What Would It Take?

Just hypothetically, what would it take to convince you that 9/11 was an inside job? I'm not talking real-world here. Just as an exercise.

Is there any proof, any piece of evidence, any confession -- no matter how far-fetched or impossible -- which could, just hypothetically, convince you?

Confession

You might say "sure . . . confession by a high-level insider". If such a confession is the only thing which would convince you, think about this for a second: If you helped to kill 3,000 of your own people, would you admit it?

Probably not.

That's why most criminal convictions take place in spite of the fact that the defendant adamantly denies that he committed the crime. But there's enough evidence from other witnesses or the crime scene that the judge or jury finds him guilty. Or maybe there is such strong evidence that the defendant had the motive to commit the crime -- because he would benefit handsomely from it -- that he's convicted.

You might say that 9/11 is different. If there was a conspiracy that big, someone would have spilled the beans by now. Right?

But -- hear me out -- that's not necessarily true. If, hypothetically, of course, 9/11 was an inside job, then it was probably carried out by a group of very disciplined military type folks who know how to carry out an operation and keep their mouths shut. Moreover, these folks would be used to learning information stricly on a need-to-know basis. In other words, they wouldn't even know that they were helping to carry out 9/11; they would just know their one little part of it.

Moreover, a very small group of people could have carried out 9/11.

And when you think of confessions, you're thinking of small-time criminals. High-level criminals like mob bosses don't go around blabbing to outsiders. And the Nazi leaders didn't really confess their crimes (some did at the Nurenberg trials, but not before).

In any event, many witnesses who are high-level officials, and firefighters, police and FBI have come forward to testify against the U.S. government's version of 9/11.

So -- if there are other types of evidence -- can you at least consider the possibility that 9/11 might, just possibly, be an inside job even if none of the actual perpetrators have yet confessed?

But That's NOT POSSIBLE

Of course, it's IMPOSSIBLE that anyone in our government would do something as horrible as 9/11. We know that because we know that we're the good guys, and that our government tries its hardest to protect us. Right?

Its like a defendant falsely accused of a crime. The jury should find him innocent, because he's a good guy, and his life, his actions have been those of a basically decent guy. It would be very different if the defendant had previously been found guilty of similar crimes. Obviously, in that case, it would be more likely that the defendant did it this time, too. Right?

A good example is Muslim countries and other rotten nations who have terrorized their own people for political gain. If the leaders of one of those countries was accused of a terrorist act, we'd think its possible they did it again. Right?

Well, here's the thing. American political leaders have occassionally exaggerated military intelligence for political gain.

And, our leaders have in fact sometimes used terrorism in the past.

So we can't assume, without looking at the facts of 9/11, that this is not the kind of thing that our leaders would do.

What would it Really Take?

So what would it really take for you to believe 9/11 was an inside job? Disproof of the official story? Okay, here it is.

Proof that the government knew about the pending attacks, but did nothing? Read this and this.

Scientific experts saying it? See this.

Or . . .

Or do you just NOT want to believe it? That's okay. Admit it.

Then when you are ready, take a look at the evidence . . .

Start by actually reading the information contained at the links.

What about the explosives found in the Murrah building in Oklahoma City? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMXMo3Z0qms&eurl=

And the censored Fox News report on Israelis with links to 9-11 being interrogated and deported? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fm0_7jVqcE&search=israel%20spies

Otherwise, I think that this is a good approach. Those two very blatant pieces of evidence you omit though are crucial.

I like what you've done George and it may be good. I'm not so keen on ideas that have several layers in them, or involve some reasoning for people to take on board.

Ideally, if you can get people to take home and view a decent video or pdf (see my blog home page link) then that sort of thing can get them thinking.

FWIW this is what I tell people:
----------------------------------------------------

A senior US Government official has admitted that a foreign nation has been identified as complicit in the events of 911.

Senator Bob Graham, Head of the Joint Congressional 911 Inquiry from Feb - Dec 2002, was interviewed on the PBS Lehrer Hour in Dec 2002:

"I was surprised at the evidence that there were foreign governments involved in facilitating the activities of at least some of the terrorists in the United States.... I think there is very compelling evidence that at least some of the terrorists were assisted not just in financing -- although that was part of it -- by a sovereign foreign government ... It will become public at some point when it's turned over to the archives, but that's 20 or 30 years from now." (link)(link)

WOW!!!

Now we KNOW the 19 hijackers were not operating ALONE.

There was a support base, and others - beside the 19 terrorists - who were aware of the impending attacks.


So there you have it.... a person who should know what he is talking about is telling anyone who cares to listen that there were a lot more people than the 19 terrorists behind 9/11 going right up to the leadership of a sovereign foreign government. Those are his words, not mine.

And you do want to know who those people are, don't you?

You are not going to betray your fellow Americans by allowing these people to go free, are you?

So phone Sen.Graham and DEMAND to know the name of the country HE SAYS was involved in 9/11
----------------------------------------------------
The advantage I find in this approach are several:

(1) It's a simple feature of 9/11.
(2) It says the govt knows an important fact, but won't tell us.
(3) It says we can actually find and prosecute some 9/11 supporters.
(4) It get's people wondering "which country?"
(5) It gets people wondering "why won't they say?"
(5) It gets people wondering "what else are they hiding?"
(6) It provides a practical course of action (phone Congress).
----------------------------------------------------
If people express further interest I can then talk about: Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and all their links to 9/11. Or suggest a video.

If the above approach is useable to you, take it - or go further with what you've got. Best wishes.

Why you have to dance around using innuendo, referring to academics as scientific experts who are clearly not experts in anything relevant to 9/11, is indicative that you have no evidence at all.

Yours is the classic logical fallacy, all bluff and smoke and mirrors. You want people to "believe" you, not present them with any evidence.

This is why you will never succeed with your deceptions about 9/11.

Nice work George. But starting with "convincing people 9/11 was an inside job" skips the first couple of steps. In order to move this immovable object called public opinion, we need to start out small.

1. The official story is in the process of redefining our futures.

2. The official story is false.

Be happy to provide you with a guest blog piece that covers these first important steps. You know where to find me.

Is there some way to include Col. Bob Bowman's observation that if NORAD and the FAA had just followed normal operating procedures on 9/11 all four hijacks would have been intercepted within 20 min.? Only "inside job" explains this "set up" for failure.

S.King,

you don't mention the Mineta testimony.


You can't show "9/11 was an inside job", yet you're very good at showing the ignorance and irrationality of 9/11 Deniers like yourself and Jon Gold, Andrew.

You don't fool anyone.
