[Peace-discuss] [OccupyCU] Save books, because you can't save kids from Obama?

The key to the WTC demolitions is WTC7.  It was the 47 story building within a few hundred yards of the WTC towers.  The WTC7 fell into its own footprint in less than 10 seconds at 5:20 on 9/11/01.  There were only a few small fires on two floors.  NIST offers no explanation for their conclusions, they just say they can't explain it.   The 9/11 bogus commission didn't even include this in their reports. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth focus on WTC7 because no planes struck it. It was not hit by a plane and with great amazement the BBC actually reported the collapse a half hour before it occurred.  All this is meticulously documented.  I could go on and on here with far more dramatic evidence.  I'm sure many of you know all this.   If you continue investigating just WTC7 issues you find all sorts of financial and political links that are highly suspicious. If you can refute this with real evidence I would be glad to look at it. 
As far as the WTC towers themselves, no other steel frame structures have ever collapsed due to fire.  Here's a small list of comparable buildings that burned far longer and hotter and did not collapse: http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/compare/fires.html  They include the One Meridian Plaza, First Interstate Bank, New York Plaza, Caracas Tower, Windsor Building, Beijing Mandarin Oriental Hotel, CTV Tower  and the recent fires of high rise towers in downtown Moscow and in Chechnya.....I could go on. They were all completely engrossed in flames and there was not even a hint of collapse. 
9/11 led to the Patriot Act which has given us the NSA, Iraq, Afghanistan.... its all pretty clear.  No real independent investigation has ever occurred.  Follow the money.  Again, track down the financial and political connections to 9/11 and the truth will be presented to you on a platter.  Thank you.

Dave, 

While I appreciate the offer, I don't see it as an issue. I also wouldn't go on the radio to discuss with birthers my opinion of that. 

Here's something I never quite understood. We know two planes hit the World Trade Center buildings. What reason would there be to place detonators in surrounding buildings? Did the actual perpetrators of this feel that two planes flying into the twin towers and one into the Pentagon wouldn't bring enough outrage to the American people to help justify going into Afghanistan or Iraq later with the right amount of propaganda? We would need surrounding buildings to collapse to finally put us over the edge?

Oh wait, that's right, a plane didn't fly into the Pentagon. That was a missile, right? Then where did that plane go? Did it just disappear?

My point is that not only do I feel I don't need to spend time and energy investigating 9/11, I also don't feel the need to spend time and energy arguing against the conspiracy theory. 

As far as our government is concerned involving 9/11, if anything, their complicity would be negligence. 

Chris

You left out one other possibility which I feel I fall under. Maybe we just  think it's bunk. For as many people who think this as fact, there are so many  more who do not, many of them architects or engineers.

>>I'll go out on a limb here and defend Carl Estabrook to a certain  degree.  Why is it that certain people can get so disturbed by a  'library' story and then not participate in any sort of local action  involving national issues such as fracking, jails-for-profit, manufactured  wars.  It can be likened to CNN's calculated fixation on George  Zimmerman.  But this is too harsh because I don't know enough about the  individuals who are so exited about the 'library' issue..so I'll back off of  that.  I agree we shouldn't disparage them.  I will not only  defend Carl but take it one more step and ask why there is very little  attention paid to the 9/11 Truth movement.  
>>>There  is more than ample proof that 9/11 was an inside job.  Anyone who  disagrees with this has not researched or have an agenda to suppress it.    To me it is an effective litmus test to judge the real intentions of  a so called peace activist.  There are very powerful forces in the  media and government who want to suppress the 9/11 Truth movement and an  effective way is to distract via Zimmerman or other 'stories' that well up  emotions.  
>>>The  Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.org is initiating a $300,000 world wide campaign to raise awareness.   AE911Truth is comprised of 2000 professional architects and engineers  and over 17000 supporters who prove with the laws of physics that three WTC  towers were intentionally demolished.  A certain middle eastern country  does not want this information known.

    that the library is being challenged to the detriment of the betterment of 
    other worthy causes. This is not the case. It is not a zero sum game. And it 
    is for you to suggest that this is a displaced witch hunt trivializes what 
    is going on at the library and demeans the powerful ripple effect that comes

    content to be in this space whether the target of your critique is Obama or
