Troofers in Training

Sometimes I feel bad about making fun of these people, it does seem kind of cruel on occasion, but I can't help it, they keep on saying such silly things. I discovered this video on 911 Blogger, of Mia Hamel at the 9/11 Accountability Conference discussing ways to prepare to sell 9/11 "truth" to the public.

9/11 hit me, about two years ago down in Tampa Florida, I started Googling and it hit me like a bolt of lightning. And it totally shattered me for the longest time. And then I decided, well I am going to do something about it. So I want you to know, like everything I have done has been conscious. I was not an activist, not politically oriented or anything like that. I took a lot of stops that were like conscious, like uhh... I started to prepare myself doing exactly like Carol said, I started, I thought, well if I am going to talk to other people about this, I had better learn it myself, so I sat down, and I did my little flashcards where I put, you know, which flight hit which tower, and 8:46 and 10:03 and what happened and then the Pentagon and Flight 93. And then I started to like, expand my circle and at the same time I started doing things to help me stay centered. I started taking Tai Chi classes, I thought if I am going to do this, I am going to have to train myself, because I am going to put myself in situations that I am not used to being in, and I am going to have to perhaps be in situations that are confrontational. You know, in situations that are uncomfortable. So I had better get myself more centered and I have tried to do that. Actually it has been wonderful, I have lost 35 pounds, I feel great, and I got a whole bunch of new friends.

So you too can join the 9/11 Truth diet program! Somehow I have this image of a 9/11 truther movie coming out in a few years with a Rocky-like training montage of middle-aged women doing Tai Chi preparing to combat the New World Order...

I can see how troofers would lose weight by reading conspiracy theories. All of that reading must make their jaws tired, and the energy has to come from somewhere.

Is anyone else reminded of Evangelist converts?

Are there any of these stories that don't start this way?

They should skip the Tai chi and start training themselves to recognize acts of cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias and logical fallacies.

Bingo. This seems to be a theme among a number of truthers; an almost divine "awakening".

It's their religion, no doubt about it. It gives them purpose when they had no purpose before.

*sigh* It's never easy...

Well, Jimbo, don't answer my questions at 911Blogger--in a sub-thread YOU started but are to afraid to hash out, well, I guess we'll just do it here:

>>>Sorry, if we have a

Sorry, if we have a potential to distract --and I assume you think we ARE NOT distracting now-- why does you blog even exist? Wouldn't it be better to just ignore us?

I asked you what mistakes YOU think the administration has made--and since this administration has used 9/11 as an excuse for war and to excuse all critizism, yeah, it IS relevant in a blog about 9/11.

Don't chicken out now, sunbeam--what mistakes do YOU think the administration has made? Or are you afraid of what you're neo-con gun-ho fans will think if you say? Remember, it's not a popularity contest...

Impeachment. Accountability. A better world.

Distraction
[below viewing threshold, show/hide comment]

If I were a partisan thinking tactical, I would agree, it would be smarter just to let you guys carry on. As someone who approaches this from an interest in exposing mistruth and deception though, it is an interesting topic.

I find it amusing how you all are constantly going on about how your enemies are planting shills and disinformation. We are always the first one to criticize these idiots. We were making fun of Fetzer and Judy Wood way before they became space beam believers. It took you guys forever to catch up. We were the ones who utted Lauro Chavez as a fake. If we were interested in disinformation, we would let these guys become big before attacking them.

As for specific mistakes, they certainly handled Iraq poorly, the policy has been confused on numerous accounts. Bush has entirely ignored a serious immigration policy, and spending is growing at a faster rate than even Clinton. I am rather more financially conservative.

This brings me to another point as to why liberals should be more opposed to these theories. They require Bush to be some type of evil super genius. The current administration could not run a surprise birthday party without it leaking to the WaPo 2 weeks earlier, and then the administration issuing 3 conflicting press releases in response, but you expect them to be able to pull off this ridiculously complicated plot without a hitch, or any type of leak even 6 years later.

"We are always the first one to criticize these idiots. "

And yet somehow you've missed Nico Haupt. Oi! Everyone!--James claims to have never been to Nico's site--inspite of the fact his partner Pat blogs Nico material on a semi constant basis. For someone who claims to be always ON it, a rather odd ommission--the wackieset and jackiest of the "twoofer disinfo club".

"If we were interested in disinformation, we would let these guys become big before attacking them."

Instead you HELP make them BIG. And that's part of disinfo. Godd job! I'd have never heard about Ms. Wood if it wasn't for you lot.

"As for specific mistakes, they certainly handled Iraq poorly, the policy has been confused on numerous accounts."

