Matt Taibbi and AlterNet team up to “put down” the 9/11 Truth Movement

Vurderer å slette lenken til AlterNet. Men den får stå - inntil videre. Der finnes mye annet nyttig lese på siden …

Vel … Etter litt nærmere ettertanke: Bye-bye AlterNet!! Interessenter finner nok frem uten min hjelp.

Jeg kan driste meg til å lenke til sider som ikke dekker 9/11 fullt ut. Det kan være mange (tildels legitime) årsaker til at folk avstår. Men enhver som driver med sverting og latterliggjøring av “bevegelsen” kan bare ha det så godt. Sånn er det med den saken.

Matt Taibbi and AlterNet team up to “put down” the 9/11 Truth Movement

Fra AlterNets kommentarfelt:

Of Reason and Responsibilty

The saving grace of the 9/11 Truth Movement is thank god there is a group of people who are at least trying to grapple with an underlying reality that is systematically ignored by seemingly educated, patriotic, humanitarian and intelligent people.

That reality is:
1) Something incredibly terrible happened on 9/11 and more incredibly we still don’t know on any scientific or proper investigative level exactly what happened except that some of us know it has changed everything
2) The investigative spirit of this nation fell absurdly and grotesquely disproportionately short of all reason and responsibility in trying to find out what happened; and
3) The American people have paid an unimaginable cost with no end in sight and have received nothing in return but the promise of bankruptcy in all its forms.

Whether the 9/11 Truth Movement folks are grasping at straws or barking up the wrong tree should be the least of concerns to anyone at this point. Ultimately, they are to be commended for reacting in some manner or fashion, if only emotionally, that befits the true American spirit. Anyone who condemns them out of hand in the wake of such faceless and transparent explanations to the greatest crime ever committed is displaying the same kind of ignorance and stupidity they are themselves accused of.

Every American should be feel proud and intellectually justified to question the events that have sent this nation into a spiral of self destruction. The single most resonating sentiment about this debate is “there must be something wrong with those that are content with the status quo”, not visa versa.

Remember back to when you found out the depth of your ignorance; that boys really do like girls, etc. Now try to read through the events of 9/11. Put the horror out of your mind along with whatever pat and convenient explanations you’ve heard. Seek out the factual. Set your emotions aside and intellectualize the essential elements of what the so called “conspiracy theorists” are saying.

It’s all there unless you choose to ignore it. There is a terrible insufficiency on all layers and sides of the debate to cast these doubts whether they are being correctly articulated or not. Who in their right mind wouldn’t rather err on the side of reason and responsibility?
