    Just follow the money, there’s documented evidence of unusual pre-9/11 trading that profited from short bets.

    Allen Poteshman’s peer-reviewed study in The Journal of Business (2006) concluded: “there is evidence of unusual option market activity in the days leading up to September 11 that is consistent with investors trading on advance knowledge of the attacks.”

      You cant post anything that slightly resembles 9/11 conspiracy on this site without a slew of downvotes. I made a post just asking if people believed the official story and got verbatim some of the same comments and a slew of downvotes. Presuming they’re not with other malicious motives, I think they’re just close minded dicks

        You’ll have to forgive us close minded fucks, we’ve been listening to people spew uninformed shit about jet fuel and steel beams for 25 years and we’re kinda tired.

    It’s both hilarious and disturbing that, 25 years later, we still have a significant number of people believing controlled demolition took down the WTC towers and building 7. But then again, it’s been nearly 70 years since the JFK assassination and most people still think Oswald was a patsy 🤷‍

    Conspiracism is like gossip, but on a national level. It’s pure poison. It can lead to anything ranging from destroyed personal relationship and reputations, to the Holocaust (think of the shit said about Jews for centuries leading up to it). We shouldn’t be so blasé about that shit.

    And the Epstein case had something 9/11 truth doesn’t: evidence, court-worthy and verifiable evidence. Prosecutable evidence. Undeniable evidence. Show me a bomb-planter who did 9/11 and the paycheque he received for his work from Dubya, and then we can talk. Otherwise, all you have is gossip.

      I mean is it a coincidence that prior his assassination, Kennedy was trying to derail Israel’s nuclear program? A case could be made to suggest that Israel helped plot the assassination.

      The official story has a few questionable things…

      The Pentagon is definitely sus… not only the destruction doesn’t look like a plane hit it… But also how rumsfeld a few days prior talked about missing trillions of dollars

      Building 7… Larry Silverstein talking about “pulling” the building…(never mind his incredible timing on insuring the towers against a terrorist attack.

      George Bush talked about how he watched the first plane hit the building on TV and he thought what a terrible pilot… But he didn’t have much time to think about it as he had to go talk to some kids in grade school

      There’s a lot more I could go on but I won’t

        Yeah I dont subscribe to the whole controlled demolition thing but there was 100% some very dodgy stuff going on around it.

    I used to think that it was a hoax because of WTC7 but I did something that people don’t usually do: challenge my own views and yeah, it was burning for the entire time + rubble hitting it. The steel bar exceeded the containment of concrete causing a structural collapse

      Yeah fair fucks to you. I have only one rule for people I keep close to me in my life: I don’t mind if you’re a cunt to me occasionally, because we’re all a cunt occasionally, as long as you go off and reflect on it and good job, you reflected on it.

      A structural collapse that’s exactly simultaneous on all sides of the building? lmfao

      The nonsense people will eat up to avoid challenging their core worldview is mind boggling.

        There’s footage of it, it literally isn’t simultaneous on all sides lmfao. It slumps inward on one side, then a facade collapses, then the rest of it comes down following the already collapsed sides

        You can literally just watch video footage lmfao

      It was “pulled” (audio recording of him calling it) by Zionist WTC owner Larry Silverstein, with announcement of its destruction press release read on TV with WTC 7 visibly still standing in background image. Most experts believe the operation would need several days of preparation instead of the few hours that took place until a bit past 5pm the same day, and because of this, Silverstein’s $1B asbestos problem that 9/11 solved, could have provided a “backup solution” for the 2 main towers melting beams from jet fuel.
