Skeptic Michael Shermer says 9-11 could be an inside job!

[lormendi]

LOL @ the uploader. Nice quote mining.

[gaudioinventionis89]

He only said "it could have been an inside job" b/c, like any rational person, he follows the evidence and keeps a skeptical mind concerning complex world events. Whereas lesser men latch onto the first pattern that excites them or conforms to their worldview (no one understands Occam) reasonable people strive for objectivity, acknowledging weaknesses and strengths in an argument and then making an informed induction, always comfortable w/ the idea that new evidence could disprove old theories.

[evasassy]

read Susan Lindauers book! she was a former asset, and gives a lot of extra info on 9 11.

[maplespak]

Shermer says things like "those guys couldn't have done that, they're bungling idiots"! Yeah, that's REAL PROOF AND EVIDENCE for IDIOTS! Does he EVER specifically address Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth dot org?

[biskalero]

Please anyone who believes the official conspiracy theory and that is what it is a conspiracy theory. Please take a week out of your lifes and watch every fuckin video of the two towers being demolished.....a week and look at the buildings....for fuck sake is their any functioning brains out there ?

[BigCheese77]

It takes a special kind of self-delusion to see that video as Shermer agreeing with the 9/11 "Truthers"

[partsofone]

So, skeptics, anything to say about the World Bank (oh, it just might have to do with 9/11 in some small way) and IMF? Well, I think insider Joseph Stiglitz did. Search 'World bank creating poverty', it's....pretty worth seeing, and only a few minutes. Might want to look up journalist John Pilger, specifically his films 'New Rulers of the World' and 'War On Democracy'.

[sidfuckcheese4]

@partsofone "beliefs come first, supporting evidence follows"-shermer-

Wold bank creating poverty,

Do you know anything about economics? the market system? how it works?



[ronwandell]

This was much cleaner and fairer than that yelling Professor in Canada that would not shut up after his question was answered.

[rdicko86]

for a guy who writes books on human intelligence and how our brains behave that answer was lame as... If he understands human behaviour he would know that the compartmentalised nature of government means that all you would need is 20, 30 people involved carrying out the plan knowingly. So much information has come out about 9/11 from people who were involved, Firefighters, Police, government.... science is so subjective these days... tsk tsk...

[spudpeel]

@rdicko86 what does human behaviour have to do with compartmentalisation of governments?

[sidfuckcheese4]

@spudpeel the government is run by humans

[sidfuckcheese4]

@rdicko86 science is subjective? this 9/11 conspiracy bullshit is subjective.

[SippinonMickeys]

@rdicko86 Just like the moon landing right? Only 400,000 people involved in that one. Please.

[ChristianPhysicist]

@SippinonMickeys But it's true, we can be wrong.

Maybe there was a 9/11 inside job, and maybe the scientific societies are lying to us.

Maybe all the space agencies are lying to us as well, and maybe the earth is flat.

Just like the flat earth society claims.

[SippinonMickeys]

@ChristianPhysicist Wow your name is an oxymoron. But...

The whole jist of the argument or debate is that ANYTHING is possible... you just have to prove it. The onus is on you to prove it, not for someone to disprove it. You can't prove a negative. Scientific method, not the way a conspiracy theorist, theist, or goofball does. But with facts, evidence, statistics, objectivity, etc...

[ChristianPhysicist]

@SippinonMickeys My name is an oxymoron?? LOL

You have no idea who started the Big Bang theory, do you??

It's also possible that the earth is flat, and maybe NASA has been lying to us

[lormendi]

@ChristianPhysicist And neither do you.

[theBartone9119]

He said it could be..........anything could be true.......that was the point.......typical twoofer context twisting!

[spudpeel]

I think 9/11 truth movements generally want to know the truth about the horrid event of 9/11, but they go about it in totally the wrong way. The mere fact that they call the inside job theory 'truth' should set alarm bells ringing. There is no real evidence that anything has happened. Yeah, you may feel it happened to be an inside job but you still have to be honest and admit you have no evidence. I used to buy the thermite thing, but thats been completely debunked.

[rdicko86]

@spudpeel how has the thermite theory been debunked?

[Wittgensteinism]

Wow the uploader titled this video wrong.

