Andrew Napolitano, Geraldo Rivera, and others have recently come out of the conspiracy closet to express their skepticism in the 9/11 story that most people are use to. Seemingly, their skepticism lays in the falling of the Word Trade Tower number seven. Many of the conspiratorial arguments and concerns are dealt with in this post.
There is also a posting of an interview with fireman Steve Spak. Steve had one of the best mini-documentaries refuting many of the claims presented by truthers many years ago. He pulled this video and in talking to him over the phone it was because nutters were showing up at his work and interrupting his daily routing. I have an interview with Steve where many of his proof he used in his video are expressed. Great resource for those combating bad thinking.

Take note I have one of the best links sections to sites and videos refuting truthers on the net. It can be found here as a companion to this post:
http://religiopoliticaltalk.com/c-o-n-debunker/. My previous post was deleted, I think because I put it in the wrong category? I know it isn't because Free Republic are all truthers and don't allow opposing viewpoints... that would be almost conspiratorial.

Is there a rational explanation (debunking the so-called conspiracy somewhere of how and why Tower 7 came down so classically like a “demolition”?
Not saying I am a truther.... just looking for facts.

Andrew Napolitano is a Princeton graduate and former law professor who became the youngest Superior Court judge in NJ history in 1987 at the age of 37. He was clearly on a path to a federal judgeship and a possible bid to become a Supreme Court justice. He was a rising star in the judicial world. Then at the age of 44 he abruptly resigned his judgeship, left the law and became a Fox News consultant - while insisting that everyone on the network refer to him as "Judge."
He clearly did something very shady if he voluntarily abandoned a very promising and prestigious career in that fashion. There is something deeply off about this guy.

I include some video that show it wasn't a 6-second free fall in the post I link to. This is one of the claims by truthers, that is fell in
6-seconds. This is a lie. Also, there were over 15,000 gallons (probably more like 25,000 gallons) of fuel in the building to keep it running in case there was a massive power failure in the New York area. This building was the emergency gathering point for NY. Steve Spak discusses this
in his interview, and I respond to a questioner (posted in the link) thusly who asks a similar question (again, I recommend going through this post thoroughly): Actually, building seven was hit by a massive amount of debris from Tower 1 or 2 (I will look into which tower when I get the National Geographic DVD, since that has the best shots of falling debris I have seen yet). What you may not know is that building 7 housed the city's emergency command post. The building was designed to remain operational if power were to be lost. How was this building designed to keep running if power were to go out? This is the part we don't hear too much about:
...There were a number of fuel tanks throughout the building that may have supplied fuel to the fires for up to seven hours. In addition to smaller "day tanks" on each floor, two 6,000-gallon tanks in the basement fed most of the generators in the building..... Two generators, located on the fifth floor, were connected to the fuel tanks in the basement via a pressurized line. Says Sunder: "Our working hypothesis is that this pressurized line was supplying fuel [to the fire] for a long period of time
. (p. 56)
.WTC 7 was built to straddle a Con Edison electrical substation. That required an unusual design in which a number of columns were engineered to carry exceptionally large loads, roughly 2,000 square feet 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.

Maybe being a judge was a little too boring for him?
Maybe he felt compelled to teach the average Joe about the Constitution via the mass media?
Maybe, especially after the election of Obama, the Wikileaks and other evidence of a Globalist conspiracy to create a NWO, people need to learn to think outside the box.

Pretty shady leaving the ivory tower and governmental adulation to find his place as a very wealthy private citizen who enjoys similar adulation (plus he’s rich).

What is the whole WTC-7 theory? That because it came down in the way it did so much after the crashes it must have been secretly wired for demolition, thus it was part of the larger plot to make sure that the plane crashes brought the whole complex down? Further, because the local cops and firefighters on the site ‘knew’ it was coming down it must have been done by secret government operatives—who subsequently sent the word down the chain of command? Thus, the whole 9/11 thing must have been done by the CIA? Is that the gist of the theory?
To: SeanG200; BlueLancer
Thanks guys. It looks like the facts are there, I had just not found them yet. To be honest, last night was the first time I had heard rumors about tower 7 and that Judge Napolotano was questioning it. Perhaps he just needs the facts shown to him as well.
Thanks again for setting me straight on it.

Except it would have taken weeks to prep the building with a large team of demolition experts tearing apart sections of the walls -- all the while in plain view of people working on all the floors. I have kept a New American magazine from the Murrah Federal Building bombing (the New American is the magazine published by the John Birch Society... or those beholden to it. I use to be a conspiracy guy with hundreds of books on the New World Order and went to JB meetings years ago.). They even said that explosives were planted in this building - proving their point by anonymous interviews.

Talk about jumping the shark!
The other day, the Judge was in apparent agreement with his new buddy, crazyman Jerome Corsi, about the “dangers” of radiation from TSA’s new naked-body scanners. Stike one?
Now the Judge seems to veer recklessly into “truther” territory. Strike two?
One’s gotta wonder just how many more strikes Roger Ailes and Neil Cavuto will tolerate before they put the quietus on Judge N?
