Tom, I'm a firm believer in Occam's Razor on matters concerning 9/11. So, my question to you is where are the passengers and planes said to be involved? In looking at the various nefarious matters the US government has been involved in over the years, none have stayed a deep dark secret for very long.
Fair enough question. I will be upfront and admit that there are obviously some missing pieces here. I am still trying to sort this all out. But I approach this like I do my theology. Having nailed down certain aspects I proceed further, but carefully and methodically. I do read a lot of sites - including lots of debunking sites.
On my particular points I raised, specifically those five, I have not really seen credible responses.
Concerning your last statement: Consider some other things our government has done that has been kept secret for years. The deliberate exposure of certain blacks to syphilis is one. Also the stationing of servicemen close to the Trinity Atomic blast to test the effects of radiation is another.
Both in my politics and in my theology I post to this board, not looking for an Amen Corner (but we all like those, myself included) but to be peer-reviewed. More than once I have had to modify my views from disagreeing, sometimes belligerent but helpful, comments here. I am not here to throw bombs (no pun intended) but to sharpen iron, mine and others.
I do not know how many passengers were involved. I believe there was some sort of shell game involved, involving real lives, of course.
I also believe that what happened to WTC 1 and 2 was something unprecedented in our history, some scientific breakthrough weapon that we, only partially successfully, are being kept in the dark about.
Occam's Razor is certainly helpful to keep in mind. But how helpful would that have been for a Japanese person on that day to understand the horrors of the Atomic Bomb?
