Watch Bill Maher Throw 9/11 Conspiracy Hecklers Out Of His Audience

First Posted: 10/20/07 08:59 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 01:15 PM ET

Bill Maher took matters into his own hands last night when 9/11 conspiracy theorists disrupted the audience of his television show, Real Time with Bill Maher, on Friday night.

According to the Associated Press, "after the instigators were ejected, Maher told his panelists -- MSNBC's Chris Matthews, Los Angeles Times columnist Joel Stein and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson -- that they often linger outside his studio to share 9/11 conspiracy theories with him and try to get into the show."

Watch Bill throw the hecklers, who had shouted "9/11 is a conspiracy and a fraud" out of his studio audience.

CB brooklyn:

What are directed energy weapons? Are we talking about a nuclear bomb?

Sheila,

Find more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon

When mentioned in 9/11 Truth references, it usually means the ability to melt or destroy material in a manner that does not leave the tell-tale traces of explosive material nor does it necessarily require the extensive setup of a controlled demolition.

Often weapons technology is far ahead of what is admitted to by the govt. Another example of advanced weapons tech is the DIME weaponry Israel has used.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon

I leave the speculation on directed energy weapons to those with more knowledge on the subject, but it's clear that we are being lied to re: 9/11.

My previous entries mentioning this were deleted. The two most convincing "smoking guns" in my mind were the "Dancing Israelis" prepositioned to film the attacks, and the short selling of the airline stock. Both establish a foreknowledge. Both are verifiable fact.

I had more points in the comments deleted but will see if these at least make it through. I accuse HuffPo of acting in the manner of a "sayan."

Maher's antics looked staged.
03:20 PM on 10/23/2007
VivaZapata--Agreed. For all we know, the entire episode may have been contrived. It could have been a propaganda event intended to incite hatred against truth tellers and create acceptance for physical attacks on truth tellers. The one the media called the "instigator" could have been an agent provocateur (a fancy French term for undercover cop.)

Incidentally, Wikipedia has a good entry describing the role of the agent provocateur at the link below:

There are huge holes in the official versions of the WTC and the Pentagon bombings and pointing them out is valid. It is dangerous, however, to concoct scenerios without proof. This what allows the media to be dismissive of questioners as "conspiracy theory nuts." Perhaps Lincoln was assassinated because he was against the Federal Reserve, but too often, theorists argue from the stance of "they know" when in fact no one does. You can say, perhaps BenGurian had JFK killed because Kennedy refused to give him nukes, but don't say, BenGurian had Kennedy killed because.... See the difference? Others will argue just as vigorously that the CIA had him killed because he got on their case for poisoning boatloads of sugar from Cuba to Russia. Others will say JFK was killed by oilmen for freezing prices. Then there are strongly held opinions about mafia, racists, and more. People should question the phony coverups and keep hammering away but be careful how they present it.

ARE YOU ON MEDICATION? 9/11, OKLAHAMA CITY, AND GLOBAL WARMING, WERE ALL, YES ALL 3 MADE UP LIES. JUST ASK YOURSELF ONE QUESTION: WHAT COUNTRY BENEFITS FROM THIS CHAOS?
03:14 PM on 10/23/2007
I think you're the one who needs to calm down and double your dosage (and you might want to hit the [Caps Lock] key too while you're at it).

The notion that the attacks of September 11 were fabricated is preposterous and an insult to those of us who had to live through it. I was there. I saw it with my own eyes.

Directed energy weapons and controlled demolitions? People are laughing at you. You have *no* credible evidence!

But I'm guessing from your belief in such other lunatic conspiracy theories as a faked moon landing, you don't believe in science (or reality), so what's the point in even arguing with you?
07:17 AM on 10/23/2007
It's sad that the USA has been duped. Take the recent comments by WisconSinnerCrat, for example. That individual has been conditioned into using childish namecalling and illogical reasoning instead of looking at evidence. A pity.

Did the Twin Towers "collapse"? No, they did not. Anyone thinking they did is either ignorant to the facts, unable to apply proper thinking, or a severe sufferer of cognitive dissonance. The following three photos, which are backed by all other photos, offer proof that the the towers did not "collapse", but were pulverized:

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/CB_Brooklyn/Pulverize%20Post/WTC6-WTC7-Verizon.jpg

Did airplanes hit the towers? No, they did not. Aluminum airplanes don't disappear into steel/concrete buildings. Even Peter Jennings knew this, as can be detected from his nervousness in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCDu2V3yjS4

Every single video shows the same exact physically impossible event. Take a look for yourself... all videos are archived here:
http://killtown.911review.org/2nd-hit.html

