If this is in the wrong section, my apologies to the staff.
Hi all. Had some
diffucluty joining but glad to be here. I've been interested in the "alternative" theories concerning 9/11 for about 2 years now but have not until recently done real research on it. A few days ago I got around to watching the documentary 911: Ripple Effect. Could somebody clear up a few things for me?
1)Most believe Flight 175 was switched with a different plane. So what became of the passengers? I can't recall if this was discussed in the documentary, but I do remember hearing some believe that Flight 93 never crashed, so what happened to Todd Beamer and the other passengers there?
The truth is, most do not believe that. There is information that exists that says the real planes were used. There is some information that exists that says otherwise. Although I don't know for certain, I find it best not to speculate on things I can't verify.
2)Did Bin Laden and his people have ANYTHING to do with the attacks or no?
The truth is, I don't know. There is information that exists that suggests, at the very least, he was used as a pawn. There is also information that exists that says in the months prior to 9/11, he was going from mosque to mosque telling people about the upcoming attacks. I just don't know.
3)In Fahrenheit 9/11, it's said many family members of the victims of the attacks don't accept the official 9/11 report. While I don't doubt that, does anybody have any unbiased sources to back up that claim?
To my knowledge, F911 doesn't mention the families at all? I could be mistaken, but I don't remember it. As far as the families go... Bill Doyle, who represents a lot of families, says that about 50% of the families that he represents think as we do. The families were the ones that originally fought for the creation of the 9/11 Commission. They joined together to form the 9/11 Family Steering Committee. If not for them, the 9/11 Commission would never have been. Some people say that might have been a good thing, but what 9/11 Family Member Lorie Van Auken told me is, at least we now know the Government's side of things. The families that fought for the creation of the Commission, as well as others, have been busy as of late. I suggest you read this.
4)Do you have advice on how to show closed minded people the light so to speak? Such as people who are shown documentaries like Ripple Effect and dismiss the whole thing as "actors" or "propaganda"?
With regard to 9/11 Ripple Effect, admittedly, I haven't seen it. I do know, however, that the person that made it also has made some questionable things in the past. If I were given a choice, I would probably not promote that film.
5)Finally, I know very little about what actually happened compared to the more active members here. As I've said, I've just started researching the contradictions from the official 9/11 report. I'll most likely be a lurker for a while since I don't have much of an educated opinion about 9/11. But I'd like to know, what IS the point of anybody protesting in front of the White House for "truth"? What IS the point of trying to get the government to be honest about ANYTHING? Remember, they're the GOVERNMENT, if they don't want to be honest, they don't have to. Are there any members that actually believe that one day they'll admit they had something to do with 9/11, let alone any other cover-up?
