Success! Another former truther recants!

[alienentity]

I was not going to post anything on the 10th anniversary of the terror attacks, but then I received a most remarkable message in my youtube inbox tonight.
(activity has been very high today, and I've been obliged to respond as much as possible as time permits)

It is from a user going by the name of JimmyGunXD556

It reads as follows:

'Hello,

We debated some things about 911 and the WTC's collapse.
Its good to be skeptical. Being skeptical sometimes gets the conspiracy blanket.

I see how they fell now.'

Context: he had previously leaned towards the controlled demolition side, but was not impressed with no planers and was really a LIHOPer. ie he wasn't too far gone to begin with...

Another person just became wiser, folks. That's good news, by any standard.
And thanks to all of you here who bring out the facts so I can pass them on thru my channel - you all did this. Take a bow.

I'll give our resident truthers at JREF 9/11 conspiracy theories sub-forum some credit for forcing the rest of us to confront the madness, do our research and form lucid arguments.

So I thank you truthers also for being the delusional idiots that you are! I guess everyone has their place...

I see the debunkers here have to take any little scraps they can that reassure them they aren't wasting their time.

Oh it's all about wasting our time at this point kiddo...you're a dying breed..."truth" hurts eh?

Jep indeed lol

They really think they have succes. Thats the funny thing

And yet the truthers numbers continue to dwindle past relevancy and obscurity on their way to the bottom of the dust bin of history.

The rest of us can live with that. Can you?

Someone post the irony gif for me!

Who knows Andrew ? This could be the thin edge of the wedge. Perhaps millions of Truthers out there are weighing whether WTC7 was a controlled demolition or not. It could be. This significant defection is definitely worth a thread of it's own,

Not according to Mike Rudin of the BBC who knows as much about the Truth Movement as anybody does. He said on 'Today' the Flagship BBC current affairs program that the Truth Movement is growing.

Do you have a source for that? A quick google of his name and 9/11 truth seems to only give me pages from 2008 and some truther sites, none of which are helpful in checking that claim.

And the Truther definition of success is what, exactly?

Floundering around in obscurity?

All I can say is that I heard him say it live myself on the 'Today' show the day the BBC 'Consiracy Files' show was transmitted. Last week wasn't it ? Why ? Do you think it's significant ?

PS I reported it here minutes after Rudin said that the Truth Movement is growing:-

No. I just like to see you try and prove what you say every now and again. I can accept that he said it although I can also doubt that it's factually true, especially with no context given.

Making waves you mean. All the best to Dave Aaronovitch by the way.

Well, not to worry, maybe he was just plain wrong.

Do you really think that the regulars posting here - including those who have already posted in this thread - are "truthers". I don't. Trolls pure and simple for my money.

Change the word "truther" to "troll" and I see some merit in the points you make about forcing the rest of us.

Even there I have reservations. If nobody fed the trolls' egos they would go. The difficult bit being to achieve the "nobody".

I think this subforum is a 'dead man walking' . The perps will not permit it to go on much longer. We few Truthers are consistently eating you alive and you are now a counter productive element.

*laughs so hard hot coffee comes out her nose* Oh god I have GOT to stop reading this while having my early morning coffee! Do you realize how insane this paragraph sounds!

Let me know when you get to 1%....

Why is it that truthers such as Bill smith can make the claim that the truther movement is growing because he heard some nut job on a tv show proclaim it, but cannot produce evidence to back up the claim..sounds just like their theories of 9/11...
