September 11 (Conspiracy Theory)
Manage episode 439515838 series 3571879
Episode 24 of I Hate Talking begins by discussing the word "para" as a root word, inspired by a Joe Rogan episode with Louis Elizondo. While Elizondo correctly defined "para" (meaning "beside" or "alongside of" in Greek), he incorrectly used "parachute" as an example. The hosts clarify that "parachute" comes from Italian and French roots meaning "to protect against a fall." The hosts shift to a discussion of the events of September 11th, 2001, and some of the conspiracy theories surrounding it. They focus on World Trade Center Building 7, which collapsed despite not being hit by a plane, and discuss suspicious financial transactions and individuals involved, like Larry Silverstein. They also mention anomalies related to the phone calls from the planes and the Pentagon crash.
Key Points:
- Root Word "Para": Elizondo was correct in the root's meaning (Greek for "beside" or "alongside of") and application to "paramedic," but wrong to apply it to "parachute."
- September 11th: Discuss the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, acknowledging some listeners have no direct memory of the event.
- World Trade Center Building 7: Focus on the collapse of Building 7, which was not hit by a plane, raising questions about the official explanation.
- Financial Oddities: Mention Rumsfeld's report on missing trillions from the Department of Defense announced the day before the attacks, and shorting of airline stocks before 9/11.
- Larry Silverstein: Discuss Larry Silverstein, who owned the World Trade Center complex and had insured it for more than it was worth shortly before 9/11, while he was "coincidentally" not in the building that day due to a doctor's appointment.
- Pennsylvania and Pentagon Planes: Discuss the anomalies about phone calls from the planes (calm demeanor and lack of background noise).
- Conspiracy Theories: Hosts state their frustration around discussing the topic, because of the loss of life, but allude to theories regarding those with vested financial interest.
