No, not at all. Jones is on the
BOARD of 911truth.org. That's not the "one posting on a blog by a nut" kind of situation.
You think the no-planes guys are "pretenders"? I'm sure spooked9111 would love to have a word with you.
But there is something larger going on here, and the contours are becoming apparent.
9/11 wasn't just Bush's "Reichstag Fire", and there is an entire spectrum of fascist and proto-fascist organizations that have latched onto "9/11 truth" as an introductory route into a much more developed set of historical and economic theories.
It was reflecting on the comparisons and contrasts between the Larouchies and the John Birch Society, and also remembering my observation, from when I had briefly lived there, of how the JBS fit in just fine among ordinary folks in Utah.
But, please, the "de-bunkers" have turned the 9/11 Forum into a shambles? And they did this by arguing with the "nutjob" theories, which you
never criticize. No, of course not. It's only those who argue with your unspecified "nutjobs" who are ruining the conversation.
It never matters what any given person says. All you guys ever care about is constructing group membership for en masse dismissal
Nonsense. You haven't put forward a thesis susceptible of dismissal. Your continued refrain is "of course the nutjob stuff makes no sense... how come nobody answers THESE questions..." and whereupon you loosely stitch together some insinuations, but never really spit out what it is you are on about. You further studiously avoid actually criticizing proponents of the nutjob stuff. It's only the critics of the nutjobs with whom you take issue.
The reason that you won't go after the nutty stuff, even though 9/11Truth.org suggests people legitimately seeking the truth should, is pretty apparent.
The approach is brilliant. There are CT's in want of a theory, so by studiously avoiding criticizing any particular piece of physical nonsense, the "crazy folks" are nearly always someone other than your intended reader.
Steven Jones is functionally important for the use of 9/11 Truth as an introduction to the broader conspiracy theories of history espoused by fascist and proto-fascist organizations, because while a lot of folks generally believe the LDS to lean right, some folks are completely unaware of the positive endorsement and historical flirtation between LDS leadership and the John Birch Society. See, e.g.
http://www.latterdayconservative.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=339And behind all of the "probable cause" and "beyond reasonable doubt" language, there are lists of people to be rounded up, come the Truth revolution:
