockefeller, his age then 85, in the negotiations.

The lead partner and spokesperson for the winning bidders, Larry Silverstein, age 70, already controlled more than 8 million square feet of New York City real estate. WTC 7 and the nearby Equitable Building were prime among these prior holdings. Larry Silverstein also owned Runway 69, a nightclub in Queens that was alleged 9 years ago to be laundering money made through sales of Laotian heroin. 4   

In December 2003, the Port Authority agreed to return all of the $125 million in equity that the consortium headed by Silverstein originally invested to buy the lease on the World Trade Center. The Port Authority rejected a request by the Wall Street Journal to review the transaction. 5   A press report from November 2003 about the same transaction noted that it would allow Silverstein to retain development rights. 6   


The lease deal didn't close until July 24th, just 6 weeks before the attack. 7   

Insurance Payouts
Don Paul also documented the money flows surrounding the loss of Building 7.

In February of 2002 Silverstein Properties won $861 million from Industrial Risk Insurers to rebuild on the site of WTC 7. Silverstein Properties' estimated investment in WTC 7 was $386 million. So: This building's collapse resulted in a profit of about $500 million. 8   
The insurance money flows involved in the destruction of the original six World Trade Center buildings were far greater. Silverstein Properties, the majority owner of WTC 7, also had the majority interest in the original World Trade Center complex. Silverstein hired Willis Group Holdings Ltd. to obtain enough coverage for the complex. Willis undertook "frenetic" negotiations to acquire insurance from 25 carriers. The agreements were only temporary contracts when control of the WTC changed hands on July 24. 9   

After the attack, Silverstein Properties commenced litigation against its insurers, claiming it was entitled to twice the insurance policies' value because, according to a spokesman for Mr. Silverstein, "the two hijacked airliners that struck the 110-story twin towers Sept. 11 were separate 'occurrences' for insurance purposes, entitling him to collect twice on $3.6 billion of policies." This was reported in the Bloomberg News less than one month after the attack. 10   

The ensuing legal battle between the leaseholders and insurers of the World Trade Center was not about how the 9/11/01 attack on the WTC could be considered two attacks, when the WTC was only destroyed once. Rather it seemed to revolve around whether the beneficiaries thought it was one or two "occurrences." The proceedings before U.S. District Judge John S. Martin involved a number of battles over the insurers' discovery rights regarding conversations about this issue between insurance beneficiaries and their lawyers. 11   12   

In December 2004, a jury ruled in favor of the insurance holders' double claim. 13   

A Parable
To put these events in perspective, imagine that a person leases an expensive house, and immediately takes out an insurance policy covering the entire value of the house and specifically covering bomb attacks. Six weeks later two bombs go off in the house, separated by an hour. The house burns down, and the lessor immediately sues the insurance company to pay him twice the value of the house, and ultimately wins. The lessor also gets the city to dispose of the wreckage, excavate the site, and help him build a new house on the site.

Sunset - I know I shouldn't indulge you, because I have already proven beyond doubt that the video is fake




This is a blatant lie.You have done no such thing. Quite the reverse in fact. The only thing you have proved is that you need to grow up .


and you have proven beyond all doubt that you are dumb,


Again you resort to personal insults rather than provide any evidence for your beliefs. Grow up.


but for the benefit of the casual reader, I'll persistif it exposed you as either a paid operative or, more likely, just thick.

More insults. This says more about you than me.


I'm going to ask you some questions and you have to answer them and not post questions back;

1. Do you understand the laws of reflection?

Just a simple yes or no and then we'll continue.




Your taking the piss. I've been asking you questions for over 3 weeks now. You have ignored my questions and now you expect me to start answering your questions. This is a joke. I will starting answering your questions when you have answered my questions.

I really don't have the will to read through every post on this thread so apologies if this question has been discussed previously.
It's ludicrous in the extreme to believe that America could have organised the attacks from within (it would surely involve thousands of people, if not tens of thousands, to be in on it)but one thing has always struck me as odd:

Is there really only one, time delayed, camera trained on the Pentagon??



I don't know. It does seem strange if there is only one. Probably there are others, but they were not pointing in the right direction at the moment of impact. If it was a missile why didn't the Global elite fake a good quality cctv showing a plane hitting the Pentagon?