See here for current court cases involving the use of directed energy weapons and fake airplane videos. Government officials are not laughing at this. Instead, they're hiring lawyers. Give thanks to Dr Judy Wood, Dr Morgan Reynolds, and Attorney Jerry Leaphart for helping expose the truth of 9/11:

A directed energy weapon? Please. The towers fell because you touch yourself at night. Prove it isn't so.
01:43 PM on 10/23/2007
CB, you're relentless, and totally on the money.
I agree 100%! I do give thanks to Dr Judy Wood, Dr Morgan Reynolds, and Attorney Jerry Leaphart for helping expose the truth of 9/11. I appreciate all research, and especially those who are confronting
the bastards like We Are Change.
I wish that all researchers would devote their attention
to their own work, and not waste time calling other researchers shills and worse.
This exposure has been covered on Lionel and Randy Rhodes, and even some tv coverage.

Thanks and Blessings

Thank God someone has been diligent in their pursuits. These documents are explosive, not trying to be funny. The photos, with the detailed data asking for answers, are pretty indicting. I'm stunned. More stunned of course that this isn't the lead story on all the MSM channels.
09:50 PM on 10/23/2007
The "truth movement" (if that's what they want to call themselves!!) is a 9/11-perpetrator run operation. Dr Wood found the following information:

Lenin, the first Communist dictator after the takeover of Russia in 1917, is widely credited with the following quotation, "The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves."

Dr Wood put the above in her article:

Slide 17(note damage to the exterior corner structure).

IT WAS CONTROLLED YOU PARANOID NUTJOB, that was admitted.
Why are you soo nieve to believe that anyone who dosnt see your point of veiw is in on you sad little excuse for a conspiracy? if you dont think thats paranoia, you need help.
ILL SAY ONE MORE TIME: building seven was demolished because of the damage in slide number seventeen in that link above and the fire ensueing within the building itself. You seem to think that whoever denies it has a part in it that is a big secret, Americans cant keep secrets EVERYONE knows that you tin foil hat wearing lunitics. Thats why the Canadians blew up the WTCs. soo far from this blog the WTC's collapes was caused by: 1) controlled demolition that was preformed secretly, (although it takes seven months to wire a building OPENLY with explosvies),2) a small hydrogen bomb that DOES NOT create radiation, a death ray, the clingons challenging bush for interstellar domination, and last but not least: it was the rats.... thats right i said it, new york has rats, and they ate the steel structure till it fell apart and killed everyone.
PEOPLE WERE JUMPING FROM WINDOWS, were they in on it TOO?
what about all of those orphan children and pet stories from the media, was the media completly in on it too?
What about all of the PERSONAL ACCOUNTS of planes crashing into everything, then watching the towers fall?
if you mean to imply that all of these people were either fooled OR were in on it, you must be off your rocker. WE CANT SECURE A TINY COUNTRY WITH NO ARMY, but we can however, plant a hyrdrogen bomb under the WTCs, OR wire the whole place with small charges without anyone knowing or speaking up?
ITS IMPOSSIBLE, PEOPLE TALK. watergate even failed and it included about 1% of the people you have all listed as "involved" or "in on it" i dont get it im out of here
12:47 AM on 10/23/2007
Its sad that all of you conspiracy theorists believe the whole government is out to get you, and anyone who dosnt believe you is eigther part of the conspiracy, OR a mindless robot that believes everything we see/read.... Whats funny is that all i have seen here is the same posts over and over
"what about building SEVEN? it got blown up"
-it was pulled because it was severly damaged by falling debris.: http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/WTC%20Part%20IIC%20-%20WTC%207%20Collapse%20Final.pdf NOTE TE DAMGE TO THE EXTERIOR CORNER OF BUILDING SEVEN ON SLIDE 17.
According to these tin foil hat wearing crazies, your a conspirator if you dont belive there is a conspiracy; and as we all know americans are know for keeping secrets..... its a joke to think that they can cover something like this up, demolitions, fake planes, thermate/thermite, all of these wild and crazy accusations and not a SINGLE conspiracy agreed upon, instead you people go on bill maher and interupt a live show to prove how intelligent and thought provoking you ideas are. Find a new youtube video to worship you freaks, a 16 year old with a Mac for video editing has had far too much impact on your social lives.
12:48 PM on 10/23/2007
They're out to get you, too, bud.
01:08 PM on 10/23/2007
NO. RUBBISH. BRO, DID YOU WATCH THE DEMOCRACY NOW DEBATE? THOSE CORPORATE HACKS WERE EXPOSED. DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE A PLANE HIT THE PENTAGON?? I MEAN COME ON, THERE WASNT A SINGLE WITNESS NOT EVEN ONE WHO SAW ANY PLANE ACTAULLY HIT THE BUILDING. TRUST ME, THE LOOSE CHANGE MOVIE WILL CONVINCE ANYONE. THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOW COVERED UP WITH SUCCESS, 9/11, OKLAHOMA CITY, AND THE 96' OLYMPIC BOMBING (YES, IF YOU BELIEVE THAT SHILL RUDULPH DID IT THEN IVE GOT SOME LAND TO SELL YOU!)
11:57 PM on 10/22/2007
They carried this story on CNN tonight several times, with the footage from "Real Time" as well as the clips from the conspiracy theory website that address Bill's previous attacks on them. Well, it's hit the mainstream now, we'll see what happens. The report was very unbiased either way, it was told as is, to let the viewer decide. Times are a changin'
11:16 PM on 10/22/2007
If there was no 9/11 conspiracy, then the evidence of GROSS INCOMPETENCE of American SECURITY, DEFENSE and INTELLIGENCE institutions is overwhelming:

