Theorists bent on exposing falsehoods in The 9/11 Commission Report maintain the attacks were a conspiracy led by the Bush administration, as UW-Madison students heard Monday at an event sponsored by the Muslim Jewish Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth.
The event, broadcast on C-SPAN, featured Christian theologist David Griffin, Ph.D, and his interpretations of the alleged Sept. 11 conspiracy theory.
Griffin's speech addressed his own compiled evidence that suggests the attacks were not only known about by the United States government and military, but orchestrated in order to expand an "American empire" allegedly based on oil and power.
"Immediately after the attacks, the Bush administration kept referring to the attacks as an opportunity," Griffin said, specifically noting that U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld referred to the attacks as "an opportunity to re-create the world."
Griffin explores these ideas and more in his two books about a Sept. 11 conspiracy theory, "The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11" and "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions Compile the Evidence for Bush Administration Complicity in 9/11."
"The U.S. Military has the best radar systems in the world," Griffin said. "They boast that they don't miss anything in North American airspace."
Given that capability, according to Griffin, the notion that an American Airlines Flight 77 flew toward the Pentagon undetected for 40 minutes or more is implausible.
There is also little evidence of the Boeing 757 that supposedly crashed into the Pentagon; ensuing damage seemed to be caused by a smaller plane, probably a military fighter, according to Griffin.
Similar evidence of conspiracy lay in the ruins of the World Trade Center, Griffin said. The way the buildings collapsed suggests there were explosives placed throughout, where no foreign terrorists could possibly gain access.
"No high-rise buildings, before or after 9/11, have been known to collapse by fire," Griffin said.
The buildings fell straight down and at virtually free-fall speed, according to Griffin. All of the concrete pulverized into fine dust, an occurrence that suggests explosives and not fires aided the buildings' falls.
"I definitely endorse his theory," UW-Madison alum Ryan Ashton said, who read Griffin's first book. "His view is very conservative based on the evidence; he doesn't conclude more than he has support for."
Other audience members agreed.
"I found that his reasoning is quite consistent," UW-Madison senior Greg Jakubczak said. "He didn't exceed his boundaries."
aw shucks.
Did you ever really describe in detail what you saw that day? Many here would be fascinated.
Pictures of what? There is only one video of the first WTC impact and it was caught by pure chance. There was little left of the aircraft after the impact to photgraph.
Heads in the sand idiots on parade. My first laugh this morning...well except for that guy spittin' tobacco juice at Hanoi Jane :o)
What would my life be like without Google? ;-)
Hilarious, your post #43 is, LOL, I did.
"Pictures of what? There is only one video of the first WTC impact and it was caught by pure chance. There was little left of the aircraft after the impact to photgraph."
I think the author is referring to the numerous surveillance cameras in the area of the Pentagon at gas stations, etc. that were seized by the FBI moments after the Pentagon was hit. I think that the author believes that these cameras will reveal a cruise missile, military jet, or maybe Rocky & Bullwinkle as the cause, rather than the jetliner purported to have hit.
Regardless, the entire venture is a huge waste of time, IMO.
The real question is why do these weenie cowards continue to live in a country the obviously hate and find evil?
Leave, nutwads, no one is standing in your way.
beyond L.O.L.....thank you!
One thing that should be remembered is that some conspiracies are false, and others are true, so your intolerance for any and all conspiracies is simply foolish.
That's assuming any surveilance cameras caught anything.
I'll bet Howard Dean was in the audience, taking notes.
