I'd heard Close Up would have an interview with 911 tinfoil hatter Richard Gage.
Good, I thought. Let's see the man sweat under some tough questioning.
Tough? It was Mike Hosking. Gage got lucky. Hosking asked some patsy questions, and did not appear to display an ounce of incredulity towards anything Gage said.
A conspiracy theorist was pedalling unscientific nonsense on national TV, and nobody thought to ask a tough question.
How depressing.

ReplyDeleteI see you're new to this whole "Television" thing then...
Hi Scott,
ReplyDeleteYou write Richard Gage off as "a conspiracy theorist pedalling unscientific nonsense..." I tend to agree with you in part, as I don't think Richard Gage has the explanation correct. However, I would be interested to hear your scientific explanation for the "collapse" of World Trade Center Building 7. How and why did a 47 storey building collapsed into its own footprint at near free fall speed on the afternoon of 9/11?
What I find depressing is that people are so quick to call other people tinfoil hatters when they either too lazy to inquire, or too indoctrinated by the mainstream media to consider any alternative explanations. When one takes the time to investigate the events of 9/11, it is clear that the real tinfoil hatters are those that believe the "official" account beamed directly to their antennae by the mainstream media.
Scott, you may want to start your inquiry by taking in some of the work of James Corbett. He does well to document the absurd official account in this 5 minute clip:

He has an excellent website with several podcasts on 9/11 if you are interested in finding out what really happened, and what is happening as a result.

Your tinfoil hatter Richard Gage is on the right track - the buildings were brought down by some sort of "controlled demolition," but not the way Gage proposes. A more scientific inquiry into the events of 9/11, and more plausible explanations, can be found in Dr. Judy Wood's work entitled: Where Did The Towers Go?
A thought to close: Perhaps being a tinfoil hatter is not such a bad thing, at least he does not bury his head in the sand, or in other dark places.
Truth. Justice. Peace.
