How/why is it that I say things, and 20 years later everybody acts like its a new discovery??.

Did you post evidence 20 years ago? Otherwise it's not worth much more than "jet fuel can't melt steel beams".

Plenty of people were collecting and posting evidence like this in the early/mid 00s, a lot of it's probably still searchable if you want to comb through, I don't know, the archives of fark.com, suck. com*, plastic. com*, I dunno a hundred other dusty forgotten forums. In many ways the internet we have today is structured to hide a lot of realizations people had in those times about the changes that happened under the Bush admin. The jet fuel line is just the echoes of crank theories that got turned into a joke meant to silence that effort.

*dead websites only available on the internet archive, the links probably go to something fucked up now so please don't follow them
