Noam Chomsky claims that science dismisses theories of controlled demolition of the WTC 1,2 & 7.

100 acres of 4 inch thick concrete turned to powder in 10 seconds!
And again 100 acres of 4 inch thick concrete turned to powder in 10 seconds!

Twice in an hours time.

The world was not watching buildings just collapse.
The world was watching a very controlled demolition of those buildings.

The physical laws conservation of momentum was not in effect that day? Who broke that law?

It is time for Mr. Chomsky to retire; he certainly is not keeping an open mind to the obvious clues to such an horrendous crime. He certainly exhibits a strong denial in order to defend the Cheney Bush Crime Syndicate.

I wish Mr. Chomsky, who I admire greatly, could explain why building 7 fell--not just why it fell (yeah yeah fire, damage) but why it fell straight down, onto its footprint. Why is this evidence so weak? It'd be great if the US gov actually investigated it. If you're looking at the evidence clearly, without the predjudice of "that secret could never have been kept," then it seems to me you gotta conclude it was an inside job. It certainly does matter, but not as much as what the neo-cons are gonna do next, so whatever.

Despite what he says, Chomsky seems to be completely uniformed concerning "conspiracy theories" on 9/11 by the "Left."

Unless 9/11 was committed by one person acting alone, it was a conspiracy. Pick the conspiracy you most believe. Some of what the government is telling us may be true. Much of it seems not to be. The only way to put this to rest would be to have a full, honest investigation. That's not likely.

Unknown to Chomsky, despite all his apparent emails from the left, many of the people disputing the official facts on 9/11 are scientists and pretty right-leaning.

In the end Chomsky says it doesn't matter who was behind killing J.F.K. — it could have been a jealous husband. And he doesn't think it matters who was behind 9/11.

I guess that means Chomsky is nilhist, because if those things don't matter, then nothing does. Open all the jails. No crime should be investigated or punished.

I really got the feeling Chomsky loves talking, never wants to stop, even when he doesn't know what he's talking about and has nothing to say.

Many government insiders have come forward and proclaimed it was an inside job. You can find them and hundreds of other ex military, FBI and CIA officers, gov office holders, architects and engineers, airline pilots, university professors and journalists--go to

These voices are silenced by our traitorus media outside the internet. It took a lot of courage to speak out in public on this issue. I am sure many are suffering professionally because
they did. Chomsky obviously does not want to suffer for his country.

While it may seem a bit harsh, who does care? After close to a million killed in retribution for an attack that killed a couple thousand people, why are so many (like those who have commented previously) so distracted, so obsessed, so convinced that they know the secrets about something they cannot change?

Even if it were true that the government killed over 2000 of its own citizens... even if our intelligence agencies killed a president.... IT DOESN'T MATTER?

Wow... I never had all that much love for Chomsky to begin with... but that right there just blows all respect I might ever have had for the man.

A Jealous husband theory? Nice.
The mafia? Yeah... its not like they EVER had anything to do with the CIA, Noam. Its not like Hoover said there was no organized crime in the US and hung out with the mafia when they were doing their gambling and whoring in Hot Springs, Ar. And its CERTAINLY not like Hoover ever had a grudge against the Kennedy family. After all.. its not like Hoover was the one who caught JFK on tape fooling around with a woman who was also a Russian opperative... which is what got him onto PT109. The evidence is overwhelming? No, Noam.. its not.

Look, maybe both were utterly explainable.. either way, Noam is still wholly wrong for thinking it doesn't matter. He even contradicts himself. If it didn't matter they wouldn't end up in front of firing squads if found out!

I asked Chomsky in person why he was so skeptical, here's the gist of his response:

The 9/11 truth movement is a distraction from the "real" crimes taking place. There aren't any scientists (except Steven Jones whom I pointed out at the time 2 years ago, now there are many more) who agree with the truthers. Building 7? He would "have to study civil [sic] engineering for two years to understand how and why it fell." You can't just go by what you read on the internet, he told me.

All very disimissive and condescending, and utterly wrong about everything. His legacy is now pretty well tapped-out--from champion of the left anti-imperialist crowd to its worst enemy. Chomsky's reluctance to accept the truth about 9/11 is key to understanding who the real perpetrators were. In other words, it is instructive to understand whom Chomsky is protecting and why. Prepare for some shocks along the way!

who to believe? it's easiest, in the america that exists today, to believe the worst, expect deception. we've been given nothing that would afford believing better of anyone anymore. that is the end result, regardless of the cause.

Chomsky is the best and brightest of the left. Not believing that our government did 9/11 does not change that. I don't believe it either and wish people would focus on what we know they didn't do and what we know they did do. They did nothing after receiving many warnings and lied about that. They DID lie us into a war that has killed thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. While I believe that a government that would lie to start a war is capable of anything and would kill as many as needed to justify that war, I don't think they HAD to do 9/11, just allow it to happen. Which is what they did.

Why so obtuse? If you don't know enough about Civil Engineering to make a valid Analysis of why Building 7 and the Twin Towers collapsed in free fall just like a thermite planned destruction would do, then just don't act like if you had that education you would 'explain it to us all'.
After being impressed with his excellent book "Hegemony or Survival", the stubbornness against the 9-11 Truthers exhibited by Chomsky and Bill Maher doesn't make sense, unless the Zionist Overlords/ Bankers/ Military Industrial Elite Fascist Masters have them on a short leash, too.

I challenge you to put this video, or a transcript, as a lead story on Alternet.

No matter how much you cover your ears and ignore the obvious, change or ignore the subject, too many of us know for a fact, that 9/11 did not happen the way the official conspiracy theory of the Zelikow commission would have us believe.

Nobody could keep a secret? Is that so, Noam? Like the Manhattan project, right Noam? Nobody working on the Manhattan project could have kept a secret, right Noam?

Oh, and those on the left are making money off their books and video materials, Noam? I guess they should just give their work away, like you, right? Making money impugns their credibility, right? Given that assessment, Noam Chomsky’s credibility is shot to hell.

Those who have voiced objection to the official conspiracy theory --as defended by Alternet, including you Joshua Holland, and expressed their objections in print or video, haven't made the tiniest fraction that weapons manufacturers, or the MSM have in generating, promoting and defending the official 9/11 conspiracy lie. But the profits of Goliath are legitimate. Not so for David. Right Noam?

When it comes to an understanding of the causes of 9/11, Chomsky is full of it. He's way out of his depth. His defense of the Bush administration, or elements within the United States government infrastructure against charges of possible complicity in 9/11 is without merit, and revolting.

Chomsky is a collaborator, a Trojan Horse, and moral coward. and he knows it, poor man. He and other defenders of the state, protest just a bit too much. You ignore too much. There is no element of the official 9/11 myth you question. You admit no chink in the armor. You know that by giving a quarter, the house of cards will tumble down and you'll be swinging like the contractors in Fallujah. Willful blindness. Interesting.

Keep toeing the party line, Joshua, and your job is secure. You will enjoy your retirement and your grandchildren in a bucolic setting. Step out of line though, and you are history. There will be no atonement. Got it?

It's a cold and vicious world out there. And you know it. So does Chomsky.
