>In the end, we were able to debunk each of these assertions with hard evidence and a healthy dose of common sense

>>Popular Mechanics will now be considered to be part of the "conspiracy" by the nut-jobs

There is one problem
with this right on the surface.
It's irrational

to pretend to use
common sense to "understand"
the most uncommon

event in the last
fifty years. Uncommon things
need uncommon thoughts!

lol.. your theory would be great, if using common sense was actually a common thing in society.

[OK]

Good point. On the gold forum at kitco.com tonight somebody was saying that Popular Mechanics can't be trusted because it is owned by Hearst Publishing, part of the establishment.

Thanks for the ping. A couple of French examples:

Pentagate by Thierry Meyssan

>POPULAR MECHANICS assembled a team of nine researchers and reporters who, together with PM editors, consulted more than 70 professionals
>>Popular Mechanics can't be trusted because it is owned by Hearst Publishing, part of the establishment

Did the magazine
do a common sense review
of all the reports

of missles hitting
Flight 800? Did they speak
to dozens of folks

who have researched that?
Where's their high profile debunk
of the fuel spark myth?!

Regardless of how
any magazine reports
one or two stories,

I think folks are right
-- on principle -- to NOT trust
Establishment rags.

[OK]

Skepticism is healthy. The thing about this article that is noteworthy is that it puts to rest some of the most outlandish internet theories with hard facts.

Hijacked planes did hit the buildings, including the Pentagon. Flight 93 was not shot down. WTC 7 was not brought down by bombs. The WTC's were not blown up by the government. NORAD did all they could.

We could certainly ask why the government covered up the facts in the 1993 WTC bombing, the OKC bombing, TWA800, etc. and how this led to not enough action to prevent 9/11.

Popular Mechanics is a CIA "front" operation.

You fell for the cover story?
The truth as I heard it on shortwave radio is that

The CIA is a "front" operation for Popular Mechanics.

The CIA is a "front" operation for Popular Mechanics.


Ahhh HAAAA!

The pieces are now all falling into place!

Considering that earthquakes are the fault of the US are you sure it isn't

"The places that are now falling to pieces?"