I should've read, "Michael Shermer PWNs yet another 9/11 truther troll"

[WINGTV9]

The best book about the disintegration of the twin towers is WHERE DID THE TOWERS GO? by Dr. Judy Wood.

[Zentz29]

Fucking truthers.

Yes, he's saying he could be wrong. It's called being honest. Do you admit that YOU could be wrong?

[geezzerboy]

How many people on Wall St never blew the whistle on the illegal finincial acts they knew about or had participated in? 100's, 1,000s? If the conspiracy is part of the job, people don't talk.

[urcritic]

Excellent response by Michael Shermer to a ridiculous question. I don't know about the title of this video though... I'll give the uploader the benefit of the doubt and assume he/she was just trying to get "truthers" to watch it so it could help them snap out of their illusion.

[MarkB1ngham]

Do intelligent thinking people really believe governments never pull large covert operations? That they are impossible as ..."nobody can keep a secret"???

[DjBall]

Shermer,

Who said anything about bureaucrats pulling 911 ?

Thats the same fucking bullshit excuse Cheney believers use, "somebody would have confessed by now on Larry King "

Oh really Schermer ?

"Hey Larry i helped kill thousands of Americans and am part of the reason why our troops are dying every day in Iraq, i got a book coming out, buy it"

This is Schermers defense of the Government Conspiracy Theory ?

That was a MOSSAD job , the only question left is who were the players that ordered it.

[RavenPrecept]

He quotes a load of inside jobs as evidence that 9/11 was not an inside job.

[AceofDlamonds]

Michael Shermer actually reported his encounter with a truther. The truther said the same old "government is distrustful". And the whole time Shermer is saying "So? what does that mean". He quit because he said he knew the guy was gonna use the "you can't explain this so it's affirmed"

bullshit on him.

As a skeptic, he and his organization rail against truthers, like all freethinkers should.

[mrtruthify]

@AceofDlamonds

Number one.. "skepticism" is NOT and never was a valid scientific tool.. nor should "skepticism" be confused with real science and CRITICAL THINKING; lest humanity ever make another great discovery from stepping away from the average minds opinions of the world, it's events and reality itself. Heaven forbid those darn truth seekers.

Number two.. "As a skeptic, he and his organization rail against truthers, like all freethinkers should."

Ever hear the word OXYMORON?

[AceofDlamonds]

@mrtruthify

LOL what oxymoron.

As a Skeptic, you are going with science...fringe theories are those contrary to the official or traditional reports based on scientific and investigative reasoning. You make the claim that something is incorrect, it's your job to approach it in a scientific manner--making viable experiments, extensive and multiple peer review, drawing valid conclusions.

[vysehrad]

Upvoted for including Shermer's lucid response, despite the misleading description written by the poster of the video.

[AroundSun]

There are many more reasons he could have stated why it wasn't inside. Why wouldn't Bush just have made things easier and blamed Iraq for 9/11? He could have went into Iraq in 2001. The amount of people that would have had to be involved including non government personnel, almost every media organization. How about zero evidence? Every Bush hating liberal magazine and newspaper would have been on that, every anti-american media organization worldwide is scared of the federal government?

[sonofthedestroyer]

Michael Shermer exposed as a fake professor.

[subhashkamboj]

Repeating D4R3W:

His view has always been that it is highly unlikely that 9/11 was a conspiracy. That has always implied the possibility, it is just not likely. Darn you conspiracy theorists! Always twisting things around. YOU F***ING MORONS>>>>

[rstanleyfortruth]

The official story of the 911 attacks is complete nonsense.Where were the black boxes from the aircraft?If they were destroyed,as claimed,then how does a paper passport survive?

[zenmasterb]

Mr. Shermer, that's your argument? That no one can keep their yaps shut?

There is an entire industry built around secrecy. Members are CIA, DIA, Mossad, MI6, and contractors like Blackwater, or whatever they are called now. Compared to the number of real secrets, the numbers that get leaked are miniscule. These 9/11 scum are NOT bureaucrats. They are professionals.

You are completely suspect. Skeptic, indeed.

