. I was positing that people then to view it as a polar choice. SO if it wasn’t Al Qaida, it must have been Bush… It is the base premise, from a country thinking between two sports clubs at a superbowl, to 2 major parties, to good and evil concepts.

Right, but my original state was that there doesn’t need to be a conspiracy before the US to be attacked for our history of foreign intervention. I never claimed it was bush.

When you make certain accusations to certain foreign intelligence agencies (where did I write US foreign intelligence agencies?) then you don’t name them.

Which is why I asked for clarification… foreign intelligence agency can mean both an intelligence agency from a foreign country or a domestic intelligence agency who operates non foreign soil. Is English your second language?

Anyway, seeing how you’re a Commission Report apologist who doesn’t understand

Lol, and you appear to be in the “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” community.

buildings, no matter their construction cannot fall at near free fall speed.

I don’t imagine you have the education to determine what “near free fall speed is” nor do you have any evidence that supports that claim.

The Pentagon, even in 2001 was a highly secured building, there were many CCTV angles of the pentagon covering the impact.

And you know that how? Plus what is your point? What exactly are you implying by assuming they are hiding footage?

• the uncommon nature of a 2 trillion $ going missing EVER, let a lone the day before, let alone the value of that money that day.

I mean, it would be odd if it were true…

And most interestingly, people like you always assume that people who say it certainly wasn’t what the official story says it was, then have to offer a complete fully funded investigation and propose exactly what happened to the random arbitration of your satisfaction.

Lol, that is the basis of any claim. If you are making a claim, it has to be backed by evidence. Even if we are not following that very basic rule, pointing out simple flaws in your theories logic is a way to make you actually think about it instead of automatically believing in it.

How about they did an actual investigation first? Like a criminal investigation by an impartial 3rd party body?

That’s what a commission is you dolt.

The reason they got away with it is because the bigger the lie, the more people believe it, and a vast majority of the population is raised so lovingly that that can’t imagine anyone doing such a cowardly, manipulative narcissistic act in order to move a hidden agenda forward

Lol, yeah it well know the more people involved nwith your lie, the less likely you’ll be discovered.

the rest isn’t really worth engaging any further in, as you don’t get the basics down, and can’t open yourself up to my hypothesis. I have considered and studied most of yours.

You didn’t pay out a hypothesis…you’ve made cryptic and vague accusations about the current narrative without offering a kind of actual hypothesis on what exactly happened on the day of 9/11.

Don’t get me wrong, I would trade that part of my consciousness, as I see lots of people live much simpler and happier lives by believing the official story.

Are you off your meds? The “I am the main protagonist’s energy” is reaching clinical levels.

If you want an actual rundown from a non biased source I would suggest Well there’s your problem

It’s a podcast about engineering problems run by an engineer, and the hosts are all varying degrees now leftist. The one I linked is about the towers, but they also have one over building 7.

Your assumptions preventing from giving this serious consideration:

• Bush or Americans were behind 9/11
• there has been any blowback for any of the staged military conflicts since WWII?

I’m not sure if you are making a statement or asking questions?

Are you saying I’m assuming bush or Americans were behind 9/11? Because I don’t agree with that statement.

Am I supposedly assuming there has or hasn’t been blowback? I’m not sure what you mean by staged military conflicts?

Imo American has a long history of experiencing blowback from our interventions since WW2.

911 was a brazen cascade foreign intelligence agency assault on the United States. The president and the cabinet were made aware of the impending attack. The attack A three stage attack comprising of wtc pentagon and the capitol. The demand was to start wars and at least outlined by Netanyahu in previous months and years in front of the UN security council.

I think you are giving the US foreign intelligence agency a lot more credit than they deserve. Yes there were warnings of an impending attack, but that’s not really super uncommon, nor is the failure to take those warnings seriously, or are failures in communication between intelligence agencies.

The demand was to start wars and at least outlined by Netanyahu in previous months and years in front of the UN security council. First Afghanistan, then Iraq then Syria than Lebanon and Iran.

