get your conspiracy on
God-dammit. I just erased an entire post by hitting the wrong button.
What I was writing about - is how since I stopped watching so much television - CSPAN has become one of my favorite channels. Turning on the TV after a long absence, regular network broadcasting can be jarring and uncomfortable. Lights, colors, flashing, vapid talk. Then there’s CSPAN, dull, lifeless and rich in content.
Tonight at 8PM EST, CSPAN will delve into the relam of 9-11 conspiracy. A recent symposium, moderated by the Rush Limbaugh of the libertarian realm - Alex Jones - focuses attention on some of the stranger aspects of the official 9-11 story. For example, why did World Trade Center building 7 (home to CIA, DOD, SEC and other federal offices) just collapse, at near free fall speed, for no apparent reason into a neat little pile? (FEMA and NIST investigations reached no conclusions) BYU physics professor Steven Jones presents on the extreme physical improbability of the official 9-11 story.
Other speakers include University of Minnesota Professor and former Marine officer James Fetzer and historian Webster Tarpley.
While I don’t personally know what happened, the official story is about as improbable as any of the conspiracies. That much more is/was known in the time leading up to the attacks of 9-11 seems likely. That the attacks were allowed to happen are within the realm of imagination. That the attacks were planned and carried out from within is on the outside edge of reason.
But anyway, a little skepticism never hurt anyone. Watch with an open mind. It’s CSPAN, so you don’t have to feel like a tinfoil hat wearing nut either. It can’t be any more full of shit than your normal congressional debate.
