Thank you Dickie, Forrest Gump et al.

It's gratifying to know that some who are posting to this forum take the issue seriously independently of the issue of myself having been accused of having broken an OLO rule.

I have been suspended as FG correctly deduced, but at least I was not the only one. So, even if the suspension was not applied as diligently to all parties and even if the lengths of suspensions turned out not to be equal, contrary to what had been implied, then at least some good has come of it.

If suspension for one week is the price on has to pay around here for having stood up to bullying and trolling and for having referred to a moron as a moron, then fine.

PolyCarp, I really fail to see how introducing religious views into this discussions helps us to sort out whether or not the official US government explanation of the 9/11 attacks can be believed.

Gotta go now :( Will be back later this week.

HI Dagget

well.. all I'm doing is giving a perspective.

You might call it 'what goes around comes around'.... on steroids.

CJ might be right "God did it" :)

But I take this rather 'outer limits' perspective because this thread might have been better termed "9/11 misinformation" mainly because we are all so distant from the events and can only go by the info we glean from many sources. Some or all of which might be deliberately set up to produce a predictable outcome.

To me.. the idea of a grand CIA/usa Conspiracy to do this is so beyond absurd that it defies description. You would expect a government to approach such a thing in a MUCH MUCH better, more controllable, tighter manner where there is no room for speculation.

The amount of planning that such a conspiracy of this scale would entail is gainormous/humungous and ..just plain over the top.
There was sooooo many loose ends to tie up... it would have been SOO much cleaner to arrange a different approach.

Next we will be hearing how the first attempt to blow up the WTC was ALSO a CIA conspiracy... wont we?

We are wasting our time trying to be judge jury and executioner of the US government here. I just ask 'who benefits' from that line of enquiry?

That kinda says it all

Just briefly, I believe that the blackmail used against US Gongressmen recently in order to have the US$700 billion bailout legislation rushed through Congress after it had been rejected once is not altogether unrelated.

Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich contrasted the atmosphere of fear and panic that was used to stampede the Congressional Representatives into voting to hand across US taxpayers' money to the Wall Street Corporate criminals to the words of President Franklin Roosevelt back in the 1930's, when he said that "We have nothing to fear but fear itself". There's some very good YouTube broadcasts on this. (I haven't time to get them right now. My apologies.)

Also http://www.michaelmore.com is worth a look.

Hi James.

Perhaps when you have time you (or one of your sock puppets)could also illuminate us about such related conspiracies as the faked NASA Moon landing, the Mafia/CIA assassination of JFK and the abduction by a Chinese submarine of Harold Holt?

Oh Lord High Dymo, doeth not thou this skating upon thin ice. Prithee, think but of the hearts in the mouths of the lookers-on. For the text thou hast chosen for this lesson is surely the text thou chose but few days past, when thou causest some to look daggets at thou.

Breathless, the cloud of OLO witnesses look on, horror struck.

Waiting for the axe to fall upon thy Lordly neck.

Hark, is that not the echo of the measured tread of Moderation that we hear?

I pray thee, Lord Dymo, take down thy post and walk.

Show the unbelieving that thou canst manipulate which posts stay, and which be taken down.

By all the Sock Puppets, I wouldst not have thought to see this day!

Oh give not cause for this wordly blood-sport, Lord Dymo, to claim thy head. Label forthwith for us the sock puppet that has caused this dread to come upon the Forum. Yea, verily we shall all gang up upon the wicked one(s). Give but the word that truly thou only knowest: out Damned Spot.

Can we not cast ducks' guts upon the pavement in propitiation for this thy bold and daring deed?

Leave us not in this way, unlabelled and adrift in the ocean of our own opinionating, unguided in our thoughts.

Sign of the cross: "Spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch" and Amen to that FG!
