Four years after 9/11 he came forward....why? Everyone has a reason. If he came out in February of 02 I would feel very different.
Jones came along just as the 9/11 Truth Movement was declinig. There was infighting and divisions. A lot of the brighter lights started to see it
for what was becoming - a cult. The 2004 POPULAR MECHANIC article answered a lot of questions for the general public and membership was down.
It has morphed into a rallying point for the angry, the disenfranchised, the paranoid. A loose community with a literature you can add to and new
friends to share your outraged indignation of the the rich and powerful. A politics with no real goal, just the common belief that the US is a
monolithic monster capable of any and all evil.
Jones had a PHD some credibility as a physics professor. Importantly he introduced a new magic word - 'thermite.' So now you can throw that word
around and impress disbelievers. The fact that any form of thermite would not really work as an explosive in a controlled demolition, and that Jones
had done his tests on ordinary paint, were not issues.
So he has gone from being an obscure dismissed prof to a heroic champion of Truth and Justice, with a noble cause. Somewhere along the way there
are a few bucks in it for him, I'd imagine.
