I read a good point somewhere that may help your friend see the light.
When a murder suspect is on trial, does it look good to the judge and jury when the suspect has a history of lies and murder? Does it look good when
the suspect lies about the whereabouts of himself and his accomplices at the time of the murder? Does it look good when the suspect says one thing,
and then contracts that statement in place of an opposing statement? Does it look good when the suspect issues a life insurance policy on the victim
shortly before they are murdered, and then afterward, makes a lot of money off of the victim's death? Does it look good when two suspected
accomplices insist on being questioned TOGETHER behind closed doors, by people they have paid to look the other way anyway, in the absence of any
third party?
It looks about as good as OJ's innocence. The sentiment would be very much similar to that of the public's feelings about OJ, except that one thing
stands in the way. Blind faith.
I can't explain how thousands of people couldn't have been involved, or how they could be silenced... but with an unlimited budget and some insanely
complex compartmentalization that goes on in deep black, you can't rule out the possibility that they have found a way. Maybe they HAVEN'T found a
super genius way. Maybe it's just as easy as counting on the vast majority of people to be looking the other way, which DUH they are! Maybe things
were already exactly stacked in their favor beforehand.
"Are you still talking about september 11th? That was so totally 2001."
"I don't have time to think about that. I've got enough troubles with paying bills and feeding my family."
"Who cares? We're all screwed anyway."
"You go ahead and fight. I'm comfortable where I'm at."
or the ultimate nonsensical response of an ignorant sleeper:
"They wouldn't do THAT! This is AMERICA!"
There's a million excuses. Which one will you use today?
You shouldn't force 9/11 info down his throat right away. Try relating other problems that are more obvious and less connected with "conspiracy
theory" to him, and tap slowly into his suppressed common sense... then slowly edge him closer and closer to the truth. Even with evidence, people
are still in denial. There IS evidence to those whose common sense it is evident to.
As long as there is even an inch of room left for denial, people will take that inch and run a mile.
I would start with simple things, like "Why do we still celebrate Columbus Day as a national holiday, when we know that Columbus didn't actually do
anything good, nor did he discover America at all?"
or "Why do we keep voting people into office who are promising positive change, yet nothing ever changes for the better in the end?"
or "Why do we say the pledge of allegiance in school? Why do we have to pledge OUR allegiance to a a system that's supposed to be allegiant to
US?"
or "Why did they lie to us about the reasons for the Iraq War?"
or "Why do they tax us so much that, basically, 1/3rd of our time spent working is of NO self-evident benefit to us... is SLAVE labor?? Is THAT
freedom? Is working just to live, yet barely living at all, what FREEDOM means?"
or "Why do we feel the need to express our 'individuality' through the purchase of certain mass produced goods?"
Philosophy is not as useless as capitalism makes it seem.
Make him question his belief system before laying 9/11 on him. You must take away his blinders before he can see. You must show him how much our minds
are being manipulated before he will truly be able to see how this was just another manipulation. Make him think deeply.
Simple little things that we don't even think about, yet we know in the back of our minds are very wrong. We shove it all way back, in hopes that our
self doubt is of our own making.
