"9/11 Truth" News Goes Mainstream; Time Magazine Finds Theory CredibleBritain's Daily Mail gives the Truthersa weirdly credulous hearing, and insists the theory comes from "top men." Who? Top men. The 9/11 terrorist attack on America which left almost 3,000 people dead was an "inside job", according to a group of leading academics. Okay, Jones is a "philospher of science," which means he's not a scientist, but that word is in there, so he's a "leading scientist" and/or "top expert." So-- with all this academic firepower on the Truthers' side, let's take a look at the people who oppose them. Christopher Pyle, professor of constitutional law at Mt Holyoake College in Massachusetts, has dismissed the academic group. Not a "top" professor, so ignore him. He's the only dissenting voice quoted. Time notes that "Loose Change" began as a fictional screenplay: As a narrative, the official story that the government--echoed by the media--is trying to sell shows an almost embarrassing lack of novelistic flair, whereas the story the conspiracy theorists tell about what happened on Sept. 11 is positively Dan Brownesque in its rich, exciting complexity. Rowe and his collaborator, Dylan Avery, 22, actually started writing Loose Change as a fictional screenplay--"loosely based around us discovering that 9/11 was an inside job," Rowe says--before they became convinced that the evidence of conspiracy was overwhelming. ...before noting that this is all very plausible, given Bush's lies: The Administration is certainly playing its part in the drama with admirable zeal. If we went to war to root out fictional weapons of mass destruction, is staging a fictional terrorist attack such a stretch? Ah, yes. The fair and balanced media. The media and the Democrats keep spinning that liberals don't believe this, but 1, many of them do, and 2, you can see how much sympathy liberals have for these people from the Daily Mail and Time. Would a conservative-driven conspiracy theory be given such a pass? There is much more evidence to suggest a Middle East/Iraq connection in the OKC bombings, but the media has been haughtily dismissive of such talk. You can tell someone's politics from the crazies they make excuses for. It's pretty plain that Time magazine views the "Truthers" as an important part of the liberal coalition they're worried about overly offending. Time Magazine makes sure it keeps the the conspiracy theory alive. Hey, if someone wants to vote against Republicans in November based on this lunacy, Time sure the hell is not going to argue with them, right?
University of Wisconsin professor who works with 9-11 conspiracist Kevin Barrett says he's a "fruitcake" who is too biased in favor of Islam to teach a class on the subject. Ignore him. He's not a "leading scientist." The world has gone crazy, and the war is lost. The liberals are so deranged they will entertain notions like this simply so they can regain power for a few years before bowing to the Caliphate. The First Step In Dealing With Tragedy Is Denial: And the liberals have been locked in Step One since 1994. Okay, they do frequently move up to Step Two (Anger) and sometimes Step Three (Bargaining -- as in, "Look, if we pretend we'll fight terrorists, will you let us ruin your lives?). But Step One is where they spend most of their time. Like David Gregory angrily denying he is restating Democratic talking points, prefering to label them "facts." | Recent Comments
