Altsuffers ought to read this:

This is from a blog called Confessions of an Ex-Truther, subtitled "The Ranting and Raving of Someone Who Wasted a Year of His Life Being Sucked Into the Lies, Distortions and Misrepresentations of the 9/11 Truth Movement." He formerly co-founder of 9/11 Truth UAlbany.

Some choice excerpts:

"I watched a movie called Screw Loose Change. I expected it to point out a few corrections in some minor details of the film. To my surprise, it contested just about every claim in the entire movie. I was a bit shocked.

"I was a true believer of all this controlled demolition nonsense for a time. I never cared about the physics or the claims of pseudo-"experts." What always did it for me was the fact that there was never a decent response to any of these questions by the government. Even the hit pieces you'd see on 9/11 were always personal attacks. The mainstream never contested the actual "facts" movies like Loose Change presented.

"Or so it seemed. After watching Screw Loose Change, I delved into the world of 9/11 Truth debunking. Among my favorites are the Screw Loose Change Blog and 9/11 Myths Finally, someone was answered all these pertinent questions with something that was a bit foreign to me... facts agreed upon by the experts.

"There are no facts in the 9/11 Truth Movement. Just a lot of theories, which eventually break down to 'hey, we're just asking questions' if someone questions the validity of such. No structural, civil, or any engineers agree with the truthers. Yet, most of my friends will try to explain the hard physics involved in structural collapses. None of these people are engineers, physicists, or even in a scientific field, for that matter. Someone's supposed to take their word over an expert's?

"The truthers will just tell you that all the experts are 'in on it.' Yeah, sure. Every engineer in the world is complicit in the government's murder of 3,000 people. And so are the firemen, who apparently ordered Larry Silverstein to 'pull' Building 7. The truthers' misrepresentation of Silverstein's quote is one of the most popular 'facts' to spit out, but in doing so, you are effectively in agreement that firefighters were not only involved in the controlled demolition of WTC7, but they are also aiding and abetting in the government's cover-up. Yeah, every firefighter who was out there on 9/11 is going to be complicit in the MURDER OF 343 OF THEIR FALLEN BROTHERS! To quote Loose Change co-creator Jason Bermas, 'the firefighters are paid off.'

"This is absolute horsesh*t, which brings me to why I've formally distanced myself from this sorry excuse for a movement."

Pish posh science!  They know the twoof!  Our government is all powerful and uber competent  and constantly pulls of grand master plans that only a select few real thinkers figure out.  Damn the man!
