- neocognitism, on 04/01/2008, -25/+79This is hilarious. I'd believe Al Qaeda before I'd believe the Herkimer crowd though, that's for damn sure.
- Herkimer56, on 04/01/2008, -65/+20Of course you'd believe Al Qaeda, you'll believe anything as long as it comes from someone who hates America. Besides, you and the people in Al Qaeda have a lot in common.
- Wesside, on 04/01/2008, -11/+21You = Rest of the world
America's approval rating for every other country is in the ***** too.- Herkimer56, on 04/01/2008, -19/+15You = Cult of 9/11 member which is what neocognitism is.
- neocognitism, on 04/02/2008, -4/+5Actually you're the conspiracy theorist, continually posting in troofer stories. I've posted in several, total, and only because I've noticed you there.
- Herkimer56, on 04/01/2008, -19/+15You = Cult of 9/11 member which is what neocognitism is.
- itsthebrod, on 04/01/2008, -12/+10Nutjob.
- DaDrake, on 04/01/2008, -15/+1I think he is making a joke ... .gesh
- Hortnon, on 04/01/2008, -3/+18No, Herkimer and Neocognitism have a 'history'....
- Herkimer56, on 04/01/2008, -9/+17Amen
- neocognitism, on 04/02/2008, -4/+4We do? Please, God no, the child isn't mine.
- Hortnon, on 04/01/2008, -3/+18No, Herkimer and Neocognitism have a 'history'....
- chanop, on 04/01/2008, -5/+2The Onion says "Diggers" comment is rediculous

- Optimus, on 04/01/2008, -4/+1Helps ya sleep better at night, doesn't it?
- dracostimpy, on 04/01/2008, -6/+7But neocog, judging by your icon, you are one of the joos! How can you be opposed to Herkimer when he is the head of Digg's Zionist propaganda brigade? Herk, make sure to put him on the list of joos who are not welcome to emigrate to Israel, because neocog is a obviously self-loathing anti-semitic semite al qaeda-loving terrorist!
- defectDS, on 04/01/2008, -1/+8Oh, but Al Qaeda IS HIRED by the American Government to say that!
...
...
/s - arplayer2k, on 04/02/2008, -0/+1Your icon says it all. Let me guess, you also believe in the Zionist movement? LOL.
- Herkimer56, on 04/01/2008, -65/+20Of course you'd believe Al Qaeda, you'll believe anything as long as it comes from someone who hates America. Besides, you and the people in Al Qaeda have a lot in common.
- JagoRayken, on 04/01/2008, -34/+8Fake But Funny
- ThrstForKnwldge, on 04/01/2008, -1/+33I didn't realize it was fake thanks for pointing that out.
- DaDrake, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1no *****
- donosaurr, on 04/01/2008, -0/+10are you even remotely familiar with the onion?
- sickrubik, on 04/01/2008, -1/+21A fake story on the Onion? What is this world coming to.
- pintomp3, on 04/01/2008, -2/+12maybe on april fools they do real news.
- itsthebrod, on 04/01/2008, -5/+3Stupid but dumb.
- flashingcurser, on 04/01/2008, -0/+36Safe in ummmm... ahhh.... somewhere. I spit up my cereal.
- flyingcatcircus, on 04/01/2008, -0/+21Yeah, the actor playing the terrorist needs an award. That was brilliant comedy-acting.
- tidu, on 04/01/2008, -1/+7Why would America kill 3,000 of its own infidels?
- punkcat, on 04/01/2008, -1/+10haha both sides are like WTF
- IslandDog, on 04/01/2008, -13/+40LOL. Nails the loony conspiracies right on the head.
- popfrogs, on 04/01/2008, -17/+16Well when 9/11 and the 9/11 commission left so many holes in the "plot", it gives birth to speculation and conspiracy theories. Building 7 for the WTF.
- ViperDaimao, on 04/01/2008, -10/+22do some research. these holes are only in your head.
http://wtc7lies.googlepages.com/home - sgiffy, on 04/01/2008, -3/+9A truther talking about plot holes. Thats pretty funny.
- macweirdo42, on 04/01/2008, -2/+11So, the government is competent enough to demolish th WTC and kill 3,000 people in the process, and yet not competent enough to hide the evidence from a bunch of tinfoil hat wearing Internet conspiracy theorists? That doesn't make sense.
It seems to me that it's far more likely that, were the government to pull off something like this, there'd be no way to tell.
- ViperDaimao, on 04/01/2008, -10/+22do some research. these holes are only in your head.
- Mikhail101, on 04/01/2008, -0/+3How did something from the onion nail a proove something wrong?
- ciaran036, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1If you'd even bothered to click the link, you would realise that in fact that this article is a joke on a comedy spoof news website. So conspiracy theory still alive and well.

