But don't take my world for it, it's only the most important myth to ever come out of the Egyptian era. It's called the Legend (or Myth) of Osiris and Isis and can be found in its entirety in tons of places. There are pictures and artwork drawn from that period that depict their copulating. Running a Google search on the myth should pull up a lot of reputable sites (as well as images). In the meantime, I've posted a link to the Wikipedia page that gives a brief overview of the legend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_Osiris_and_Isis Feel free to go through the other "facts" from the movie that I stated were wrong. I understand your reluctance to research them. |

Let me put an easy example so you understand. You take a regular glas, put it on the ground, then take a bowling ball and drop it from 1 meter above the glas, once the bowling ball hits the glas, do you think the speed will continue to be constant? Or will the ball slow down because of the impact? Now, this is very simple to understand. Its one of the most basic laws on earth. Yet at your age you dont understand it. Sad. Go and study basic physics. Anyway, each floor on the twin towers should have slowned down the procces when the top of the building was falling down. But it didnt, the speed was constant. That means, each floor must have been fucked somehow. There has been no resistance. Why? Its impossible that it can happend from 2 planes. Quote:

At 900 degrees steel will expand then contract. The expanding and contracting will destroy any bolts or joints etc.. that hold it together. In fact, at high temps wood is actually a stronger material. The steel in the towers did exactly this and finally gave away any support they provided then the collapse was due to the weight above the failure points. This happens every day when buildings catch fire that have steel trusses. Ask any fire fighter what type of building do they fear most and they will tell you buildings with steel trusses because the roofs will fall in on them. The WTC did the same thing but on a larger scale. |

You'll find a ton of results to quench your thirst. The Federal Reserve has also been audited by major accounting firms such as Price Waterhouse. You can find those reports by running some Google searches. Can you provide a link to the legislation that was submitted to allow audits of the Federal Reserve and was rejected? |

But you do pull facts from?
http://www.crystalinks.com Or from sites that tell you that the Federal Reserve has never been audited while tons of government documents spanning decades show otherwise? The Wiki was just for a brief overview of the real story. You can search the legend or myth of Isis and Osiris in Google and even pull up some of the sacred texts that were written on the walls. And I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, I've just studied religious history for years and dislike when people in these movies distort the facts to get their point across. I truly believe that Christianity adopted parts of their beliefs from other religions, but I don't think Horus had much of an impact. I'd point to Dionysus (Greek) and the religion of Mithra that was practiced by the Romans as having more parralels to Christianity. There are some great books on where Christianity evolved from, and they are filled with factual evidence. This guy simply pulled information from a book written in 1999 that was more or less laughed at by historians. He mixed some truths in with some lies which made it believable. |

So I'm guessing by the response to this thread nobody here believes that maybe there is a terrorist group that hates the US and over the course of a few years they snuck some operatives into our country and those operatives hijacked jets and flew them into buildings and that is the end of the story?

"It should be mentioned that some Egyptologists see, in the iconography of Christian art, a precursor in Horus. For example, Isis and the baby Horus are sometimes seen as the model for Mary and the infant Jesus, while Horus dominating the beats may have a counterpart in Christ Pantokrator doing the same. Horus spearing a serpent may survive in the iconography of Saint George defeating the dragon." http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/horus.htm |

here's a question for you.....if there's really nothing to hide then why
won't they agree with an independent investigation and release all the found evidence like they do with EVERY other normal case....... It's exactly for this reason why most people doubt certain kind of events

And how many buildings have collapsed faster than it would take for a rock to drop from the top of it to hit the ground, like Bldg. 7 did, which, didn't get hit by any plane?

My car is designed to survive a head on accident at 30mph. Does that mean that 100% of the time I have a head on accident I'm going to live? No, of course not. And truth be told, that's not what they said is it? They said the building was designed to withstand the impact of a smaller plane. The planes that hit the WTC weren't even designed when the buildings went up. They were larger and heavier. Quote:
I love this one. I really do. Read carefully; In what I wrote I said "Imagine there was no fire". I never said fire brought down the building. A huge plane impacted the building, destroying the support of one entire side of the building across numerous floors. It also damaged the if not destroyed the "hollow solid steel core" (which held the elevator banks). No one has any idea what it did to the other three sides of the building. This impact registered as a fucking earthquake already. It's no surprise that it came down.