--Total failure to see anything coming, or to properly react as a nation under attack.
--Hundreds of Billions of dollars spent on INCOMPETENT INSTITUTIONS that on 9/11 couldn't even properly scramble fighter jets!!!
--And this is the most amazing thing: no purges, ...............NO HEADS ROLLED.
-------------------------------------------------
There was no purge of incompetents!
-------------------------------------------------

No one was fired for stupidity; in fact those responsible where promoted and given medals and retired with fat pensions! That's YOU, Mr Tenet.

But, much more importantly, since the American people have NOT RISEN UP IN ANGER to throw off such incompetents, we can only conclude that Americans ourselves are so immersed in the sewage of decadence that we cannot comprehend how badly our security institutions have failed us.

Instead of of an orgy of cleaning house, Americans prefer an orgy of political masturbating

IF THERE WAS NO CONSPIRACY,
then the only conclusion is that America's SECURITY, DEFENSE and INTELLIGENCE institutions are grossly decadent and a major purge of these institutions should have followed. Because there was no purge, this indicates that the American public herself, right down to the smallest citizen is decadent rotten and stupid.
10:41 PM on 10/22/2007
Maher is entitled to his opinion, as are the conspiracy theorists (and we bloggers). But his point, about which he was characteristically articulate, is that his show is not the forum for audience members to debate him. Those people are, to use a quaint, old fashioned term, extremely rude, and Bill was absolutely right to eject them. Bravo for him!
09:35 PM on 10/22/2007
It seems we have two camps: those who question the official story and want to talk about facts like molten steel, freefall speed, Air Force stand-down and Hani Hanjour's poor abilities as a pilot.

Then there is the other camp, who don't even try to explain the many inconsistencies in the official story, but rely solely on hurling insults. Perhaps they think that we who are full of questions are so sensitive that childish namecalling will cause us to abandon our search for truth.

Not likely!
10:20 PM on 10/22/2007
The steel was not molten. The temperature was not hot enough.

Steel loses a LOT of strength as it is heated, even before it melts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel#Fire_protection_with_steel_vs._competition

Think of the steel as becoming too soft to stay rigid. Or, imagine frozen twizzlers versus room temperature twizzlers. It's a bad example, but twizzlers aren't molten. They're always a "solid". But at room temperature, have lost all of their structural strength that they had when frozen.

I am not sure where the freefall argument comes from. the trade centers collapsed in about 10 seconds with a terminal velocity of 200km/h, whereas freefall from the height would have taken 8 seconds with a terminal velocity of 300km/h. The slower fall time is do to many, many factors. Most critically, the fall was not freefall, but progressive collapse of one floor down onto the floor below.
02:54 PM on 10/23/2007
From the photos I just looked at, one being an aerial shot from above,of WTC-1 and WCT-2 while they were still smoldering, what is absolutely certain is that there are two large, identical holes, where each building used to stand.... Empty, holes. They each had 110 stories on top of them 30 minutes before, and now, just four empty holes. You could almost view the whole thing as a silent movie and make a conclusion. It's not that difficult.
06:25 PM on 10/24/2007
I must agree with Codeblue in this case: there was no molten metal.

See here and learn the mm evidence was fabricated to steer the truth movement down the wrong path:

"Ummm.... Bill never said to "ignore all that and trust Bush's Government". He said he doesn't believe 9/11 was a controlled demolition.

There's no blind faith going on here, he's as big a skeptic as anyone. But that's what he believes, as you believe what you want. It doesn't make him a neocon.

As Bill tends to say, 'Get over yourself".

