Fury as academics claim 9/11 was 'inside job'

The 9/11 terrorist attack on America which left almost 3,000 people dead was an "inside job", according to a group of leading academics.

Around 75 top professors and leading scientists believe the attacks were puppeteered by war mongers in the White House to justify the invasion and the occupation of oil-rich Arab countries.

1. You see....
if a layman construction worker, with a GED high school diploma, such as myself, can see that the truth is not being told, and if every CTer out there had my qualifications, or less, you could label us "nutso" and get away with it. But, when my beliefs mirror the number of people who are more than qualified, such as Jones and company, not to mention many others who's acedemic backgrounds are above reproach, I feel I'm in good company. Compare that with the oct side of the issue, and you begin to feel as if there is not a lot of intellectual thought going on. Simple talking points and inane details are beat to death here by the oct simply to impede, or cancel out discussion of the more important aspects of this topic. For the quest for truth to continue and progress, I believe the ignore button should be employed, thereby isolating, and eliminating an inconsequential, but pesty impediment to the fulfillment of the goal at hand. That being a new, independent and thorough investigation into 9/11. That is my opinion based upon what I have observed since becoming a member here. Transparency runs amok, and why a response is even given to ninety percent of the oct lines is beyond me. Most of the time it only brings a person down to the level of their antagonist, and deflects the discussion away from the main point. When I see an old issue brought up that has been gone over every which way but Sunday, and there are a hundred or more replies, I have to wonder what the fuck is going on here. Seems like this forum is on a Groundhog Day loop, and we're all stuck in it. Thanks.

7. Perhaps...
I should have just kept it at "WTF?" As for "going on here?" Self-evident, I believe. Thanks.

8. YOU asked, but some people make statements that sound like ?s. So,

maybe I misinterpreted a statement that sounded (to me) like it was a question.

" have to wonder what the fuck is going on here."

They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if all that's true

4. Around we go
why a response is even given to ninety percent of the oct lines is beyond me.


Some visitors can be persuaded by OCT'ers arguments. If we do not counter their misleading and sometimes false arguments, who will?
