Towards a Taxonomy of the CT Class

Anybody ever put together a guide to all the people? Not so much for the purposes of rounding them all up in our special neocon prisons, you understand (as useful as that might be), but just so we can understand who believes what conspiracy, or if they don't endorse a specific version, they're just "asking questions", then which questions?

We could come up with an easy taxonomy on the CTers. Although the possibilities seem endless, they're fairly finite.

1. Overarching Plot:

a. 19 Hijackers controlled by Osama Bin Laden (Official Theory)
b. 19 Hijackers controlled by Osama Bin Laden and allowed to operate the 9-11 mission by persons in the US government. (LIHOP)
c. Plot perpetrated by US government, means indeterminate. (MIHOP)

2. World Trade Center 1 (North Tower): Attack

a. Hit by American Airlines Flight #11, a 767.
b. Hit by another plane.
c. Not hit by a plane.

3. World Trade Center 2 (South Tower): Attack

a. Hit by United Airlines Flight #175, a 767.
b. Hit by another plane.
c. Not hit by a plane.

4. Pentagon: Attack

a. Hit by American Airlines Flight 77, a 757.
b. Hit by another plane.
c. Not hit by a plane.

5. Flight 93

a. Crashed in Shanksville, PA.
b. Shot down.
c. Landed elsewhere.

6. WTC 1,2: Collapse

a. Structural failure due to impact and fires.
b. Controlled demolition.
c. Other cause.

7. WTC 7: Collapse

a. Structural failure due to impact of collapsing building and fires
b. Controlled demolition.
c. Other cause.

8. Who's really behind it

a. Al Qaeda
b. PNAC/Neocons/Zionists
c. Other people

I think that largely covers it, except for one addition to each list:

d. Refuses to disclose/discuss

We all know this one. "We don't know what happened, we're just asking questions." I could add a question about what happened to all the passengers on the planes if they were not used in the crashes, but most of the CTers know enough to confess that they don't know.

I tried to make the categories a little loose so that the CTers are easily categorized. In all cases, the Official Theory is shown as "a" so that we know lots of "a"s indicates a general agreement with the official theory and a lack of "a"s indicates a general disagreement.

You are welcome to use general logic to establish a position on a particular theory by a CTer, but please indicate that logic so others can check.

Loose Change grades out the following:

1. c
2. d (however it does appear to rule out a)
3. d (however it does appear to rule out a)
4. d (however it does appear to rule out a)
5. c
6. b
7. b
8. b

In the cases of the three planes which hit the buildings, (2-4), the Loosers clearly do not believe any of those are the passenger planes, so we can rule out a.

Some of the Truthers will grade out with all "d"s; these are the folks who are really "just asking questions". Professor Stephen Jones? All "d"s I suspect except for 6 and maybe 7 being "b".

What the hell is a Zionist anyways? Its one of those people from the Matrix movies, right???

In the Matrix movies, the people of Zion are the good guys. In real life, the Zionists leadership are the keepers of the Matrix of evil.

A Zionist is anyone who beleives that Israel exists. In other words, about 80% of the world. That's where things start to break down. Insync there seems to think that anyone who isn't in denial about the existance of Israel is somehow connected to a plot to control the world. Even my 12 year old sister can point out Israel on a map, so I geuss she's part of the Master Plan too.

We've been bribing that despot in Egypt over $2 billion/year for almost 30 years now;

Here's the fact that people don't like to admit. Fact is, when Israel has run its course, it will be purged like flushing a turd down the toilet of history. Egypt isn't the only Arab country getting US aid. Saudi Arabia also has modern US fighters for a day in the near future where the Zionists Jews will meet their demise. Then there is the Pakistani wild card, the Zionists, in their greed and blind ambition, can't see how utterly surrounded they are.

According to Pike's Letter to Mazzini, 1871:

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."

If any of you are Jewish, or know someone who is, you should inform them that "Israel" is targeted for destruction, eventually. For it was written, for it shall be done.

ok, so whats your definiton of a zionist? and try not to use the world "supervillian"

Zionism is a political movement to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Basically, it is the forced right of return of the Jews in Diaspora by force and against scripture. Zionism isn't exclusive to Jews in that Evangelical Christians believe by returning the Jews to Palestine and establishing the State of Israel, it will create the rapture and therefore the second coming of Christ. That’s why there are Christian Zionists and Jewish Zionists.