- RansomHoldiay, on 04/01/2008, -13/+13yeah really. conspiracy theorists need to choose their battles. stick to the Illuminati and NWO and the CFR.
- sgiffy, on 04/01/2008, -1/+1Don't forget the NAA and HAARP
- Cl1mh4224rd, on 04/01/2008, -0/+3Ooo... HAARP, the Swiss Army Knife of conspiracy theorists. That thing's responsible for everything from mild headaches to the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake. Heh.
- sgiffy, on 04/01/2008, -1/+1Don't forget the NAA and HAARP
- fr3ddie, on 04/01/2008, -15/+1did he just predict a terrorist attack or wtf?
- diggnitarial, on 04/01/2008, -39/+12Keep smearing those who know the truth. Any publicity is good publicity, thanks!
- DanMiller, on 04/01/2008, -13/+17No it's not, and you are an idiot.
- spider418, on 04/01/2008, -0/+6Don't be so quick to judge. He may be Al Qaeda.
- thedogfatherx, on 04/01/2008, -5/+13oh ok buddy
- Logicexe, on 04/01/2008, -2/+9If that claim held any water Elliot Spitzer would be President right now.
- Anon3870, on 04/01/2008, -1/+7I'd always given Canadians more credit than that... Well I suppose there always has to be statistical anomalies...
- pintomp3, on 04/01/2008, -6/+2you don't KNOW anything. i think there are a lot of valid questions and some reasonable speculation, but no one from either side of the debate can claim to KNOW anything.
- sq2shooter, on 04/01/2008, -1/+4Having your hatred/paranoia of the federal government blind you to reality is just sad. But hey, keep believing that they are out to get you.
- macweirdo42, on 04/01/2008, -1/+6If you go in with the the bias that the government must have been responsible, of course you're gonna find evidence to support your claims. There's no possible way that you couldn't. Your claims are not even falsifiable. Even on the off chance that you're right, and that the government WAS responsible for 9/11, you won't have been right because you had some great insight - it will have been sheer, stupid luck.
- DanMiller, on 04/01/2008, -13/+17No it's not, and you are an idiot.
- bmdubya, on 04/01/2008, -7/+22I'm definitely not going to Washington D.C. on October 12, 2009
- daridave, on 04/01/2008, -2/+1Wuss. /sarcasm
- santa7, on 04/02/2008, -0/+1Just don't go to Washington D.C. ever.
- whatsupimphil, on 04/06/2008, -0/+1Especially after the onion predicted 9-11: http://www.theonion.com/content/news/terrorist_ext ...
- havocjaw, on 04/01/2008, -12/+1... How about you take your family to the top of the monument.... lets say about....
lol spank me - mrzack, on 04/01/2008, -33/+14CIA created Al Qaeda. Do some research. Stop living in denial. Bush and co don't steal elections cuz they really want to be president. They have a NEW WORLD ORDER to create.
- DanMiller, on 04/01/2008, -7/+9The US has created many insurgent groups throughout history. However, the charge that Bush has in the last 8 years developed a massive conspiracy to take over the world and enslave the masses is a bit over the top. Don't give Bush to much credit, he is in the business of making money for his constituents beyond that his asperations don't seem to go beyond tap dancing on the white house lawn and raping the easter bunny
- localcats, on 04/01/2008, -6/+2You make raping the easter bunny sound so trivial and easy. The president has a tough job.
- DanMiller, on 04/01/2008, -2/+2Nah the bunny didn't even run
- localcats, on 04/01/2008, -0/+3Then it's not rape in my book! ;)

