My trouble..

and I really do mean this sincerely (I want to believe)

..

is that I wish these people wouldn't resort to such propagandist (whatever that word should be) language.

It's emotive, biased and unhelpful.

"gangster government", "first line of offense", "EVERYTHING", "bankrupting the nation"

I've been through all this at work recently. The people who are fighting on the right side harm their cause by seeming to be unbalanced (in a non-mental sense of the word - I mean just lacking balance).

I should probably make a blog of this really, but it's frustrating to see someone with 2 or 3 really good questions incorporate them into a 3 minute rant that allows the opposition to simply say "moving on.." and leave it at that.

(I don't think I would make a blog of it though because as things stand I could get me or my better half into trouble).

"That's an internet theory and it's hopelessly implausible. Hopelessly implausible. So hopelessly implausible I don't see any point in talking about it."
—Noam Chomsky, at a FAIR event at New York's Town Hall, 22 January 2002, in response to a question from the audience about US government foreknowledge of 9/11.
The problem is that when confronted with a pile of actual *evidence* this is the response. Nothing gets investigated because the mainstream media, far from being "balanced", do not even ask the questions!!! What they do report on, however, are the ranters. They of course are very easy to shoot down as loonies, while of course ignoring any evidence they may have......

I think that's kind of my point.

But I guess the questions don't get answered either way so who wins?

you can only answer the questions yourself by investigating for yourself. Once your eyes have been opened to the probabilities it's a bottomless rabbit hole.
I still maintain however that 9/11 truth is the key to a change of political will worldwide. "The world changed" on 9/11. It can change again.
