And yet no one forced you to make this post, please stop with the childish slander and let's get back on topic
Putting the way the OP was presented aside,
You are still basing your facts on a case that is still in process and allegations by nitpicking every "single leads or assumptions about evidence on the chance that inadequate attention had been paid, beforehand ..." "...we have yet to see exactly the breakthroughs" that are , so far, unsupported ... ( by the videos you have portrayed as your leading points ) All unsupported coincidences, sure they are fishy, anything can be fishy when you point it out IMO, but the fact that they go without backing and without "thorough totality of evidence " , IMO, you have no right to criticize other peoples beliefs, right or wrong as they may be.
Don't get me wrong . . if it looks like a duck, smells like a duck and acts like a duck, generally it is, ( regarding the conspiracy ) and i am a pretty open- minded to conspiracy theories ; but that's what they are, theories until proven otherwise.

I don't really think this has to do with closed-mindedness, I just don't see anything EVER in all those theories that add up even in the slightest bit.
Besides it doesn't even make it more likely in my eyes. Who says that they didn't just use 9/11 as an excuse and sent out the anthrax and blamed it on the terrorists? Doesn't mean they had anything to do with 9/11. No real leader sacrifies 50000 innocent people like that just to fund some half asssed assassinations.
I really hope this is some kind of parody thread because you come across as pretty insane Travis. Wake up to what? I don't think you're any smarter than me and I doubt I overlooked any facts about this whole thing. It's just way more likely that this anthrax stuff was a reaction to 9/11 instead of a part of 1 big plan.
Even if it was connected to 9/11, it makes the whole conspiracy more unlikely to me because the whole plan is extremely flawed. And you don't make a flawed plan on purpose just so people will think it couldn't have been the government, that's too risky.
Why do you want to believe this so badly lol, most people just look at what's there and come to conclusions instead of looking at things that aren't there, you're just fooling yourself.

I don't buy the "terrorists hate our freedom so they attack us" argument. It's far too simple. However just adding one level of complexity makes little sense. The Government carried out 9/11 to create support for the war in Iraq to earn them money? Way too simple. I think Muslim extremists carried out the attacks in order to create support for the war in Iraq in order to make America intensely unpopular in the middle east and therefore create huge amounts of support for Muslim extremism in the region. You have to ask yourself who the real benefitors of 9/11 to find out who was behind it and the answer is Osama. Need any more proof? Osama hated Saddam. By committing 9/11 he caused the invasion of Iraq and the subsequent death of Saddam.
Easy proof.
Of course we could add another level of complexity. You see the Jews used Osama to use the Government of America to start a global ideological conflict in which the state of Israel is an important ally and therefore richly rewarded. Furthermore the conflict benefits Jewish financiers and by being on the side of America they get regional supremacy without actually having to pay for it, nor even have to fight for it. The destruction of the enemies of Israel, paid for by the American taxpayer with the profits going to the Jews. It's so simple.

Whereas being completely condescending, i don't think he ever criticized anyone for doing that( being condescending that is )
His apparent bias , isn't being ....completely close- minded, I'm sure if we discuss the matter in a somewhat civilized way ; he can give a little credence and we can come up with a agreement or compromise.
He seems like an intelligent person , perhaps some very heated arguments ( he's done before ) not experienced before by us , have created a strong tension in this thread , we can't judge him off the bat , (not being in his shoes , per se ).
Although the comments / replys he's posted in this thread are generally in agreement to the allegations against him ...
We can only see :O ; in other words i await this discussion/debate and hope it's in a more conservative manner of speaking; however liberal this topic may be.

yes, I was.

Oh , i'm sorry for the mis understanding, of course it's possible, hell, the "coincidences" and all the "unlikely timings" merely just point out how true it is, but still it's still .. "up in the air" with no completely proof so i wouldn't go as far to " put my foot down" as you have , rather hard.. i must say.
" people don't actually read. they just come in, state their ignorant bullshit opinions, don't educate theirselves at all. I am trying a different approach. "
I must admit, if you hadn't done... all the gimmicks in your OP i wouldn't have watched the videos and/or even replied with anything other than , "wow that post was rather annoying to read" as people are basically doing ( don't blame them )
Was that your main incentive for posting like that? O_o

Or, alternatively, had Travis not worded the OP in a way that didn't marginalize his point, then he would've received what looks to be general agreement, rather than skepticism and annoyance. I don't think anyone in the thread has yet to say that "There is absolutely zero possibility that the government was involved in 9/11", but rather, the overall view seems to be arching in the direction of "logically, the evidences and the perception of how the government works and acts speak against the possibility".

I didn't say otherwise! But they will never be proven without people actively pushing for a real investigation. There is no reason any of this information should be hidden!

I'm pretty sure the OP was targeting people who are much more polarized than me though. yes, I was. I never meant "wake up, agree with me". I mean "wake up, open your eyes to possibility and stop being an ignorant pussy" You haven't shown that there's a possibility. The coverage of the scientist and court testimony have pointed to him being a crazy person. Of course you're going to respond that it's a government cover up, but again there's no proof. You've got leaky motives, by which could be used to construe nearly any group as complicit to 9/11 or any other event in history.
Look at the link you posted. I'm not going to bother checking the sources for all of their quotes, but I did check the first two and they point out problems with the commission, but nothing implying conspiracy within the Pentagon, CIA or FBI. Their first blurb from Senator Cleland is mostly bullshit propagandizing. The Commission had an agreement to access the daily White House briefings, dating back to Clinton's administration, and as part of the deal to gain access they were not allowed to share that information.
Another problem of yours is that the websites and videos you keep linking us do as much twisting of information as a regular Fox News broadcast.

Im sorry if this seems blunt but isn't your view just as close minded as those you are giving the bird too?
You have no more access to confidential information than those people do so how can you know this with such certainty? Maybe you did not mean to come across so closed minded but you did, and i kinda seems like you just want everyone to believe you and your ideals

I don't think you're any smarter than me and I doubt I overlooked any facts about this whole thing.
I don't think I give a shit about which one of us is smarter and I doubt either of us could educate ourselves on this topic without overlooking some facts.
It's just way more likely that this anthrax stuff was a reaction to 9/11 instead of a part of 1 big plan.
That is your opinion. I don't see how it's relevant whether or not the 2 events were initially part of the same plan.
Even if it was connected to 9/11, it makes the whole conspiracy more unlikely to me because the whole plan is extremely flawed.
then why the fuck are we in iraq right now
And you don't make a flawed plan on purpose just so people will think it couldn't have been the government, that's too risky.