lol - itstodd, on 04/01/2008, -2/+12good god, you morons are too funny.
- Anon3870, on 04/01/2008, -3/+1Bin Laden created Al Qaeda, the US government paid them to cause the russians trouble... It's been their standard foreign policy. F*ck the world. And now it's coming back to them. Pity that we seem to be getting a heap of decent americans these days (mrzack as an exception of course)
- ViperDaimao, on 04/01/2008, -2/+7you actually think bin laden would have taken money from the west? we helped the afghans defend their country against the invading russians, but bin laden was not part of the group we worked with.
- sgiffy, on 04/01/2008, -1/+3And at the time, it was the right thing to do. The problem was that we neglected the peace and as a result Afghanistan descended into chaos, which is always a good encourager of terrorism. It did not help that few even knew we helped save their asses.
Unfortunately we seemed to not have learned that lesson and this time decided to create two failed states.

- ViperDaimao, on 04/01/2008, -4/+30I think the "fake but accurate" label could go on this one.

- jacobonline, on 04/01/2008, -9/+38Ohh God. Here comes the arguments. Our current administration couldn't plan their way out of a wet paper bag. The only thing they seem to be able to do is ***** everything up.
- Chandon, on 04/01/2008, -6/+10They couldn't plan their way out of a wet paper bag, but somehow they stayed in office for two terms and all their friends have made a ***** of money on a war that no-one was even considering back in 2000. I'm not saying that they masterminded 9/11, but it would be pretty stupid to assume that a group that accomplishes basically all of their goals is incompetent.
- Marijuana, on 04/01/2008, -7/+2Exactly. And there's nothing wrong with "the arguments". Nobody wants to believe that their country would perpertrate a false-flag attack on their own soil.
- ViperDaimao, on 04/01/2008, -1/+9no, the truther arguments are predicated on selective quoting and ignorance of physics and engineering. and while I can believe a person would "perpertrate (sp) a false-flag attack on their own soil" I cannot believe that none of the thousands of people involved would come forward, much less the tens of thousands of individuals involved with the clean up, rescue operations, and subsequent investigations would all also cover it up.
- ciaran036, on 04/01/2008, -1/+3Tens of thousands of people that helped the plan come to fruition without even realising it! It's like the arms manufacturing company down the road from me - they say their doing nothing wrong, they just make the missile guidance software for 'defence'. They don't realise that they are helping out in the murder of thousands of people.
And thousands of people were clearly not involved anyway. Sure the official version of events has us believe that a handful of terrorists single-handedly drove those planes into the towers!

- Groovemaster, on 04/01/2008, -2/+3I agree. He's a frontman for the group of people who create obvious psyops like 9/11.
- ciaran036, on 04/01/2008, -2/+3Definitely. Or as David Icke calls it - A problem-reaction-solution mind control technique.

- lucasmaximus, on 04/01/2008, -3/+19It is called black humour mate.
- keltin, on 04/01/2008, -4/+3What does Barack Obama have to do with it, maximus?
- jcm267, on 04/01/2008, -4/+11After you've seen enough of the people trying to exploit 9/11 for their own financial gain (Alex Jones, Dylan Avery, etc) and seen enough of their insane and gullible followers (the truthers) you will become desensitized to jokes about 9/11.
- diespectra, on 04/02/2008, -1/+1So it's exploitation when Alex Jones and Dylan Avery put videos out on the web for free, but you don't even mention all of the politicians that get their friends no bid contracts and take kick backs from going to war using 911 as justification even though it has nothing to do with that country?
- lucasmaximus, on 04/01/2008, -3/+19It is called black humour mate.
- torressr3, on 04/01/2008, -22/+3hahah yeah right.
So let me get this straight: alcaida has a spokesperson, which went to an American television channel and showed his face?

