You ever hear of coincidence? There is not one shred of hard evidence Silverstein had prior knowledge of the attacks, all you have is him upgrading his insurance, which he might have done for all kinds of other plausible reasons or no reason at all. Do you know if he upgraded the insurance on his other real estate holdings as well? Do you know if there even was such insurance available until that time? Do you know if there had been an upsurge in phone and/or mail threats to his companies before the upgrade? Do you know if perhaps terrorism coverage came at no extra cost when he renegotiated his insurance? Do you know anything at all, ANYTHING? I'm guessing not, because apparently you think watching a bunch of videos put out by marginalized losers is "research".

Have you answered the question as to why this war on terror couldn't have been justified by just smashing the planes into the buildings even if it didn't completely destroy them? No, of course not, because there is no credible answer. If the towers hadn't imploded after being struck, they would have been torn down in the end anyway as it's not like you could ever fix the damage, so what is the POINT of this supposed demolition? Do you think the secret masters of the world are stupid, and like to overly complicate things that work much better when kept simple?

Do you know how frighteningly similar the Patriot Act is to Hitlers "Enabling Act" passed in 1933? Google it. Hitler passed that act right after an insdie job over there burned down Germany's government buildings.

You know what's wierd though, is that last I checked, Bush didn't seize power and proclaim himself Fuhrer. I have to admit, much as I dislike him, I can't pin that one on him.
I have nothing but disdain for the Patriot Act and the other "security" measures taken by the USA and other western governments, but that doesn't mean that its all happening because of the secret agenda of some nebulous conspiracy. The only conspiracy in 9/11 was the one al-Quaeda perpetrated. What happened afterwards was a natural (and regrettable) consequence of the pain and fear caused by that action. Thinking otherwise isn't being "open" or "free-thinking", unless by "open" you mean "unable to pick out good ideas from bad" and by "free-thinking" you mean "the less people that agree with me, the more likely I am to be right".
