9-11 Truther Movement Hijacked by the Shadow Government two threads run in the critique of the standard picture.

the first is the overt (not just by screw up) complicity by the military and evidence of prior knowledge incl. dates and targets in some cases, and efforts to supress this warning being given. along with this, is the strange focus by stock traders on the only two airlines involved, and the only company with a huge number of floors in one of the building, two or three days prior. And, there is the long standing parapolitics, the corrupt relationship between the Bush family the Bin Laden family, and of course Cheney, Halliburton, et. al. this of course includes evidence of the training received by the hijackers, and other things that are part of the standard view that hijacked airliners took the Twin Towers down. the second, which may include some of this, focusses on the alleged oddities of the collapses themselves. the two threads run to a certain extent together, but as the second thread tends to replace the first, focus goes off the parapolitical context, pretends to prove it by showing that explosives took the buildings down, when in fact it increasingly moves away from it, because you hear less and less about the earlier evidence of govt. direct involvement, and more and more about demolition issues and astounding misinformation about the structure of the buildings, and the only thing it would prove is that someone who had an inside track at the level of say, a janitor, was in on this. Now you have people denying planes hit the buildings at all, which I for one know is a lie, because it was live feed on which I saw the second plane hit on TV, not a modified tape later someone added the plane into. Finally, the second mode of critique has replaced the first. Almost all of the evidence of govt. knowledge and complicity, depends on the first picture, that planes were involved, and did hit the buildings. (even if explosives were involved, you need to have a cover, yet now a move is on to deny planes were even involved.) FAA and NORAD tapes of the locations of the planes at all times, are around, yet some people are arguing that the planes were hijacked, but flown off to crash in the ocean, while explosives alone were involved. Meanwhile, both in the standard response, and in the Truther response, the role of Saudi Arabia in all this is ignored. They supplied all the pilots. It was their Bin Laden family's black sheep who either orchestrated it, or provided an inspiring context (or exploitable context) for this all to happen.

The wars in the Middle East as a result, benefit no one in the Middle East, except perhaps Saudi Arabia, and of course, the US Republicratnazi govt. There was a certain precedent for all this, when the Murrah Building was taken down by McVeigh. Everyone scrambled falling over their feet trying to prove that the gummint did it, and no militia element had anything to do with it. (why then would McVeigh go to his death without explosing this fact, and why did he have connections to militia extremist elements, precisely some who had connection to the son of a major politician in Germany?) The misinformation about the Twin Towers, is present even in the otherwise good critique of the 9-11 Commission by David Ray Griffin, who was introduced at his speech at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI as a Process Theologian and Interfaith Dialogue major worker. Griffin starts with the prior knowledge thing, but then goes on to the demolition thing. And in this, he claims that the Twin Towers were built around weight bearing columns, that were NOT in use as elevator columns, and should have survived the collapse, if demolition wasn't involved. Actually, a look at the plans on Wikipedia, shows that this is false. Griffin said they were famous for this, but what they were famous for was the use of the Vierendeel Truss, "high-strength, load-bearing perimeter steel columns" ...."The core of the towers housed the elevator and utility shafts, restrooms, three stairwells, and other support spaces. The core a combined steel and concrete structure [30][31] of each tower was a rectangular area 87 by 135 feet (27 by 41 m) and contained 47 steel columns running from the bedrock to the top of the tower. The large, column-free space between the perimeter and core was bridged by prefabricated floor trusses. The floors supported their own weight as well as live loads, providing lateral stability to the exterior walls and distributing wind loads among the exterior walls.[32] The floors consisted of 4 inches (10 cm) thick lightweight concrete slabs laid on a fluted steel deck. A grid of lightweight bridging trusses and main trusses supported the floors.[33] The trusses connected to the perimeter at alternate columns and were on 6 foot 8 inch (2.03 m) centers. The top chords of the trusses were bolted to seats welded to the spandrels on the exterior side and a channel welded to the core columns on the interior side. The floors were connected to the perimeter spandrel plates with viscoelastic dampers that helped reduce the amount of sway felt by building occupants." the idea that whether bombs to the use of backup to the molten steel being found would be relevant to were used or not is absurd. It might be relevant some kind of abnormal directed energy weapon as planes.

But the motives this man Griffin has, are clearly to take the heat off of the Moslems, because the purpose of this attack was to sow seeds of hatred between the Abrahamic faiths as the introducer put it.

So with such a great cause in mind, Griffin might well lie, or eagerly accept any crap someone slipped to him. The purpose of this whole criticism, then, was to direct attention away from the islamic radical element. In doing so, one sooner or later ends up taking attention away from the Bush Bin Laden and more extensive relationships. And that is exactly what has happened, even among people who are anti Islamic and want a Crusade, but on this point, they buy into the new underground dogmatism. Alternative press has its own dogmatism. While it includes people who will go after the truth no matter how it embarasses who, it also includes people with an agenda to push. Alex Constantine, for example, is excellent, until you get to the possibility that the CIA and others had a hand in building the acid laced peace and rock scene that discredited the anti Viet Nam war lobby small as it was, that started out respectable. For Alex Constantine, though he may be more pure of heart as he says, than some other researchers, who have shown themselves sometimes very impure indeed, incl. Dave Emory and maybe an Italian named woman I forget her name right now, Constantine has his own weakness. Sex drugs and rock and roll. So when the trail of truth interferes with that, he fails. If he sees government involvement in some rock stars' deaths, it doesn't cross his mind that they were eliminating assets of no further use to them.
