Ron Paul - don't believe 911 "Truthers"- cease your rhetoric
Uploaded by: MyPalAndy
Video Description:
Yes, Ron Paul agreed that there should be more investigation of the events surrounding the attacks on 9/11/2001. This has been spread widely by the 911-"Truth" movement.
But you may not be aware of this up-front question asked by Fox News' Carl Cameron as well as Dr. Paul's response which should put this topic to rest. Although I wondered at the time why Cameron would ask Dr. Paul such a question, the 911-"Truth" movement and its leaders such as Alex Jones have strongly supported Dr. Paul as Cameron stated. I believe self-labeled "Truthers" have also misled many who normally would have voted for Dr. Paul to unfortunately vote against him. The self-labeled "Truth" movement unfortunately made Dr. Paul appear to be a tin-foil hat aficionado ally, which of course, he is not.
Although I disagree with much of the 911-"Truth" conclusions, behind such is at least a shade of truth. Operation Northwoods, or Northwoods Document, it's real folks:

By the way, The New American is by the John Birch Society, an organization which believes in a conspiracy, but which also backs their conclusions with much stronger evidence than that by someone like Dylan Avery or Korey Rowe. The JBS is a group which understands the importance of having a good reputation in providing accurate information.
Like Dr. Paul, I agree that there should be additional investigation. And also like Dr. Paul, I disagree with most conclusions of this reactionary, illogical, and unscientific 911-"Truth" movement. They are committing a moral wrong, breaking the 8th Commandment, The Prohibition of False Witnessing, either telling lies, stretching the real truth, or forcing a judgment on anecdotal evidence.
They are unfortunately also creating an environment where people will learn to not listen to anyone with words of warning, like a "Chicken Little" or "Boy who cried Wolf" complex. This is very unfortunate and will end up leading many more astray.
Become educated, look at everything with a critical eye, do not swallow everything you're spoon-fed. Lies are still lies, no matter the source, even from an organization which places the word "Truth" within its title.

Ron Paul at Republican/GOP Debate in Myrtle Beach, SC -- 1/10/2008
CARL CAMERON: Congressman Paul, many of your supporters call themselves 9/11 Truthers. They believe that the U.S. government was in some way complicit with the 9/11 attacks or covered it up. Are you tonight prepared to either embrace that rhetoric or ask those supporters to abandon it, or divorce themselves from your candidacy?
RON PAUL: Well, I can't tell people what to do, but I've abandoned those viewpoints. I don't believe that, and that's the only thing that is important. And so I don't endorse anything they say. But I would like to take an opportunity to talk about the issue that we've been debating here for the last 20 minutes.
CARL CAMERON: Sir, would you ask them to cease that rhetoric tonight on your behalf?
RON PAUL: Well, it doesn't do me any good, so if they care about me, they should. But the only thing I have control over is what I believe and what I say. I can't tell them what to do. So I don't endorse what they say and I don't believe that ...

Holy cow, the general public watches too much television & movies.
"Rejected by the mainstream media and engineering community" means that most engineers reject it. Steven Jones is a physicist, not an engineer. And a software "engineer" isn't one in a traditional sence, unaware of statics/dynamics/deformable solids.
Thomas Eagar, a professor of materials science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also dismissed the controlled demolition hypothesis.[82] Eagar remarked, "These people (in the 9/11 truth movement) use the 'reverse scientific method.' They determine what happened, throw out all the data that doesn't fit their conclusion, and then hail their findings as the only possible conclusion."
A 2006 poll found that 6 percent of Americans considered it "very likely" that "the collapse of the twin towers in New York was aided by explosives secretly planted in the two buildings", while another 10% found it "somewhat likely". 77% found the demolition hypothesis "unlikely". ... An August 2007 Zogby poll found that 4.8% of Americans believe that "certain US government elements actively planned or assisted some aspects of the attacks".[33]
Meltdown?
There is another danger associated with Nuclear power plants. The 103 United States Nuclear power plants have the "spent" fuel rods -- which are still very radioactive -- stored in mostly unprotected water pools near the reactor. Fuel rods are the source of nuclear energy in a reactor. Spent fuel rods are highly radioactive.
Every 911-False video I've seen (see "More Info" tags associated with this video clip) is filled with lies and half-truths.
"Ron Paul is just saying what he has to say. He knows no one will take him seriously if he says the truth about 9/11."
But I do have to question if the government is telling us all there is to know.
Now you say it doesn't matter how they came down??? This is your so-called "evidence". It DOES matter. Now you're actively avoiding the truth!
Experts in engineering and demolition overwhelming agree with Ron Paul and myself here.