Zionism has it’s roots primarily in the teachings of two false profits who are:

Shabbati Zevi
Jacob Frank

The above mission of these two men is basically this:

Zevi:
as the true Messianic redeemer designated by God to overthrow the governments of the nations and to restore the kingdom of Israel.

Jacob Frank is supposedly the second coming of Zevi.

The Rothschild family is instrumental in funding early Zionists leadership and influential in getting the British to acquiesce to Zionist demands.

If you want to learn the true story of Zionism, I suggest you read the online book by Ralph Schoenman called, The Hidden History of Zionism.

Give every Israeli some money and let them move to the US. It'd be a lot cheaper and theres plenty of them here already; I meet lots of Israelis all the time. They'll be fine here in the US.

I agree! I live in Brooklyn right in between Hasidic Williamsburg and Orthodox Crown Heights. I say disband Israel peacefully, give it all back to the Arabs and even Jews that don't want to establish a state there. Give them huge chunks of land in the US that are prime and truly the land of milk and honey. But then again, America is the true Israel and the "Powers that be" won't let the Jews have it and is another reason why they created the distraction also known as "Israel."

But I suspect the only reason why they were intentionally put in harms way is because it is all part of a greater construct by the ruling global oligarchy to materialize a world conflict and in the ensuing chaos, destroy the Jews along with the Muslims. I feel the Jews will eventually build Solomon's temple over the Temple Mount and may even Nuke Mecca. If those events come to fruition, and many have predicted they will, the writing will then be on the wall for the Jews not only in Israel, but world wide for instigating these wars. Everyone in the world knows who is pulling Americas strings; it's only a matter of time until the Americans will be awakened to this fact. Things will not end pretty for Israel or Jews in general.

Again, Zionism is the belief that the Jews have a right to self-determination. Yours is actually a distortion, as the basic ideal says nothing of Palestine.

(1) Its a much better suspect for being the prime mover behind 9/11 than someone in a cave in Afghanistan trying to provoke the US to bomb Arab countries.

I'm baffled how people can continually post such laughable comments. So Israel, our ally, has more reason to attack us than a man who has ordered attacks against American and allied targets? Even when the American retaliation causes worldwide condemnation and violence against Israel to escalate?

I do understand that Palestine was eventually chosen as the site for this homeland (and you tend to forget that there was nobody there until Jews started moving in and creating infrastructure).

Give it back to the Arabs? They didn't move in there till it was all fixed up and worth living in.

You are terribly mistaken here and is why none of this makes any sense to you.

Look HERE to see Zionism in all its glory and how it cons Americans such as yourself to support it.

Even Wiki says you're wrong:

Zionism is a political movement and ideology that supports a homeland for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel, where the Jewish nation originated over 3,200 years ago and where Jewish kingdoms and self-governing states have existed up to the 2nd century.

anyone ever notice how anyone who wants the jews to have their own nation is a zionist who only wants it to "bring armageddon" as opposed to someone who just thinks they deserve their own land?

i have


Me too! What the folks here don't understand is that Zionism is a movement created to corrupt Judaism and lead to their eventual destruction. Like I pointed out the other day, no one is more a cheerleader of Zionism as are the Evangelical US Christians that practically fund that whole welfare state. They would love to see all Jews move to Israel where they can create some provocations and create a war of annihilation between the Muslims and Jews and bring about their Rapture and Armageddon. Really sick shit. Too bad these are the people that are in charge and are pretty successful in selling the world their deceptions.

Good observation. But you're off by a bit. Israel, or Zionist zealots, have every reason to attack the US covertly and make it look like the Arabs did it. In this way, the US can begin to clear the path of Arabs and funnel their oil through Israel.

Also, the additional fallout, or those pesky suicide attacks against Israel proper actually work in Israel's benefit. Currently, less than a thousand Jews have died because of these attacks but more than 2000 Palestinians have been killed by IDF in "retaliation" for those said "attacks" since the Intifada.

Benjamin Netanyahu on 911:

"It's very good…….Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)"

Don't you smell a rat? I do.

The "Land for a people for a people without a land" is Zionist propaganda plain and simple.