- ciaran036, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1you weren't reading David Icke by any chance? Apart from Colonel Sanders, it's pretty much everyone David Icke highlights as to who he believes is part of the plan.
- mprice177, on 04/01/2008, -7/+1Thinking of getting 40 virgins from Allah for killing innocent people...ridiculous!
- DanMiller, on 04/01/2008, -1/+0Ah you don't? *****! Now what do I do with all these bodies.

Wow, hahahhaa. - Betrayal, on 04/01/2008, -26/+29It's Al CIAda
And i love how anti-9/11-truthers use every possible satire to "disprove" conspiracy around 9/11 but fail to look at facts and history such as reichstags fire or gulf of tonkin incidents.- ViperDaimao, on 04/01/2008, -12/+29so you're saying hitler burns down the reichstag means 9/11 was an inside job? despite the mountains of evidence and thousands of scientists and engineers world wide who say it wasn't?
- Marijuana, on 04/01/2008, -16/+3Viper, stfu. We've all been atleast once in our lifetime through the "America is perfect" phase.
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 04/01/2008, -4/+11That has nothing to do with the whackjob conspiracy theorists being 100% wrong.
- ciaran036, on 04/01/2008, -2/+1That's not what he was saying.
- Marijuana, on 04/01/2008, -16/+3Viper, stfu. We've all been atleast once in our lifetime through the "America is perfect" phase.
- XanderDee, on 04/01/2008, -18/+10That is because never in the history of man have people conspired to take power and money. It just never happens and if you say so you are crazy and should be put in a secret prison and tortured.
I'm being sarcastic of course. But the main reason I did not want to look at the 911 evidence because I did not want to believe it and I was afraid if I did look and realized it was true, I would be persecuted.
I am not afraid anymore. The truth is the truth. People only believe a lie because it is easy for people to process as it was for me.- ViperDaimao, on 04/01/2008, -5/+15you were afraid to delude yourself? dude, look at the evidence, there's no holes, there's no disagreement about it. no part of any truther explanation makes sense, be it controlled demo, space beams, nukes, therm(i | a)te, or holographic planes.
http://wtc7lies.googlepages.com/home - sgiffy, on 04/01/2008, -2/+5Committed sure, persecuted, no.
- ciaran036, on 04/01/2008, -4/+4So many people are in denial. Sure it's great to ignore the facts and just pretend everything is fine, but there are people out there who were suspicious from as soon as the second plane hit - after all many people accurately predicted the event and how it was used to justify war in the Middle East - for example David Icke and Alex Jones. At least watch 'Loose Change' or 'Zeitgeist: The Movie' before you criticise 'truthers'.
- Herkimer56, on 04/02/2008, -2/+3I love it when the truthers talk about people that don't buy in to their ***** as being in denial.

- Hetman, on 04/01/2008, -7/+18I agree with the prison. Gitmo needs to be shut down. However their is just more proof that 911 was done by someone outside the U.S. And it is convienient that that troothers change their story like every 2 weeks depending on which psuedo scientist they have working for them at the moment. Its like christian evangelistic science. It just doesnt add up.
- ciaran036, on 04/01/2008, -4/+4No they don't. The story has stayed the same since 1998, when David Icke predicted that there would be a massive attack on a major US city between 2000 and 2001 and that it would be used to create monsters in the media and justify war in the Middle East - Divide and Rule.
Story hasn't changed since and so many people have come to the exact same conclusion - different people from different places who have looked up the evidence for themselves. It is therefore ridiculous to suggest that these people are crazy - you have to at least listen to their arguments.- Cl1mh4224rd, on 04/01/2008, -2/+6> "[...] predicted that there would be a massive attack on a major US city between 2000 and 2001 [...]"
Huh? There's nothing "between 2000 and 2001". If you want to be less formal, you can assume that means "from the start of the year 2000 to the start of the year 2001", but that actually excludes the year 2001, in which the 9/11 attacks actually occurred.
So, prediction failed.
Also, "massive"? Granted, it was the single largest terrorist attack on American soil in... ever... and even one life lost to such an attack is significant, but... "massive"? Not really...
> "Story hasn't changed since and so many people have come to the exact same conclusion [...]"
So... what *is* "the story", then? I don't think "9/11 was an inside job" quite qualifies...
- Cl1mh4224rd, on 04/01/2008, -2/+6> "[...] predicted that there would be a massive attack on a major US city between 2000 and 2001 [...]"

