Stay classy, truthers.

If they believe that, they can get a nice stay at a Club Fed and claim they're being oppressed because of "da Twoof" :rolleyes:

Talking to the cop made a serious impression on me.... He was in Brooklyn on patrol as a rookie 9/11. He didnt see the first plane hit, but he saw the second one approaching and the smoke and flames a little while later. He said the feeling he had, seeing that second plane, was one he never had before, and never hoped to have again. The total feeling of shock, disbelief and helplessness, and knowing that his brother in law was working that day, as well as some of his buddies from the academy. He said it tore his heart out. And I can believe that....

We stayed this last time in The World Centre Hotel... Our room terrace (I had no idea that it was possible to have a 20m2 terrace in Manhattan!) looked straight into GZ and all the builders and machines. It was surrealistic; I went to NYC the first time in 1996, and remember the WTC very clearly. And looking down from that terrace I kept wondering if any of these CT`ers ever been in lower Manhattan? If they did, they would know that any falling debries would definetly hit surrounding buildings..... Anyone that says it wouldnt, have never been to Manhattan at all.
(on a different note; I think I as a Norwegian feel kind of an ownership to the memorial park, since the memorial building/visitor centre is designed by Snøhetta, which is a Norwegian architect firm).
Sorry for wandering so far away from the subject. Its late and I am tired ;)

Great post!
 
Any news on the turn out today? I looked at "facebook" and they seem quite. Did the 25 NYC "truthers" show their strength again today?



:o

Funnily enough one of P4Ts heros Randy "Rotton" Kolvick (sp?) was taken to court by the IRS after he claimed he didn't have to pay income tax......this was pre 911, demonstrating both that he was a delusional nut and had cause to lie to discredit the Gov.

I checked "theother99" feed from Tim a few times, but he wasn't on air. There haven't been any updates on the FB or twitter page. No pictures, no video, nothing. The only activity was the organizer (who lives in Cali) spamming various other FB pages. I was going to ask on the fb page, but they banned me..maybe someone else can.

I would guess they didn't have much of a turnout.

The only post on the FB page from today is from this guy:
Jacob Solace- i was there alone with my sign. A group of 4 police tried to get rid of me and threatened me with arrest but i stood my ground.

Not sure if he was talking about today or yesterday.

In their defence, this is actually true - if you don't earn very much money.

Which is likely true for a lot of these people.

Maybe 20ish truthers at Zuccotti Park.
One guy sermonising, the rest repeating his mantra.
Others stand around and gape at this spectacle of truth cult behaviour.
You can guess just how desperately sad this is, and I had to skip large chunks of the video through boredom.

I'm guessing this is what they're trying:

Call and response is a form of "spontaneous verbal and non-verbal interaction between speaker and listener in which all of the statements ('calls') are punctuated by expressions ('responses') from the listener."



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_and_response

But as with all things truther they're doing it wrong.

It's a new technique developed by the 'occupy Wall St' folks. Since they weren't allowed bullhorns they have the crowd repeat everything to amplify it.

Truthers are just adopting this technique is all.

Thx for the posts. btw, not to nag you but it makes more sense to call yourself an 'occasional smoker' rather than 'periodically'. Your English is very good, my Norwegian is nonexistent...:o
 
I think you can judge how well their message was received by listening to the "human microphone". When the guy first gets up and introduces himself, it sounds like most of the crowd gathered around was repeating him...a courtesy the OWS people extend to pretty much anyone. But, as he starts getting into the meat of his message, and starts talking about "bone fragments on the tops of buildings...ignored" He loses most of the crowd. By the end of his speech, it's pretty much the only the 20 truthers repeating him.

After the speech was over, and the one girl yells "occupy the truth" several times, only a handful repeated her, and only the truthers applauded....everyone else seemed discussed.

"There's not enough people here! I'm leaving, so there's even less!"

:dl:

This is hilarious! Truthers turning on each other never gets old. :big:

Did the guys mobile phone only display 5 words of text at a time?

That's just the technique for the "human microphone". Sentences are kept short or broken up, so that the crowd can repeat them easily...it's so everyone can hear what the speaker is saying without the use of megaphones, which aren't allowed in the park.

No wonder these chowderheads can't get anything accomplished.

That fell...
That fell!

At free fall...
At free fall!

At 5:20...
At 5:20!

That day.
That day!

Even if there was a compelling message being communicated, the medium just doesn't suit. They should stick to youtubes with creepy music.

Ah, thanks.

I see I was off the mark.

Thanks.

Not really sure if a handful of twoofers and a few bemused OWS types really constitute a crowd - isn't the collective noun for twoofers a fail?