I mean, you are attempting to connect over 20 years of history back to a singular event. 9/11 for sure influenced those events in some ways, but I wouldn’t believe that intelligence agencies had the ability to plan an event specifically with the goal of making those things happen.

It kinda ignores a grand series of policy failures of us leaders, and also takes away any sense of self autonomy from the people of those countries.

After each attack occurred to stop the other planes or let them reach their destination.

I don’t really know what you are saying here or how it connects to your previous claims?

Most likely the US was also told that these were Arabs doing this, And that this foreign intelligence agency could stop them at any moment if they agreed to their terms.

I’m sorry are you saying that it was done by a non US foreign intelligence agency? Or are you not counting the NSA or CIA as American? Are you claiming the mossad is behind 9/11? You are being very vague.

Every year since 911, With every action on every front and the Middle East, including the genocide and the US backed insurgency of Syria, one can see this plan come to fruition.

I think you would have to ignore an awful lot of factual history and policy taken by several different administrations to make the claim that some shadow organization has been maliciously running US policy for over 2 decades.

US has been a nuclear superpower since 1944.

• The USA did not just win WWII, And performed a military annexation of mainland Europe. This meant that the most free thinking and democratic part of the world will always think twice before criticising their ‘ally’

I think you have to be a little more clear about what you are trying to say here? Are you claiming the US took over Europe after WW2 and everyone was too afraid to do anything because of nukes, despite nthe fact that several people in Europe have nukes themselves?

you’re a massive country but not US aligned, how do you military strategise against that? China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, not to mention the some off the other allies would all have made various attempts and some successful to infiltrate the country they can’t attack without risking the end of the world.

I mean, China and Russia were both allies during and for a short time after WW2 before the rise of red scare. India and Pakistan are probably a little more preoccupied with each other than the US. Saudi Arabia was and still is a close ally of the US…

You think they sat still for half a century? The US is an active culture ending threat if you’re not aligned with them.

I think you are forgetting about the whole Cold war thing that never really ended?

middle eastern policy has been dictated by a zionist death cult for decades if not centuries. They are very well funded, highly intelligent and organised and have their own spooks that can make any assassination look like an accident.

I think America’s support of Israel is pretty well documented… I don’t think they need to really manipulate the US with a 9/11 to get us to support their Zionism.

the longest time, the most common used method of an oppressor or aggressor is to either attack itself and pin the blame on the soon to be enemy, or to annoy the enemy enough and pester and poke them until they October 7 you (still make sure all border guards are down so they can do it unhindered)

I think you’re conflating a false flag (which rarely pan out well) with a false flag attack against your only real ally. False flag attacks have a pretty well established history of blowing up in people’s faces, and I don’t really think you’d risk doing a 9/11 against your longest established ally, when they are already supporting your every whim.

This also ignores the fact that al-queda had already tried to blow up the towers once before.

bunch of barely trained pilots fly 4 airliners directly to their destination, perfectly synchronised all within the same couple of hours in the most heavily guarded airspaces in the world and with the most sophisticated airliners…

I mean, one of them didn’t make it, and planes aren’t really that hard to fly. You can literally buy a simulator pilots utilize to practice and do fairly well after a couple hours. We don’t have fighter jets constantly flying around just waiting to shoot down any airliners that don’t check in on time. People used to regularly highjack aircraft all the time in the 70s.

• the military just happens to be doing anti hijacking drills at the exact time of events

Would kinda make sense considering there was intelligence that people were planning on highjacking planes.

3 massive steel structure buildings collaping at near freefall speed (1, 2 and 7)

Yeah, the towers were externally supported by cladding that pins to the top of the tower. In those buildings if the top falls into itself they have a cascading failure effect. They weren’t really massive steel buildings, they had a concrete and steel medial support column, but actually a lot less steel than nearly any other type of sky scraper. That’s why they were nearly see through in the right light. The aluminum cladding actually did the majority of the support in the superstructure.

the impact ring of the pentagon being enforced just months prior to the missile plane hitting it.

