Welcome back, Andrew.
If you're right, then it means no debunking or even consideration of the "Truth Movement" is even needed. Instead, it would suggest that Alex Jones et. al. have merely created a framework, a role-playing milieu of sorts, and are merely watching their adherents attempt to rationalize their statements without assistance.
Interesting if true.
When I started this post, I considered the likes of Gordon Ross to be at the forefront of the "Truther" wave. Not that his arguments are correct, far from it, but at least he has heard of Physics and can apply it to simple problems. His arguments are not instantly laughable and do not fail on inspection, but require a few minutes study to find where he's either tricked himself or trying to trick you. Certainly a cut above the intellectual vandals we've had around here lately.