[mrtruthify]

Yeah well.. here we are in 2011.. the 9-11 commisions OWN panel members have foresaken their own testimony, calling it a "whitewash" scheme. Meanwhile.. NANO THERMITE HAS BEEN DISCOVERED & WRITTEN ABOUT IN PEER REVIEWED JOURNALS.. BOTH EXPLODED & *UNEXPLODED. Back in Israel.. after arresting some 300 Israeli Masaad agents on and around 9-11, several men can be seen on Israeli TV admitting they were sent to NYC to document the event. Insider trading all over the place. 9-11 for reality deniers?

[TheMathGuy]

(Damn you, YouTube! There was no "error" posting my comment. It posted just fine and now it's double-posted.)

[TheMathGuy]

Yes, and monkeys could also randomly fly out of my ass. Not likely given what I understand of the universe, but theoretically possible, yes.

[TheMathGuy]

Yes, and monkeys could also randomly fly out of my ass. Not likely given what I understand of the universe, but theoretically possible, yes.

[SOAS007]

To say that Shermer admits 9/11 could have been an inside job on this video is completely misleading.

He says although its not impossible its extremely unlikely and gives 2 reasons it wasn't. It would have had to be planned with too many leak holes.

[Allanlegacy43]

This guy is an absolute ignorant sheep, anyone with a brain and an ability todo some research will come to the conclusion that the world and exspecially the US is not what it seems. Ahhh why bother, why bother with these idiots, its like convincing Germans in the early30's that Hitler was evil and is going to destroy Germany.These people don't want the truth, its better to live inside in a warm lie than liveoutside in the cold truth. He reminds me of people in cults, they just wont believe truth

[bigge525]

Am I the only one that didn't hear one thing even remotely close to a factual rebuttal of shermer's articles coming from mr. PHD? No, I didn't think so. Oh, that's right, he "didn't want to go into that right now" 99.5% of the time when people say that, it is because they have no factual rebuttal of the information offered.

[trakkaton]

1. Michael Shermer is no skeptic.

2. He doesn't know a thing about the acts of terror he talks about. Take the 7/7 attacks and the parallel twin drills. The Heathrow Scare. Madrid and how the police informers were involved.

3. He doesn't understand that conspiracies aren't even hidden, and therefore do not get revelead. He mistakes controlled scandalizing by the MSM with revealing of a conspiracy. But you'd never see Gladio and Artichoke on prime time, even through they are not disputed.

[StargateMunky]

Two leading self professed experts coming to different conclusions.

Argument from authority.

The 'questioner's' argument is no different from the atheism one. i.e "you're just a skeptic about the non-non-belief in god' etc.

[D4R3W]

His view has always been that it is highly unlikely that 9/11 was a conspiracy. That has always implied the possibility, it is just not likely. Darn you conspiracy theorists! Always twisting things around.

[STFUNOWlol]

Get 'em, Michael!

[colossus999]

I'm sorry, but how is your take home message from that response that Michael Shermer thinks it might be? When a skeptic says might, it's usually not when they're leaning toward a positive claim. Shermer would also say that there might be a God, or there might be a Flying Spaghetti Monster. That doesn't mean he thinks it's remotely likely. You're distorting his response.

[SOAS007]

@colossus999 exactly , the premis of this video is wrong.!

[Ne0mega]

Listen to him @ 2:25

"they said they are gonna do this because of our f.. middle eastern policies"

Shermer is just another tool that thinks they hate us for our (f)reedoms, he is only toning down his message because he knows that shit doesn't fly with intellectuals.

[StargateMunky]

@Ne0mega damn those intellectuals and their brains.

[EskolainenKarma]

The best thing about being stupid is that you get to pick on the intelligent. Stupid audience, happy audience.

[GonG108]

...and by the way i truly do not believe that the pearl harbor attack was not recognized by the world wide spy stations of the CIA , yes mr shermer pearl harbor and 9/11 where obviously inside jobs

[GonG108]

shermer is just another paid zionist propaganda clown

[brainderailment]

@GonG108 So, what you're saying is that if you were born of Jewish decent you would be a friend of this man's?

[GonG108]

@brainderailment what kind of stuff are you smoking or did you get bit by an animal

[brainderailment]

@GonG108 When and where does he make a claim that he is a zionist?

[dragnet53]

LOL now that evidence is coming out that it could be an inside job he starts to believe the possibility. Richard Gage used his skepticism on that last AE911 meeting. What a hypocrite shermer is. Anything is possible!