I understand the laws of gravity. And while these laws of nature are generally set in stone, there are always exceptions. If you drop a bowling ball from a certain height on to a sheet of glass, would it meet resistance and "slow down". Let's change the argument to make it more realistic. The question should be more like "If a stack of bowling balls glued to each other fell through a sheet of glass that was already weakened from a prior impact and that had partiall melted due to a fire. I think the fucking bowling balls would smash through the sheet of glass like it wasn't even there. Tons of metal and concrete fell through what is really a hollow structure. It didn't meet resistance, but instead dragged or pushed it down. And I'm guessing it gained momentum on the way down which easily defeated any resistance.

I haven't studied blueprints of the WTC, but I've been there a number of times. I don't believe there was one elevator going staight to the top so a ball of fire coming down the elevator shafts all the way to the lobby at the moment of impact doens't make much sense to me.

It was hit by a lot of other things, caught on fire, and had two very tall buildings with hundreds of millions of tons of concrete and metal fall right next to it right on top of it. Didn't both buidings falling each register as an eathquake? Wasn't that just enough to bring the building down? Do you think any of the falling buildings hit building 7 and perhaps moved it off it's foundation?

Seriously though, I heard it was good and do want to see it. Unlike some, I watched Loose Change and it raised some interesting points. Of course, THEN I went out and got the OTHER side of the story, usually from MULTIPLE sources. I viewed Loose Change much as I view Michael Moore films. He raises some interesting points, but you have to get the other side of the story...you can't just believe everything he says. |

When I heard about it I tried to find it on our Canadian history channel. As usual though, it was 24 hours of programming about Hockey and beer. I may have to break down and buy it.

Bush cant do anything without the concent of the people.... he needs you not to rise up against him... via the attack of 9 11 he could do pretty much whatever he wanted n noone could question it... simple as that
money? yes there is money in war... americas wealth is built on rebuilding after ww2.... rebuilding irak has made haliburton rich as shit which also prolly makes america richer... due to miss calc this war has cost america alot more than the gain... a question to you... why did buiding 7 fall? its a steel frame building... never in the history of the world has a steel frame building fallen due to fire... and there was no plane hitting building 7... so why would that building fall if it was only on fire? it wouldnt so what happened to it? u dont konw i dont know but i think an answer is needed... even the 9/11 report wchih the government released said that was extremly wierd

No, that couldn't have been it. Maybe it was the fact that the two towers fell, spilling hundreds of tons of concrete and steel right next to it? I'm guessing this shit didn't just fall and not hit anything else... such as building 7? You dont' think maybe some of the shit that fell.... maybe MOVED THE BUILDING? Listen carefully. If hundreds of tons of concrete, steel, or what not suddenly falls next to another building.... THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT THE BUILDING 100 FEET AWAY WILL FALL TOO. Fucking idiots. I swear.

Not only did Bldg 7 collapse on itself, but it did so at a rate of speed that was equal to a rock being dropped from it's roof, again do you know the odds of that? Questioning the so-called "truth" has never made someone an idiot, quite the opposite. I would be more inclined to call those who accept what we have been told and not question it when so many facts point to the contrary the only idiots. Certain aspects remained unanswered, and the Gov't is doing everything it can to keep it that way. People who have nothing to hide, have nothing to hide. |

I think it's wonderful that your questioning the government. However, to continue to hash over this for years and years with some of the dumbest questions is just getting old. When I can answer your questioning with statements that any freshmen high schooler can give you ("The building fell in on itself because it had no support underneath it"), well, it's time to give it a rest. The US goverment gave you your answers - in the 9/11 Commission Report. Is it flawed? You bet your damn ass it is because everyone knows the government can't really do anything right, and on top of it's fault new things and new questions have come to light. In order for any of this to have happened any other way means that hundreds of people must have been involved - people who planted explosives, who piloted or flew by the remote control that airplanes to the firefighters it the towers. I can answer all of your silly questions by saying "I'm pretty sure that someone would have come forward now". I think it's just possible that some of you watch way too much fucking TV.

