> [@Marley23](#): > > Please make your own arguments if you’re going to start a discussion here. I think just about every conceivable September 11th conspiracy theory “controversy” has been discussed at great length on this board, including the idea that experts have ruled out the plane crash and fire as the cause collapse of the buildings. So if you’re not going to add anything or take the time to explain your views, I’ll just close this. I agree. “Pull it!” ---

Is it true that there were no Pitcairn Islanders in the towers that day? I smell a bounty of mutiny… ---

OK, I watched all 2 hours and 15 minutes and just have one question - at 1:37:00, do you think that object on the table is ornamental or actually has some functional purpose? ---

What’s an Architech? Do they build robotic skyscrapers? Was the WTC really a giant death robot, just biding its time? And of course, if there really WAS a conspiracy, creating silly videos has so muddied that water that it would be impossible for any “truth” to find traction now anyway. Good job. ---

They’d get the same protection, but be much more stylish and the Illuminati wouldn’t be able to tell that they’re onto them. Some people just don’t make sense. You think that tin foil will protect you? HAH! That’s what Big Tin wants you to think. ---

It **was** an inside job. The hijackers were **inside** the planes. The building burned on the **inside**. People **inside** the building died. You’re all a bunch of inside deniers. ---

He is also using hair extensions, so you would literally never recognize him. He’s sneaky like that you know. ETA: What do I win???
