It seems that 9/11 truthers were initially very excited about WikiLeaks, as they believed Julian Assange would finally blow the lid off the massive government conspiracy. Assange told them to bugger off, and so what did they conclude? Well, this headline from a few months ago pretty much says it all:
"Any time people with power plan in secret, they are conducting a conspiracy. So there are conspiracies everywhere. There are also crazed conspiracy theories. It's important not to confuse these two. Generally, when there's enough facts about a conspiracy we simply call this news." What about 9/11? "I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud."
God damn those CIA agents they're everywhere! The one guy who seems to know actual government secrets and has been making them public just as fast as he can, and he seems to have no interest in finally proving that it was a controlled demolition, or invisible missiles from dimension X, or whatever. It can't be that there is no evidence of an actual conspiracy... clearly the only explanation is that THEY got to him first!!!
(Please note: I'm not in the mood to open this thread up to the crackpots. Any comments on how blind I am to the conspiracy will be moderated out. Anyone who posts such a thing on the associated Facebook thread will be defriended, immediately and with extreme prejudice. Know why? Because I'm secretly a CIA agent. BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA)
will there be any talk on Assange on the coming non prophets?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how we could make it directly relevant.
ReplyDeleteokay, that is awesome
ReplyDeleteIt always strikes me as kind of strange that those people never show the least bit of fear of being approached by the all-powerful CIA themselves.
ReplyDeleteMight that be the same phenomenon that makes Christians fear and bemoand death, although it's supposed to be just a little step into eternal paradise for them?
Well that explains the gold neck chains, the Mazzerati and the 15th-floor penthouse.
ReplyDeleteI love this.
ReplyDeleteI have always been a fence sitter with regards to 9/11. This story has pushed me over, and I have fallen flat on my face on the side of reason.
Common sense FTW!
@Michael: HUZZAH!
ReplyDelete"I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud."
ReplyDeleteAssange puts into words the frustration that I've felt for years about these kooks and something similar could be said for the misguided energies of the Tea Party.
A 9/11 truther? TRUTHER? Doesn't that name imply er....truth?
ReplyDeleteIt's their self-assigned name. Unfortunately completely undescriptive of the movement itself, though it works as shorthand.
ReplyDeleteCan us atheists self-assign a new name? Maybe Super Universe Force would work. It's better than "bright" anyway
ReplyDeleteIt's comments like "invisible missiles from dimension x" that make this blog win.
