Was 9-11 a conspiracy?! Read this free paper to find out!Posted by Banyue on Friday, September 14, 2007 at 12:58 PM
 Guangzhou Metro Daily September 14, 2007 Today's headline shouts "9-11 was a conspiracy". This bold exposé comes from the Global Times, but the original source is the Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda. According to the subheads: · "The official explaination has many points of contention and has been questioned by many engineers"; The other front-page picture shows a performer with a special talent: he can blow a traditional hulusi flute with his nose while inflating a balloon with his ear. The man will appear at a variety show to be held in Guangzhou this November that will showcase quirky talents. Other headlines, which appear above brief wire reports: · China now has 900 million telephone users; |

+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

I read that story in the Global Times. It was an interesting read, especially the statistic that 3/4 of Americans suspect their government is withholding the truth. I didn't think it would be that high.
sounds sketchy to me. Where did they get their stats from?
Discovery Channel ( a fairly mainstream cable TV channel in the US) has had documentaries about other reasons for the WTC's collapse. The suspicions aren't aroused so much by the twin towers themselves as Bldg #7's collapse despite not being hit and supposed demolition residue being scraped off of load bearing girders. Still, a 757 full of fuel hitting a building at 400-500 mph makes a big impact and a big, hot fire. This will rank up there with the Kennedy assassination for conspiracy theories.
The 3/4 number is probably taken from polls showing that this number of Americans don't trust the gov't overall, hate Bush, hate MNCs and think we were deliberately lied to about Iraq.
The truth is out there and eat the rich.
"This will rank up there with the Kennedy assassination for conspiracy theories."
You are an idiot...this is HOGWASH!!!!!!!!
"The 3/4 number is probably taken from polls showing that this number of Americans don't trust the gov't overall, hate Bush, hate MNCs and think we were deliberately lied to about Iraq."
BUSH rules. There hasn't been a better president since the first Bush and before that Reagan.
China/U.S. relations wouldn't be what they were today if it weren't for the BUSH family...BUSH SR. was integral in NIXON'S historical visit to Beijing to reestablish relations.
IRAQ? Come on now...only a facist socialist would disagree with bringing democracy to that place.
3/4 of Americans? I doubt that!!!!!!!! BUSH IS WELL LOVED
this theory ahs been around since day one almost. Youtube has discovery documentaries showing the explosives being set off at timed intervals. They also have architects and structural engineers giving accounts that the steel structure in the centre of the towers would have withstood the impact of the planes but the placing of explosives would have brought it down. There were also accoutns of whole floors being closed for 'redecoration', and loud noises being made, when checked days after the floors were untouched. - this would have been the placing of explosives within the steel framework. see the documentaries... well worth a look.