9/11 allowed the Republican Party to pass a set of laws (Patriot Act, et al) that in the absence of 9/11 would never have been passed. The owners of WTC got insurance money to replace the aging structures that were soon going to require hundreds of millions of dollars in renovations to be brought up to code.
9/11 was an insurance job. Just like a staged car wreck. Only alot more dead bodies and damage. |

And let us not forget that it ended up starting a war, I am sure all of the defense contractors are tickled pink (I see Lockheed Martin now has a new ad on TV reminding me that they never forget who they are working for) with all the new projects and thus revenue.
Hell, if we didn't have a war soon, they'd run out of contracts to fill and thus run out of money. Lockheed isn't the kind of company that can survive on a few maintenance contracts worth a few hundred million, they need billions and billions worth of new projects coming in all the time in addition to maintenance on the old ones. And let us not forget Halliburton, that pillar of honesty and square dealings. The war that started after 9/11 gave Halliburton a huge shot in the arm as far as funding goes, hell, look at how much they got paid just to feed the troops spoiled food, nevermind the "rebuilding". |

9(slash)11 was a stagged act to brainwash the mass herds of U.S. cattle into believing in a fake bunch of terrorists to get into war with the middle east for over 50 or more years to come!

WTC 7 Collapse Claim: Seven hours after the two towers fell, the 47-story WTC 7 collapsed. According to 911review.org: "The video clearly shows that it was not a collapse subsequent to a fire, but rather a controlled demolition: amongst the Internet investigators, the jury is in on this one." FACT: Many conspiracy theorists point to FEMA's preliminary report, which said there was relatively light damage to WTC 7 prior to its collapse. With the benefit of more time and resources, NIST researchers now support the working hypothesis that WTC 7 was far more compromised by falling debris than the FEMA report indicated. "The most important thing we found was that there was, in fact, physical damage to the south face of building 7," NIST's Sunder tells PM. "On about a third of the face to the center and to the bottom ? approximately 10 stories ? about 25 percent of the depth of the building was scooped out." NIST also discovered previously undocumented damage to WTC 7's upper stories and its southwest corner. NIST investigators believe a combination of intense fire and severe structural damage contributed to the collapse, though assigning the exact proportion requires more research. But NIST's analysis suggests the fall of WTC 7 was an example of "progressive collapse," a process in which the failure of parts of a structure ultimately creates strains that cause the entire building to come down. Videos of the fall of WTC 7 show cracks, or "kinks," in the building's facade just before the two penthouses disappeared into the structure, one after the other. The entire building fell in on itself, with the slumping east side of the structure pulling down the west side in a diagonal collapse. According to NIST, there was one primary reason for the building's failure: In an unusual design, the columns near the visible kinks were carrying exceptionally large loads, roughly 2000 sq. ft. of floor area for each floor. "What our preliminary analysis has shown is that if you take out just one column on one of the lower floors," Sunder notes, "it could cause a vertical progression of collapse so that the entire section comes down." There are two other possible contributing factors still under investigation: First, trusses on the fifth and seventh floors were designed to transfer loads from one set of columns to another. With columns on the south face apparently damaged, high stresses would likely have been communicated to columns on the building's other faces, thereby exceeding their load-bearing capacities. Second, a fifth-floor fire burned for up to 7 hours. "There was no firefighting in WTC 7," Sunder says. Investigators believe the fire was fed by tanks of diesel fuel that many tenants used to run emergency generators. Most tanks throughout the building were fairly small, but a generator on the fifth floor was connected to a large tank in the basement via a pressurized line. Says Sunder: "Our current working hypothesis is that this pressurized line was supplying fuel [to the fire] for a long period of time." WTC 7 might have withstood the physical damage it received, or the fire that burned for hours, but those combined factors ? along with the building's unusual construction ? were enough to set off the chain-reaction collapse. Here is an realistic look at what may have happened: http://wtc.nist.gov/media/Scheuerman...entDec2006.pdf Anyway here is more from Wikipedia: The report did not reach final conclusions about the cause of the collapse, but listed several issues requiring further investigation. FEMA made these findings: Loss of structural integrity was likely a result of weakening caused by fires on the 5th to 7th floors. The specifics of the fires in WTC 7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time. Although the total diesel fuel on the premises contained massive potential energy, the best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence. Further research, investigation, and analyses are needed to resolve this issue. [Ch. 5, p. 31.] In response to FEMA's concerns, the Commerce Department?s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was authorized to lead a three-year, US$16 million investigation into the structural failure and collapse of the World Trade Center twin towers, as well as 7 World Trade Center.