Nutty Napolitano and Goofy Geraldo Raise Eyebrows

CNN, seeing a chance to get a dig in at their fiercest rival, highlights the new new celebrity Troofers:

It's rare that two media watchdogs – one on the left and one on the right – ever agree when it comes to assessing coverage on the cable news outlets.

But both the conservative Newsbusters and liberal Media Matters are aiming fire at Fox News' Geraldo Rivera and Judge Andrew Napolitano for recently suggesting the third building to fall on September 11, 2001 – 7 World Trade Center- may have collapsed for reasons beside the widely held belief that fire from the two World Trade Center towers nearby was the ultimate cause.


Newsbusters:

Both Napolitano and Rivera have, er, raised questions about the "official" (read: commonsensical) explanation for the collapse of the WTC7 building on September 11, 2001. This conspiracy theory has been thoroughly debunked a number of times. Apparently Geraldo and the Judge are not convinced.


Media Matters:
As Media Matters has documented, Napolitano's previous Jones appearances have been marked with conspiracy theories about the government and the "New World Order." For instance, Napolitano and Jones have agreed that Obama will "start a wider global war" to "be a prince," and discussed whether a powerful banking cartel linked to "world government" would "collapse the economy" and use that "as an excuse for martial law." Napolitano also told Jones of Texas secession: "That time has come. That may actually happen" because of the actions of the government.


Newsbusters links our old buddy Alllahpundit from a couple weeks ago on the Gerald conversion:

Why, oh why, oh why would the nefarious neocon junta that’s supposedly responsible for the 9/11 attacks have bothered with Building 7 in the first place? Never mind the huge number of government operatives they would have needed to plant explosives in the various buildings damaged or destroyed that day, or the fact that somehow not a single one of them has leaked anything about the plot more than nine years later despite that information being worth untold millions. Just ask yourself: If they were going to bring down the Towers as a pretext for war in the Middle East, why the hell would they have brought down Building 7 too? The structure’s collapse adds nothing to the already severe trauma of the day, and taking the time and effort to plant explosives would only increase the odds of detection. It would have been a wholly needless risk.


Of course, the real answer to that question is that to conspiracy theorists, nothing just happens. It was always planned to happen. Oh, sure, they've got some nebulous argument about how the SEC's files on Enron were stored in the building and somehow this prevented the government from prosecuting those responsible (which would be news to Jeff Skilling).

The Huffington Post also covered Napolitano's Trooferism:

Fox Business host Andrew Napolitano revealed on Tuesday that he does not believe the government's account of the 9/11 attacks. Napolitano, who hosts "Freedom Watch" on Fox Business and is frequently seen on Fox News as a legal analyst, told radio host Alex Jones — who is a prominent 9/11 conspiracy theorist —that the attacks "couldn't possibly have been done the way the government told us."

The subject came about when Jones noted that Geraldo Rivera had recently raised questions about the collapse of World Trade Center 7 on Napolitano's Fox Business Show. 9/11 conspiracy theorists have centered on that building's collapse, contending that it was blown up by government forces. Jones asked Napolitano what his opinion about the issue was.


That post attracted an astounding 11,347 comments, and revealed that many of the Huffington Posts' moderators (apparently chosen automatically by a computerized set of criteria) are Truthers themselves.

Update: Family members weigh in:
Charles Wolf's wife, Katherine, died in the North Tower on Sept. 11. He calls conspiracies like those Napolitano discussed "ludicrous," and accused him of using the tragedy to seek attention.

"After all the investigations, they are rather ludicrous," he said. "Nine and a half years after, to bring something like this up, what kind of publicity is he looking for for himself? It appears to me to be rather self-serving. He is not worth getting upset about, he is just someone who is looking for publicity."

Rosemary Cain, whose son, firefighter George Cain, died that day, took issue with Napolitano specifically.

"Judge Napolitano? I can't believe that, I really don't believe it," she said when she heard about his comments. "What can they gain by that? I think it is beneath him to come out with a remark like that. He is in a position of respect."

On the note of "leaks", can Brian or V for Vendetta idiot or Dust Boy please let me know why Wikileaks hasn't dumped thousands of documents on the 9/11 conspiracy and its cover-up? Assange seems to like to embarrass the US government, so why isn't he planning on exposing how the WTC was rigged with explosives and how the planes were remote-controlled?

