Victoria Ashley hardt ut mot “Patriots Who Question 9/11″

… og det på høy tid. Victora Ashley viser i dette gode essayet hvordan grupperinger/websider som “PatriotsQuestion911.com” [http://patriotsquestion911.com/] skader 9/11-sannhet gjennom “discrediting by association”. På Patriots-siden finnes blant annet navn som Woods, Reynolds, Fetzer og Shayler, alle mennesker med de villeste og mest ufunderte hypoteser, som for eksempel TV Fakery-, spacebeams- og hologramteorier.

Vel verdt en gjennomlesning.

Discrediting By Association: Undermining the Case for Patriots Who Question 9/11 [http://911research.wtc7.net/essays/patriots_question/index.html#shayler]:

“The website PatriotsQuestion911.com makes a strong case for the important fact that hundreds of notable, credible, professional, and experienced people have serious questions about the official story of the 9/11 attacks. These include government officials, scholars, household-name actors, retired military officers, pilots, and even 9/11 family members, shown in rich color photographs and paired with quotes in their own words along with relevant links. Creator Alan Miller and others helping him have done a laudable job of tracking down and documenting these hundreds of individuals of note and presenting them in an appealing format for easy public understanding of the scope of concerns with the official story.

Unfortunately, the site currently also functions in a different and opposite way, albeit subtle. By presenting, directly alongside the serious and professional notable individuals, the advocates of ridiculous nonsense claims about the 9/11 attacks — space weapons, nukes, “TV fakery” and even holograms — the website functions to undermine a serious reader’s overall belief that the site, the community, and the individuals are actually as credible as their titles suggest. This is not an extensive criticism of the site, but a specific concern which can easily be corrected. Currently, individuals like Norman Mineta, Curt Weldon, Daniel Ellsberg and Richard Heinberg and placed on the same lists with Morgan Reynolds, David Shayler, Judy Wood and James Fetzer. Given the history of these individuals in the 9/11 community, such mixing serves the opposite purpose of the ostensible premise of the site.” (Uthevelse tilføyet)
