I believed the official story until 2013. I knew it much better than the average American, and I believed it. I did think the Bush Administration let 9/11 happen by not stopping Bin Laden, but that was the extent of what I believed their involvement was. There is plenty of evidence to support my conclusion. I'm not going to debate this. The evidence is there, and it has been widely documented in the mainstream media.
I was not looking for "truth"; it just crossed my path without me wanting it to happen, or even knowing that I didn't already know the truth. I ran across the film "Loose Change" the day I subscribed to Netflix, and decided to watch it to see what nutjobs were saying about 9/11. I went into it critical of every word it uttered, every point of "evidence" it produced, and every conclusion it made. After watching it, nothing changed my mind. I was still convinced the CT'ers were paranoid nutjobs with nothing better to do.
I then found another video called "Plane truth", or something similar to that title. This documentary made the nutjobs behind "Loose Change" seem perfectly sane.
After watching both videos my opinion was not immediately changed, but I kept thinking about what I had seen. There was one event, featured in both videos, that I just could not ignore. The conclusions made by the video's producers and directors were not what stuck in my mind. What stuck in my mind was what I saw with my own eyes. I knew I saw one thing, and I was being told something different from what I observed.
I spent the next two years researching 9/11. I avoided any site that had anything to do with JFK, UFO's, NWO, illuminati, or anything similar. Believe me, it was difficult, because most of what you find about 9/11 is found on CT'er sites. Anything I found on a site that had any CT'er material was deemed not credible, even if it was saying the same thing I found on a credible site. In other words, CT'er sites might actually have correct information, but I ignored it if they were saying it. I never used CT'er sites to corroborate information. The only exception was if a CT'er site was hosting material in the exact same form that could be found on a credible site. In that case, I simply considered the CT'er site a mirror.
After two years of extensive research, I was able to accept the truth. It wasn't easy, because it went against everything I previously believed. The truth is, simply, that WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7 were destroyed by CD. This does not make me a CT'er. This makes me someone who listens to independent engineers and architects. You can call me a truther, but don't call me a CT'er because I know CD brought down the WTC buildings. Now, you CAN call me a CT'er based on who I think is responsible. That's beyond the scope of this thread, so I'm not going to get into it.
I think a truther is someone who examines the evidence and realizes the buildings were destroyed by CD. A truther wants a real investigation to find out who was responsible. A CT'er expands on the truther's beliefs and thinks they already know who did it.
