I agree with the premise of the OP's thread.
But having said that, it should be noted that it is highly probable that there are a significant number of people, almost never accounted for in
discussions of 9/11, who either know or think it likely, that 9/11 was an inside job, yet who do not want to see 9/11 investigated and exposed and
will not work for it and may even work against it, actively or passively.
Some of these may well be active in sowing confusion and frustrating movement toward exposure of the government's role in the attack. This fact, as I
believe it to be, doesn't undercut at all, the thrust of the OP's contention that a significant percentage of debunking activity is a 9/11 smoking
gun. I'm just saying that the "topography" of debunkernation is more varied than we acknowledge.
Types of debunkers I have noticed:
1. Blind government loyalists who are not "accessories before or after the fact."
2. Psychologically or emotionally fragile people who can't bring themselves to apply critical thinking to 9/11 because they "can't handle the truth
about their government".
3. Juvenile people who like to tease and get into arguments.
4. People who never think outside the box, in fact never think at all. They are corralled by class, by social position, by career by the wife and
family.
5. People who are in on it, at any level. These are people who agree with the direction of US policy which was kicked off by 9/11. This is a large
group with some well known internet handles on ATS. They just want to make sure that the whole thing comes off properly and that objectives are
reached. Discussions with them are a joke, but from the truther perspective they are useful in helping us to elucidate many details of our
argument.
6. Hired guns. Amoral people, like ad agency types, pollsters, spin doctors, political analysts, who will sell anything. The American spawn of Josef
Goebbels.
7. "Birds of a different feather". These people know the truth but handle it very circumspectly, being careful not to make waves, but well aware of
the hazardous waters they are navigating. This is one of the most dangerous groups of all because of their passivity. "For evil to triumph it is only
necessary that good men do nothing."
This last group has survived war and upheaval through the ages. They have a deep sort of wisdom and contribute to humanity by their industry and the
intelligence they bring to non-political activity, but in the political sphere they are an impediment.
Here's a post from another thread made by a bird of a different feather.

He NEVER should have lied to us... for that there is no and never will be any excuse...
None of the reasons for doing any thing were BAD... or Evil and he demonized America by Lying and assuming (although not HIS call probably) that
Americans and the rest of the world wer too retarded to understand the whole story...
It's something that needs to end from within Govt's...
Shooting down a plane to save lives...was not something that he shoudn't be able to admit... Blowing the Towers to save lives...should be a simple
thing to admit, I mean g-d...if they fell sideways...

Crazy!!!
But the lies are sickening and... I said this in another post... the things people come to believe when lied to...when they know it's not the trth
and start guessing!!!
Oh boy... things get nasty, lol read some of these threads... Cheeny is killing and eating babies and Bush is a coke dealer out to destroy the earth
and everyones guessing who the anti christ is...
a war over resources might not be popular But... can be justified if the consequences are as desperate as they really are...
Once the lies start... the whole countries reputation is shot...
huge mistake... It was done with patriotic Intent... so I say don't impeach...
But... the American people who are...Over reactive and not nearly as educated on global affairs and finance and culture as they should be... needs
some sort of discourse with our leader to...make sure this isn’t needed by the Government...to be treated like children...
some where in here, a failing education system met responsability and action and a giant Lie and embarasment was created from things that...there was
no need for this kind of humiliation and distrust to stem from imho
The above, despite some of the syntactical issues, was written by a highly intelligent man. I don't see how this sort of shrewd person is ever going
to become a truther and without his type on board, the truth movement fails, IMHO.
I think one of the major problems connected to 9/11 is that the American business class has learned to make money in a "bull" market and in a
"bear" market, whether the elephants or the donkies are in power, whether the government is a mass murderer or a new deal savior.
An important class in America has become, not apolitical, but trans-political. They have manouvered themselves into a position "above it all" and no
longer care what the politicians do, as long as they can still do business in the situation.
