Debunk This, My Aunt Petunia



This is a series that's getting a fair amount of attention from the Truthers, which goes through fluoride in the drinking water, FEMA death camps, Tim McVeigh, etc. This episode is on the 9-11 Commission and contains the usual quote mining of John Farmer, Tom Kean, Tim Roemer and others, with the predictable conclusion that "we need another investigation."

Of course, the video ignores the fact that the lies the military told to the Commission go against the most popular conspiracy theories. The military tried to claim that it knew about the hijacked planes (especially Flight 93) before it actually did. The video also ignores that the Commission discovered the lies before issuing its report, and, as John Farmer said in an interview:

John Farmer- Well, let me just say that I think the [9-11 Commission] report is, uh, extremely accurate, and- and sets forth the facts of 9/11. And we actually did point out in the report the discrepancies between the accounts that were given and what we actually found.


You won't see Change Duh Channel mining that quote anytime soon.
