This is what I'm talking about. I'm claimed to have no critical thinking yet here we have claims that perhaps they made a mistake in reporting which building fell down. They repeat over and over that it is the Salomon Brothers Building. Not just her mind you but the anchor as well, long before she comes on the air.
All of this is dismissed and you people wrongly point to the woman as having perhaps made a mistake.
Obviously you people either did not watch the longer videos available or simply do not have 2 brain cells to rub togeather.
Neither does anyone else here think for one second about the CNN broadcast that mentioned the same thing 65 minutes before the building fell.
A lot of you mention thinking or critical thinking. For that to occur you would actually first need to take into account the information before dismissing it out of hand. Obviously that was just too difficult for any of you.
Having debated with some of you before I'm not shocked.
You want some critical thinking? Well here ya go, Chief...try to keep up.
Say you're running a huge government conspiracy to precipitate a war, a conspiracy involving thousands of people, and of such scale that if anyone every pins it on you, it will be a race between the mob and the courts as to who gets to lynch you first. Keeping it secret is the most important objective, and too many people already have been involved. Yet, despite all that, you let the news media in on it...the news media that can't keep a government secret faster than their reporters can type. You give them a heads up, for reasons the conspiracy folks don't seem to think too much about, and not a single one of them blabs. Despite the fact that they love attention, and nothing would be an attention getter like this. They must have evidence, but NOBODY breaks the story.
And don't forget the best part, despite the fact that you were able to secretly carry out the biggest secret attack on the people by their government in history, you are apparently too stupid to not leave around little "clues" for the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew to find (and perhaps the Scooby gang as well, those darn kids!). Forget logic, forget facts! Some dude said "it sounded like a bomb" and some time stamps don't quite match up. Clearly the only explanation is that the Keystone Kops are running the government, creating extremely complex, yet oddly inept, plots. And don't forget we're involving not only the government, but the media, two groups with a LONG history of being unable to keep their collective mouths shut about even the smallest things.
Forget the nit picking. Yes, the various conspiracy theory "clues" have been debunked again and again by people who actually know what they are talking about. But even if you're some kind of moron who doesn't know anything about architectural engineering, or airplanes, or bombs, or anything at all, think about the big picture. The conspiracy theory, regardless of what the details might be, is just too stupid to be real. End of story.