Only in Ian G's logic are simple diplomatic communications the same as a conspiracy.

I think you meant to say "readers" rather than "moderators." In any case, there are a ton of people on the left still suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome and thus are eager to buy into twoofer ideology. Now the wingnut population is growing on the right, Napolitano is in a class by himself and uberlibertarian type.

Still no word from Fox itself on its talking heads going off the deep end?

ROFLMAO@U

Ahhh yes, it wasn't an inside job because Wikileaks hasn't released anything.

Great logic, Ian. Really great logic.

So for you to believe 9/11 was an inside job, Wikileaks has to release information stating it as such.

You stick with Wiki, I'll stick with science and the evidence that has already been released to the public via FOIA, eyewitnesses testimony, physics, visual evidence, audio evidence, etc.

I know this is hard for someone of your intellect to understand, but in order for me to accept that 9/11 was an inside job, I would like to see some evidence for that. If you'd stop wanking in mom's basement to "V for Vendetta", you'd be aware of all the documents related to Iraq and Afghanistan that were released by Wikileaks. Given that those wars are directly or tangentially related to 9/11, you'd think there'd be a passing mention of the conspiracy behind both wars, especially if "truther" narratives are taken at face value.

And yet....nothing.

I'll stick with science and the evidence that has already been released to the public via FOIA, eyewitnesses testimony, physics, visual evidence, audio evidence, etc.

And you'll keep wanking it to "V for Vendetta" too. Nobody cares.

No bombs went off inside the WTC before the first plane hit, so who the fuck cares how many people claim that bombs went off?

Just because a lot of people think something is true doesn't make that thing true.

Just because Justin Bieber was nominated for two Grammys and thousands of teenage girls buy his music doesn't make him Elvis.

How many of those witnesses know the difference between a bomb exploding and something else exploding? Look at how many witnesses have changed their stories once they understood that what they were hearing durring the collapse was the concrete floors slamming together.

Who cares about Wikileaks, why has noy one single person stepped forward to tell his tale about being on the inside of the greatest crime in US History? People leaked documents and talked to reporters about waterboarding, NSA wiretaps,and secret CIA prisons yet none of the 2000 people needed to pull off 9/11 have said a word.

Why?

Ian, I thought for sure you wouldn't result to Ad Hom, but alas, next to the fallacy of omission, that is the other favorite arguement fallacy that debunkers like to use.

Ferrris-How many of those witnesses know the difference between a bomb exploding and something else exploding?

Well Ferris, that is why most intelligent thinking individuals look at the entire examination of evidence to arrive at the bomobs in the basement conclusion. It is NOT just the testimony of survivors, but the physical damage that was caused to the environment in the basement as described in the Port Authority Transcripts that you have never read. One must also examine the damage to human beings as a whole down in the basement, and finally eyewitness descriptions of what they saw, heard, felt, and experienced. And when you examine the body of evidence as a whole, the intelligent thinking individual arrives at the same conclusion the FBI did on that day. There were explosives, bombs if you will, used in the basement of the North Tower. Or as some debunkers, Ron Weick and Mark Roberts like use to say years ago, "those weren't bombs, those were pop cans! MUWAHAHA

Pretty much what Ian said. The V for Vendetta stuff is just as cliched as the constant recycled Matrix references: "How deep does the inside jobby job rabbit hole go?"

I've lost track of how many times troofers have said "Rabbit hole", "Blue pill", etc...

This is the perfect metaphor for the troofers. They get so wrapped up in fiction, they think that if they emulate it, they'll bring about revolution just like in the movies!

They desperately want V for Vendetta to be real, they want to be "The One" and "unplug from the Matrix" and save the world from fictional threats to it.

But hey, troofers have freedom of expression too. They just all express the same thing. So whatever. Masked boy can has his avatar. Its no less ridiculous than mine. Only difference is, he probably really thinks he's as awesome as V.

Now Andrew, cite the RJ Lee Report as concerns the source of the iron-rich and alumino-silicate spheres. A simple cut-and-paste from the RJ Lee Report will suffice.

You can't cite the RJ Lee Report as concerns the source of the iron-rich and alumino-silicate spheres?

How does anybody here know what I have and have not read?