Such as?

"This brings me to another point as to why liberals should be more opposed to these theories. "

I thought you debunks were of the opinion 9/11activism was more a right-wing thing. I don't agree--it's cross party--but that's what I've read at SLC.

"They require Bush to be some type of evil super genius. "

No, that's a debunk's over blown interpretation. Most of us, liberal or libertarian, understand Bush is little more than a puppet. You only reveal a) how lilttle you've read about /talked to real live 911activists and b)how simplistic your understanding of politics is(or would have us believe.)

As for the rest, there were plenty of hitchs--nothing ever goes as planned--just not enough to derail the op.

Now are you going to back off with that 911activsm=Holocaust denial/Nazi lying rubbish? Just thought I'd take the chance to ask you dirrectly.

Impeachment. Accountability. A better world.

Puppet
[below viewing threshold, show/hide comment]

Well if Bush is just the puppet, could you ask the real powers to be to help him out a little then? He could really use it.

And sorry, when we come across cases of 9/11 deniers being Nazis and Holocaust deniers (or fringe wackos of any stripe), we are still going to talk about it. We are not going to censor ourselves, just because you don't like us mentioning it.

"Well if Bush is just the puppet, could you ask the real powers to be to help him out a little then? He could really use it."

You don't grok the purpose of a puppet ,do you. And WAY to miss the point. You want to believe we think Bush is evil incarnate. I pointed out we see Bush as a puppet. Ergo, you are WRONG about us thinking Bush is an evil madman with superpowers. And therefore it is the real powers--Cheney, Bush 41, etc. who bear the responsibility for 911 and the war in Iraq. So why would we ask THEM for ANYTHING? That didn't make sense.

"And sorry, when we come across cases of 9/11 deniers being Nazis and Holocaust deniers (or fringe wackos of any stripe), we are still going to talk about it. We are not going to censor ourselves, just because you don't like us mentioning it."

You are inventing cases--or exagerating cases, or again, like with Wood, making the hardly known well known and then claiming its a BIG part of 911Truth. Most people call all that some species of LYING or SLANDER. Holocaust deniers are a TINY fringe of ANY group, but you GO OUT OF YOUR WAY to make it look like the center of 9/11activism. Tell me that's not LYING.

You don't recognize a warning, do you? Or are you testing the waters? That why you sent Sword of Truth to try to provoke me on your blog? Calling me--not implying, mind, but calling me a Nazi? Which I think is a scream, but it doesn't make you debunks look very good, does it?

And what about my other questions--they too scary? Or should I post them at Screw Loose? Or some other place more personal?

And while we're at it, how did you lot track down the fake "Pat"? I think that's what Pat told me, but don't quote me.

Well, cheers for answering SOME of my questions. I wait with baited breath for the rest...

Impeachment. Accountability. A better world.

You shouldn't feel bad about making fun of that vile woman, she wants to spread 9/11 lies in a marketing campaign.

I doubt she'll ever make a stop at the Parents of Murdered Children headquarters.

When I read what you quoted it sounded like she was a 19 year old college dropout "finding herself."

Imagine my surprise when I watched the video and saw a 19 year old college dropout in a 40-something body.

9/11 Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

What was that rule? If anyone other than a "neocon" uses the word "neocon", anything that follows is guaranteed to be false? Something like that....

Please show us where James and Pat "invented" a holocaust denying twoofer.

Most people call all that some species of LYING or SLANDER. Holocaust deniers are a TINY fringe of ANY group, but you GO OUT OF YOUR WAY to make it look like the center of 9/11activism. Tell me that's not LYING.

Tell me that making sock puppets like "Paul Revere" or your childish impersonation of Pat isn't lying.

You don't recognize a warning, do you? Or are you testing the waters?

I'm sure James and Pat can recognize warnings. They can recognize threats too.

That why you sent Sword of Truth to try to provoke me on your blog?

James is across the hall from me here at "The Farm" but in another division. I don't get my orders from him.

Calling me--not implying, mind, but calling me a Nazi?

Yanking the chains of you swastika-swingers is something I do without needing to be asked. You're the one in bed with these people Ms. Braun.

They're YOUR friends, not ours. And the fact is, you think alot like them.

Bollocks, Jimbo. You started a conversation, then scarpered when it got too hot. You claimed you lot were always the first to call "shill". When asked how you could have missed Nico, SILENCE.

I asked how you lot tracked down the fake Pat. Hell, that's a yarn you'd want to brag about. But, again, SILENCE. And this doesn't count the various requested clairifications because you were WRONG--and won't admit it.

So, I call "chicken"--cluck,cluck.