I don’t see how that really has much to do with anything? Material upgrades like that would probably take years to plan, fund, and implement.

no cctv footage of the plane hitting pentagon released till this day, bar a couple of video frames from one angle

Well first you say nothing has been released, then you say the video we have isn’t good enough? It was the early 00’s. Cameras weren’t as ubiquitous as they are now. If it wasn’t a plane, what happened to the planes and all the people in them? Why use planes for the towers and a missile for the Pentagon? If it I was the mossad who did 9/11 like you allude, how did they get a missile?

Sec Def announcement the day before that 2 trillion dollars of the military budget went missing

The NSA has a black budget of billions of dollars…that doesn’t mean we’re doing a hundred f 9/11s a year?

the massive amount of quick actions that followed in the fog of war in the hours and days later, how and why wtc7 was brought down, why the steel was shipped to China without investigation

Youd have to specify what quick actions you find suspicious, but I would think it to be abnormal if there wasn’t a swarm of activity after you kicked a hornets nest.

There was an investigation…the 9/11 commission came out with tons of data.

Your take is fine if you only briefly glance at it. Spend any more than 30 minutes on it and you’ll understand why we live in a clickbait, fast news distraction meme culture.

Your take only makes sense if you ignore the massive amounts of history and evidence that doesn’t fit your pet theory.

Understanding 9/11 is how I understand US foreign policy ever since.

Lol, so you don’t understand us foreign policy…gotcha.

Understanding 9/11 is how I understand US foreign policy ever since. We’re living in Animal Farm, and the world has let the world’s bully do what it did out of gratitude for WWII and because you keep your worst enemy closer than your friends.

What are you smoking? America didn’t win WW2… That ignores the fact that the Soviets did the majority of the fighting…where was their gratitude?

Your world view doesn’t make any sense and is fantastically ahistorical.

And Coup’s album cover depicted the twin towers exploding a few months before the attacks.

Are we suggesting the band and this show were somehow connected with the government…or the government planned their attack in a few months/weeks after witnessing these works?

The fact is that since they were built the towers were signals of the American empire and were obvious targets for terrorist organizations, especially after the first attempt to bomb them.

Meh, I don’t think there’s a need for conspiracy for 9/11 to be a legitimate terrorist attack. It gives too much credit to Bush and his ilk and down plays the political blowback of the US’s interventional history in the Middle East.

The term “never let a good crisis go to waste” has been around for a while.

In my medical textbooks it says that maintaining neuroplasticity is a good thing. Check mate liberals!

at least some of the concerns are about the young men being declared the “villains” and the other side declaring them to be the victims of injustice and they will gravitate toward the more workable messag

That’s because people are framing this as a false dichotomy. All the masculinity warriors all try to frame the world as men are warriors under attack, and if you don’t think so you’re a man hating feminist.

In reality the majority of young dudes are just spending too much time being manipulated online and are blaming hardships created by our form of economics on wokeness.

Sure a lot of guys are terrible, but the generalizations can make it feel like you can’t win.

Only if you are weak of mind. I’m a dude, when someone says all men are bad…which never really happens. I don’t really take them literally, and even if I someday do run into someone who means it literally. Who cares, people are allowed to have opinions.

generalizations can make it feel like you can’t win.

Says the person who based their rebuttal by believing in a fabricated false dichotomy.

when we say that Lemmy has a misogyny problem.

Yeah, it’s really disheartening that young men have decided to blame women for all their woes. I’m in my late thirties and it really seems like a reversal to me, instead of blaming late stage capitalism for disenfranchising their demographic they are somehow are blaming women.

Even if we hypothetically accept that “there is an attack on masculinity” who’s doing it? The vast majority of politicians are men, the vast majority of CEO are men, the vast majority of judges, lawyers, prosecutors… The list goes on and on. In nearly any hierarchical system of power in the world, men are in charge. So from whom is our masculinity really being attacked?

Gonna catch the down votes for this, but imo because our economic system has already exploited all other demographics, young white men are being systemically disenfranchised for the first time and are not dealing with it very well. Welcome to the club fellas, POC and especially women have been here the whole time!

