Let us reason together and get something accomplished.
I have a message for anyone who considers themselves a member of the "reality based community" and the "9-11 truth movement":
STOP. Stop with the infighting. How?
EVERYONE who does not accept the official account given by the government, NEEDS TO REALIZE:
We must ALL unite, and NOT divide over the innumerable theories as to exactly HOW the attacks were done.
This is the one part of my position from the very beginning, I still very much believe. HOW the attacks were done is not, or should not be important right now. It's putting the cart before the horse.
When one wants the truth about something when they've been lied to, it's neither smart, nor effective to go into unknowable details or speculation about what the exact truth IS: It is far easier and more effective to begin a quest for the truth about a lie, by illuminating the lie, or the negatives: PLACE THE BURDEN OF PROOF ON THEM WHERE IT BELONGS. The official story from the government has to be exposed as the self-evidently impossible series of claims that it is BEFORE one goes off on a tangent about the methods used to commit the crime in question. This has to begin with QUESTIONING THEM, not speculating about the "weapon": It begins with MOTIVE, it then moves on to "where were you on the night of..". THIS is how any intelligent prosecution begins. It doesn't begin with an argument over what brand of knife was used to stab the victim. That information may or may not come out later during a trial, but at this point, we haven't even got these people under oath.
Although I now believe that controlled demolition is possible and even probable, it is not what we ought to be arguing over. We shouldn't be arguing at all. We should be forcing the government to explain itself based on what we KNOW beyond a reasonable doubt. And what we know, is that their innumerable claims of `coincidence' are preposterous. We do not have to "debate" whether the NORAD controller responsible for scrambling aircraft was relieved of his duties the very day before 9-11 after over a decade in the position. We do not have to debate whether there was a so-called "drill" involving hijacked air craft ON 9-11 in New York. We do not have to debate whether Bush claimed to have seen the first jet hit the WTC BEFORE he went into the kindergarten. There are HUNDREDS of known ABSURDITIES which have been set forth by the government which NONE OF US DISAGREE ON.
So WHY then is it intelligent to exert our energies on THEORIES about the weapon used at this time? IT'S NOT. It's utterly destructive.
I have to say that the vehemence with which some are pursuing theories set forth by others such as Dr. Jones, doesn't serve the hope of getting to first base in a prosecution. Most people do not understand the claims being made. But your average person CAN look at video of a paralyzed Bush reading the pet goat, and read his own words claiming the impossible (that he witnessed the first plane hit the WTC BEFORE he went into the kindergarten), and KNOW that they've been had. They can look at the fact that the owner of the WTC, Mr. Silverstein was offered a multi-billion dollar buy out by the Bush government which PREVENTED a 7 billion dollar insurance claim which obviously would have been investigated by the insurance company. Your average Joe can follow the money.
Before I accepted the probability of controlled demolition based on evidence, I thought that advancing the theory was actually potentially very destructive to the 9-11 truth movement. I still believe that it is. It's a diversion from what appears to me to be far more compelling evidences which can be argued, and which are far less likely to be explained away in an effort to block a major investigation. An intelligent prosecution of a crime doesn't start with the most difficult elements to prove; it begins with the simplest elements to prove, and it then possibly finds new light on the more theoretical elements of the crime through cross examination.
I wrote of disinformationists a long time ago. One does not have to be complicit to become one; One can become an unknowing carrier of the disease.
My advice to those who truly want 9-11 legitimately investigated is this: Stop the infighting. Stop arguing over the various theories as to HOW it was done. Focus on what we KNOW without question. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, is best going to be served with individual suspects having their obviously impossible stories questioned while they are under oath and treated as hostile witnesses by a prosecution intent on finding them guilty of the crime. The how of this crime can and will come out if the prosecution is allowed to proceed in a properly ordered manner. But becoming fixated on the particulars of HOW the crime was committed at this time, is very, very dangerous: Go down the wrong road, and the certain evidence gets swept under the rug with the "debunked".
Let us then for the sake of truth, lay aside all the speculative theories for now, and concentrate on a unity of purpose to bring the government to account for 9-11. The case for willful complicity is self-evident through KNOWN facts which can not be refuted. The details need to wait until we have attained the first goal. Controlled demolition may be the likely method used, but right now it's only an ineffective argument amounting to a diversion. I also plead guilty to falling into the debate, so don't think I'm singling anyone in particular out. But good and reasonable people are getting angry at one another where no ill intent is present. That's just not good for the movement; divided we fall.
I would like to WELCOME everyone who believes the government is complicit, and create an ECUMENICALISM constructive to getting this horrific crime prosecuted. We should find the page the majority of us can agree on, and then stay on that page until we've moved ahead in a meaningful way.
And that's all I have to say about that.
