You're right... I'm in this for the lurkers. I think LC deliberately sabotages threads in which he is beaten, so as to consign them to AAH. Which is why I intend to remain unfailingly polite, and I request that others do the same.
So, while nothing's going on.
The truth movement are generally of the contention that there exists incontrovertible evidence that shadowy domestic forces orchestrated the terrorist attacks of 911, as a crypto-fascist coup to instill fear in the population; essentially a pretext to destroy civil liberty.
They run into a few problems here, in my opinion, beyond the evidentiary inadequacy that you have all demonstrated so ably.
Essentially, the problem is this. If this evidence exists, then all foreign governments, quasi-governmental organisations, and non-governmental organisations above a certain trivial capacity, are part of the "New World Order".
Let's take China, as a simple example. They are geopolitical rivals with the USA, with a fairly different (although arguably slowly converging) ideological stance. They would almost certainly like to see the US government fall - they would immediately assume the role of preeminent superpower. If the evidence exists, and is readily available on the internet, all it takes is for the Chinese government to prepare a dossier describing it in indubitable terms, release it to the world, and wait for the dust to settle. Let's make no bones about this, a scandal like this wouldn't put the democrats in power, it would take down the entire body politic in America, and likely much of Europe at minimum. The media and academia are complicit by silent assent at the very least, probably much guiltier. Many many heads will roll, and the West in such turmoil could not possibly retaliate.
So if the evidence exists, China doesn't want America to fall. Perhaps they are playing a long game, some kind of balance of power assessment that says that perversely, they are better off leaving America in place. Fine, that's possible. So now we ask why Iran, Syria, Venezuela, North Korea and so forth haven't acted. Quasi-governmental groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban, and FARC, and many non-governmental groups such as Al-Qaeda and MEND would gladly see the back of the USA, and easily have the capacity to commission competent analysts in any field. Islamist groups are particularly noteworthy by their silence - exonerating their coreligionists would improve their global image, destroy the Great Satan, and utterly redraw the balance of power with respect to Israel, overnight.
They are part of the New World Order, if the evidence exists. It really is that simple. Every group, no matter their apparent allegiance or intent, is controlled from the top by a cabal of evil Svengalis who make Cheney look like Santa Claus. The control is absolute - if it was done subtly, we would expect factions to emerge not realising the game, and attempt to displace the USA. They would have to be co-opted or destroyed with maximum prejudice, invisibly, and how this is done is far from clear.
The only group aware of this, it seems, is the truth movement. Oddly, this diabolical organisation is at one and the same time so monolithic that the most competent person to break ranks has been Steven Jones, and yet not monolithic enough to stop Dylan Avery - the only viable conclusion is that they deliberately refrain from killing those exposing them to remain obscure; to manage dissent. In fact, as any truther will tell you, large parts of the truth movement are also part of the NWO, sent to spread disinformation and discredit the tireless infowarriors. This must be rather annoying.
The New World Order, it seems, encompasses absolutely everything that happens. Every unwitting pawn, whether journalist, scientist, nation-state or terrorist group, marches lock-step to their devious plan. Whichever group of truthers you happen to be in discourse with constitute the sole palladiums of freedom; so please treat them gently.
In fact, we have all had a perfectly adequate phrase for describing 'whatever happens' for a long time. Reality. May their struggle against it end happily.
(and thankyou!)
let's not be hasty. What I possess in talent I more than compensate for in inattentiveness.
