9/11 and Truth Movement related Timeline

[ref]

In here I have compiled old information, some new information, and put it all in a timeline. I hope this helps further to clarify the sequence of events and the time passed between the events. I sincerely hope the mods will allow the linked image, it is from my own site and it is bigger the than images I am able to upload to my images here at JREF, but it is essential in this thread.

In case something does not show right, this compilation can also be found here: http://911guide.googlepages.com/timeline

This is a timeline of 9/11 and truth movement related events/releases. Included is a column indicating the number of days passed since 9/11. If there is an exact date available, the number of days passed is also exact. If there is not an axact date available (for example March 2003), then a "+" sign will indicate the mininum number of days passed (for example March 1, 2003 is 536 days from 9/11, thus "March 2003" is marked as 536+). The so-called official reports are marked with a yellow background.

you need a hobby or a life

 

[KoihimeNakamura]

This might be a hobby to him you know.

ETA: Good job, ref!

 

[ref]

Well, I had compiled most of the information before. I just put it all together in a new way. It's not like I started it all from scratch

And since I'm not paid to do this, you can call this a hobby then

There is not much to debunk nowadays anyway, so why not do something that might still be useful.

 

[TheRedWorm]

Good job, ref.

Ref, do you have this in a non-image format (e.g. text, spreadsheet)? I'd like to see if I can a) convert it to a BB table format and b) give you a better format for the Google pages.

The image is rather unwieldy; not only does it not scale - and doesn't work for people with screen readers - it can be rather wide.

(Note that I can read it; I'd just rather not retype the whole thing.)

ETA: The table format in a post here could look like this:

9/11 | # Days passed |
September 11, 2001|0|Alex Jones claims an inside job ...
September 13, 2001|2|The ...

ETA 2: This could be produced more or less automatically from a CSV file. Don't know about the multiple column blocks, though.

Raw code:

[table][b]9/11[/b]|[b]# Days passed[/b]|
September 11, 2001|0|Alex Jones claims an inside job ...
September 13, 2001|2|The Peter Meyer article ...
[/table]

I would add the military tribunals in there somewhere, which started last week. I think volumes of new information related to the attacks will come out of them.

I have it as an excel file. Does that help..?

 

[grmcdorman]

Yep. You can "save as" CSV, or just Excel (.xls). I use OpenOffice.org, but it reads most Microsoft Office documents just fine. (I do have MS office at work, but I avoid using it if at all possible.)

ETA: We can take it to PM from here, unless you want to post the Excel file on your Google web page.

 

[WildCat]

Why am I not surprised that the first book claiming "inside job" was done less than a month later by anti-semite and Holocaust denier Carol Valentine?

Truth movement, these are your founders.

 

[GwionX]

Good work Ref! I find the origins of these theories interesting..and as Wildcat stated, very telling.

When you add the early American Free Press stories, the Eric Hufschmid crapola, and the Carol Valentine slant it becomes clear that a 'certain' unseemly segment of of American society really wanted to see these conspiracies introduced.

 

[ref]

I changed the format on my page so, that there is a clickable image that opens up a new page with the full sized table.

WildCat: Actually that was not a book, but an online article. Nonetheless, most of the "original" theorists were either holocaust deniers or otherwise closely related to them. The minimum time it took them to make up these theories reveals their agenda.

Another thing I find interesting is the number of theories invented before one single proper investigation was finished. After the year 2002, the number of new theories has been almost non-existant. After that they have mainly concentrated on denying every single report released.

And look at the effect of the commission report. Suddenly Willie gets mad and Griffin releases a book denying the entire report after only 130 days from the release of the commission report.

2005 seems to be the year they really had positive truther things going on, that carried them to the success of 2006 and to their peak of 9/11 of 2006. After that, it's all downhill.

Great job!
It is now hanging in my wall!

 

[beachnut]

you need a hobby or a life

He took a time to presents facts on dates the major nut case ideas about 9/11 date were invented to fool gullible people.

"you need a hobby", an ironic statement, what we see may be considered a hobby... funny, keep up the evidence free, ironic, and wrong posts. It is neat to see a 9/11 truth apologist in action. Gaining knowledge now will only hurt your ability to be a great 9/11 truth member. Good post.

Is it your hobby to present these nut case ideas after they have been proven wrong a long time ago?

 

[beachnut]

I have it as an excel file. Does that help..?

Do you need a copy of Jones first paper?

 

[OldTigerCub]

Thanks, Ref.
I had thought about doing a "score card" .... a "which CTer believes what" sort of thing. Your timeline may be quite useful toward that.

 

[LashL]

Do you need a copy of Jones first paper?

Heh - it would be interesting, indeed, to add in all of the numerous versions of Jones's ludicrous "paper" that he never acknowledged along the way (until he was eventually forced into acknowledging some of them going forward).

In any event, nice work, ref.

 

[ref]

The those who are new to this, here is a recap of the colorful characters that invented all these theories back in 2001-2002.

Alex Jones - Need I say more?

David Rostcheck - A civil rights activist with the Pink Pistols. Writes some strange encrypted messages on his website. A year after 9/11 writes stuff like: "We know our enemies are Muslim extremists who hate the American way of life." and mentions no inside job, so seems like he has at least partly abandoned his earlier viewpoint. See here.

Peter Meyer - Alex Jones 2. To him everything is an inside job. Avoids making overtly racist statements, but it links extensively to sites like Public-Action.com and AmericanFreePress.net and features some racist articles.

Jared Israel - Strong supporter of Israel and an avid opposer of any anti-semitic conspiracy theories. Defended Slobodan Milosevic, and thinks the Srebrenica massacre was a hoax. In the 60’es worked for a peace publication called 'Minority of One' committed to exposing lies about foreign policy put forward both by American leaders and the mass media.

Carol Valentine - Holocaust denier who runs the Waco Holocaust museum.

Michael C. Ruppert - Established the publication From The Wilderness, a watch dog group that exposes governmental corruption. See here.

Gary North - Not what you would call a conspiracy theorist by standard. Gary has served as a senior staff member of the Foundation for Economic Education and as a research assistant to U.S. Congressman Ron Paul. Written hundreds of articles, only some of them touching the conspiracy side. Runs his own economic related website. Thinks the US had foreknowledge of Pearl Harbor.

Jim McMichael - Seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth years ago. Maybe links to holocaust denial, since he linked to Carol Valentine articles and Carol Valentine linked to his article.

Rosalee Grable - A no-planer.

Gerard Holmgren - A no-planer guitarist from Australia.

Thierry Meyssan - President of the Voltaire network, which “aims at promoting freedom and secularism” and systematically attacks the Bush and Israeli administrations and accuse the USA of trying to establish a new world order. Believes the Beslan massacre was thought out and perpetrated by the CIA as an attempt by the USA to gain control of the resources of the Caspian Sea.

Eric Hufschmidt - A holocaust denier.


That's a pretty colorful bunch, I would say. More about some of these and many more characters in here.

If you mean the original "Why indeed did the WTC collapse" thing, I have a copy

If you do that, that would be nice Behind the links mentioned in the OP you will find more links to resources.
