What most 'truthers' want is attention.
The 9/11 Troof movement list jams it's thumbs in it's ears and turns away,
because the evidence of the situation doesn't conform to their ridiculous conspiracy.
Frequently Stupid Theories
The purpose of this document is to provide a rebuttal to the most common theories raised by 9/11 Deniers in either verbal debates or message boards. Simply refer any 9/11 Denier spammers to this page in order for them to properly shut up. This document was written by me.

If it doesn't come right out of the mouth of Alex Jones or another troofer, it's just gotta be 'misinformation';

Good ole dave, I have seen you attack everyone who supports the truth or questions the lies that we have been told.
Questioning the higher ups is what makes this country.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - e. Burke
As you can see, we are not going to do nothing, we will not let evil triumph no matter how long they stay and litter forums with their hate.
Are you saying that we should expect more of this and that you may be involved?

All I said was some crackpot who supported these conspriacy stories shot two cops, and added some criticism to the conspiracy stories that drove him into doing this.
Now, here's a pop quiz, to determine right away whether you people are part of the solution, or part of the problem- When you read about this guy, are you...
a) ...horrified at how fringe crackpots like this are seeing what they want to see in these conspriacy stories and are getting the dangerous idea to take matters into their own hands?
-or-
b) ...convinced this is "evidence" of yet ANOTHER conspiracy and/or coverup and the secret world order is framing him (or even staging this themselves) as a disinformation campaign to discredit the rest of you truthers?
You tried to pigeon hole every single person into one of those two categories and couldn't remember that from the OP until now, or chose to ignore it. Either is the sign of a terrible poster.

Nope, not even close. You have to present a clear and present danger. If you don't tell them to do it you aren't liable.

This is going to shock you, so I hope you're sitting down. The solution to get rid of all these crackpot conspiracy stories and the con artists behind all these conspiracy web sites is simple- have more investigations.
Which ironically is what most 9/11 truthers want.
These "damned fool websites", like the one you are on, are merely facilitators of conversation. If you don't like them, do not visit them.
It's not ok regardless of what the guy chooses to believe. One belief over another as a murder motivator is not somehow "better"

Is it just me or are the plants just getting sloppy
Can someone please tell me why there are 17 members of a conspiriacy website that agreed with this garbage enough to flag it?
I think that's 17 government worms.

No, that is NOT what most 9/11 truthers want.
All you need to do is read the screwball claims, accusations, and hallucinations being posted here to see that what they want is an investigation that certifies what they themselves want to believe.
They've build for themselves such a convoluted world of circular logic where secret plots lurk within gov't conspiracies that revolve around gov't disinformation agents that they will accept NO investigation that doesn't jive with their own conspiracy claims. They'll simply brush it off as "yet another coverup".
I invite you to prove me wrong- did YOU ever read the 9/11 commission report or even the NIST report?
When I say "conspiracy web sites" I'm referring to the sites whose mission statement is to promote a specific in-house conspiracy theory at the expense of the truth, such as Loose Change. I say this becuase when I went to the Loose Change discussion boards to discuss the flaws in their documentary, I was banned in three weeks. The moderators specifically said in their YOU ARE BANNED message to me that it wasn't becuase I was beign rude or insultive, btu becuase they didn't appreciate the information I was providing. I was lucky- anyone posting "no planes" conspriacy claims there gets banned immediately.
So please explain to me how these 9/11 conspiracy web sites are "facilitators of honest conversation" since I haven't seen any such thing yet.
If you would review the news story that this thread is all about, you'll see that it's not the conspiracy critics who you need to be telling this to.
There will always be crackpots who are thoroughly convinced that the gov't is out to murder us all, but at least this way they'll be shooting Pentagon cops over some other reason.

The Southern Poverty Law Center's successful lawsuit against the United Klans of America shows your interpretation of the law is wrong. The UKA never said, "go out and murder the first black kid you come across", either, but they DID give their members a non-stop diet of carefully edited propaganda that instigated the hatred that caused some of their members to go out and murder the first black kid they came across. Change "hatred for blacks" to "paranoia that the gov't is constantly plotting to murder us all" and this is literally the same thing Loose Change, Prison Planet, etc are doing.
Just becuase you personally don't like a fact, it in no way means that the fact is incorrect.
Hundreds of thousands of people, probably many more, subscribe to extremist views re 9/11, ie that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld were responsible for the attacks, regardless of the fact that there isn't a single scrap of evidence actually implicating these men (unless you consider George Bush sitting in that classroom "evidence").
Conspiracy theorists can indulge their tastes in outrageous & baseless slander online with impunity & interact with others as extreme as they are, although the disturbing thing is that it's no longer considered extremism to believe that George W Bush is a mass murderer.
If this many people actually think that they live in some dystopian fascist state, it doesn't seem improbable that at least one of them will eventually snap. If we do reside in an Orwellian nightmare, then why not do something about it rather than pontificate endlessly, year in year out, about controlled demolitions & building 7.
Ten years from now the same old tired rubbish will be posted, no new evidence will have emerged, nothing will have changed.
whereas the 9/11 conspiracy lovers , while they portray themselves as great patriots & lovers of truth, actually do nothing, other than engage in tedious online debate re the melting point of steel & other matters that the man or woman in the street doesn't care about nor ever will care about.

Funny, cause what 90% of the truthers spout happens to be: "We need a new investigation", so now you are saying they don't want it because it wouldn't sit right with your worldview.
I invite you to prove me wrong- did YOU ever read the 9/11 commission report or even the NIST report?
Yes, I have. Assume much?
Their board, their rules. Learn to read the T&C's before you sign on. There are plenty of boards for you to go and express your opinions. That's what free speech is about. unless of course you are just advocating we do away with that archaic concept?
Cute, you added a word I did not type. I never said "honest" conversation. I said conversation. I don't care what kind it is in general. There is nothing criminal about 9/11 conversations. Unless of course you would like to see that happen.

I specifically said that you have to present a clear and present danger in my post, the tactic that was used by that the prosecution in that case.

Misquote people much? What I SAID is that truthers want a investigation THAT CERTIFIES WHAT THEY THEMSELVES WANT TO BELIEVE. How can you even argue the point? If somehow you're able to get two plus two to equal five and an investigation did show there were controlled demolitions, do you really think the "lasers from outer space" bunch will accept it? If it were shown that Bush DID stage the attack, do you really think the "it was staged by Israel" bunch will support it?
Ah, very good. So then you can relate with my frustration when these supposed "truthers" make claims that the 9/11 commission supposedly made when they never said any such thing I.E. no interceptors were scrambled, no mention was made of WTC 7, as well as the frauds who criticize the 9/11 report over things the report was never meant to cover to begin with I.E. why Bush stayed in the classroom for as long as he did.
If you have to rely on lies to get your point across, it's a de facto admission that you know what you're saying is wrong.
HUH?!? Are you really advocationg censorship as a legitimate avenue to preserve freedom of speech?!?
I attributed "honest" conversation to you becuase I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. If you are seriously advocating DISHONEST conversation then please tell me now, so I'll know enough to stay the hell away from you.

I think that's 17 government worms.
So let me get this straight...in one moment you're griping that I'm accusing conspiracy theorists of being paranoid, and not even one sentence later, you're accusing me of being a secret government agent sent to ATS to trick you with disinformation. Is this really what you mean to say?!?
Good grief, I might as well be talking to the wall.
