Reply #90: So there's no bullshit being peddled within the 9/11 Truth movement?

Really?

And so calling something bullshit means one is against all of it?

I was doing 9/11 investigations waaaaaaaaaaaaaay before it was cool, my friend. This is one area where I will not be lectured at. Where were you in December 2001? I was researching 9/11 and getting my research published both in books and in articles. I was going from town to town speaking on it, I spent years on it, until the bullshiters within the "Truth" movement so thoroughly polluted the inquiry with nonsense that, basically, the whole fucking thing came crashing down. I was there from the beginning, and saw a lot of good and important work get stepped on in favor of "Giant Laser Space Frisbees Took Down The Towers"-type horseshit, and we're all the worse for it because the important questions (Unocal, Karzai, Turkmenistan pipelines, Lila Helms, Taliban in Houston, etc.) weren't sexy enough and never got answered. The bullshit made it easy to dismiss the whole thing, which is why I believe a lot of that bullshit was deliberately injected into the debate so suckers would buy into it and freight the whole thing with crap until it all stalled out. Which is exactly what happened, so spare me the indignation.

Friends like me were working for you eight years ago on this. Don't you dare lecture me about it.
