If they wanted to fake an airliner hitting the Pentagon why didn't they hit it with an airliner? You realize you can have a conspiracy and have a plane hitting the building too, right?

It's strange how that's a reasonable position but you will reject it outright because missiles are cool.

There is literally no physical evidence of a missile. Even one piece of airliner is more physical evidence of a plane then you have for a missile. If a plane didn't hit the building "because there's no debris", then neither did a missile for the exact same reason. So what did hit it?

The vast majority of debris that was outside was the skin, in large part because it's thin aluminum. But yes, the physical debris is inside.

This video is clearly filmed several days after impact. There's no smoke, people are walking around on top of the rubble and the roof, and there's lots of heavy equipment around. You also don't exactly get any wide shots of the scene. All the light debris outside was probably long since picked up or relocated to clear the area.

Because this is filmed in Shaky Horror Cam and the audio has been destroyed, people want to pretend that this was like minutes after the impact. But... lol... no smoke. They sprayed water on the site for two days but you can see there's no more water being sprayed.

They'll claim there's no debris, you show them a picture of the actual main landing gear, they'll claim it was planted there. There is literally no answer for them except what they made up in their minds, believing foolish videos made by anonymous weirdos.

I'm not even going to dignify this with links to pictures of the landing gear. It's been 20 years, everybody has seen that picture at one point or another, at this point it's just willfully erasing your own memory to pretend you didn't see it.

It's funny how the most sensible 'conspiracy' you can have here is that they flew a remote-controlled airliner into the building, which would account for everything, but the conspiracy theorists reject it because missile theories are 'cooler', even though there's no evidence at all of a missile.

Was the Reichstag Fire a false flag?

It's amazing how angry this stuff makes you.

The site is covered in cranes and heavy equipment. Clearly this is days or even weeks after the impact. You couldn't figure out from the lack of smoke?

All I have to do is ask you what day this was filmed and you'll have to say "I don't know" because that info isn't provided.

This video is clearly filmed days or maybe even weeks after, if you couldn't tell from all the heavy equipment and total lack of smoke.

Wait a second did you actually think this was what, mere minutes after impact? Why, because it's weirdly loud and shot in shaky horror-cam?

That doesn't make sense. If people couldn't get sheet wood then there wouldn't be any sheet wood to be found, it'd be flying off the shelves. If they couldn't get stick wood and thus weren't buying sheets, then the prices on sheet wood should be near-zero because there's too much inventory sitting around.

If he's to be believed, then there's shitoads sitting around AND the price is outrageous.

I understand why it exists, because the manufacturer doesn't want to deal with the headache of distribution, but sometimes I do wish 'distribution' was MUCH more regulated by the government. That entire "middleman" system is basically just a license to artificially manipulate markets and rip everyone off and there's nothing they can do. What are you going to do? Start your own distributor? And who is going to give you lumber? The all of three sawmill companies that exist, that are locked into billion dollar contracts, and won't give a fuck as long as the distributor keeps fronting the cash?

Here's an example.

If anyone wants to know - and I can provide literal actual receipts - the cost of an FN-branded M4 carbine is... ready?

$212.

That's literally the dollar figure the government pays for them from FN. And that means FN is pulling a profit on them.

The exact same carbine that doesn't get to a gunshop for civilian sale with a pricetag any lower than 4 figures.

FN makes a gun for $100. Sells it to their middleman distributor like Lipseys for $600. They sell it to a gun shop for $950. Gun shop sells it to you for $1050.

Somehow $900 of 'value' magically appeared throughout that chain for a fucking piece of steel and aluminum that costs FN nothing to build.

Thanks guys. Today I learned that if you take a CMYK image and remove the Y, that just leaves you with CM and K, which on a yellow image, means everything is going to turn blue.

Also, I learned that if you put an image into Photoshop, edit it however you want, you can make any claim and people will believe it's true, even though you could've done anything you wanted with that image, and people should take it on faith that you didn't fuck with it.

Look! I removed the fake 'orange/yellow' filter the Soviets put on the Venera probe photos from Venus! It was clearly just photos taken in some desert on a cloudy sunset day!

I TOTALLY DIDN'T OBSESSIVELY MANIPULATE ALL THE CURVES IN PHOTOSHOP IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE EFFECT I WANTED, NOPE, THIS IS 100% LEGIT, BECAUSE AS EVERYONE KNOWS, YOU CAN JUST "REMOVE" COLOR SHADING AND MAGICALLY EVERYTHING IN THE BACKGROUND WILL TOTALLY BECOME THE NATURAL TRUE COLOR.

BECAUSE THAT'S TOTALLY HOW PHOTOGRAPHY WORKS, GUYS.