[AIMANALI]

wait a minute those are the reasons.......so does he not see anything strange in the collapses themselves etc....this is weird. I do not know the answer BUT there are too many coincidences...toooo many. Always remember in a larger operation not everyone in the team knows. That is how "gangs" work.

[BRtankbuster]

@AIMANALI There was nothing strange in the collapses. Listen to the engineers instead of the Truther idiots.

[AIMANALI]

@BRtankbuster i want to understand this - so the general Skeptic opinion is that there is nothing strange. So what is this Architects for 9/11 movement ? Plus do u have a copy of the Shermer vs Gage debate ? thx

[BRtankbuster]

@AIMANALI What about it? That pathetic little list is signed by a couple of hundred people with any sort of relevant qualifications. And that's out of several hundreds of thousands engineers and architects worldwide.

You find this convincing? You can find that number of dissenters for any kind of event. You can find a couple hundred biologists who think that ID might be true too, or a couple of hundred historians who think the holocaust didn't happen.

This is convincing to you?

[AIMANALI]

@BRtankbuster I never said it was convincing me - lol/ I have just started looking into this and wanted to know. Building 7 just seems strange. There was a time when many said that no one with qualifications is a skeptic & now that you do have qualified people they are being ignored ! I do not think even Shermer is a demolition expert ..i don't know what to make of all this

[BRtankbuster]

@AIMANALI I don't know what you find about Building 7. The building was heavily damaged by the falling debris, and in attention to that fires had been raging inside the building for a long time.

Building 7 is actually a powerful argument AGAINST the truthers. Why would the government demolish building 7 if they clearly weren't going to fly a plane into it? Why would they do it? To give a massive hint to everybody that something fish was going on?

[AIMANALI]

@BRtankbuster why would they - I do not know and anyway that is assuming that just cause there is a conspiracy theory that means the government did it !?

On that note: Well why would government print money , why do governments/ empires fail ? what I mean is lets stick with what looks strange and what does not. You mean that a building coming down due to fire the way Bld 7 came down is not strange at all - due to FIRE ? is that what you are saying ?

[BRtankbuster]

@AIMANALI The government or the Jews or the Reptilians, it doesn't matter. It doesn't make any sense at all to demolish a building that YOU KNOW is not going to be hit by an aircraft.

And no, building 7 did not come down to fire alone. Did you even see the picture showing the massive damage the building had taken by debris? That damage (look for the pictures of the giant hole on the south side), COMBINED with SIX HOURS of fire caused the building to collapse. Educate yourself.

[AIMANALI]

@BRtankbuster listen no need to be hostile, educate yourself / that is what i am trying to do. our government is not squeaky clean and Bush might not be running the show. Massive hole? ...HOLE ! wow I guess that is enough to bring down a massive......the way it did. I have been in the finance field for years and one of my professions was a personal friend of Greenspan....short story - just the Feds make me wonder. Hell i even see Shermer give opinion on Finance/bail out & I know he is no expert

[BRtankbuster]

@AIMANALI Okay, forgive me for the hostility.

I am in civil engineering so you might say this is a bit of an area of expertise for me (though my qualifications are not in architecture specifically). There's some really good information online about all this (911debunked etcetera).

And yes, holes like that in conjunction with other damage from debris AND six hours of uncontrolled flames will bring a building down. Easily.

[AIMANALI]

@BRtankbuster ok

[esayward]

@BRtankbuster at vurtually freefall speed, falling into their own footprint, semetrically and leave traces of unexploded thermite behind? wow, you really are a genious.. btw I am an ex-military explosives expert.. I know a controlled demolition, or in this case a faked implosion when i see one.. take a real close look at building 7 comming down and the interview with the owner of the world trade center telling nus all on public tv he ordered the building to be "pulled" here are the links

[BRtankbuster]

@esayward

The supposed "freefall" speed is a myth, and finding traces of UNEXPLODED thermite is impossible: if they actually used thermite as explosive material, then it would have burned up completely; the thermite compounds actually come from other substances such as paint. Also, controlled demolitions happen from the bottom down, not the top up.

If you had even the faintest clue about this stuff, you'd know all this.

But tell me this, genius: WHY did they blow up WTC 7. Think carefully.

