You mean poll.
This is a pole:
And, that "one 4 year old pole" is not alone. That's why, I included, the other link, to Wikipedia, which had,
many more, sources, if you
click on it and look at it. Do you see that now at least?
where 36% think that maybe the government may have known more than they are saying. I think that is that special "truther" math where 36% of
16000 respondents thinking that there is a chance that somebody in the government may have known more than we have been lead to believe = millions of
Americans thinking "inside job".
If you think this is "special truther math," then why did the same people who wrote the news article, and obviously
aren't truthers if you
read the article, made the exact same extrapolation?
Third of Americans suspect 9-11 government conspiracy
Maybe because, they just know something about statistics?
Quick and shady statistics are one thing, and they do exist, but this Howard/Ohio University survey and most of the ones listed on the Wikipedia page
are all done scientifically, by a major university or polling company, using accepted facts of statistics.
Those aren't just the polls that the truthers have scraped together on the Wikipedia page, they're ALL major 9/11 polls that have asked these kinds
of questions over the years.
Millions of Americans are asking questions - about health care, the economy, banking regulation, social security, immigration, the environment,
and other real topics.
And what's being done about any of those, realistically? A lot of nothing -- no different than 9/11 activists which have plenty of rallies, marches,
conferences across the globe, supporters in former positions of military and government and across all fields of science. Yet nothing is done, no
different at all from banking regulation, society security, etc.
In fact they have virtually NO oversight on the Federal Reserve, even as to what they did with the vast majority of the bail out money they received.
What's done about
that? Nothing. Exactly the same. All of the government's behaviors reflect the same thing, when it isn't in the
interest of big money and power.
A lot of talk but nothing is done. You know it. The politicians stonewall you, because your interests aren't where the money is, and they do it on
purpose.
An investigation into controlled demolition at the World Trade Center? "Not on the radar" doesn't even begin to describe it.
Take ATS itself as a good survey of this. The 9/11 forums are actually one of the most active forums. In fact take YOURSELF as an example of this
phenomenon. You come here every day!! That is how involved YOU are with the whole controversy.
You think everyone else is different? Everyone isn't on ATS, but 9/11 is still a widely popular controversy. If you don't believe me, all I can
say is get out more often, especially in bigger cities, look up where events are taking place and see for yourself how widespread they are and how
many people are involved. Look at the member lists on the AE911 website or Scholars for Truth or Pilots for Truth or Firefighters for Truth or any of
those organizations. Look at how many lectures and conferences were videotaped and put onto YouTube. Imagine how many more never made it to
YouTube.
You're afraid to consider it honestly, because then you wouldn't be able to keep denying it so easily anymore. The less you know, the easier it is
to deny, I know. But I told you where to look. You can't minimize the whole issue but so much without sounding ridiculous.
