Inspired by the video in this thread of a Q & A session from Truthstock 2008 that took place on April 10th at San Diego University.

The event featured three of the most prominent figures in the Truth Movement: Richard Gage, Steven Jones, and Dylan Avery.

The event was FREE.

The event took place within two hours of nearly 20 million U.S. citizens, at least a third of which supposedly believe their government was complicit in the events of 9/11, something which CTers delight in reminding us.

And yet, watching this video , I see maybe 50 people in that room. Let's be generous and call it 100.

Now, a third of 20 million is a little more than 100. Somewhere around 6.6 million, actually. Let's be generous and call it 6 million. But that's still a fairly large discrepancy.

Any or our resident CTers care to offer a theory as to why the other 5.9999 million people didn't bother to show up?

I suppose it's possible that the 6 million or so people that allegedly believe thir government was complicit in the events of 9/11 are so firm in their belief that they see no need to attend a rally featuring these three individuals.

Their support is financial and done behind the scenes without fanfare.

They consider events like these to be useful only to gain new recruits to the cause.
 
I can't imagine that any twoofer still buys into the "we're in the 86% majority" crap that Alex Jones was spewing at one time.

Seriously....what is there to indicate that the TM is something more than an irrelevent tiny fringe group of complete losers?
 
Did they give out free balloons and ice cream? Was there a clown?

It would probably have done better at Chuck E. Cheese than at a university.

Well, actually, the popularity of this sub-forum seems to indicate that they're not yet irrelevant, at least at this level.

I post and read in this sub-forum less and less, becauses there are few original arguments of late. I personally dislike threads meant to mock the opposition (like this thread, actually) and they are becoming more frequent here.

I'd suggest people explore the rest of the forum and take a vacation from the CT forum for a while. It does the body good.

Seems fair enough, but wouldn't the effects of this support manifest itself in other ways?

This event is merely a microcosm of the Truth Movement as a whole, and my observation on the attendance level meant to reflect the enormous exaggeration they engage in to inflate their numbers. According to their claims, they should have the support of 100 million people nationwide. That's more than enough to elect a president, let alone force a new investigation via petitions and protests.

The notion that that many people truly believe their government conspired to murder 3,000 innocent people, and yet blithely go through life doing absolutely nothing about it is preposterous.

A more likely scenario (and one borne out by the attendance levels of any Truth Movement protest, rally, or other event) is that they lie about this just like they lie about as great many other things.
 
Johnny,

I was just trying to be a better skeptic and consider other possible solutions; even those that countered my own personal beliefs.

I understand that, and was trying to respond in kind.

I just think the solution you offered, when applied to the big picture, doesn't hold water. Therefore, my point remains: The Truth Movement is a marginalized, insignificant minority desperately trying to pass itself off as some kind of political and social force.

We're all planning the next false flag. The target(s) and plot are all encrypted in a secret code hidden amongst various posts in randomly selected threads on this forum.

Here's the first clue:

You mean do we feel the need to have conventions called "debunkstock" or stand on street corners screaming into bullhorns?

No. Our position doesn't require such idiocy.

Scared of their government. Those who showed up were like the Burmese, Martin Luther King or the Jews crawling out of Auschwitz. Thank the lord such heroes like Dylan Avery keep the spirit alive by rapping on youtube. *sniff*

Geographical locations and the rising cost of fuel might be one reason or perhaps lack of vacation days to take to attend the event might be another reason.

Yeah, You're right...the "truth" will just have to wait until next time. Maybe if it's on a Saturday and somewhere closer to home. :rolleyes:
