A recent court case in Britain about a filmmaker who refused to pay the tax that supports BBC, saying that BBC has distorted the evidence for 9/11 Truth, has been posted at Debunking the Debunkers. But what caught my attention was the author's last sentence:
"Only the truth about 911 will end the war on terror and help to reign in a corrupt establishment.""
If one thinks there is something wrong with a war on terror that has been going on now for over eleven years; and if one thinks that even if we eventually leave Afghanistan, the war on terror no doubt will continue in other places; and if one thinks that this war has resulted in too much power being amassed by the government against the individual; then it would certainly be to one's advantage to prove that 9/11 was an inside job. It may not be the only way to stop the war on terror and reign in a corrupt establishment. But if one proved it was an inside job, it would certainly be a very effective way of doing so.

ReplyDeleteGood point, Anon. However, in a world where there is so much motivation to ignore 9/11 Truth, it might balance things out a little bit if we realize that there is good reason to consider the evidence for 9/11 Truth.
