Occupy Envy?

There are, in my opinion, two buffoonish movements in this country that are bound to fail. But one of them is young, vibrant, growing and has captured the imagination of the media. The other one is the Truth Movement. No surprise, the Truthers are a little envious of the Occupy Wall Street crowd. "We are the 99%" has proven a more effective rallying cry than "9-11 was an inside job!" Well, if you can't beat them, join them.
Occupy Building 7 November 19 and 20
I have to give them a little credit. Usually the Truthers come up with these grandiose plans that have no chance of succeeding, like getting Steve Alten's cruddy book on the bestseller list, or getting 10,000 architects and engineers to sign Box Boy's petition. This time they have actually come up with a plan that could conceivably work:
March from Liberty Plaza to WTC 7 at noon each day. Occupy the park in front of WTC 7 until nightfall.
I haven't looked at Google Maps, but I'd guess that the march is maybe a half mile. November 19th and 20th are the Saturday and Sunday after next. Nightfall in New York City can't be much after 5:00 PM this time of year. It certainly seems doable. Could this be the first successful action by the 9-11 Truthers?

It's not even a half mile. Zuccotti Park to WTC 7 is basically 5 blocks, or 1/3 of a mile.

Could this be the first successful action by the 9-11 Truthers?

It could be, I suppose. But it could also be another abject embarrassment, if the march has 7 people and the rest of the OWS crowd remains in Zuccotti Park. I'm betting on the latter happening.

Another difference between OWS and 9/11 Truth is that OWS is a reaction to real events and real facts on the ground. One can disagree over what, if anything, should be done about the unemployment problem, or the growing level of income inequality in this country, but they're both real issues.

9/11 truth is based on fantasies about magic thermite and holographic planes and death-ray beams from space and modified attack baboons. It has no basis in reality.

 
At 06 November, 2011 18:01, Blogger snug.bug said...

Ian, 9/11 truth is based on perceptions that were commonplace in the days after 9/11--the resemblance of the collapses to controlled demolition, the mysterious collapse of WTC7, NORAD's inaction on 9/11 and shifting stories after that. Then the information started trickling in about the intelligence failures.

9/11 Truth is based on the perception, shared by 85% of the US population, that the government is not telling us everything and may be lying to us. It's based on the need for honesty, transparency, and accountability in government.

Thanks for proving my point, Brian. 9/11 truth is based on fantasies.

At 06 November, 2011 18:28, Blogger Ian said...

I mean, if it were based on "observations and research and critical thinking", one would expect a lot of professionals and academics in various science fields to be on board. Instead, the movement attracts unemployed janitors who wear women's underwear and call people "girls" when they get upset.

Brian, I'll save you the work:

"There are 1600 professionals and academics who disagree with the official story".

Right, which just proves my point. That's nobody.

Brian, something like 56% of that 85% (which was really 84%) thought the government was mostly telling the truth but lying about something. Those people have an argument, unlike the CD fantasists.

The OWS folks are consolidating so I don't think the 9/11 nutjobs will go over well. OWS got a black eye from those idiots in Oakland, so side actions are being watched more closely by those in the leadership (such as it is).

Pat, if they're lying about anything then we need 9/11 Truth. If we give them a pass by assuming they're just covering up incompetence, then incompetence can be used to cover up all kinds of mischief.

I can't go around running people over with my car, and then just say "Never mind, shit happens, maybe I was drunk, what business s it of yours, it's ancient history, let's move on."

I think if you look at the list of signatories to the 911truth statement you'll find some pretty serious people and very few CD theorists among them.

The troofaction boys have spent this entire thread agonizing about 9/11 Truth's role in OWS (or the other way around, they're not sure). It's a good read. They're aware that OWS has connected with people in ways that 9/11 Truth has not, but they cannot comprehend why.

Um, no. If they're covering up incompetence, they're covering up incompetence. It doesn't change the reality of what happened on 9/11. Magic thermite elves don't suddenly become plausible when some bureaucrat is trying to protect his job.