Seems as if you are feelin yourself why not take your's and Bills' suggestion to heart?
If you and he did you would not have to be in this discussion. As to what he believes a good question would be why does he believe what he believes and why is he not willing to examine any other possiblities other than the one provided by Bush and Co. Why call others crazy for not believing and when challenged on his views he does not provide any info other than the flawed info provided by the ones he says to trust Bush & Co. If he was sceptical he would be open to other possibilities and not lump all of them into one box. Instead it's just that he is right and anyone else is crazy. It is a very Bush like response. Just like get over it. However if Bush had got over himself we would not be in Iraq. Our constitution would not be lying in the floor in shambles. The Neo-Con agenda would not be in place Halliburton, Blackwater, Becktell and such would not be lining the pockets of War profiteers with tax dollars that should be spent on infostructure, healthcare and a host of other more important things. Walks like a Neo-Con Talks like a Neo-con Believes what a Neo-Con tells him Torture, Eavsdrop. Must be a Neo-Con.

The 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by:

1. The Military Industrial Complex - Directed Energy Weapons - Used at the World Trade Center

2. The Corporate Media - TV-Fakery - Cartoons of an airplane hitting the South Tower were broadcasted

The above information is beyond speculation. Both are admissible in a Court of Law. Both are, fact, the center of two lawsuits already filed, with the help of attorney Jerry Leaphart:
http://drjudywood.com/articles/NIST/Qui_Tam_Wood.html
http://nomoregames.net/index.php?page=911&subpage1=federal_case

"TV-Fakery" is proven fact. Note the following two items:

ABC Peter Jennings:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCDu2V3yjS4

As retired Aerospace Engineer Joseph Kieth says: "The video is phony because airliners don"t meld into steel and concrete buildings, they crash against them!"

Bush couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery or a coke bowl at a media party.

Cheney? Well, let's just say he would shrug and say the ends justify the means. Theoretically, he and Rumsfeld were in positions and had the connections in order to 'open the door' on that day. They were both signatories to the PNAC, which in turn had connections to/were part of the de facto permanent government of the USA (and the rest of the West for that matter) the Military Industrial Complex. And the links between Al Qaeda, The Pakistani secret service and the CIA are quite well known. Eisenhower's warnings were spot on.

When people say 'inside job', don't think of the Federal Government, think more of select insiders who outsourced the 'wet' work to compartmentalised agencies. Patsies and Uber patriots. The patsies are expendable, and the Uber patriots wouldn't leak because they think the ends justify the means for the great American Empire.

False flag operations are nothing new, they keep on happening because they are hard to prove conclusively as the crime is wrapped up in the realpolitik of statehood. Physics and whistle-blowers rarely prevail against 'the system.'

They will probably keep on happening whilst there is profit in warfare and nations continue to compete for finite resources.

On Bill Maher:

While I am terribly disheartened by Bill Maher's response, you gotta admit he's in a tough spot.
Like most political junkies I try and read and watch everything related to politics in America. You bloggers of like mind will remember a few years ago how Bill was very aggressive with the manor which he espoused a populist line. Then beginning about 2 seasons ago, there was a marked change in his rhetoric. If you remember, all of a sudden he became a staunch supporter of zionism, even though he previously stated that he saw that regime as unreasonable in its negotiating approach. That was the first time I said.....man! the system got him. He fell so quickly into line regarding the middle east talking points that it terrified me. I like many of you was a HUGE fan of his and let that pass because I know given his heritage it seems reasonable that he would feel engendered to that side of the argument. No biggie in my eyes. But the 911 thing is the straw that broke the camels back for me.
Its almost painful to watch him compromise himself this way. You can almost see it killing him inside.
Don't doubt it people, he knows he's betraying us. And in his defense he doesn't like doing it. It will destroy him in the end, But like most other people who are co-opted by that which is profane, he has been made too comfortable to speak honestly. He would never give up his luxury to be your shepherd.
Some will say its better he goes along and uses his show to tackle other smaller issues, I simply wonder when will people understand this is the secret to how the scam continues to work.

I too have noticed a change. Perhaps he is obligated to sponsors who are supportive of Israel... Or maybe he just has become so anti-Christain anyone looks better. Either way, he overreacted, should have been more aware of his reaction for the guests on his panel and seemed to display his distaste of people he feels should just pay their money to see him and shut the f**k up.

On the other hand, whoever is sponsoring his show, has his loyalty, moreso than anyone sitting in his audience.

I think Bill is getting cranky in his old age and has way too much time to think about himself...

You've had some great comments on this thread Bobleblah1.

I agree with the general sentiment from you and SouthpawSass on this.

My take is that Bill is an admitted pot smoker (me too hurray) and has also admitted a fondness for coke (on that I disagree...whatever)

How easy would it be for "them" to bust him and sentence him to 2-5 years in prison?
How easy would it be for them to offer him a free pass on his use of coke and weed? They might ask that he deny any and all 911 conspiracy talk and help out a little bit selling the idea of partitioning Iraq.
He is doing these things quite well, and he is free.

This country is in serious trouble.
