However, I feel mature enough to stand the heat and not to give in to peer pressure. Especially as I don't spread any particular conspiracy theory, but ask for explanations of physical phenomena that insult my understanding of basic principles of science.
One of the key issues remains the question why and how the trade center building 1, 2 and 7 collapsed. The most intelligent reply I heard about this topic asked for some statements by engineers (thanks, Sophie), which might have a better idea about structural integrity of building, and the ways and reasons why buildings might collapse.
A lot of literature has been published about 911, and you might happily say by conspiracy nuts to make a big buck. But it when comes to making money out of 911 other names come to my mind. Larry Silverstein for example, the lease holder of the WTC complex made several billion dollars just a few months after signing the lease contract for the buildings. Or Halliburton, which overcharged the US government for the ongoing occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, but remains a primary supplier for the US army.
And probably you'll think it's just a publicity stunt, when celebrities like Charlie Sheen or Rosie O'Donnell raise their doubts about the official story. They lack - just like me - the professional credibility assumed by anyone the media calls expert.
Yet some experts use their knowledge to investigate on their own, with the little evidence that is left since most of debris of the collapsed buildings was sold off as scrap metal to China. Pr. Steven Jones, physicist, got hold of samples from the debris of the WTC, and found in it the chemical signature of thermate, an explosive used for controlled demolitions.
Richard Gage, an architect that designs steel-framed highrisers, held a lecture at the Sonoma State University to explain why he came to the conclusion that the buildings WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7 were brought down in a controlled demolition. You can find the link to the presentation on the left side of the "Architects and engineers for 9/11 truth" website, and although the quality of the video is not too stunning, it is well worth watching. For a quick fix in better quality check the the first part of the lecture held in Canada.
The chairman and final editor of the 911 commission report, Philip Zelikow, is not only a participant of the occult Bilderberg meetings and co-author of a book with Condoleeza Rice (and thus not really "independent from the government"), but also, according to Wikipedia, an expert for the creation of public myth. Decide for yourself who might be more competent to explain why fire can or cannot destroy a huge steel construction in a neat, symmetrical fashion.
So for those of you who want to hear some expert opinion about the collapse of the World Trade Center building, have a look at the Architects and engineers for 9/11 truth or Scholars for 911 Truth website, before you refrain to the next unsophisticated ad hominem attack when I mention this topic.
You may wonder why I bring up 911 so persistently, which is easy to answer. 911 is used as a general excuse for abolition of civil rights world wide and the murder of about a million people in Iraq and Afghanistan. Australia will spend 10 billion dollar on its "war on terror" in the next 5 years (according to The Age), which resembles more and more the endless war described in Orwell's 1984.
I think its absurd to claim to live in a civilised society when more tax payers money is spend on war than on education or health. Unless you buy into the doublespeak idea that citizen are civilians, which can be bossed around like the Aboriginal communities by the army.
We study at one of the most prestigious universities of the world, which implies that we will (possibly) earn better wages and therefore pay more taxes than average Joe. This means we contribute more to support governmentally initiated murder.
Less than 10,000 people were killed by terror in the 21th century in the western world (none in Australia), whereas western governments killed about a million people in Iraq and Afghanistan. And historically seen, most governments abused their population at will. Full suffrage for all citizens just happened in the 20th century, in Australia less than 50 years ago. Good luck in numbing your conscience with luxury and trusting the government.
In some ways she was far more acute than Winston, and far less susceptible to Party propaganda. Once when he happened in some connection to mention the war against Eurasia, she startled him by saying casually that in her opinion the war was not happening. The rocket bombs that fell daily on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, "just to keep the people frightened".Orwell, 1984
