Cole thinks these "devilish details" should be sufficient to bamboozle people into believing in magical silent explosives:


  • the downward motion of the towers
  • the source of the sulfur considered to be the deepest of mysteries
  • the fall of the spires
  • those spheres of iron
  • the free fall of 7
  • the nanothermite
  • "and so much more"

Anyone who has followed the "truth movement" for the last decade or so will be familiar with every item on that list, because every one has been discussed endlessly. If you think any of them is still an open question that leads to a controlled demolition conclusion, then you haven't been paying attention. Cole bravely calls for investigating these details scientifically, but then ignores any such analysis when the actual details and sound logic call into question his preferred conclusion.

We were recently discussing the intellectual dishonesty and cowardice of the "truth movement" -- well, I was, anyway, while you searched for more YouTube videos -- and here you've found another propaganda video that not only illustrates both, but also another "truther" characteristic: hypocrisy.

Make up your mind: Do you want these details investigated scientifically or not? If your answer is yes, then can you explain why you refuse to do so?

Why yes William, yes I do.
You are the one defending the official CT! Pretending to be more credible than professional Physicists, Metallurgists, Engineers, Chemists, Pilots, Demolition experts, etc, etc, etc.
