You've got me wrong, my friend. I am not now and never was a truther.
I seek the truth.... but sometimes even I'll admit that a lie is more comfortable, like watching TV and taking comfort in its plastic fakery for some
reason... instead of using my brain.
Although I must ask why you would think genuine truth seekers in the "Truth Movement" would revel in this sort of thing. I mean... if you don't
forget about this stuff every once in a while and just enjoy life (EDIT: or at least become preoccupied with it), you're liable to have a few mental
breakdowns in a row... because the hits just keep on coming. The lies just keep on being stripped away, and comfort is less and less accessible. Why
would I seriously want this? Do you know how many times I've tried to forget a glaringly obvious lie with the farthest reaching implications
imaginable? Do you lose sleep at night over this? Cuz sometimes, I do... when I'm no too busy trying to cover up my horrible discomfort by burying
myself in my own selfishness and denial.
I've read enough on the subject. For a while, I attempted to debunk building 7, but found that all of the data in the world flung at me at once
couldn't cover my eyes to what I saw.
I'm not saying that all involved in the NIST studies were Nazis or government shills, but that doesn't mean they weren't biased. What scientist
trying to do his country a service while also trying to keep his funding and reputation wouldn't be biased, even if they themselves would probably
not think so?
It's the unfortunate downfall of American Philosophy. We could do no wrong, unless the government admits it. Then, it's okay and we can forgive and
forget, yet we're perfectly fine writing it off as a one time thing and ignoring all the other "one time things" that have happened and everything
else bubbling up just under the surface because of this selfish delusion we're all locked into. What would that do to our everyday lives if we really
admitted that this is all a falsehood? That veil of illusion is a very thin, but very provocative surface (like a silky fine mesh), and once the veil
is removed, you can't go back to being under the veil without knowing that there EXISTS a veil and that it is brighter and clearer to see without
it.
I don't blame the people of NIST as a collective. I blame the oversight of superiors, I blame economic narrow mindedness ingrained in us from a very
early age, and I blame American Pride/Ignorance/Apathy/Bias.
Simple stuff.

... no one believes anymore. It did take me a long time starting when I was the poster formerly known as "Slap Nuts" but no one believes
this crap. Sadly, many are trying to save ther IRAs from destruction, homes from foreclosure or just happy to be hanging on... I think we have moved
now to where the majority feels trapped in many regards and sadly 9/11 is just one of those things they "can do nothing about".
