Like any good American, I listen to what our government tells us and initially believe it. However, in the light of certain events, I just can't help but question the events of 9/11. I hate to do it, b/c I hate to think that anything was premeditated by one of our own...but doesn't this make you wonder? How did the BBC report on the collapse of WTC building 7 (aka Saloman Bros. Bldg), 23 mins. before the actual collapse. You actually see the reporter standing in front of a window with the building in the background. She's not saying that it is weak or that it may collapse...but that it had collapsed. Remember, it was very "suprising" that the building even fell...so how would she and the BBC have known? How does that even happen? Please clarify this for me, and don't call me crazy because this is just too weird for me to stomach.

Yes, I used to like to believe that the government wasn't as corrupt and twisted as I see it now...gimme a break, I was only 20 during 9/11.

Okie--how about you answer the question instead of insult me. That would be much more effective than childish insults.

Soro- you didn't even watch it...it's not a "pedestrian" clip. Please watch before forming an opinion.

I don't know why the reporter said what she said, but let me ask you this...Why did the government only tell HER that they were going to blow up the WTC? For that matter, why would they tell her at all? That simply doesn't make sense on any level. Could it be something as simple as her mispeaking in the excitement of the moment?

There seem to be 2 potential controversies here. 1: the bbc being involved in a conspiracy, and 2: WTC 7 was brought down with explosives. On the first point, below is a quote from Richard Porter, the head of bbc news.

1.We're not part of a conspiracy. Nobody told us what to say or do on September 11th. We didn't get told in advance that buildings were going to fall down. We didn't receive press releases or scripts in advance of events happening.

2. In the chaos and confusion of the day, I'm quite sure we said things which turned out to be untrue or inaccurate - but
at the time were based on the best information we had. We did what we always did - sourced our reports, used qualifying words like "apparently" or "it's reported" or "we're hearing" and constantly tried to check and double check the
information we were receiving.

3. Our reporter Jane Standley was in New York on the day of the attacks, and like everyone who was there, has the events seared on her mind. I've spoken to her today and unsurprisingly, she doesn't remember minute-by-minute what she said or did - like everybody else that day she was trying to make sense of what she was seeing; what she was being told; and what was being told to her by colleagues in London who were monitoring feeds and wires services.

The 2nd source link below will take you to Richard Porter's updated explanation of the series of events leading to their botched coverage.

On the 2nd point, to me this is a controversy rather than an conspiracy. They were certainly within their rights to bring down the building, and, yes, it may very well have contained highly sensitive info., etc. that needed to be destroyed. Importantly, massive debris hit WTC 7 from WTCs 1 and 2. One entire bottom corner of the building is gone. The first source link looks at the conspiracies and seeks to disprove them.
My own take is that the BBC simply jumped the gun due to radio speculation and rumors, which contorted "WTC 7 is severely damaged and burning and will eminently collapse" to "it has collapsed".
As for the demolition, again, controversial, but not a conspiracy. There were no casualties, the building did need to come down, and if they demolished it, they should say so.
People who were eyewitnesses? The Bin Laden family. They had FRONT ROW SEATS AND A FREE PASS OUT OF THE COUNTRY!
I don't want to blink when it comes to watching the bush/bin laden connection.
Anyway, check out the links. They're pretty good.

Your an admitted liberal and have an extremely far left bias, there is no way you initially believe anything our government as long as its run by republicans like the "good american" you are.

All of the 911 conspiracy theories have been debunked. And if any tv news channel would be in cohoontz with the administration it would be Fox News, not the BBC.

"Keep your eye on that building, it'll be coming down soon."
the police officer SAID as he clears people from the area near building #7
WHAT DOES HE KNOW? OR DID HE MISS SPEAK?

NEVER MIND THE TIMING, WHY WOULD A PERFECTLY HEALTHY BUILDING COME DOWN, SPECIALLY IF IT WAS A FEW BLOCKS AWAY?

Because it was in Rudy's way

The talk about the demolition of the towers and #7 is not out of impossibility when your dealing with Neo Fascist Ideologues in power and their perverted way of preserving the American way of life. I mean if Saudi Arabia doesn't get it's way, then they can cut off our oil causing us a very bad headache.