- BohicaTwentyTwo, on 04/01/2008, -5/+14So the Nazis did 9/11? Or was it LBJ?
- ciaran036, on 04/01/2008, -3/+4No. Nazis didn't do 9/11. That's ridiculous.
- BohicaTwentyTwo, on 04/02/2008, -2/+6So you admit that Lyndon B. Johnson did it.

I cant understand why people are surprised when millions of Americans start questioning the "official" story. In my eyes if you can detonate a truck full of high explosives next to a building (Oklahoma Federal Building) and still not cause it to collapse you certainly need more than diesel fuel to freefall any other building. Oh yea NORAD was called off, um, intelligence reports months b4 the attacks ignored......what more do you need to at least admit the United States Government allowed 9/11 to happen.- ViperDaimao, on 04/01/2008, -4/+9"Oh yea NORAD was called off, um, intelligence reports months b4 the attacks ignored"
both false.
look, wtc7 was built with a non conventional design. large chunks of plane and debris from wtc2 knocked large chunks out of the building in important load bearing places. after burning for 6 hours with no firefighting effort (no water pressure, busy with rescue operations) it collapse. the north penthouse collapsed first, then a few seconds later the rest collapsed on to it, all in all it was much slower than free fall.
please, take the time to look at the evidence and get on with your life http://wtc7lies.googlepages.com/introduction- klax89, on 04/01/2008, -3/+3The 9/11 truth movement is largely the want and need for a new investigation. If the government would allow an independent investigation, then we may finally understand what really happened that day. I think that just dismissing all of the coincidences is very hard to do, if not impossible. Even if this administration didn't plan it, the story they offer up isn't very reliable.
- ciaran036, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1Come on we can clearly see in various videos the building, which appears completely intact, to just collapse for seemingly no apparent reason. The official explanation does not go into enough detail so surely it must be examined with much more scrutiny!
- ciaran036, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1Oh for god sake it's obviously an unusual incident surely the 'official' version of events must be questioned!
Plus the BBC reported it's collapse 20 mins before it actually did.

- Hetman, on 04/01/2008, -2/+3What is freefall style. If you look at the empact craters of all the buildings it is spread out over a wide area. The whole freefall idea is not even defined properly. Different bodies fall at different speeds. My freefall speed is different than say a feathers. Where did you get your comparison from. How do you know what a 100 story building free fall speed is. You are just not making sense.
- republicker, on 04/01/2008, -4/+4google it and you will know, if you dont want to, its the free fall speed of a building that is demolished with explosives.
- Hetman, on 04/01/2008, -2/+3We have never demolished a building of that size so you cannot compare it. Finally i have looked at the evidence on both sides. Their might be unanswered questions like why the ***** did they not take threats from al queda seriously. "incopetence," but when it comes to the science of the building falling their are far more qualified engineers who annomously agree that the bulidngs feel because of a ***** plane crashing into them. And the way that the wtc were designed did not help their chances of surviving either.
- republicker, on 04/01/2008, -4/+3wtc7....
- Hetman, on 04/01/2008, -1/+6Debri fell onto it. And no one was fighting a fire. The only reason that a building doesnt collapse is because fire fighters enter it and stop it from burning. If they do not enter it is just going to burn until it falls. and as mentioned lots of debri hit the building.
- knobtwiddler, on 04/01/2008, -3/+3this is a freefall
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4770631286 ...
very slight damage and minimal fires. this building was brought down by explosives, period.
demolition companies have to plan demolitions for weeks to get buildings to collapse that symmetrically and smoothly. that entire structure was sliced up with thermate cutter charges (hence the molten thermate residue in the wreckage), perfectly timed by computer. this is a classic controlled demolition and anyone who does not see that is asleep or a paid propgandist. - knobtwiddler, on 04/01/2008, -3/+2http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4770631286 ...