If there had been a bomb detonated in the basement of the WTC then where were the secondary reports on the live news coverage. With the hundreds of reporters swarming the part of NYC that morning why was there not one report? There was more than enough time between the "detonation" and the collapse for varified reports. There were none.

They found no evidence of explosives in the wreckage. The signs that you pathetically point to as being consistant to a bomb also consistant to the physics of a passenger jet slamming into the tower and then the collapse of that tower almost straight down.

The bomb in the basement is a lie. The burden of proof is on you.

M Greg, there were multiple news reports of secondary explosions in the WTC. Chief Ray Downey offered the opinion that WTC2 had been brought down with explosives. Chief Turi reported secondary explosions.

I am not aware that anyone reported explosions before the planes hit other than William Rodriguez, whose blatant lies about his exploits on that day discredit his testimony and everyone who believes him.

No evidence of explosives was found in the wreckage because nobody looked for it.

Maybe focusing your argument on how hot the fires were is not the way to go. Instead, focusing on the part where something heavy, like a building collapsing, might have something to do with the whole condensing thing you just referenced.

John Delendick (Priest) We heard a rumbling noise, and it appeared that that first tower, the south tower, had exploded, the top of it. That's what I saw, what a lot of us saw. We ran down underneath the Financial Center.

'I remember asking Ray Downey was it the jet fuel that blew up. He said at that point he thought there were bombs up there because it was too even. As we've since learned, it was the jet fuel that was dropping down that caused all this. But he said it was too even'.

Deputy Chief Downey is of course not in a position to offer a retrospective judgement on the events of 9/11, due to the fact that he died in the line of duty trying to save people's lives. But I think it is disgusting that low-life troofers seek to twist the words of a genuine hero to prove their points.

No, Brian. Deputy Chief (get his rank right, FFS) Downey's initial assessment on arriving on the scene was that there MIGHT be explosives in the building. He was not - unfortunately - in a position to reassess this first impression, because he then went on to do what no troofer would ever do - namely, sacrifice his life in a bid to save others.

Newton's laws were not repealed when Newton died, and you have no idea what gives my life meaning.

Chief Downey's opinion is not irrelevant, nor has it been shown to have been wrong. Nobody has dealt credibly with the fact that the collapse was too even to be natural.

Ah, Brian, this is why you're so entertaining. You dig your heels in on everything, no matter how ridiculous.

Chief Downey is dead, Brian. He died before he had any opportunity to examine the evidence. Thus, his initial impression is meaningless.

Why don't you name another member of the FDNY (and one who is still alive) who believes there were bombs in the towers?

Chief Downey's opinion is not irrelevant, nor has it been shown to have been wrong.

Um, Brian? It has been shown to be wrong because, uh, there is no evidence that bombs were placed in the towers.

You don't even believe bombs were in the towers, Brian. Otherwise, you wouldn't babble about thermite all the time.

Nobody has dealt credibly with the fact that the collapse was too even to be natural.

Nobody cares, Brian.

Yes, you prefer the quiet anonymity of posting your gibberish all over the internet and telling people at DU that you "have reason to believe that one of these days you're going to see some diagrams from more authoritative sources that look something like these." and then posting your "meatball on a fork" and "rake on rake" gibberish.

Brian, it's obvious that even in your delusional mind, your life has been a failure so far. 9/11 "truth" is your last chance to become someone important, which is why you cling so desperately to it. That's also why I find you so hilarious.

Chief Downey's opinion was that the collapse was "too even" to be natural so there must have been explosives. No credible evidence has been produced to refute this point. Chief Downey was one of the foremost collapse experts in the world, and so is unlikely to have been fooled by Dr. Bazant's piledriver fantasies.

John Schroeder believes there were bombs in the towers. Chief Albert Turi spoke of secondary devices. 118 first responders spoke in their oral history interviews of sounds and sights of explosions. Read the testimony of Carlson, Cruthers, Murray, Banaciski, Cacchia, Gregory, Reynolds, Rogers, Burke, and Deshore.

Ian, your "nobody cares" argument wears thin when almost 1400 architects and engineers care very much, and you can not name a single independent engineer who has overtly endorsed the NIST report.

