GhostTrax,
Thank you for posting that link to that Fox News insert. I live in a country where Fox News is unavailable to me. After watching that clip, I’m convinced that these ‘Scholars for 9/11 Truth’ are loons. |

I would imagine that if they aren't a political PAC they don't pull much weight with the government anyway. |
I hear people referring to "loons" and "conspiracy theories", so let's ask the question:
What is "a theory..."
Definitions vary, but I like this one (as it seems to me to be the most complete):
Theory. A theory is an abstract formulation of the constant relations between entities or, what means the same thing, the necessary regularity in the concatenation (q.v.) and sequence of phenomena and/or events. A theory may be true or false. A valid theory attempts to eliminate all contradictions in the application of cause and effect to a given specific situation or set of conditions. The aim of a theory is always success in action. A characteristic of a true theory is that action based on it succeeds in attaining the expected results.
A theory is implicit in every human action and likewise a theory necessarily precedes the determination of "facts" and the writing of all history as well as the interpretation of every experience.

So, let's convert this definition into everyday language and everyday meaning (to which we can all relate)...
So, as...
"A theory is implicit in every human action and likewise a theory necessarily precedes the determination of "facts" and the writing of all history as well as the interpretation of every experience."
"Theoretically-speaking", say, if I buy a lottery ticket I could win a $1,000,000!
"Theoretically-speaking", that's be good! Right?
Now, the moment I actually buy a lottery ticket, theory no longer serves (even when the possibility is 1/14,000,000).
The fact is that, the "EVIDENCE" of my purchased lottery ticket (confirmed or not) "CONVERTS" theory into "POSSIBILITY"...
Therefore, whenever someone merely "claims" to have won the lottery, we we must "INVESTIGATE" the claim of having won [as it is (a) theoretically possible; and (b) a ticket has been purchased].
Only after an **INVESTIGATION** can we be certain as to the validity of the claim, and thereby determine whether the "EVIDENCE" of the winning ticket is confirmed!
So, please, let us all do our best to use the American language the way it is meant to be used...
1. to communicate toward shared understanding
- rather than to create confusion and obfuscation
(which is nothing less than mind control); and
2. to say what we mean, clearly.
Now, with these distinctions in mind, take a look and a listen to what's being said in these presentations...
Part I:
youtube.com...
Part II:
youtube.com...
Myths explored...
youtube.com...
And don't forget...
... it was a great "conspiracy" that was behind the American revolution... and America's Declaration of Independence...
But if you disagree with any part of these distinctions, say "hello!" to the new America...