[c6gunner]

@esayward No, dumbass, screwing around with C4 before getting kicked off your basic training course does not make you an "ex-military explosives expert"

[brainderailment]

@esayward: Do you know what "freefall speed" is? Terminal velocity is different for all things that fall on this planet. Unless the object is in a vacuum it will fall at a different rate than another object. Example, 1 ton of feathers vs. 1 ton of Pb.

[IconicFiber]

@esayward Force = Mass*Acceleration ....That is what brought down the building at "virtually freefall speed." Thank god you are ex-military and not current military. A person with a double digit IQ handeling explosives sounds dangerous.

[esayward]

@BRtankbuster

reptilians?

[BRtankbuster]

@esayward Google David Icke and you'll see what I'm talking about.

[360atGOD]

@esayward

Retilians are another term used for cold blooded people. The TV series V is actually created around the concept of them. Wiki V and read the contents, there are people within our society who are affiliated with them and you would not be able to recognize them

[brainderailment]

@esayward Many conspiracists (is that a word lol?) believe that there is a reptile race of lizards who disguise as humans to take over the planet or whatever. I've heard people claim that they've seen G.W.Bush morph into a lizard for a moment.

[coolgreyoneabby]

@sharka69 His point is that the arabs were not trying to hide their real intentions. or responsibility. What they did was not very complicated, but very deadly. Our government would have had to create a wide spread conspiracy to pull this off and hide the evidence. There is a big difference between the two and your argument tries to put both on equal footing. In addition, the ramifications of discovery are not worth the payout. Conspiracy theories are more a study in psychology than science.

[lennhart]

It's a little late, Michael. But ---I would like to know, Michael, did you suffer WHIPLASH when your heard turned around so fast?

[Josh111485]

"Could be an inside job". So what? Unless you have hard/credible evidence to prove 9/11 was an "inside job", the statement "could be an inside job" is really worthless and meaningless.

[lockwoodisafaggot]

Just citing a bunch of guys who have disagreements with the real 9/11 story is not data.

[gd44]

I love how the conspiracy theorists HAVE TO RESORT TO CAPS, then use multiple exclamation points and question marks, and always tell people to WAKE UP, probably because their conspiracy theory is so completely boring to listen to. I love how the audience couldn't even tolerate that pathetic 911 wanker

[biskalero]

@gd44 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.heard it all before.....911 inside job deniers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sidfuckcheese4]

@biskalero Could i get some evidence? you say "zzzzz heard it before" but you have no evidence to support this???? none what so ever? Absolutely zero factual evidence. i dont understand.

[JG1635]

This guy is either a total moron, or a government paid shill. Everything that came out of his mouth was BULLSHIT. Don't listen to this guy spew disinformation, do your OWN research. I d love to see this clown explain how WTC7 fell. LOL!!

9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

[CosmosLoyal]

@JG1635 If you would love to see him explain how the WTC collapsed you couldn't have looked very far can you? Perhaps it is you who should do your "OWN" research rather than being lead astray by conspiracy theorist cultists.

[JG1635]

@CosmosLoyal : Whatever shill boy. The only ones being "lead astray" are the morons that believe everything CNN & FOX & the rest of the propagandist mainstream media tells them about 9/11. Go back to sleep in front of your TV buddy, dont worry, the world is just as Anderson Cooper tells you it is. 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB. End of story.

[jazzfan5000]

@JG1635 "9/11 was an inside job. End of story." And I guess the moon is made of cheese... end of story, eh??

[JG1635]

@jazzfan5000 : ....it is to those who actually believe WTC7 fell at free fall speed in 6 seconds symmetrically straight down because of fire. But dont worry, 9/11 is just as your gay bun buddy glenn beck & his side kick oreilly tells you, keep believing in all the propaganda, and hey, dont forget to watch american idol this week, and dont forget to tune into dancing with the stars!! Obama rules!!

[jazzfan5000]

@JG1635 I have to say that your side comments are rather amusing yet not really! Ummm, look again at some point... WTC7 did not fall in 6 seconds. Look and figure it out for real how many seconds it took for the building to fall. Then get back to me. Until then, I will take your comment with a grain of salt or just shrug you off as being some idiot little kid who still uses his mom's computer to insult people!