I just think it was a bunch of terrorists trying to disrupt THE WORLD ECONOMY ! by targeting "WALL ST", they were trying to disrupt the economy, all of the money in the world, passes through "Wall st", I live in NY, i watched as the towers burned from my house, they made one very large mistake, they tried to take on "NEW YORK CITY", it would have brough ANY other city to it's knee's, we are NOT just ANY other city, we are THE CITY OF NEW YORK !.... C'mon, you don't think that FDNY knew the bldg. was unsafe at that moment ? Yea right, those guys know what's going on around them, it just took that long for the news to catch up, with everything else going on. The whole area was "UNSTABLE". Don't get classified as a "PSYCHO", such as all the other 911 "The gov. did it" theory people. Trust me, I've heard them all, and everyone in NY walks away from the conversation rolling their eyes.

keep digging girl, the light is beginning to shine.

fast version....Illuminati stand at the top of the pyramid. skull and bones, freemasons, red cross, shriners, bohemian grove and many many many other "cults" all over the globe are under them. they control all the big banks, corporations, trade, arms dealers, etc.

george washington, thomas jefferson, martin luther king jr, abraham lincoln, JFK all warned us of these groups, these men and what would happen if they took power. today you see what happens when they take power and it has yet to get bad...you are seeing but 5% of the hell that is about to get unleashed on this world by them.

I could sit here for hours on end filling you in on it all but know the king pins are like Rockefeller, Bilderburg group, etc. Its all money, control, wanting the world like the old days.....king and rich up top as a few, all the rest as slave labor, and that is where they are heading us all.

best advice (not sure of your age) get out of debt, have no debt, for they will put you in a concentration camp soon when you cannot make a payment or are but a day late, and it will get worse from there.

many are fighting back, speaking out, some are moving out of usa and this entire continent cause even canada isn't safe. for they are also doing the north american union which is the merger of canada, usa and mexico, removing the constitution and bill of rights and making it one big police state. some 600 concentration camps are already built, some have massive gas bottles and furnaces as well. sure reminds you of flash backs of nazi's and wwII.

some are waking up, some are blind, some refuse to believe it cause they don't want their life to change. but what they don't realize is, if they don't change their life now, its gonna get changed for them and they won't like that change I can guarantee it.

past picketing, marches, making web sites, videos on youtube, spreading the word, blogs, chatrooms, friends, emails, snail mail, etc. is to remove the items that give them power. money, debit, gas, major commerce.

get back to old ways, old days. Its gonna be hard but its either do that or die. some are already starting, www.relocalize.net. even people in washington state have started to make their own money to break away from the "system", the NWO (new world order). cause our money is worthless now, its not backed by anything and they just print it to print it yet charge you interest if you want any yet they have nothing to back it up, its 100% illegal. federal reserve isn't federal, its a private company with no guards, can do whatever it wants. its a total mess from head to toe.

we have 2 choices......

1. stand, fight, and take back this country like our forefathers originally did when they left england. they left cause of a KING....we are in that situation again, under a KING.

2. stand around, ignore it all, worry about who is hip, what is cool, how is on tv and die very soon a very painful death as a race, as a country and many will actually die a horible death by gas, over work in slave camps or by beheading. a congressmen has been pushing to bring back the giotenne.

everything on tv is fake, democrats, republicans, all you see, congress, senate, elections, etc, all fake, just there for show to keep up in the dark. bush is but a puppet to the real masters of the show. clinton was a puppet, reagan was a puppet, ford was a puppet, carter was a puppet. it goes back to JFK. he was the last TRUE american president by the people. he was the threat in exposing this group that is in power today, that is why that group took him out by bullet.

and if you follow the bible, I can show you how all this links into it as well. for the illuminati are the bloodline of the ancient pharo's of egypt. and they are the kids from the Nephilim, the fallen ones, the 1/3 angels that were cast down from heaven with Lucifer. 9/11 was the key to the abyss to release the demon. the locus in revelation are those (and now you) who are tearing down this wall of fakeness, this matrx that has been put before us for a life of lies. read revelation and realize 2 steps w/ the locus, we are on step one, the tearing down is gonna get worse, world governments soon are gonna step up to help town down this wall of fakeness. but that is gonna make the "beast" angry and cause more things to happen.
