Call for Nominations: Truth Movement's Best Posts

[jhunter1163]

Gregory Urich has done some work that would pass muster in a peer-reviewed journal. Unfortunately, the truthers don't like his conclusions very much so they censored him. Pity, that.

The Truthers' best posts have usually come when they are debunking a portion of the conspiracy theory that they don't personally agree with.

Catherder's post on the Pentagon is perhaps the finest example.

Jim Hoffman took on the same task.

Adam Larson, aka Caustic Logic, has done excellent work on the CIT/Pentacon boys.

Somewhere, (I can't find the link) in a rare moment of lucidity, Ace Baker did a fine demolition of Hutchisons "Effect", totally exposing Judy Woods' madness.

I hate to nominate TC329, but AFAIK, the NORAD cartoon is still unresolved.

All good examples.

Members of the Truth Movement historically have done a good job of debunking other, incompatible theories from the Truth Movement. It's a pity that they can't apply the same thinking to their own ideas, but it's tough. Confirmation bias is a real problem for just about everyone.

Regarding the NORAD cartoon, as I remarked before I'm comfortable with Caustic Logic's explanation -- I don't think NORAD worked on it very hard, and basically spline-fit the radar returns without disqualifying the last two, which appear consistent with post-impact plume returns. In short, it's a goof, kind of like when Rumsfeld misspoke and called AA 77 a "missile." Nonetheless, TC329 was correct about the contents of the animation, and before he brought it up I'd never heard of it.