I can't go around running people over with my car, and then just say "Never mind, shit happens, maybe I was drunk, what business s it of yours, it's ancient history, let's move on."

Brian, since when do you have a car? You're an unemployed janitor who can't afford one.

Nobody cares. But at least you admit that people who believe in controlled demolition (which includes you, last time I checked) are not serious people.

RGT, the truthaction guys understand just fine why 9/11 Truth doesn't get much traction. The whole issue is scary and repulsive, and the media have provided lying easy answers for everything. Take a look at the five-minute youtubes "Incendiary Experiments" and "The 9/11 Deep Mystery and the Crazy Engineers" to see about the media propaganda campaigns where experts lie and tell us that thermite can't cut steel and they lie and tell us that jet fuel can.

Ian, what you're not getting is that if incompetence is OK, then incompetence becomes a useful cover for crime. One could, for instance, go and shoot a politician and claim it was an accident and you were just cleaning your gun. I'm not an embezzler, I'm just a bad accountant! See where all that leads?

Ian, I never said I believe in controlled demolition. I am really sorry that you don't understand the reasoning process. If you did, your ideas about 9/11 might not be so peculiar. I sure as hell hope you never sit on a jury or have any actual responsibility in the workplace.

No, I don't see where that leads. I'm not an insane glue-sniffing failed janitor like you, so I like my analogies to make sense instead of just being a pile of nonsense.

Ian, I never said I believe in controlled demolition.

So you babble about thermite and explosions and "symmetrical" collapses and "molten steel" because you want us to think you're an insane, ignorant liar? Is it some sort of performance art?

Brian, I do feel sorry for you sometimes. I know it must be hard to be mocked by me given that I'm far more successful and intelligent than you, not to mention that I don't look like an insane homeless person. Still, your attitude needs to improve if you want to be my friend.

Blaming the media is a silly excuse in 2011.

The key difference is that OWS is a populist movement. Everybody is welcome. 9/11 Truth more resembles a bunch of factions insulting each other, each claiming greater intelligence and insight.

Brian, if you think someone claimed that jet fuel cut steel, you're even more confused and stupid than we thought. No wonder you couldn't even hold down a job mopping floors!

Also, nobody says thermite can't cut steel. We just want evidence that it did cut steel in the WTC towers. Babbling about what you think you saw in the towers' collapses is not evidence.

"RGT, the truthaction guys understand just fine why 9/11 Truth doesn't get much traction. The whole issue is scary and repulsive..."

...because troofers are delusional morons.

"(T)he media have provided lying easy answers for everything."

Those sneaky bastards insist on facts. Worse they insist on the same level of factual information from the troof movement. How can troofers compete when they insist on facts? Dang it all.

"see about the media propaganda campaigns where experts lie and tell us that thermite can't cut steel and they lie and tell us that jet fuel can."

A lie. The video shows that thermite applied the way that the troofer claim it was applied (painted on, what kind of fucking jackass retard thinks that anyway?) couldn't cut a steel beam.

Nobody has ever claimed jet fuel cut steel, only weakened it causing the structure to buckle...which Dr. Sunder says it did..so neener neener neener...

"if incompetence is OK, then incompetence becomes a useful cover for crime. One could, for instance, go and shoot a politician and claim it was an accident and you were just cleaning your gun. I'm not an embezzler, I'm just a bad accountant! See where all that leads?"

No we don't. Neither do you. Why? Because all of the incompetence happened during the last six years of the Clinton Administration...yet you always let them off the hook. So it's okay when your guys hide their corruption behind institutional buffoonery, but when Bush's people (most of whom were also Clinton's people) are involved it suddenly warrents a sea of pointless investigations.

"
I never said I believe in controlled demolition. "

And yet you defend the theory every day. What kind of person does that? Mentally ill? I susect so.

RGT, when the media lie to us, I blame them.


