Greg Palast interview (10th May 2007)

by INN World Report
BBC and Guardian reporter Greg Palast, gives his opinion on the use of controlled explosives being used in the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings on 9/11. [8mins]
Copy the code below to embed this movie into a web page:
Palast refers to occam's razor - the scientific principle that in explaining a thing, no more assumptions should be made than are necessary - very wise.

Palast describes Prof. Steven E Jones as a fruitcake and complete utter fraud who believes that Christ visited America. Jones was also a faithful supporter of George W Bush until recently. With all this garbage about thermate, you could argue that he still supports Bush, and is helping to muddy the waters around the events of 9/11.

What sort of scientist even believes in a god in the first place? Science and religion are incompatible. One relies on logic, observation and evidence, the other on blind faith.

I thank Mr. Palast for his efforts to expose vote fraud, however I see no reason to judge Dr. Jones ability as a scientist because of his personal beliefs. I wouldnt think Brigham Young hired the man for his incompetency. I believe in Jesus also, that does not diminish My abilities to do technical work. I never poo-pooed Palast's work because he was an atheist. I am dissapointed in Mr. Palast for this cheap shot. I recommend the interview of John Shroeder a 9-11 fireman, its on the wearetruth.com site. If more serious reporters like Palast would lose the fear of the tin-foil hat tag we might get to the bottom of why the towers were demolished. Who got the windfall? A trillion dollars is plenty of incentive to demolish anything. I might ad Mr. Palast claims it takes 2 years to lay blast cord and cutter charges. What planet does he come from?

"I wouldnt think Brigham Young hired the man for his incompetency"
- But they fired him for his incompetence (forced retirement)

"I believe in Jesus also, that does not diminish My abilities to do technical work"
- Sure, but I bet you do not believe in evolution - evidence points to one thing, but you'll refuse to accept it. Your belief in god therefore affects your ability to objectively analyse.

"Who got the windfall? A trillion dollars is plenty of incentive to demolish anything"
- A trillion dollars? I think Silverstein got a few billion not trillion. Unless you mean the profits from war in Iraq, in which case the towers coming down was not essential. Just being attacked in such a manner would do it.

The Dossier you really are scraping the barrel of crap reasons to try and block your mind off the CD theory, namely because Pallast mentions God, you mention God and then use your disbelief in God that to equate your zero faith to Jones's very real scientific findings. It really is miserable. Dont believe CD fine, but use some scientiic discourse to put your view.

Try meeting people other than white athiests and you well find that most others believe in Physical science and Spirituality. Try opening the other eye. Like a peacock heavy laden, you have displayed eacock dispaly of occidental arrogance and ignorance, in full bloom.

P.S. as you are so cosy with Indybay they host many of the videos you link to but have your logo embedded in the video capture, perhaps you know why people like Indiamedia have censored Morgan Stack? http://www.911truth.ie/indymedia.html
Perhaps Morgan believes in God also?

by TheDossier
The debate has been extensively gone over on the other indybay pages - you were there commenting yourself. The god reference relates to Jones's paper on Christ visiting the Mayans. You will be hard pressed to find proper scientists who believe in creationsim.

Your comment regarding "white" atheists is puzzling.
by Puller
Your skin colour is a non-issue, as of course you know. You pander to godless whitey cognition, and it shows.

And you read Jones's paper of course, and you didn't deliberately not address my points above highlighting your non-sequitur did you?

Gregg Palest's ability to ignor facts to accept official lies is clearly evidenced in this Video. In Canada and the US we call ignorant views like his, Bull Shit! The same as the official explanation issued by the demolition corps PR firm and the right-wing Hearst Publication editors 'Popular Science' mag. Including the official 911 commision. But then that's expected of the media of a Monarchist failing Imperialist country that sides up with the war mongering genocide for oil and world dominence Capitalist, Christian/Zionist US of Israel.

The WTC 911 demolition was without question an inside job. No need for anyone taking off and guiding the planes into the buildings. It was an International, NY City, Washington DC and Pentagon operation of convenience for a Pearl Harbour incident to go to war. Don't let the Capitalists and their toadies suck you in with their outrageous lies and sinister objectives.

Decide for yourself a good start would be; http://truth911.net/

Irrelevant to Mr. Palast's views on God, "blind faith" I still like the guy. Let me suggest to you sir, prior to being dogmatic about something you do not know, please carry out a query on the subject matter! For you see, the Bible, yes the book called the Bible foretold many many prophecies about this world and all has come to pass. Further the continuation of truths is still unfolding....
So please stick to your fortitude in investigating and exposing your political views about dirty politics....I shall pray for you my friend!

Mr. Palast has my respect for the work he is doing so his remarks here are puzzling. Mr Palast believes the things FBI and CIA agents tell him (Well there are renowned for telling the truth) then he uses his considerable authority to say that anyone considering the controlled demolition theory is putting out disinformation and effectively sabotaging any real chance there maybe of exposing the real truth. Greg Palast carries a lot of weight with many of us and I would like to see an open debate on this theme. I can see what Mr. Palast is saying but WTC 7 alone takes a lot of explaining. I would like to see a LIHOP - MIHOP debate that looks closely at each of the MIHOP pieces of evidence in turn and shows me that they cannot be true. O % as Mr. Palast reports. Character assassinations usually lead me to discount the person committing them. I don't want to discount Mr. Palast.

AE9/11Truth

As Greg Palast admits he is no engineer and unfortunately lacks the high level of physics understanding necessary to see the World Trade Center were destroyed by planted explosives.

Fortunately others are not so ignornant. Some 229 credentialed architects and engineers certify the case for controlled demolition at Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth: AE9/11Truth
by Matthew Rouse
January 2008 and the American election circus is on and the evidence for fraud is all over the net. The BBC and the big media do their best to ignore Ron Paul and there are witness accounts of Diebold machines not reading votes for Paul. Where is Mr. Palast and his BBC when you need them.

This piece of propaganda has not successfully ridiculed or marginalized the demolition theory. It has, however, definitely damaged Greg Palast's reputation, probably irrevocably.

I used to ignore the two sizes too small, joke of a hat that he would insist on wearing whilst following up very serious interviews for the BBC. I used to think it was a sign of individuality. Now it looks more like a prop for a comedy role he is playing just in case anyone takes him seriously.

This turns him into a left wing gate keeper. What a pity.
