Great post. I'll now tell my own story:
My relationship with the loose change crowd was sort of over before it began. If you had to assign a number to me, I was about 60% convinced that the government had no hand in the attacks or allowing them to happen. With that ratio not being satisfactory, I made a decision to look at the other side of the coin. So in August I registered with LC911.com and decided to give them two months to push that down to 50/50. Nobody even came close. And that is okay. I have my beliefs and they have theirs and I respect that.
What was even more bizarre though was that nobody over there will lay out what "really" happened. And that is fine too I suppose but if you are not going to offer any alternatives, do not be upset when nobody outside of your confederates are willing to follow you. I would think that they would be chomping at the bit to state what really happened but nobody at Loose Change 911 would do so. Not only that, they offered the most bizarre explanations for the events of that tragic day. SPreston who is especially committed (or at least should be) stated that the planes were remote controlled to their targets. The hi-jackers only had to get access to the cockpit, kill the pilot and co-pilot, and implant a remote control device....so they could be flown to their deaths without having to sweat the details of flying a plane. If I'm one of these hi-jackers, I am talking to the shop steward at this point asking for re-assignment. There were people over there contending that everything from landing gears to airplane wheels to engines (which weigh several hundred pounds) was planted. Yeah, by the Incredible Hulk I'm guessing. And when confronted with the most basic questions of how you would wire 220 floors for controlled demolition (in the CD theory) and have a plane painted to resemble either a UA or AA jumbo jet (in the drones plane theory), their answer is simply, "Black ops." It made me cry--the simple mindedness of it all. Black Ops. Right. Given the years of planning involved in this conspiracy, the hundreds if not thousands of actors would probably have spilled something in the ten year period this has been going on. Nothing. Not a whisper, not a drunk call, not a single person holding their silence over the head of "Mr. big" as extortion capital...nothing at all. When asked about this, the faithful over at Loose Change 911 would remark simplistically that they are being intimidated into silence. Excuse me? The next time you are able to intimidate a black ops commando will be the very first time in the history of the world that a black ops commando was intimidated. These people disappear and make others disappear for a living and you think that someone is going to intimidate them? All in all, the loose change 911 crowd struck me as amateurish, native, and petty.
That was until I looked at the links on the first page. I did this around September once I diagnosed that I was not out of my depth with the LC911 crowd. I was much less naïve than most of them and they bored me. So I decided that there must be a more--how should I say--intelligent forum of "truthers" out there so I followed the links. One was pretty reasonable considering its company (Cooperative Research). The rest was approximately on the logic level of a five year old that was told there would be no birthday party due to him not finishing dinner. Alex Jones, I'm sorry to say, is a moron. The man is stuck on owls and even wishes to equate the wildly popular University of Texas "hook em horns" hand gesture where you put your middle two fingers and thumb together leaving your pinky and index finger outward with some sort of satanic sign. He even trudged up a still photo of George Bush doing this. Bush is from Texas and his office was in Austin for six unbelievably long years. He's going to flash the "hook em horns" sign once in a while. Along with 80,000 or so every game day Saturday in the fall at Royal Stadium.
Anyway, this post is far too long already so I'll wrap up. One of the people at LooseChange911.com told me that I should go back to "jref" which struck me as odd since I had never been her to start with. So I decided to go back to where I had never been and have been impressed with my measured involvement so far.
Sorry for the long winded reply.
Thanks
