There are a couple of glaring holes in your theory, Der: [QUOTE=Der Trihs] Fake rubble. [/QUOTE] First off, there was no way they could fake the rubble. Keen eyed workers would have been onto that instantly, and even those in the conspiracy couldn’t have covered such a thing up. No, what was done is real rubble was used from identical Twin Towers, that were destroyed by flying real planes into them. This was done 6 months before 9/11 and the rubble was collected and put on a large mothership (more on this later) and put in position just before the attack. Each piece of rubble was carefully dropped into position (a little known fact is that some of the rubble was actually numbered, similar to the folks who hoaxed the Moon Landing). > [@](#): > > They disintegrated the Towers with orbital lasers using the lasers to simultaneously project holograms of planes “hitting the buildings”, and then to project holograms of the “damaged Towers” for a while. Total horsehit. Sure, sure, the mothership had a cloaking device, but they didn’t project holograms of the damaged towers or air planes. Instead, they used large balloons that LOOKED like air planes (sort of like those used in the Macy’s parade, but really high tech and alieny). The towers, of course, were destroyed by kinetic strikes from orbit using a second mother ship (sort of an Aunt ship I guess…related on the mothers side…who also has kids). Basically, rabid mutant space ferrets ALWAYS use kinetic strikes when taking down 2 towers. They only use orbital GRAZERS (with real ruminants) if there are 1 or 3 towers, and orbital “lasers” (the " indicate finger quotes…and you have to say it slowly for full effect) if there are 4 or more towers being secretly destroyed. EVERYONE knows this, including you, so you must be part of the conspiracy for putting in such blatant misinformation. :mad: > [@](#): > > That “smoke and dust” was just the vaporized towers dissipating. The smoke and dust were from the rubble from the previously destroyed and transported identical Twin Towers, and is a sure sign that mutant space turtles (of the non-ninja variety) were also involved. > [@](#): > > Then they ran a holomovie of the towers collapsing, and the “rescue workers” ran in to dump the fake debris. This is just…well, ok, this one is close to the Truth(er), but is a distortion. They DID run a holomovie, but it was called ‘mutant space muskrat luv’ (with appropriate squeaky noises), and it was for the entertainment of the crew, and also to keep the rescue workers (many of who were non-human) entertained as well. The thing was, the kinetic strikes from the Aunt ship would have been extremely violent, and mutant space muskrat luv is key to maintaining good social and biological order. Also, and I’m only going to lightly touch on this part (don’t ask why, or what might be being touched)…one word. Illuminati Jesus and evolution. Ok, that’s 3 or 4 words (not sure if ‘and’ counts in such a counting, or what the total number of countings would be), but it’s key to understanding the whole conspiracy any what happened, to whom it happened, what species it was, and what the dwarf and donkey were doing in the bottom of frame 347… -XT ---

Especially if you get paid less. I really have never been demoted, so I don’t know much about it. Also, I don’t think pickles belong on burgers, but I’m not sure that has anything to do with the government’s RDA. ---

Not just any [sans serif font](http://achewood.com/index.php?date=07052007) either… And people who actually know things about demolitions will also tell you that those towers didn’t come down like a controlled explosion at all, particularly in the way the collapses started from the points of impact. ---

> [@blabber](#): > > Fine but why is it offered if we can’t use it ? Because it’s not worth the trouble to turn it off and it’s fine once in a while, but highlighting every single one of your posts with blue text and an unusual font is kind of annoying - if nothing else it makes it a pain for people to quote from your posts because they might leave stray bits of coding. ---

If you’ve noticed, no one uses color, text size or fonts, other than to emphasize a particular word or thought. Posts stand out when they are logical and well presented and require nothing more. Using color and font or test size is like waiving a flag and shouting “look at me.” It’s not necessary here. Everyone is already looking. ---
