I only read the first 2 lines & I knew you were one of uslifeinthed wrote:I'll probably get criticised and accused for having just signed up but... I wanted to add my support here for commanderson and others. We have to hold our 9/11 "prophets" up to the same scrutiny that they tell us we should use on others. They taught us to not blindly trust what we're told anymore and be suspicious of all the message-bearers, and the practice of these newfound scrutinizing abilities should start with (or at least include heavily at some point) they themselves! I find myself falling for it all the time all over again. I have to pull myself back for a moment and have a little internal dialogue telling myself not to get too carried away with any one particular truth seeker's viewpoints. After all what's the difference between trusting the mainstream media like it was the beacon of all hope, and doing the same thing with one of our "prophets"? If I distrusted the mainstream source because I knew they were telling lies, does that mean that the prophet (sorry, can't be bothered finding a better word) is telling the truth and shouldn't be questioned too? Wouldn't doing that mean that I hadn't learnt anything from all this? We all know that deploying counter-intelligence agents is well within the grasp of the people we're fighting, and you can bet your house that when these people come they'll be disguised as our best friends. So not only is it reasonable to have doubts about David Shayler, especially considering his background, it's bloody essential if we're ever going to have a chance of winning this. They're a potential bullet in the whole movements head (well, leg maybe) if there's any truth to the suspicions, and we're talking about a movement trying to move humanity away from longlasting enslavement, tyranny, whatever, this is pretty bloody serious stuff, so people who bring it up shouldn't just be laughed down or insulted away on here. So no offence to Annie or David or anyone, but this cause is of such massive importance that you're probably going to be thoroughly grilled at the first signs of anything dodgy.
Admittedly this kind of thinking doesn't leave much room for trusting anyone ultimately... I'm probably about 2½ steps short of full-on tinfoil hat paranoia, shows how messed up these evil f*ckers have made this world. But anyway, just my tuppence worth.