It really depends on your energy source and your appliance, but the cost to run something like an oven for an hour is pretty negligible, especially if it’s a somewhat modern appliance.

Most newer over run somewhere around 2-3,000 kwh, which nationwide averages to around .30 to .50 cents an hour.

The real cost of making food at home really just depends on how much you value your own labour/free time, and how much of a chore cooking is for you.

This guy bought so many rare monkey tokens. Ai is impressive in some aspects, but it’s not nearly as impressive as the marketing that drives the massive amounts of investment into it.

The US economy is doing anything it can to create growth, which is causing investors to create a bubble around AI that is “too big to fail”.

Lol, it’s not. The IRS doesn’t care about your brokerage sales unless you’re liable for a capital gains tax, which wouldn’t happen if you are not making a profit.

Plus, if they received a huge pile of paper about your trades that didn’t include a 1099-b, which is literally just like 1/4 of a sheet of paper…they would just request it from your brokerage.

Anyone who thinks the IRS is some evil org has just never done their own taxes and listens to propaganda from billionaires who don’t think taxes should exist.

If you’ve ever really had a legal problem with the IRS, you were more than likely purposely evading taxes and deserve the trouble. They are actually really reasonable to work with, and usually bend backwards to resolve the issue in several different ways before pursuing anyone legally.

Yep, what we consider to be level is relative to what you use to establish an axial plane.

Yes, some people naturally have better 3d spatial awareness. You can also train your eyes to be better over time. I work in orthotics and prosthetics and have to sculpt positive models of different body parts. We also have to do GAIT analysis where we have to observe the angle of different joints while a patient ambulates.

Some people are just better at it than others starting out, especially if they have prior similar experience. I teach a lot of residents and have noticed that students that have a background in art or construction tend to have a better eye for angles. A lot of it is just practicing by observing different angles compared to something that is known to be square.

I have also trained people who never seem to be able to improve their ability to see angles, which is a big hindrance in their careers. A lot of schools actually have students take a spacial awareness test before students begin studying in the field.

Yes, because of their criminal problems. Not because of their language, clothing style, food preferences, etc. But because of the enormous percentage of criminal involvement.

That is the same claim that “racist” in the US make all the time… Simply assuming that a person engages in criminal activity because of their ethnicity is bigotry.

Are you by chance not a USA citizen? I have some stereotypes about US citizens too.

US citizen is not an ethnic group you moron.

Yes, we hate gipsies. But not because of their race (they don’t even have a separate race), but because of some nuances of their culture that involve a lot of criminal.

Lol, if you want to split hairs like that… race itself is not an actual classification system and isn’t real in any meaningful way. What it represents is a bias against certain ethnic groups based off of an ever changing list of generalities.

What the general public interprets as racism is unfounded bigotry against individuals or groups of people for simple belongings to an ethnic group. Having negative preconceived notions against an ethnic minority like the Romani people is racism, and attempting to escape the accusation of racism by engaging in semantics is just pathetic.

tell that bullshit to another racist like you.

Lol, I’m a bi-racial ethnic minority living in the most conservative state in America…You are a white European that just accused an entire ethnic group of being criminals…and I’m the racist?

You don’t get a pass on your privilege because you live in Europe…an entire continent that enriched itself by engaging in colonialism self validated by racial theory. Go kick rocks bigot.

Well, it is a rather multilayered phrase. And sarcasm is present there too. And yes, I really think that most of the US citizens are racists.

Most white people are racist…including the majority of Europeans. Just ask your average European about the Romani people and you’ll get to hear some “interesting” opinions.

(I suppose this is exactly the case: the “woke” US citizen mumbling some racist shit while being sure that he is being super anti-racist).

Pointing out that international media has biases when it comes to ethnicity is not racist. Claiming that racism is not a problem in Europe, or that European news is devoid of racial biases is racist.

Always glad to know …and I’m guessing here, that a white dude from one of the most privileged places in the world still think of themselves as the authority when it comes to defining racism… It’s reassuring that some things will never change.
