Just imagine the cultish mindset you must have to think that because people do not agree with your assessment, they therefore must be guilty of a crime. Consider if you think OJ really did kill (I do) his wife and her lover, and then people come along accusing you of being complicit in their murder. Astounding stuff there.

Hi Childlike Empress,
It's been a year now since your post, so... How "soon" is "soon"? Should I start "worry"ing already? How granular (if that's what you mean) is justice going? Can you point me to the progress of justice in this field, please, so I can evaluate by myself if I should "worry"? I hope your rationalization batteries are fully charged, because this is going to deplete them. |

You mean windmill cancer nut?
The liar in chief can't be a truther. Wait, truthers are liars, does that not make clownstick overqualified to be a truther. Is it possible truthers are clueless that they are liars? yes |

It's been two years now. How "soon" is "soon"?
Should I start "worry"ing already? How granular (if that's what you mean by "grainual") is justice going, and where can we see the results so far? Was the denial of Ansgar Schneider's visa part of these results? http://www.internationalskeptics.com...6#post12820076 |

We're closer to "soon" than we were last year.

If 9/11 happened on Trump's watch, he would definitely believe that it was a Deep State plot against him.

"soon" = never, in 9/11 truth land of woo
Nope clownstick is an idiot, you are the NoC truther.
You got this right, but NoC wrong... it takes the application of critical thinking skills to get out of 9/11 truth. Idiots who believe in paranoid conspiracy theories like 9/11 truthers will not die out, ignorance is hard to defeat. There are always new gullible paranoid humans who blindly believe liars who spread idiotic claims, like 9/11 truth does. Check is in the mail. How soon will you and other 9/11 truth believers be able to debunk the NoC and other 9/11 truth lies and paranoid claims? Clownstick debunked 9/11 truth and he has no clue he did. |

Much like the return of Jesus, the conspiracy theory is always just around the corner. Just as an example, the world population is over 7 billion, and the depopulation conspiracy theories have been around for decades. From the nutzlozer Esser to nuclear weapons to AIDS to vaccines to corona virus, "they" are always planning to reduce the world population, and yet it still grows.

If Trump were to believe that 9/11 was an inside job then that would be 99.9% proof that it was because he has access to government top secret records. That'd make him be in the right.
You can really see the power of skeptic logic here. |

No, no, no, you've missed a bit. If Trump believes 9/11 was an inside job, that proves an inside job, because he has access to all the secrets; but if he doesn't believe it was an inside job, that's either because the deep state has hidden the truth from him or because he's been a disinformation agent all along, and the whole point of the Trump Presidency has been to discredit the conspiracy theories by presenting the illusion of a President so deeply anti-establishment that he'd be bound to uncover evidence for a conspiracy if any existed, so if he hasn't then it can't. Basically, everything proves the conspiracy, even disproof of the conspiracy. If what you're saying is in the same universe as the concept of logic, you're getting it wrong.

As soon as someone finds the link between 9/11 and Obama, it was an Inside Job.

Except that we have multiple examples now of Trump being told something by his own government agents, and still believing the opposite thing is true. The intelligence services were telling him in January that COVID-19 would be a problem. He denied that at the time, and continues to deny it now, even after almost 150,000 deaths in the US. The intelligence services were telling him that Russia acted to illegally influence the 2016 election, and he still insists that Russia had nothing to do with it. He insists that, in fact, Ukraine was the one illegally influencing the 2016 election, even though his own intelligence services can find zero evidence for this claim. Even his own hand-picked minions like Rudy Giuliani couldn't find the evidence for him, but he continues to make this claim. He insists that "millions" of fraudulent votes were cast in 2016, despite his own investigation turning up virtually zero evidence of voter fraud on any scale, let alone an organized fraud involving millions of ballots. So there would be nothing surprising in him expressing belief in the standard Truther Talking Points, even if he'd reviewed every single classified document available to the US government, and found that they contained no evidence for an inside job, and copious evidence that it was bin Laden and Al Qaeda that did it. |

Whatever Trump think is best for Trump right now, that is the truth. So today, 9/11 Truth is the truth, but 10 minutes from now it will not be. Then it will be again tomorrow. Or the day after. In two weeks...

Beyond that which was supplied by NASA, and the empirical evidence linked above, which anyone can test for themselves? Means, motive, and opportunity, Daddy-o! But don't forget the bouncing smoke plume!
