Hi all! I hate to revive a long dead thread, especially as a lurker, so let me just link to it: the United 93 thread, which I just finished reading. I've been reading through a lot of the older threads here recently, since discovering this site a few months ago. I seem to have stumbled onto the very pinnacle of ludicrousness here though. The idea that people on the plane called 911 to say it was hijacked, that that very plane was seen by dozens of people veering wildly before taking a sharp nose dive behind a treeline, followed by loud crash and fireball, does NOT lead to the conclusion that it was hijacked and crashed? Rather it was all staged by people who got the passengers to call home from the plane and lie about the hijacking for some reason, that the plane did not crash into a fireball behind the treeline but miraculously flew away without ever being see by anyone, that the passengers were then all killed and the bodies burned to look like they had been in an explosion, a hole was quickly dug and filled with explosives and the body parts and plane parts and then detonated, all in the time it would take a plane to travel the vertical distance of the height of a line of trees? What? Or that it was shot down by an invisible government jet with invisible missles and invisible explosions for invisible reasons and the passengers on the plane were perhaps just hallucinating the hijackers or maybe phone pranking their loved ones like some kind of lousy radio morning show? Am I the only person who thinks that the fine thread that connected these CTers to reality has finally broken? I think someone's X-files marathon has gone on a bit too long, how much more credit can you possibly give our government (or any government for that matter)? They can't get my sex right on my passport but they can orchestrate this?
Consider this. You and your wife want to have kids. You have been trying for them. Your wife tells you she's pregnant and you see the positive pregancy test. She develops a belly. You feel the baby kick and see ultrasounds of it. You see her water break after 9 months and drive her to the hospital. She is about to push the baby out when you have to leave the room briefly. Five minutes later, the nurse comes out with a screaming newborn that has your eyes and your wife's nose. Your wife is now no longer pregnant. There is a video of the birth. What is the most likely conclusion? Well, for you or I, it would be that your wife had given birth to your child. A CTer, following the same logic as with the United Shanksville crash, would conclude that, because you had not seen the baby being born with your own two eyes (the video could've been faked, after all), the most likely scenario is that the baby was born, then killed, then cloned in a lab and grown to the size of a newborn, all in the five minutes before you saw it, and despite the fact that it would be unbelievably more complicated for no reason at all. Either that or your wife never was pregnant to begin with and the government paid her, the OBGYN, and all other medical personnel off to fake it for some reason. And implanted some kind of pregnacy-faking device in your wife's belly, for the kicking. And then somehow cloned a baby to look like you and her. For some reason.
This also solves the mystery of why there was blood on the cutting board and a cut on my finger yesterday evening. Obviously, government ninjas infiltrated my house, knocked me out, sprinkled some of my blood on the cutting board (which they had been saving ever since I last gave blood about 10 years ago), cut my finger with some kind of psychic surgery, stood me back in front of the cutting board with a kitchen knife in my hand and erased my memory. It's so obvious! They just wanted me to think my knife had slipped and I'd cut myself, but now the truth has come to light!
I have to say, I want to tear my hair out reading some of these theories. And I really admire those of you who can keep a level head (though I'm sure not always a straight face) when answering them. Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Sabine