Ian, if you would bother to watch the 5-minute video "Incendiary Experiments" you would see that National Geographic concluded from their expert's experiments that thermite can not cut steel. And the "MythBusters" clowns put 1000 pounds of thermite on the roof of a car and couldn't even cut the window frames.

MGF, the media lie--as the videos "Incendiary Experiments" and "The 9/11 Deep Mystery and the Crazy Engineers" show.

The media told us that the jet fuel melted the steel. Eduardo Kausel of MIT, Professor Block at Stanford, Scientific American, BBC, NBC, Matthys Levy on NOVA, and New Scientist all said it happened or that it was possible. It's not possible.

I don't let Clinton off the hook. Clinton is a scumbag, Hillary and Bill both. But Clinton was not the one who ignored warnings from 13 foreign countries, 4 FBI offices, and the CIA.

Of course I defend the controlled demolition theory. Your attacks on it are stooopid, counterfactual, and irrational.

I'd hate to see what real consumer confidence levels are, since they're in the toilet right now, as the media keeps reporting on things like unemployment, the Eurozone crisis, and (back in the summer) the debt ceiling standoff.

"I think we would all agree that elements either directly or indirectly involved in the Bush Administration weren't entirely honest."

Agreed.

The problem is that witch-hunts in the form of mindless investigations are what - in large part - lead to the intelligence failures which allowed the attacks to happen. Both the CIA and the FBI use internal investigations as pograms to eliminate mavericks and free-thinkers and anyone else who won't toe the party line. This left both agencies with butt-sniffing yes-men/women, and everyone else ducking for cover.

It really is as simple as that.

Since SLC had shown itself untrustworthy in terms of its ethical obligations to innocent third parties, I tried to find a neutral venue for a conversation with Willie and he refused to cooperate. I guess that means he ran away from me.

Brian, posting endless dumbspam trying to rationalize why you ran away squealing and crying doesn't change the fact that you ran away.

Also, I had more important things to do than debate Willie.

So you were lying when you said you'd debate Rodriguez.

And I'll leave aside the question of what, exactly, these "more important things" are given that you're an unemployed janitor with no friends or family who posts dumbspam all over the internet 24/7.

Ian, maybe I said years ago (frankly I don't remember) that I would debate Willie any time any place. He was the darling of the truth movement then, and could get 2 hours on C-Span. Things change, and things changed. He's no longer worth my time.

GMS, I could get no cooperation from Willie in arranging an alternative venue. SLC's behavior in threatening to publish what Willie claimed to be the text of private emails showed poor ethical standards, so considered it inappropriate to do business with them.

The only reason you fail to perceive it when I kick people's asses is because you don't check the facts. If you'd check the facts you would see that indeed their asses are kicked.

Obviously I never offered to fly to Beijing to debate him, so no, I never gave him his choice.

I didn't run away. I proposed alternative venues. Willie would not cooperate. Obviously he had some kind of sweetheart deal with his JREF buddies Pat and James, and nothing else would do for him.

1) by your own admission, you said "any time, any place"

2) he chose a location and time you were obiously already present at, not one you could not easily and reasonably access.

3) You refused the debate

Ergo, you ran away. QED

Actually, no, I don't remember saying that, and as usual Ian provides no documentation to support his assertions.

Obviously I never offered to journey to Tierra del Fuego to meet Willie at dawn with drawn sabers. Obviously Willie never intended to debate. He deliberately imposed unacceptable conditions so that he could claim that I refused to debate. He has refused to cooperate in obtaining alternate venues.

He's a non-issue now.

Who relies on Ian? I took your own words as proof.

"Ian, I said years ago that I would debate Rodriguez any time any place."

That's a quote from you on Nov 9 at 15:26

Are you now saying, less than three days later, you've already forgotten?

"Obviously I never offered to journey to Tierra del Fuego to meet Willie at dawn with drawn sabers."

And just as obviously, you weren't asked to. He came to a place you frequent at a time you were there. But you rafused to debate him.