[27] The investigation, led by Dr S. Shyam Sunder, drew not only upon in-house technical expertise, but also the knowledge of several outside private institutions, including the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (SEI/ASCE), the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), and the Structural Engineers Association of New York (SEAoNY).[28] NIST has released a video and still-photo analysis of Building 7 before its collapse that appears to indicate a greater degree of structural damage from falling debris than originally assumed by FEMA. Specifically, NIST's interim report on 7 WTC displays photographs of the southwest façade of the building that show it to have significant damage. The report also highlights a 10-story gash in the center of the south façade, toward the bottom, extending approximately a quarter of the way into the interior.[29][3] A unique aspect of the design of 7 WTC was that each outer structural column was responsible for supporting 2,000 sq ft (186 m²) of floor space, suggesting that the simultaneous removal of a number of columns severely compromised the structure's integrity.[30] Consistent with this theory, news footage shows cracking and bowing of the building's east wall immediately before the collapse, which began at the penthouse floors.[3] In video of the collapse, taken from the north by CBS News and other news media, the first visible sign of collapse is movement in the east penthouse 8.2 seconds before the north wall began to collapse, which took at least another 7 seconds.[3][31] A progress report was released in June 2004, outlining NIST's working hypothesis.[32][3] The hypothesis, which was reiterated in a June 2007 status update, is that an initial failure in a critical column occurred below the 13th floor, caused by damage from fire and/or debris induced structural damage of a critical column, from the collapse of the two main towers. The collapse progressed vertically up to the east mechanical penthouse. The interior structure was unable to handle the redistributed load, resulting in horizontal progression of the failure across lower floors, particularly the 5th to 7th floors. This resulted in "a disproportionate collapse of the entire structure."[33] NIST anticipates the release of a draft report of 7 WTC by the end of 2007.[33] The investigation of 7 World Trade Center has been delayed for a number of reasons, including that NIST staff who had been working on 7 WTC were assigned full-time from June 2004 to September 2005, to work on the investigation of the collapse of the twin towers.[34] Regarding the investigation of 7 World Trade Center, Dr S. Shyam Sunder stated in a New York magazine interview in March 2006, "We are studying the horizontal movement east to west, internal to the structure, on the fifth to seventh floors?; he then added, "But truthfully, I don?t really know. We?ve had trouble getting a handle on Building No. 7."[35] In June 2007, he explained, "We are proceeding as quickly as possible while rigorously testing and evaluating a wide range of scenarios to reach the most definitive conclusion possible. The WTC 7 investigation is in some respects just as challenging, if not more so, than the study of the towers. However, the current study does benefit greatly from the significant technological advances achieved and lessons learned from our work on the towers."[33] Despite FEMA's preliminary finding that fire caused the collapse, some conspiracy theorists believe the building seven collapse was the result of a controlled demolition.[36][37] When asked about controlled demolition theories, Dr. Sunder said, "We consulted 80 public-sector experts and 125 private-sector experts. It is a Who?s Who of experts. People look for other solutions. As scientists, we can?t worry about that. Facts are facts."[38] In answer to the question of whether "a controlled[-]demolition hypothesis is being considered to explain the collapse," NIST said: "[w]hile NIST has found no evidence of a blast or controlled demolition event, it would like to determine the magnitude of hypothetical blast scenarios that could have led to the structural failure of one or more critical elements."[34] |

9/11 was Kyle's fault. He also dropped the deuce in the urinal. Everybody knows this.

to say someone has more cash than they could ever spend as a reason they would NOT TRY TO GET MORE is stupid.

I understand greed and some people's desire to have more and more no matter how much they have. But to me for someone to risking death and historic disgrace for money would mean they are a true sociopath. Do you think our president is a sociopath?
