2) There could never be footage with "normal" random tourists pasted on top of a fake scene like you suggest, simply because one tourist could recognize him or herself. Rather, actors/agents and virtual people were used everywhere in the 9/11 virtual reality.
In relation to this particularl clip, I consider
the green screen explanation unlikely. If
the scene was staged, surely these "actors/agents and virtual people" would behave in a way that at least fits
the scenario, if not
the soundtrack? It was
the very fact they are behaving like normal tourists on a normal day that tipped me off to
the fake nature of this clip.
Because we don't know where
the clip comes from, it's possible that someone on von Kleist's team created it, and also possible that someone else fed it to them, passing it off as real footage they had obtained. For all we know, some teenagers with a copy of Adobe Premiere could have made that clip, using footage they'd filmed themselves, and a background copied and pasted from recorded news footage.
Even if it turns out that this clip was played on
the news as "real" footage, what are
the chances of any of
the handful of people in
the video seeing it at all? Of them looking past
the dramatic background, and
the misleading soundtrack, and recognising themselves? If I'm right that this is stock footage, with
the background swapped out along
the horizon line, as I said, it could have been filmed *anywhere*. If these people were filmed somewhere other than NY, perhaps without their explicit knowledge, particularly if it's a long time ago, why would they make
the association between their vague memory of being a tourist somewhere, and this scene which
the authoritarive news media is telling them is NY? Particularly when their critical faculties are being distracted by
the smoking tower background, and
the screaming soundtrack.
Even in
the unlikely event any of
the people in it did recognise themselves, what are
the chances anyone would believe them?
Again, I'm not sure
the points below belong in this thread, but since you brought them up...

This is a pretty broad generalisation, for which your supporting argument appears to be:
nonhocapito wrote:Once you take videos like those of Evan Fairbanks or the Naudet brothers or the whole of TV footage at face value, even if it is to contradict the official story, you are not making real research, but rather lending credibility to the official story by granting the status of document of reality to the material created in and around the official story of 9/11.
Accepting
the news media coverage as real for
the sake of argument is an example of proof by contradiction.

This method relies on IF>THEN logic. IF
the official story is true THEN
the footage should be consistent with it. By using scientific tests, you examine
the footage to see if it fits
the story, and build physical models based on
the story, and see if they fit
the footage. If
the physics required by
the official story does *not* fit
the footage, you have proof by contradiction that EITHER
the official story isn't true OR
the footage isn't real (or BOTH). Incidentally, what I've presented here is a proof by contradiction that lending credibility to
the official story is not
the inevitable consequence of taking
the footage at face value, or
the only plausible reason for doing so.
Do you have any more substantial arguments to support your claim that all 911 truthers outside
the CluesForum circle of trust are "cointel agents"?

You have stated on other threads that you are interested in encouraging critical thinkers, not followers. At this stage, I do not see how
the various claims you've made are self-evident. As I explore
the contents of these forums, we'll see if this view changes.
nonhocapito wrote:a) there were no planes;
As a statement of theory, this is fine. I do agree, of course, that real planes were not
the cause of
the towers collapsing (to me this is conclusively shown by
the collapse of Tower 7). However, as I have said numerous times to
the fellow researcher who introduced me to this forum, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Even if you have conclusively demonstrated that every photo and video of planes on 911 is fake, that does not prove there were no planes. All it proves is that there are no real photos and videos of planes.
nonhocapito wrote:b) the burning and collapse of the towers as that of the Pentagon as presented to the public was an artificial creation; nobody was allowed to witness and document the actual collapsing of the towers probably due to the easily recognizable method of controlled demolition used to bring them down;
Again I'm not sure this follows. Every piece of video I've seen of any of
the towers collapsing makes it look exactly like a controlled demolition, and I have thought so since day 1.If it was possible for those responsible for
the destruction of
the WTC buildings to totally control
the area around
the WTC campus, and all media emanating from it, why were they not able to produce fake news footage that made
the collapse look more like they could have been caused by planes exploding? Why did they not fake
the towers collapsing assymetrically, for example, slumping towards
the side which got hit? Why did they not fake a more convinving (not to mention physically possible) shot of
the second hit?
nonhocapito wrote:c) given the completely controlled environment in which the whole scam took place, it goes without saying that there were no real victims, as the close-up study of the alleged victims and their ridiculous biographies proves without doubt.
Again, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Even if you have conclusively proved that some, or even many, of
the purported victims of 911 are not real people (and some of
the stories I've looked at are certainly questionable), this does not prove that there were no victims. All it proves is that
the various victim counts and biographies given in
the official narrative need to be taken with a grain of salt.
nonhocapito wrote:If any of this sounds outlandish or unacceptable to you, you should definitely document yourself a lot more.
You can't deny that it must sound outlandish to anyone who has not had access to
the same body of evidence and arguments you have, or
the same time to digest it. That doesn't mean it's wrong. Quantam mechanics sounded outlandish to Einstein, leading to his famous quote that "God does not play dice with
the world". Einstein was wrong, and much experimental evidence has emerged over
the decades to support
the theories of quantam mechanics. So, despite coming "out of left field", none of what you say is unacceptable. These are your theories, and you have spent a lot of time assembling evidence to support them. I am posting here because I suspect they have some merit, and I want to learn more.
While I understand that you don't want to be rehashing
the same discussions ad nauseum, reading
the entire contents of this forum, let alone
the various sources linked, and watching
the embedded videos, would take many months. Much of it presumably consists of trolling and disinfo, and
the arguments between
the admins and genuine researchers, and
the entities attempting to insert this time-wasting material, which it would be nice not to have to read. What would be useful for newcomers to
the forum is a primer which summarizes your various claims, and
the evidence for each, with links back to
the forum pages in which
the productive parts of
the discussion took place (or at least some representative examples of them).
On Drilling for Truth, I have tried out a 'claim and counterclaim' format, using a wiki, where I break every issue into
the most specific possible points, and document examples of
the claims and counterclaims, and links to any documentary evidence presented for each (all of it archived using WebCite - see my post in Tools of
the Trade). If you want some more documentation of who I am, this would be a good place to start.
