It’s a symptom of an extremely unstable society.

There have been more conspiracies posted on FR in the past 18 months than in the past 18 years, and almost everyone seems ok with it.

It gets worse every day.

One is controlled. The other is not. Not that hard to comprehend. At least for most people.

Did they find any more bodies? I’d think in the heat of FL, they must be getting rather ripe by now. Ugh.

Did the demolition also take down the “sister” tower?

No. The East ("Sister") Tower is still standing. They imploded the South Tower building.

The thing to watch for in this particular incident is the political exploitation of it as a way to damage Ron DeSantis. You can sense the fear that the Democrats have regarding Gov. DeSantis as a prospective 2024 candidate, and they will use any issue they can as a weapon against him.

In this situation - there is a very remote state function, a significant County and local government role. The relevant details are the construction in 1981, the approval of the plans in 1980-80, the occasional local government inspection and applicable codes, and perhaps most important in all of this is the action/inaction of the Homeowners/Condo owners association that kicked the can down the road on repairs and inspections. Very little has anything to do with a GOP governor who was elected in 2018. But that won't stop them.

There’s actually 3 buildings - South, North and East. South and North were built in 1981. East was built in 1994 with a different design.

Only South went down.

I wonder if anyone tried to get a priest to say a public prayer for the souls of the dead? Probably not.

I'm glad you mentioned it. I would be surprised if, upon hearing the news, a local priest did go to the site and say the prayers. I know mine would. Whether one did or not, the rest of us can offer a prayer for the repose of their souls.

Eternal Rest grant unto them, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them. By the mercy of God may their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

Part of the still standing structure was still fairly safe or else it would have already fallen. It should have been cleared out of certain items before it was demolished. Pets would certainly not be too much to ask for.

How is that an excuse for promoting conspiracy theories? Does government corruption force you to abandon the need to provide evidence? How does that work?

It is around the 4:25 mark.

GWB is talking here about integrations of captured terrorist and learning about their future plans.

“For example, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed described the design of planned attacks of buildings inside the U.S. and how operatives were directed to carry them out. That is valuable information for those of us who have the responsibility to protect the American people. He told us the operatives had been instructed to ensure that the explosives went off at a high -- a point that was high enough to prevent people trapped above from escaping.”

“He gave us information that helped uncover al Qaeda cells' efforts to obtain biological weapons.”

“We've also learned information from the CIA program that has helped stop other plots, including attacks on the U.S. Marine base in East Africa, or American consulate in Pakistan, or Britain's Heathrow Airport. This program has been one of the most vital tools in our efforts to protect this country. It's been invaluable to our country, and it's invaluable to our allies.”

“Were it not for this program, our intelligence community believes that al Qaeda and its allies would have succeeded in launching another attack against the American homeland. Making us -- giving us information about terrorist plans we couldn't get anywhere else, this program has saved innocent lives. In other words, it's vital. That's why I asked Congress to pass legislation so that our professionals can go forward, doing the duty we expect them to do. Unfortunately, the recent Supreme Court decision put the future of this program in question. That's another reason I went to Congress. We need this legislation to save it.”

Here is a link to a transcript of a speech he gave on 09/06/2006 covering the same topics:

https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2006/09/20060906-3.html#:~:text=For%20example%2C%20he%20described%20the%20design%20of%20planned,people%20trapped%20above%20from%20escaping%20out%20the%20windows.

“Based on that information, Zubair was captured in June of 2003, and he soon provided information that helped lead to the capture of Hambali. After Hambali's arrest, KSM was questioned again. He identified Hambali's brother as the leader of a "J-I" cell, and Hambali's conduit for communications with al Qaeda. Hambali's brother was soon captured in Pakistan, and, in turn, led us to a cell of 17 Southeast Asian "J-I" operatives. When confronted with the news that his terror cell had been broken up, Hambali admitted that the operatives were being groomed at KSM's request for attacks inside the United States -- probably [sic] using airplanes.”

“During questioning, KSM also provided many details of other plots to kill innocent Americans. For example, he described the design of planned attacks on buildings inside the United States, and how operatives were directed to carry them out. He told us the operatives had been instructed to ensure that the explosives went off at a point that was high enough to prevent the people trapped above from escaping out the windows.”

The judge was correct to deny the request. Besides, three detailed sweeps of the building located no pets.
