[quote=“Muzha Man”]Okay, I’ll bite. Why have no other buildings ever come down from fires? Don’t know. But if you believe that an anomoly proves something then let’s consider why have no other skyscrapers ever been intentionally demolished for their insurance money? According to your logic, since none ever have it is inconceivable that the trade centre buildings were demolished on purpose since only things that have happened in the past can happen in the future.
Now I’ll tell you why no skyscrapers have been demolished for their insurance. Because you can’t hide such a thing. In addition, most skyscrapers are are a lot more valuable standing than lying. Do you people really think that the trade towers weren’t making the owner a fortune, a lot more than the few billion he supposedly got from insurance? Was he really so stupid to kill the golden goose to try to get the (smaller amount of) gold inside?
Is their any evidence he needed the money? To pay off cocaine debts for the entire east coast perhaps? A man that rich does not need a couple billion payout. If he wanted that money he could borrow it (the towers would make pretty good collateral, I bet).
A conspiracy of this size is unimaginable. The government couldn’t even keep secret the fact it was torturing people in Guantanamo. Guantanamo, the most secret place in American territory. Even there, with all military personal and maximum security, they couldn’t keep it a secret.
Whistelblowers exist everywhere. The only way to believe your conspiracy is to assume the government is a whole lot more capable than you are, and that everyone who works for them is dedicated to the president absolutely.
In other words, you have to forget everything you have seen and learned as an adult and resort to a caricature of politics and human nature.[/quote]
Great arguments, but we’re not saying it was an insurance job. It was to gain support for aggressive moves into the Middle East, and the insurance payout was a lucrative by-product of this.
And I know of several people who have damaged their own buildings for insurance, even setting fire to them. Not friends of mine, you understand.
The owner only had the buildings for six weeks before their collapse. That meant that the previous owner felt it wise to sell them off. That meant they weren’t that good an investment, no? Until the insurance paid out. Then, of course, how lucrative would it be having such prime land rioe for building. Then how muc money could you make building two new skyscrapers. Then you’d be in exactly the same situation as before, except with a US$2.2b payout in your pocket, profits (backhanders) from construction, and a brand new building to lease out. Seems like a good enough deal to me.
And guys that rich do crave more money and more power. That’s how they got rich in the first place. And it don’t stop once you’ve made a nice nest egg, does it?
As for such a theory being unbelievable (a govt wouldn’t do that!), why can we not believe it about a govt run by some of the richest guys in the world, but we can about other countries around the world … so much so, that we set off and invade them and put the corrupt govt officials on trial. Why can the white man be beyond such practices but the non-whites be perfectly capable?
Looks like that caricature is imitating life, after all. Or is it that life is imitating the caricature?
