Carl Sagan is arguably science's biggest rockstarthe ultimate champion for logic and reason. Which makes it all the more painful to find out that his son is a vehement 9/11 truther.
In a recent interview for a radio show called 9/11 Free Fall (already off to a great start), Jeremy Saganthe younger son of Sagan senior and his first wife, fellow scientist Lynn Marguliswent off on all us closed-minded sheeple. In response to a prompt asking when he first "woke up," Sagan remarks:

What is a 911 truther, specifically?
Careful now, only the government line is allowed at FR. I’ve already been threatened for even posting an essay asking if it is time to take another look at the evidence, without even taking sides!
Sounds like the Sagan offspring has gone total tinfoil hat.Perhaps he’s trying to get back at dear, deceased dad for some bizarre reason.
Yes, and I suspect he also blows bubbles in his own drool. Global climate change is of course his most fervently held religious belief when he's not busy molesting small animals or sacrificing his imaginary girlfriends to the god of pitter patter. Gee, what a surprise.
If you are at all curious, a link on my profile page will take you to an essay regarding WHAT happened on 911; not who, not why, not how, just really WHAT happened. The government line does not hold up to the Physics. But idiots like Steven Jones throw so much gas on the fires of argument with their idiotic nano-thermite or mini-nuke crap that a reasonable discussion is not possible, especially here at FR.
It stems from the Bushes’ NWO involvement or whatever. It’s amazing how many people believe this stuff. I’m not fan of the Bushes’, but I don’t think GWB truly had anything to do with it.
The most dangerous thing about the anthropogenic global warming stupidity is that it is taking peoples’ eyes off of the real pollution problems spoiling the biosphere. But of course carbon taxes will make trillions whereas regulating the chemical industries rubs the oligarchy the wrong way, in their pockets.
I once argued with my brother that to set up some controlled demolitions at those buildings it would take a team of hundreds. Not to mention that thousands more had to be in on it.
If it were a false flag, then some people would be blowing that whistle to high heaven. I will admit that coincidence seems to stretch, and lose all integrity that day. But then I know our minds cannot possibly comprehend what happened. He kept saying why wouldn’t they be able to? I concede that “they” could have, but not one person of the thousands it would have taken to do it have spoken up? But I also know that day was a multiple shock event. Literally, shock, after shock , after shock, after shock. People just couldn’t believe it was possible.
Think about it.
8:46 Flight 11 hits north tower - W T F?
8:47 Every single person in the nation watching live the north tower burn.
9:02 By this time much of the world is watching live, millions if not billions are either shocked, or celebrating.
9:03 Everyone watches a second plane LIVE hit the south tower. At this point, the brain receives a second shock. America is undoubtedly under attack.
9:04 Millions reel from the implication.
9:37 Pentagon hit. Shock three.
9:38 It must be over, right? No way this gets worse.
9:59 The unthinkable happens, south tower collapses, killing thousands live with the world watching. Shock four.
10:28 Everyone knows whats about to happen. It can be worse. Much worse. North tower collapses. Thousands more die on live television with the entire world watching. Shock five.
10:29-8:00PM Americans are pissed. Screaming for blood.
8:30PM George W Bush declares a war on terrorism.
8:31PM The world changed, in the span of 12 hours. The entire world. Shock six.
Many minds cannot handle it. I couldn’t. I was about 13-15. Just recently I realized how important that day was, and how it changed my life. Even though I was 3000 miles away.
I will concede it is fishy that there was only one official investigation. Pearl harbor had what, a dozen or so? But I believe the official story.
I still cannot understand the motivation behind it. It defies all reason. But that’s from my point of view. Not everyone is the same as me, nor thinks the same. This is what “truthers” are forgetting. You can’t get into Osama bin Ladens head by knowing your own. All you can do is kill him, and let the dust settle. That’s it. We did too. His rotten corpse should have been paraded from coast to coast. People should have been allowed to desecrate it, and at the end fed to a bunch of hogs.
What really disgusts me is how fast Americans are to forget. Even the farthest left progressive was screaming for blood that day. But when Obama allowed Osama a full islamic respectful burial there was not one peep. The arrogance of this nations people astounds me. I honestly believe it is a symptom of true freedom. I think most men don’t know what to do with freedom, and subconsciously wish to be dominated. The modern progressive/liberal does not deserve freedom, and will eventually ensure that no one else does either.
I just turned thirty, I am afraid for the future. The world hates America. A second civil war will have all of our enemies picking at us as we kill each other. But that’s what it is going to come down to, that or Americans will finally give up their freedom and go home. Because the modern liberal cannot handle it. Without a huge portion of the population waking up we are screwed.
That’s because Americans do the impossible. Not anymore though.
Yep- he's in the same exalted class as the genius Al Gore.
WAS?
Late-1993, renowned astronomer Carl Sagan learnt that Apple’s forthcoming computer, the Power Macintosh 7100, had been given a codename of “Carl Sagan” the joke being that they would sell “billions and billions.” This was mentioned in a MacWEEK article some time later, to which Sagan sent the following letter in response.
Apple soon changed the codename to “BHA.” Upon learning that it stood for “Butt-Head Astronomer,” Sagan filed a lawsuit for defamation of character, and lost. He then sued Apple again, for the original codename, and lost again. So he appealed. Late-1995, the two parties settled out of court, and Apple apologised for any unintended distress caused by the situation.
The 7100’s final codename was “LAW.” It stood for “Lawyers Are Wimps.”

Utterly absurd explanation and the Physics prove your explanation absurd. Your explanation is no more feasible than the mini-nukes or nano-thermite idiocy. But pitch man, pitch it. You will get no real opposition at FR because only the government line is allowed airing here.
I agree that the official story stinks. It’s fishy.
But a 9/11 truther is someone that believes that the “they” did it.
“They” can be anyone from “the jooos!”, to “Bush”, to “NWO”, to “illuminati”....or is it the “freemasons?”
All the 9/11 truther arguments come down to the same motivation. So that America could wage war around the world for oil. That can’t possibly be true. We have oil, lots of it. Much easier to gag and bag important leftist envirowackos in the middle of the night and disappear them then drill here. Then to spend trillions of $, and thousands of lives on it. Plus, where is all that oil?
What is the motivation then? There isn’t one.
The only narrative that fits is radical islam did it so they could have a round of high fives (or whatever the equivalent is). That’s what they do. Kill as many people as possible on live television to incite fear, chaos, and death.
The only possible coverup I can imagine happening is that the feds knew the plot in advance. But they didn’t know the perps, nor the time table. Or they didn’t believe it possible.
There was quite a bit of acrobatic flying that day; pretty impressive handling of big commercial jets for novice pilots.
It was hit by huge chunks of the WTC and burned for hours.
the cell phone calls at 30,000 feet
What cell phone calls at 30,000 feet? Link?
and the airline stock puts before 9/11?
What airline puts? You mean the puts that traded on options exchanges for decades?
Do you mean bad guys bought puts before the attack? Do you mean some idiot made a claim with no proof?
Be specific.
He’s highly overrated. He was way ahead of the curve as a global warming proponent in the late 70’s, also a “nuclear winter” disarmament activist. I think he was part of the Nuclear Freeze movement.
