Didn't anyone witness this massive magic trick of disappearing people? Hard to explain away hundreds of bodies and two large planes.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') could sit here day in and day out and engage in a turkey-shoot with troothers over every one of their points of evidence but it's the nature of the troother mindset to just ignore the data, dig in their heels, and double-down.

You used "their" incorrectly, given the structure of the sentence and its context.

It that so. I do not think so.

"Why should he bother? The NIST investigative team already refuted every single one. But of course they are in on the conspiracy."
I think it is the other way around. 911truth.org has refuted many of the conclusions of NIST.

On a different note, I went down and sat in a church a few years back and the priest or caretaker (he didn't mention his name) comes up to me and says what sounded somewhat apologetically, "so the church makes money off of weddings and stuff", and I chuckled knowing that "stuff" is a really old word.

What wasn't so funny is that I had watched that Carlin skit about stuff a few weeks earlier and nobody's interested in my university calculus papers.

The Jews controlling the world thing isn't all that far fetched. Bankers have modified the process of money creation so that they basically create fiat money out of thin air and we (governments, corporations, and people) all get indebted in the process. Bankers therefore have huge power over the rest of society (which would explain the lack of much-needed banking reform since 2008, coupled with huge subsidies to the banks to keep them going "for the good of the economy").

In the middle ages in Europe, Jews were not allowed to enter normal professions nor own land. They were stuck with dishonourable professions such as money-lending. The Rothschilds were famously very good at that.

Now, I don't claim that all sinister bankers are Jews, because it would be silly to suggest that were the case. But he who controls the purse strings has you by the balls. And if a large number of the bankers were Jews it would certainly explain the apparently irrational US deference to the Israel lobby.

[onlooker]

From my reading up, I am led to the conclusion that yes Banking is the mother of all dishonorable professions. That it has Dave aptly stated has society in it's grip. Which is why the very rich and powerful are so immersed in it. Think the Rothchild family.

I'm out on a limb on this, but I do have Jewish family & long association with Jewish people in Australia.

I believe there is certainly a Jewish financial elite, one of maybe a handful of financial cabals in charge of maybe half the private wealth in the world. I believe a few Jews ran 9/11. However I am pro Zionist, in the following context:

The Jewish (Ashkenazi cultural hybrid called Judaism) cultural construct in Israel represents the best leadership of any country in the region. The example set in the financial world (with strength based on private usury free loans system & investing always in their own young) & in the agricultural world (feeding many millions from a tiny desertified land), tolerance of pluralist society, generally preferring rule of Law in the western sense.

The middle east & really the whole MENA is ground zero for ELM, AGW & PopBomb (tm) besides being tin pot crazy. Secularism should be supported. Israel represents the only secular government in the region. Erdogan is less trustworthy than a snake, as he proved yesterday. Secular Islam sans strongman has failed to emerge, Obama's true regret.

Some Jews being involved in the global financial power-grab doesn't have any bearing on Jews generally, obviously.

I think Syria will be the end of this adventurism. I believe Obama really did have great intent in the MENA. He bit off way more than he could chew, destroyed 3 countries, maybe more, created a monster.