[JG1635]

@jazzfan5000 : LOL!! ...yeah.. OK pal.. whatever.. like I care if you shrug me off, your brains the size of a grain of salt, as I said, go back to sleep in front of your TV ..im not interested in strawman arguments, whether WTC7 fell in 6 seconds or 8 or 10 seconds is besides the point you friggin' idiot. The point is that WTC7 a 47 Floor steel structured building can only fall the way it did, as quickly as it did by CONTROLLED DEMOLITION. End of discussion.

[jazzfan5000]

@JG1635 This is what I think is funny... you Truther idiots think you have some sort of awesome cause that you're standing up for but you don't realize that you really are unreasonable people. If you were to be told tomorrow by some Joe Shmoe from down the street that the moon is made of cheese or the world is flat you would believe him! WTC7 withstood heavy amounts of damage predominantly from the amount of debris that fell from WTC 1 & 2. You really need to start reading and doing research!

[JG1635]

@jazzfan5000 : "moon made of cheese & world is flat" ..blah..blah..blah.. how very original you deFlunkers are.. or should I say you "COINTELPRO SHILLS".. 3000 prople being killed by criminal elements within their own government has nothing to do with an "awesome cause". Ive been reading & researching 911 for over 3 years, what you need to do is open youre eyes, to say WTC7 fell the way it did due to debris that fell on it is utterly ludicrous. LOL!! Whatever, go back to sleep moron.

[jazzfan5000]

@JG1635 Just as I said... you are very unreasonable! You're probably not aware of how many times I have been called a "shill" or I "work for the CIA" or I have some sort of "tie to the government". I have none! I know what I DID have a tie to and that was this whole "Truther" business! Yes, I used to believe in the Truther movement until I figured out how ridiculous you idiots really are! You people, all of you, debate like you're fresh out of Junior High or something!

[JG1635]

@jazzfan5000 : YAAAAAAAWWN.. my friend, youre unreasonably dumb. So everyone reading this is just suppose to take your word that you are who you say you are, because you said so on youtube? Hey,, guess what, i used to be an astronaut for NASA!! i swear, its true!! If we were in a formal setting i would absolutely devour you in a 911 debate, im not about to waste my time debating you via youtube comments.

[jazzfan5000]

@JG1635 Whatever, believe what you want to believe. Even though what you believe is wrong!

[JG1635]

@jazzfan5000 : Thats exactly what you would resort to saying at the end of any real debate we had, after i made you look like a 10 year old that still believes in Santa Claus. What i believe is FACT, what you believe is fantasy fed to you by the propagandist mainstream media. You keep swinging from glenn becks nuts & let anderson cooper be your guide to how the world works. Happy trails SHILL boy! Go back to sleep.

[jazzfan5000]

@JG1635 Tell ya what, why don't we debate in a formal setting if you think you're so full of "FACTS"??

[JG1635]

@jazzfan5000 : seems you dont have a job, seeing you sent a reply to my message within 30 minutes, unlike you i dont have time to sit in front of the computer all day leaving asinine comments on 911 youtube videos, i currently work in asia & im paid very well, why the hell would i take time off from work losing money, pay for travel & hotel expenses, & be away from my family to debate some dumb kid on youtube? LOL! you really live in a fantasy land! im done with you junior, go back to bed.

[jazzfan5000]

@JG1635 I think you got it the other way around. I DO have a job, I don't have time to answer your silly comments yet I do because I find them rather amusing. If you thought you could destroy me in a debate, why did you bring it up then? How old do you really think I am? Take an educated guess now!

[JG1635]

@jazzfan5000 : Yeah.. OK.. sure you do, well, i suppose working part-time at the drive-thru window at McDonalds does qualify as a job. You also claim not to have time to answer my comments yet you have answered every single one, sometimes within minutes. LOL! Youre a clown, i dont care how old you are, however judging from your comments you sound about 12. As for debating you, it was hypothetically speaking, but i doubt you can understand that. Our message exchange here is finished pee-wee.

[jazzfan5000]

@JG1635 It was hypothetical, eh? Didn't come across that way, Charlie! Really, if your debating skills are any bit resemblant of how you're commenting here on Youtube I'm sure your effort to "crush me" would not get too far! Just because you work at McChina doesn't mean that everyone else on the planet does!

