Does this relate to 9/11 comspiracy theories?
Perhaps more than you realize. In 2005~2006, when the 9/11 conspiracy theories were starting to become popular, many people thought it was a legitimate movement. By legitimate, I mean, news agencies and the public believed that a large, diverse group of people had conducted honest, thoughtful research and had realized that a conspiracy existed. This perception caused many people to see Loose Change (made by Bermas and Avery), and give the Truth movement the benefit of the doubt.
Of course, the first thing that was clear in 2006 was that this largely internet based fad was full of 3 groups of people:
1) Disaffected teenagers and 20-somethings who had nothing better to do
2) Neo-nazis, holocaust deniers
3) The insane, chronically uninformed or gullible
This little recent tidbit once again confirms what we've been saying for the past 4 years: The Truth movement is not a group of concerned citizens from all walks of life who are united by a logically consistent, evidence informed point of view. Rather, they're a loose agglomeration of disaffected 20-somethings, and when you step out of the internet reality they've created, they're living in their mom's basement, sucking down cheetos and wishing they were more popular and interesting.
