Scamming the morons Gage:

...We must find a way to cutback if our income does not rise substantially.
Howz about no more Euro vacations? Just a thought.


Even twoofers can't be so dim, as to not see this as a scam, right?

I had a cool $1,000 ready to send him if he could prove explosives would survive the impacts and fire.


Shocking as it may seem, he didn't take me up on the offer.

I find this part especially amusing:

How do you know who your local supporters are when they haven’t even been activated yet?

The best part, he is making money off of people who can't figure out 911; self-critiquing. You must be joking, there are only about 0.01 percent of all people who fall for the moronic nonsense of Gage.

hey! Gage has a lifestyle to maintain.....spending half A&E911 income on his Salary and air travel (not to mention some very dubious "operating expenses" jaunting around the world convincing foreigners that the US needs a new inquiry (wait, wouldn't convincing Americans be more useful???....oh well...)
I'm sure he is spending the money wisely

A truther I know IRL recently rescinded his AE911Truth membership, but he is still a truther. He said he still gets calls from them though for donations; most recently it was an automated message from Gage.

I am reminded of a standard cliche of video game RPGs: "You are the only one who can save the world, legendary hero...but I'm still going to charge you full price for that sword".

You too can learn the Truth necessary to defeat the evil NWO...but you gotta pay for it, pal.

Well if you think about it Legendary Hero pay is high enough to pay for it. I mean they always seem to have what they need sooner or later...

according to their website AE911Truth is a 501c3, and donations are tax deductible. I'd be curious to see the form they filled out to get that status.

according to their Form 990, their 2009 revenue was $344K and their expenses were $338K, over $100K in which went to salaries, mostly to Gage.

Yep. These numbers are not out of the ordinary for such special interest non-profits. It's interesting, maybe revealing, but not s such a sign of dishonesty ar any other form of malice. Just something to be kept in the back of our minds.

By the way, the 2009 form was submitted in june 2010, so we are waiting for the 2010 form already. However, the 2007 and 2008 forms took much longer.

Aparently, yes.

It's not a bad thing that they have this status. Up until then there was no way to track the money. The USG still gets tax revenue from "salaries".

Personally I think this hurts AE, now everyone ("truthers" too) are seeing how much money it costs to have Gage as a spokesperson. Now all they have to do is justify that with results. You know, "what have you done for us lately".