The British granted small segments of Palestine to the Zionists under the conditions that they not overrun the natives. That is a documented fact and is why the remaining British had to be terrorized to leave. There were sizable Arab populations along with Christians and even some Jews that lived on this land. But when the Zionist came in, they even killed or kicked out the Jews that opposed the way the new immigrants were treating the natives.

In later UN resolutions, both states of Israel and Palestine were created however, Israel never acknowledged the right of Palestine to exist and is why the Palestinians extended them the same courtesy. But what we only hear in the US media is that it’s the Palestinian’s fault.

If you get past the media propaganda on the subject, you'll see why this conflict is not designed to end, only escalate.

I'd ask insync the same question, but I already know his solution: genocide.

In the entirely of Palestine, yes, but not in the specific area that was eventually given to the Jews.

In later UN resolutions, both states of Israel and Palestine were created however, Israel never acknowledged the right of Palestine to exist and is why the Palestinians extended them the same courtesy.

I really need to start listing all your factual errors. WHEN ISRAEL WAS CREATED EGYPT, SYRIA, AND JORDAN GOBBLED UP THE REST OF PALESTINE. They then started a war to wipe out Israel. Are you really that ignorant? When the whole "Palestine" nonsense happened Israel was all for a two-state solution, except for the fact the PA coninutes to turn it down. They were even going to build a highway so the Palestinians could go from Gaza to the West Bank. God, you're stupid.

If you get past the media propaganda on the subject, you'll see why this conflict is not designed to end, only escalate.

If you weren't an idiot and actually knew history, you might be able to speak intelligently on the subject. And if you think the media sides with Israel, you need a reality check (well, you need one for a number of subjects, this one included).

Israel is a place where most of the world's Jews only go for a vacation a few times in their life or not at all. Only a small fraction of the world's Jews live in Israel. That in itself flies in the face of the need for a Jewish state.

Seventy-seven percent of Israel is Jewish, which amounts to about five and a half million people. That's more than one third of the globe's Jewish population.

So more than one third is now a tiny fraction?

Arguing with you guys is fun, I don't even have to try.

You pick and choose the subjects you want to argue, ignore the ones that challenges your mind, and toss big-word insults like a monkey tosses shit when you have nothing to fall back on.

Excellent defense.

What's wrong with big-word insults? I understand what they mean, and I guess you guys don't.

Oh, do you ignore all the times I don't point out logical fallacies and just point out factual errors? I'm not going to continue to debunk the same things over and over, so I "pick and choose" whatever's new.

Not like you'd ever level your fucking nonsense against the people that believe the same bull you do.

In later UN resolutions, both states of Israel and Palestine were created however, Israel never acknowledged the right of Palestine to exist and is why the Palestinians extended them the same courtesy.

Not only was Israel perfectly happy to acknowledge the existance of Palestine, they even asked the Arabs living INSIDE Israel to stay and help them build a new nation, AND they appealed to surrounding nations to make peace, and work together for the betterment of all Middle Eastern nations. Here's the evidence:

"We appeal - in the very midst of the onslaught launched against us now for months - to the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to preserve peace and participate in the upbuilding of the State on the basis of full and equal citizenship and due representation in all its provisional and permanent institutions.

We extend our hand to all neighbouring states and their peoples in an offer of peace and good neighbourliness, and appeal to them to establish bonds of cooperation and mutual help with the sovereign Jewish people settled in its own land. The State of Israel is prepared to do its share in a common effort for the advancement of the entire Middle East. "

- From Israels Proclamation of Independence


Meanwhile, the surrounding Arab states were busy killing and expunging close to 1 million Jews.

Also, as has been correctly pointed out, the evacuation of "Palestine" was initialy done by the arabs themselves. Arab leaders encouraged them to leave, saying it would be safer for them to get out of the way while the combined arab armies quickly crushed the Jews. Ofcourse, they ended up losing, and insead of carving up Israel, they annexed much of what we today call "Palestine". Much of that area wasn't given back to your "Palestinians" untill Israel re-captured the land from Egypt and Syria (actually, don't quote me on the exact countries, but they deffinitely recaptured the land from other Arab nations, and then ended up giving it to "Palestine").

Which logical fallacy is it? He's a human being who has release many non-fake audio tapes and videos.

Your logical fallacy where you say something is so because it is so is called arguing the consequent.