Anyhow, regardless of the details of what happened in 9/11, it was predicted by Alex Jones months before:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UGtOFudmHG8
And David Icke (conspiracy theorist since the 70's) predicted it years in advance:
He wrote this in 1999: "Between 2000 and 2002, the United States will suffer a major attack on a large city."
And this in 1998:
“The Bush inauguration marks the start of the massive push by the Illuminati to further their agenda for a global fascist state. You will see this clearly unfolding in the next 24 months and, as usual, watch what they do, not what they say. Given that line-up and their mentality and agenda, don’t be at all surprised if the United States finds itself in another manipulated war during this administration. You will see monsters being created in the public mind to justify such action.”
“the plan is to engineer events, real and staged, that will create enormous fear in the countdown years to 2012. This includes a plan to start a third world war either by stimulating the Muslim world into a Holy War against the West or by using China to cause global conflict. Maybe both.”
Chillingly accurate!
Here's more from his 1998 book, 'The Biggest Secret':
“will believe anything if you tell them often
enough and if you can engineer events which create the ‘something must be done’
mentality in the public mind.”
“Britain, like
America and virtually every other country in the world, is a one-party-state while the
public go on thinking they are free because they have the right to put a cross on a piece
of paper every five years and choose the next Brotherhood puppet to run their country. In
the United States, staggeringly, they vote electronically and this makes it so easy to rig.”
“The basic structure is designed around a
world government which would take all the major decisions in the world (see Figure
27). This would control a world central bank, currency (electronic, no cash), and army.
All this would be underpinned by a microchipped population linked to a global
computer. Under this structure would come three superstates - the European Union, the
American Union, and the Pacific Union (Asia, Far East, Australia). This edifice of
power would dictate to the current nation states which are planned to be broken up into
regions to dismantle any unified response to the structure I’ve described. It would, quite
simply, be a global fascist dictatorship and we are so close to this unless there is a
revolution of thinking among the mass of humanity. The network I have summarised in
this chapter allows for this Agenda to unfold because there are Brotherhood agents
working within all the political and economic groups needed to make it happen. The
more global problems that can be created, the more pressure there will be for global
solutions - the centralised control. The second tier, the ‘unions’ of superstates, is well on
the way.”
“We are being conned and the Brotherhood initiates at the top in the banks and
corporations have been activated to frighten the people into believing there will be an
economic collapse if a country does not join the single bank and currency.”
“The
American Union is designed to evolve from NAFTA, the North American Free Trade
Agreement”
“a contact with relatives in the Vatican
told me that they were slowly poisoning the Pope to ensure that he dies in time for their
chosen one to replace him at the right time. We should expect, he said, to see the Pope
looking more and more frail and sick in the weeks and months ahead.”
“Such
conflicts all over the world lead to demands that something must be done and that
‘something’ is always further centralisation of power.”
“the European
Union in which the nations of Europe are subordinate to common laws decided and
imposed by the unelected dictatorship in Brussels. The European Union is truly a fascist
state”

According to David Icke, reptilian humanoids are the force behind a worldwide conspiracy directed at manipulation and control of humanity. He contends that most of the world's leaders, from Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton and George W. Bush to members of the British Royal Family, are in fact related to the 7-foot (2.1 m) tall, blood-drinking, laser blaster-toting reptilians from the star system Alpha Draconis.

- gravitator, on 04/02/2008, -6/+1Looks like 9/11 and the whole anti-terror hysteria was organized and orchestrated by US Government, Al Qaeda is just the performer. Although Osama bin Laden claimed responsibility, there is no proven evidence that Al Qaeda stays behind the attacks (remember that passport that was found?). There is however a proven evidence that Osama bin Laden is not been caught since 2001 primarily because he has not been seriously looked for. Also there is a fact that 9/11 has opened the doors for the USA to control any country in the world using the anti-terror slogans.