[JG1635]

@jazzfan5000 : umm.. yeah.. hypothetical, unless youre actually dumb enough to think i would fly halfway around the world to meet & debate some clown i exchanged comments with on friggin' youtube! Good lord, youre a weirdo & about as smart as a box of rocks. And yes i would easily "crush" you in a real debate. Pee-wee youre obviously not too bright & about as witty as a day old tampon, which makes you excruciatingly boring, im finished spanking you, best of luck with your career at McDonalds.

[jazzfan5000]

@JG1635 Spanking? Was that supposed to hurt? I really don't think you'd "crush" me in a debate considering your debating skills are that of a 12 year old! Anyway, I think I'm done with you too!

[jazzfan5000]

And so I wait to read a comment on this page from any Christian conservative saying such garbage as 'science spits in the face of God'. That is the type of thing that would have been said during the Crusades of the Dark Ages!

[migo53333]

so shermer is saying that there had to be thousands of people involved in 9-11????FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK YOUR GOVERNMENT DOESNT LIE, RESEARCH THE GULF OF TONKIN LIE THAT GOT US INVOLVED IN THE VIET NAM WAR......

[prezmonk]

Shermer isn't an idiot. He's a CIA gatekeeper recruited while a student at Pepperdine University back in the 80's. People like him are crucial to keeping a lid on this potentially explosive story. Notice the reaction from audience members to Dr. Barrett's question. Righteous indignation. In other words, Dr. Barrett asked a question unworthy of an answer. Perfect.

[punxsutawneybarney]

Barrett loves to play "kooky truther" on TV, and he's very good at it. When in Madison he likes to play "loser asshole" by interrupting lectures and delivering long monologues during Q&A periods. He makes the movement look bad.

On his blog he advocates armed insurrection, arson, support for Taliban, and rounding up 500,000 zionists and putting them in concentration camps. He's very bad news for the truth movement.

[jazzfan5000]

@prezmonk Oh, he's a CIA agent now? I heard elsewhere on another forum that he is an undercover secret agent and his Skeptic magazine is a front for some secretly-operated think tank! When are you Truthers going to get your story straight?

[johnbursill]

What an idiot, 7/7, Bali and 9/11 are obvious false flags this guy is an academic...please!

Don't put too much faith in Barrett's research. He can't even spell correctly the names of the Jews that he claims run the media, citing a "Summer Redstone" and "Robert Murdoch". Passing himself off as an expert on the laws of war on 50,000 watt KDKA radio last summer he showed amazing ignorance of the Nuremberg war crimes trials.

See my video "Kevin Barrett Go to Your Room"

He's a clown who does enormous harm to the credibility of the truth movement.

@punxsutawney

so let me get this straight.. your response is a bunch of name calling?

[punxsutawneybarney]

I"Sloppy researcher", "bigot", and "advocate of violence" are not name-calling. They are serious and specific charges of Barrett's misconduct that discredits the truth movement.

Israel--not Muslims--did 9/11 along with Zioncons, Kosher Nostra and a few traitors within the U.S.

Evidence of motive, means, opportunity and complicity of mainstream media in the cover-up is overwhelming in pointing to Israel and a Jewish crime netowrk.

They went way too far and left too many clues. RICO (racketeering) statutes should be brought to bear--seizing their assets and putting these monsters away. Do it soon--to avoid a checkmate on humanity.

@whole2th More like Do it soon to avoid reading stupid idiot rants such as yours on Youtube!

[kevhead66]

Yeah. This jerk went on Glenn Beck's show along with Popular Mechanics' Jim Meigs back in 2007, attempting to debunk 911 Truth. Fuck him.

[fulluvshit]

Schermer,

you state ~1:100k odds against 9/11 being an inside job because not 1 person in the 100k it would take to accomplish it speaks out about it

Compare that to the ~1:trillion odds that 3 WTCs can fall like CDs without CDs

So youre totally ignorant about technical matters but an 'expert' on human motives ... a real hands-on guy

for gods sakes go back to playing with yourself and let grownups talk

[solismuzik]

either he's lying or he's ignorant. plenty of insiders have come out to expose 9/11. check out sibel edmonds, or able danger, among many others.

[gordonculp]

actually, randy glass exposed Saudi Arabia's, Great Britian's and Usa's involvement in weapons trade, from the usa to blow up the world trade center
