poisoning the well logical fallacy noted. Does not matter that Mark Roberts is a "volunteer",...
I disagree with your claim about Mark Roberts; here's why: The whole point of the matter is that governmental authorities, having both the resources and the obligation to do so, DID NOT ever properly investigate or explain 9/11. One of the things that both distinguishes 9/11 "research" and that puts all of us in more or less the same boat is that many, if not most, of our source materials for whatever side of the argument we might be on are indirect, easily characterized as hearsay, and more often than not, are based on newspaper accounts as the primary source. Some of the photographs, when properly analyzed by someone with expertise are, perhaps, the strongest exception and are a true source of evidence, all as was recently said by the curator of the 9/11 museum on the occassion of the release of that stash of 3000 photos that were said to be new but which could mostly be found on Dr. Judy Wood's website, all along.
Some people here ask me to explain what happened on 9/11 or to offer up my theory. Why? The point is no proper, verified explanation has ever been offered. The common myth is about as classic a psyop as you could possibly ask for. Its principal strength is its ridiculousness. The 9/11 common version of events is so far fetched as to be unbelievable and that is why it is believed. That and the power of suggestion, of repetition and of identifying with that which is characterized as the norm, are the strenghs of the common myth.
If I had a $10 bill, the equivalent of a 1922 penny, for every time someone on this forum called me crazy or nuts for taking a 9/11 position contrary to the common myth, I'd be affluent. People here feel compelled to call me names precisely because I am going against the accepted norm. That norm carries both weight and a degree of necessity. It is necessary to believe in the common myth otherwise our entire society has been played for a fool; and, we are a monstrous society to boot, completely redefining what "rogue state" means. It is close on to impossible to come to grips with that reality, absent a catharctic experience, I think. The mechanism of denial will almost certainly preclude that from happening, unless and until some piece of evidence gets revealed that people simply cannot tune out.
Technically, this should have already happened long ago. There is more than enough evidence to topple the 9/11 myth, starting with how ridiculous the story is, then continuing with the fact it has never been explained and no one held accountable for its apparent "success" not to mention all of the evidence that has been tossed at the falsity of the common myth.
You know what, I'll get personal here; not personal in the way beachnut did, in posting up photos of his military career and of his grandchild, but personal in the sense of letting you know I went to see the new movie "Shudder Island." As 'scary' movies go, that one was one of the scariest I've ever seen. It makes you confront the difference between reality and illusion and it illustrates the power of the mechanism of denial. And, it may, indeed, put the viewer on both sides of that equation, making you confront the question of whether you and all of us as individuals can distinguish between the real and the unreal.
Unfortunately, 9/11 has driven America crazy and we are deep in denial because what was done both to us and also then in our name is too hideously awful to admit, just like in Shudder Island, posters.
Look, AW, all else is just banter involving, for the most part, putting up or relying on one series or set of newspaper articles and indirect evidence sources, including photos that no one wants to look at for what they truly reveal, versus another.
You say I am in denial; I say you are in denial. Isn''t that a fine kettle of fish that cannot ever be resolved?
There's no need to address the remainder of your post. The evidence in support of your claims in support of 9/11, starting with it being based on something an individual volunteer assembled and posted on the internet should tell you and the rest of us all we need to know; namely, that 9/11 hasn't been explained by the properly invested authorities.
Instead, a predictable contest between citizen activists, on all sides of the propostion, like you, me, beachnut and Big Al, to name some and no offense to those I haven't named, has developed to keep all of us preoccupied and distracted.
Do what you have to do, AW, to fine tune your sense of reality and I will do the same.
bye for now
