Yeah. I ain't buying the idea of syncronized explosions either. & don't kid yourself. They looked for evidence of explosives. There was more than just firemen & rescue dogs crawling all over ground zero. These conspiracy theories were already floating around before the dust cleared.Quote:

His name was leaked to the press between the second plane & the collapse of the first tower, & it's been assumed ever since that he was the "mastermind" behind the attack. Based on what? If there's a US government conspiracy involved with 9/11, it's the propaganda campaign that got us into Afghanistan & is still in full swing from all sides of the political spectrum.
Occam's razor is also a meme.
As for how the towers fell: You see this style of collapse in earthquakes. But that's caused by intense vibration at ground level that creates a sudden settling & collapses the floors from beneath. That starts the chain reaction that brings the top down to squash the whole structure. Syncronized explosions work the same way. The WTC collapse had the same characteristics. That's what leads me to believe that it was vibration more than heat that caused the collapse. Heat dissapates, but vibration would transfer all the way down from the point of impact & even increase in intensity on the way. If there were flaws in the foundation, a violent shaking from the top would exploit them. There was just too much steel to melt with burning kerosene to convince me that it was the fire that brought down the buildings. The elevator shaft was concrete, a natural insulator. The outside was an exoskeleton. The buildings were wrapped in vertical structural steel posts.
Anyway, phew. This can go on & on, can't it? There's always going to be those who see conspiracies everywhere. I can't buy into it because I can't give that much credit to people I know aren't any smarter than I am. Some of the speculations are so outlandish that you'd need alien technology to pull them off. Of course if you mention that to the theorist, they just stare blankly & say "Uh huh... Yeah?" That's when you want to go looking for a butterfly net. :roll: Here's one that has deep tunnels running under the Grand Canyon. Geezle!

So back to the original topic?
Nah! Guns have been talked to death. It's gonna be a while before we see if this latest pontification from the SCOTUS has any impact whatsoever. Wake me up if some bozo blows Scalia away with his/her newly legal gun.
So... How about those trilateralist illuminatis in the CFR? :shock:
