I mean honestly unless you had a close friend or relative in Iraq right now would it affect you're life in anyway if you didn't know about it?It wouldn't would it.
And as for the frankenstein video - neat to watch and useful. It helps shed light on the techniques of some "truthers" as well as the propogation of the official mythology. Thanks for sharing, and useful thoughts as well. "Truthers" do need ground control from time to time, but luckily official story proponents don't, becuase they're already normal and grounded, right?

I would say reading the paper or watching the news is healthy.
Trying to scale down a 757 to what it would look like from 895 yards away, and then using some trig formula to determine its rate and bering...might not be so healthy.

Heck no. I am trying to break the mold. I am neither a "truther" nor am I a "debunker"
This is polarizing and is doing exactly what it was intended to do..divide US..
I think of you Caustic as a bad-ass.
I wish I could formulate my thoughts and presentations as well as you do.
Naw the one thing I know about life is you must always strive to be better, cause if you don't someone else will..

I think this is a very good post. While I do not believe the official story of 9/11. I also see a lot of cultish behavior in the 9/11 movement. Jim Fetzer, Alex Jones, and Dillon Avery seem to be the core.
I hate to say that any of them have bad intentions. It's just that they do fit the classic mold of a cult. I mentioned it in another thread, but I did go to an alex jones live event (terrorstorm premier) and I must say the whole thing really struck me as cultish. In line a guy said to me "how did you find out about alex jones" and he said it in a really weird worship kinda way. I was thinking, aren't we here about 9/11, not AJ.
I noticed that the core of the audience was people who are "perpetual losers". The type who always feel someone or something is KEEPING THEM DOWN, and if it wasn't 9/11 truth, it would be some other fight against THE MAN.
Otherwise it was some college kids. I really felt out of place. But the place served alcohol, so I got drunk...then it didn't seem so scary...lol

Do you feel obligated to back any of that up, or does simply stating it make it true?
If I get a pet theory too, then I'd say you're young and naive, and maybe questioned 9/11 until you got your behind knawed up about it by someone respected or some equivalent social trauma, and now you've had your ego dented and want to play the role of "debunker" to make yourself feel more socially accepted by and large.
Has nothing to do with what actually happened on 9/11. Has to do with your psychological sensitivities to what others think about what you think, or your desire to fit in with others like you or whatever may be your personal case.
And since we're all apparently entitled to pull something out of our ass and say it's completely true, I'll just go ahead and tell you that I actually think something like that is your actual problem.

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
