Merged In Case you missed it Dylan Avery admits he was wrong (sort of)

What does Avery think of 9/11 conspiracy theories now? He thinks that while orchestrating the attacks was beyond the scope of the Bush administration, there was "considerable foreknowledge" within the government so that it should have been able to prevent them. Why it did not is his new focus. "Where I am now is, I've whittled it down to a very basic statement that I think a lot of people can agree on: There was a cover-up of some kind," Avery says. "The only question is what they were covering up, how far [up] it goes, how deep it runs, and how many asses would be on the line if the truth actually came out."



He says he still "support the movement," but he also acknowledges getting "sucked in" deeper than he should have been, into a "hardcore mentality that it was almost too easy to get into back then, because the war had just started and everybody was just so pissed off."

Hey Dylan what about Jack Blood and yourself mocking passengers who didn't fight back? (I'll kill you with this knife)

How about all the innocent people you accused of being complicit in the conspiracy?

It's just a wee ass pathetic excuse for a vague "gee I was wrong and older boys led me on" apology that it's barely worth giving him any sort of credit.

'"The only question is what they were covering up, how far [up] it goes, how deep it runs, and how many asses would be on the line if the truth actually came out."

If that statement were any more lame, it would need a wheelchair and ventilator.

 

[Quad4_72]

What a coward. I wonder if he still accuses that one guy whose son died in the pentagon crash of being in on the coverup.

Wake me when the dweeb can say "CD is a retarded idea and we were hoping to stumble on something, although we have no clue what". Anything short of that is dis-honest.

It was so long ago...........

Let me show you a video about Avery and what he said about the passengers.

I suspect a lot of these guys will wish the internet didn't have an archive when they grow up.

It's funny they demand accountability until the roles are reversed.

I think this is what happens when a conspiracy theorist grows up (more or less). Most of them don't have the "celebrity" that would get them interviewed after the transformation, though, so we just never know about it.

Sgt. Bernard Brown I believe.

One of the most disgusting episodes in this sad sorry saga.

Dylan Avery accuses Bernard Brown of murdering his own son and then lies about it:

 

[Poison Oak]

I agree Avery is an idiot, a dupe and has said things that will probably never be forgiven. But would you guys prefer he stayed with his original story?

I'm glad he is finally waking up.

But will he say he is sorry? Nope, so I will not forgive him before he does that!

 

[CompusMentus]

In my mind Avery/Bermas/Rowe, all of that ilk, are and always will be Conspiracy Carpetbaggers constantly looking for the opportunity to **** with and exploit common fears.

Even a public apology for past statements would be as dry and hollow as an old bone.

They are past forgiveness.

The best that they can do is atonement at this point and hope that some of the families will forgive them. I think that it's gonna take a whole lot more apologizing though.

He should give back all the money he made off Loose Change as well.

How much did he end up donating to the first responders again?

 

[The Platypus]

I think he's trying to backpeddle just enough to hopefully repair his reputation so he can have a future and a job in something else, now that it's obvious, even to him, that the "movement" has failed. But not so much that the kooks turn on him either in case that doesn't pan out and he has to go back to fleecing them.

Bermas will never atone for anything, he's knee deep in nearly every single conspiracy theory there is, he's completely a lost cause.

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

Bermas will never atone for anything,

He's got a lot to atone for.



I would love to see Bermas try to say that to the faces of Battalion Chief Jim Riches, Battallion Chief Joe Pfeifer, Captain John Vigiano or any of the dozen or so other FDNY veterans who lost sons, brothers and fathers in the ruins of the World Trade Center

It's progress. Progress should be encouraged, because otherwise there's no incentive to progress.

Agreed.
