7 years after 9/11

It's been 7 years, 1 month and 2 days since 9/11. The 9/11 Truthers have claimed that they have evidence to support their claims. They have constantly backed their information up with doctored up YouTube/Google videos that claims to have proof that 9/11 was an "Inside Job". But here it is, 7 years, 1 month and 2 days and still there hasn't been anything publicly made to suggest that the U.S. Government was involved in the plot on 9/11/2001 by the 9/11 Truth Movement or their followers.

Arguements abond the 9/11 Truthers. They have marched around Ground Zero in an effort to get their agenda and views across. They have mocked the 9/11 Survivors, their families and those that died on that terrible day. There have been countless films made by these Truthers about 9/11. And none of those films contain evidence to support their theories.

9/11 Truth Movement Criticism

The movement has attracted the attention of some major mainstream media publications.
On September 3, 2006: Time Magazine published a lead article, "Why the 9/11 Conspiracies Won't Go Away", noting that:

"The population of world No. 2 [the 9/11 Truth Movement] is larger than you might think. A Scripps-Howard poll of 1,010 adults last month found that 36% of Americans consider it "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that government officials either allowed the attacks to be carried out or carried out the attacks themselves. Thirty-six percent adds up to a lot of people. This is not a fringe phenomenon. It is a mainstream political reality."

The same article concluded that:

"The [conspiracy] theories prompt small, reasonable questions that demand answers that are just too large and unreasonable to swallow."

The movement receives criticism from a variety of sources. Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone wrote that he has "two basic gripes with the 9/11 Truth Movement":

"The first is that it gives supporters of Bush an excuse to dismiss critics of this administration. I have no doubt that every time one of those Loose Change dickwads opens his mouth, a Republican somewhere picks up five votes.... Secondly, it's bad enough that people in this country think Tim LaHaye is a prophet and Sean Hannity is an objective newsman. But if large numbers of people in this country can swallow 9/11 conspiracy theory without puking, all hope is lost."

MIT engineering professor Thomas W. Eagar was at first unwilling to acknowledge the concerns of the movement, saying: "if (the argument) gets too mainstream, I'll engage in the debate." In response to physicist Steven Jones publishing a hypothesis that the World Trade Center was destroyed by controlled demolition, Eager stated:

"These people (in the 9/11 truth movement) use the "reverse scientific method"… they determine what happened, throw out all the data that doesn't fit their conclusion, and then hail their findings as the only possible conclusion."

At a political rally for his wife, Bill Clinton responded to a heckler by saying, "Nine-eleven was NOT an inside job, it was an Osama Bin Laden job with 19 people from Saudi Arabia, they murdered 3,000 Americans and others foreigners including Muslims and we look like idiots, that the people who murdered our fellow citizens did it, when they are continuing to murder other people around the world."

My personal opinion is that this sentence really tops it off:

"These people (in the 9/11 truth movement) use the "reverse scientific method"… they determine what happened, throw out all the data that doesn't fit their conclusion, and then hail their findings as the only possible conclusion."

Out of all the 9/11 Truther claims they do indeed use reverse science in all of their views. They haven't really understood the complex nature of what happened on 9/11. They haven't been ableto cope with the fact that 9/11 was done by Al-Queda. They have failed to realize that 9/11 was plotted in the first attack on the WTC in 1993. Ramzi Yousef told an FBI agent while passing the WTC in a plane: "If I used more explosives they would not be standing." And another comment he made, and it is very clear to our minds: "Next time we will use planes." These 2 are valuable to confronting the 9/11 Truther with the truth and the known facts. You can Google up Ramzi Yousef and see for yourself what he has told the FBI in 1993.
