also found it interesting the guy behind "loose change" isn't a truther anymore. well he believes there is some kind of cover-up, that's it. his continued investigations didn't hold up. ie: talked to witnesses that saw a plane at the pentagon, not a missile.
i was the same. i thought the conspiracies had some merit at one point, but the facts just didn't hold up to scrutiny over time.

My point is you can poke holes in anything.
The entire fucking birther movement was more of the same. Obama had to present proof of his birth in order to become President - before he could run - but yet this birther movement seeded doubt for years. Even after he produced the birth certificate they continued to claim it was fake. You know, because the President of the United States is going to produce a fake birth certificate.
The funny thing is all of this 9/11 stuff is based on how the towers were taken down by explosives. Funny thing is there was no explosions at all. Dozens of videos from ground level, and not one of them has any sounds of explosions on them. That fact is completely ignored by the so called truth movment.
The best part is "why?". Why would anyone want us in Afghanistan? For oil? Afghanistan has no oil, and even if they did we don't get our fucking oil from the Middle East. We get our oil from Canada and Mexico.