Petgoat's "meatball on a fork" model and his "rake on rake" model may be gibberish to a graphically illiterate person like yourself or to someone like yourself whose abstact reasoning skill are so inadequate, but they are quite apt representations of certain principles applicable to the study of the demise of the twin towers. I bet you can't even name what those principles are.

You are only arguing from ridicule, Ian. If you were a truther you would be giggling about giant zippers in the twin tower exposing the rigid structural core, you would be giggling about the impracticality of airlifting in giant piledrivers to pound the towers into dust, and you would embarrass the cause of the truthers as much as you embarrass the cause of 9/11 complacency here.

Why would I want to be someone important, Ian? What makes you think I want that?

Let's see, the speculation of a dead man is taken as ironclad proof, the fact that said speculation hasn't specifically been refuted is just more ironclad proof, and then some more idle speculation about the original speculation.

This is Brian Good's method in a nutshell: just pile speculation on top of speculation while treating each layer of speculation as proof.

And again, Brian, sights and sounds of explosions in a huge, uncontrolled fire are exactly what one should expect. It boggles my mind that you're stupid enough to think explosions constitute some sort of evidence of CD.

Ian, your "nobody cares" argument wears thin when almost 1400 architects and engineers care very much, and you can not name a single independent engineer who has overtly endorsed the NIST report.

Petgoat's "meatball on a fork" model and his "rake on rake" model may be gibberish to a everyone with a grasp of reality, but they make me feel smart since I'm a delusional liar who thinks people believe me when I deny being petgoat.

Chief Downey's perception that the collapse was unnaturally even was not a speculation but an observation; his suggestion that bombs had been planted was a not a speculation but a hypothesis.

Explosions, when coupled with symmetry, totality, speed, pulverization, molten metal, and incredible and dishonest investigations can be regarded as evidence of CD.

Much progress. The truth movement has largely escaped being associated with the lunatic no-planers, mini-nukers, jews-did-it, and con artist crowd.

Respectable people like Jimmy Carter, Robert Fisk, Amy Goodman, Kevin Bracken, and Daniel Ellsberg have indicated that they support those who call for new investigations.
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth will soon be 1500 strong.

Authors of the 9/11 Commission report have spoken out about the shortcomings of that investigation.

NIST acknowledged 2.5 seconds of freefall in the WTC7 collapse, and abandoned the structural damage and diesel fuel hypotheses for the WTC7 collapse, leaving it with a ridiculous explanation for the collapse. NIST removed the claim that its analysis was "consistent with physical principles" from its report.

The "Building What?" campaign has exposed hundreds of thousands to the unbelievable collapse of WTC7.

There has not been a poll of citizens' 9/11 attitudes for several years--probably because the news media don't want to know how out of touch with the public they are. In my experience 9/11 truth is a one-way door. Once people have developed doubts, they almost never go back to the official story. So our numbers are surely greater than they were back in 2007 when 84% expressed doubts about the official story.

You guys are really a lunatic fringe--and your faulty logic and outright lies prove it.

And why did that 84% vote for Obama or McCain (or Barr or Nader or Baldwin) instead of McKinney when 9/11 truth was such an important issue? How come neither candidate ran as the candidate who promised an investigation into Steven Jones' claims?

The candidates don't bring it up because they are afraid. Look what happened to Tom Daschle, Mark Dayton, Cynthia McKinney, and Howard Dean.

Not to mention Paul Wellstone, of course.

Ah yes, one lunatic conspiracy theory deserves another. Brian, are you going to do like the Mormons do and retroactively declare dead people to be truthers? You already did it with Ray Downey, why not with Wellstone too?

Hell, claim that Thomas Jefferson, FDR and John Brown were truthers as well. It would be no more insane than any of your other beliefs.

Ian, you're not qualified to state my beliefs.

False.

You are qualified? So then you're mis-stating them deliberately?

I'm not misstating your beliefs, petgoat. I've accurately described them, and since everyone knows you are an obsessed liar, everyone knows your denials are lies.

I win.

You win inside the safe confines of your pointy little head. And you do so at great cost to the credibility of this site.

Stop squealing, petgoat. I win.

You win what? A heap of your own bullshit? You prop up for one more day your precious illusions?

What does anyone win by slathering lies on truth?

I win, petgoat. I win. Please stop squealing so hysterically.