"Obviously Willie never intended to debate. He deliberately imposed unacceptable conditions so that he could claim that I refused to debate."

The only condition he imposed was that you live up to your challenge. "any time, any place". If it was unacceptable, why did you issue it?

"He has refused to cooperate in obtaining alternate venues."

He was under no obligation to cooperate in choice of venue, you gave that choice to him. That's what "any time, any place" means.

He took you at face value, went to a location you use routinely, and offered to debate. You, after having offered to debate "any time, any place" refused the time and place he chose.

Ergo, you ran away.

The goat fucker dissembles, "...He deliberately imposed unacceptable conditions so that he could claim that I refused to debate. He has refused to cooperate in obtaining alternate venues."

No, the exact opposite is the truth.

YOU "deliberately imposed unacceptable conditions" when you insisted that Carol Brouillet should moderate the debate. The truth, however, is that you know very well that she (not to mention her husband) won't allow you near her. YOU did all of this "so that [YOU] could claim that [Willie] refused to debate."

Thus, your claims are 180 degrees out of phase with reality, and as a result, it remains a given that you have no respect for the truth.

In truth, GB, I think a lot more than his claims are 180 out from reality. He really does live in a world all his own.

So to sum up, Brian is a coward and liar who ran away squealing and crying from a debate challenge from both Rodriguez and Ranke.

JR, I spoke thoughtlessly in assuming that what Ian said was true. Later I came to realize I had no independent recollection of actually saying that. I see no reason to allow Ian to invent the parameters of reality.

You're just trying to play gotcha on top of another gotcha. The issue has nothing to do with the topic post. I believe Willie deliberately created a bad faith challenge that no ethical person could accept. He did so in order that he might make a bogus claim that I was afraid to debate him. The thing is, nobody cares.

GB, there's nothing unacceptable about having Ms. Brouillet moderate the debate, and I did not insist that she should. It was only one proposal among many. You don't know what you're talking about and you make stuff up.

Ian, I didn't run away from either one of those girls. As usual, you lie.

It was true. You said you would debate Rodriguez "any time, any place", and then when he accepted, you ran away squealing and crying.

Later I came to realize I had no independent recollection of actually saying that.

Brian, you can't recall things you wrote 10 minutes ago because your mind is so damaged. Luckily, we have the ability to look back at things you've written. This is also how we know that you've taken credit for being "petgoat".

Ian, I didn't run away from either one of those girls. As usual, you lie.

And there it is. Brian's frustration boils over and he calls people "girls", all because he can't deny the reality of the situation. He ran away squealing and crying from debate challenges from Rodriguez and Ranke, and he's still squealing and crying about it now.

In reply to Petgoat's historical revision.

For the record:

Pat wrote, "...It was only two weeks ago that Brian Good issued this challenge:

"'Willie doesn't have the guts to debate me--not here, not in person, not anywhere on the internet, and not on Carol's program. That's because he knows better than anyone that he's a liar and a fraud.'

"...Brian's most disgusting trick has been to request that the debate take place on Carol Brouillet's radio show. Brian wrote:

"'I offered a debate taking place on Carol's radio program. The reason for this is that Willie lies, and he hides behind Carol's skirts, and he would surely raise untrue ad hominem attacks on me with no regard for the potential damage to Carol. So she needs to have edit power over the debate.'

"Of course, Carol wants nothing to do with Brian, who exhibited typical stalker behavior by claiming that she was having sex with everybody but him."

Pat wrote, "...Brian wrote in the post on Steven Jones' earthquake machines:

"'Willie doesn't have the guts to debate me--not here, not in person, not anywhere on the internet, and not on Carol's program. That's because he knows better than anyone that he's a liar and a fraud.'

"Somebody must have informed W-Rod of Brian's challenge because today I received an email from Willie offering to debate Brian live, right here on Screw Loose Change. Obviously we have to work out the details, but I am sure that Brian will agree to the debate in principle, given what he wrote on that thread."
