How Many Cults Are Involved In 9-11 Denial?

I am continually amazed at the number of kooky cults that you find involved in the 9-11 Denial Movement. We've covered in some detail the URANTIA ties of Les Jamieson and Byron Belitsos, one of the founders of 9-11 Truth Dot Org. The Lyndon LaRouche Movement is well-represented with Webster Tarpley, a former spokesman for LaRouche in Europe, and a number of members in the NY 9-11 Deniers group, according to Nico Haupt and confirmed in the video of Nico's dustup with Les Jamieson at St. Mark's.

And those cults seem positively normal when compared to the reptoid alien believers. David Icke is of course the most famous. Less known but equally nutty are the Cassiopaeans of Laura Knight-Jadczyk. Knight-Jadczyk's contribution to the 9-11 bookshelf is called 9-11 The Ultimate Truth.

9/11: The Ultimate Truth makes a strong case for the idea that September 11, 2001 marked the moment when our planet entered the final phase of a diabolical plan that has been many, many years in the making. It is a plan developed and nurtured by successive generations of ruthless individuals who relentlessly exploit the negative aspects of basic human nature to entrap humanity as a whole in endless wars and suffering in order to keep us confused and distracted to the reality of the man behind the curtain.

Richard Heinberg is a Peak Oil theorist. We have not spent a great deal of time going over the Peak Oil folks here. Basically their theory is that we are already pumping as much oil out of the ground as possible and that inevitably oil production will start to decline, causing a big spike in prices. Some of the Peak Oil folks believe that the government plans to kill off 80% of the world's population so that the survivors have plenty of oil. At any rate, Heinberg is a self-admitted former cult member:

"For a time he lived in Colorado's Sunrise Ranch, an intentional community that served as the headquarters for an organization called "Emissaries of the Divine Light" It was "a sort of benign cult." he says.

Note: It is easy to assume that there are so many people from other cults in the 9-11 Denial Movement because if you're nutty enough to fall for one kooky idea, you're probably nutty enough to fall for another. Which would be fine if these people were just followers of 9-11 Denial. But in fact, they are leaders, authors and important people in this movement.

Anybody aware of more cult ties to 9-11 Denial? I have heard that Alex Jones often has Scientologists on his show, but denies any personal involvement in Scientology.

Rosie Pimps Scholars for 9-11 Truth

The folks at 9-11 Blogger are elated that she's text-messaging their stupid stuff, without apparently noticing that Rosie's got top spot on her blogroll devoted to the "Scholars" for 9-11 "Truth". That's right, Rosie's in Uncle Fetzer's corner:



If you click the link, you go to the NEW Scholars for 9-11 Denial website, completely bypassing the old ST911 website, and into the land of Uncle Fetzer and Judy Wood and Kevin Barrett.

Rosie suggests "research" here:

A Type of Kook We've Seen Before

The media and many others assume that the 9-11 Denial movement consists of only members of the far Left. This is a natural assumption, given that the one thing that all "Truthers" have in common is an antipathy to President Bush. But it's a mistaken assumption.

What do last year’s Constitutional Party gubernatorial candidate Mary Starrett and the largely left-wing 9/11 Truth Alliance have in common? A surprising amount, actually.

Starrett, 52, is the first to admit that she is full of contradictions. She’s an anti-war, pro-life Christian, who refers to President Bush as “a joke.” The beer drinking, gun toting, vegetarian ex-smoker also has some controversial views on the U.S. government’s alleged complicity in the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001.

In fact, Starrett fits in well with the rest of the 9-11 kooks. She's another Devvy Kidd, another Alex Jones, another Jason Bermas, another John Conner. If you look at her writings, you can see the same paranoid thread that runs through the entire "Patriot" movement.
