No-Planers Go After Willie Rodriguez

It's been awhile since we've checked in with Nico, but he did mention this post in the comments, and I thought it was worth mentioning:

William Rodriguez confirmed in his own bio, that he was actually working as an "assistant" for MindOP specialist James Randi.

Rodriguez used the stage name "Roudy", still part of his email handle.

Randi's JREF Forum is meanwhile organizing 'flagwaver' attacks against the 9/11 Truthlings, mostly influenced by 911truth.org, 911blogger.com and LooseChange.

Nico does bring up Mark Roberts' paper on Rodriguez, which puzzles him for a moment, but he comes to the 100% right conclusion:

Pushing the argument aside, that Mark Roberts would spread this analysis to 'harm the movement' because of *being a shill*, this string of logic doesn't make sense at all. Why would a 'shill' sacrifice the most important manipulator [Rodriguez] of the 9/11 Truth Movement?

Fact is, Roberts didn't make anything up and is actually just a regular "patriot" (though blindsided on the general evidence of Controlled Demolition), but his detailed timeline analysis of Rodriguez reveals factually a fraud which everyone can figure easily by himself.

Nico comes to the conclusion that Rodriguez may have been planted as a disinformation tool prior to 9-11, which of course is absurd. I agreed with him on the infiltration of the movement by cults and cultists and I stand by that opinion. But I don't buy that it's been infiltrated by agents of the government.

While reading this, though, remember that infiltration of the group by the feds is taken as a given by most "Truthers". Nico may be out on the edge with his No-Planes theories but almost all of the 9-11 Deniers agree that the Feds have agents inside the movement. This kind of paranoia is normal for them, and Nico's position here is no more extreme that that of Dylan Avery or Barrie Zwicker.
