And? What is your point?
My point is that you take offense to categorizing Gold with proponents of CD, yet, by your own admission, you "don't know if he thinks CD is a possibility."

To the fence-sitters or guests on this forum: Wherever people like Jon Gold are mentioned on the net, you'll immediately encounter people like JamesB and Brainster who'll try to associate these people with "space beams", "no planes", "controlled demoliton" etc. Don't believe me, just follow the pattern.
So, by your standards, the Iron Curtain was founded by Winston Churchill because he first mentioned it? Or - hang on - was it founded by Goebbels, when he mentioned it?

[quote=Childlike Empress;3838508](edit @JamesB, hello Brainster) Yeah, and as everyone who uses their brain knows, we can't take a position beside of "the official story is not the whole story" because we don't have access to evidence. The "alternative hypothesis" challenge is laugably stupid.

Oh, fence-sitters again. JamesB and Brainster are the two persons behind the screw loose change blog. A place where everybody including Nico Haupt, a german actor dealing in realsatire is welcome as long as he is smearing activists.[/quote]

Hahahaha, Norton just buries him. How awesome.

Here's the hero himself, right behind the equally sexy Mandy Moore at Saturday's UFC show.



Not sure who the guy behind him is, but it looks like he'd be able to to start the power plant at the end of Total Recall.

The OP never bothered to actually discuss the video, but rather simply present it as spam. Perhaps if she had bothered to actually bring up the points of the video, there would be a much more fruitful discussion. But instead, in typical twoofer fashion, she decides to present someone else's video as her argument rather than make one.

My dear Empress, we know who Jon Gold is and what "he's all about." He's gotten much worse in the last year.

Sorry for resurrecting at random one of the threads with the tag "Jon Gold". I just have to report that I have found the place where the real truth movement happens: In the middle of traffic where everybody just wants to hurry home.

Jon is crating a series of YT videos these days where he is literally preaching to a lamp post and proud of it - I am not making this up:

Jan 05: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G1xZY8XH8E
Jan 07: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nYUtqp5ZCc
Jan 09: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8DGQis-LVA

(Videos are only between 1:12 and 2:37 minutes - click for the dada lulz!)

Oh crimes he's in Philly. On route 1.

5 seconds in he says he "just got a honk" just after when a light changes.

Nope, no chance that could be a driver impatient with how fast another car is making the turn. No siree....

Holy moly, Oystein, now this bump is a flashback with some "characters" involved (and obviously some "hard breaks", oh the good old times of "moderation").

From the additional information, I conclude that the non-working video in the OP is this one:

Jon, the FBI did the investigation, and it was the biggest in history. Jon's BS is political claptrap. Jon adds BS about political opinions and lies. At least Jon does not support the idiotic claims CIT had.

Nope, just BS on the political side of 9/11 truth. (jon, you are acting paranoid, and have failed to make a valid point) Better luck with Bigfoot out in western PA.

It really is quite sad that he wastes his time hanging out on street corners. He mentioned a few times in his interviews that he was in an accident and paralyzed; I suppose he's got nothing else to do.

Note as well that although Gold claims he's not a conspiracy theorist, that he's just looking for answers, he lets the mask slip a bit in the first video where he says, "9-11 was not a Muslim crime."

What would interest me about Jon.... is when/if presented with arguments of why the inside job / CD makes no sense how would he respond? Would he accept them? Understand them? Even be interested in them? What would it take for him to see the deception of so many of the truth presentations? He seems motivated by "justice" for the survivor families and there is nothing wrong with this. If justice has been denied... how so? What would that look like to him? More compensation? Or would it involve identifying and punishing the people behind the event... whomever they are?

His unwavering mantra is "We have been lied to about 9/11", but apparently he is fine with associating with anybody who lies the living hell out of 9/11, as long as it's not the "government's" lies.

Therein lies a tragedy. I agree that "the government" has passed a few lies about stuff in the orbit around 9/11, and some of those lies may still be uncorrected and not redressed. Perhaps. But as long as Jon is part of the hugely discredited Twoof Movement, no one can take him serious.

He (along with well-meaning and perhaps not totally wrong-being folks like our paloalto, jimd, shure) should change his act, reach out to groups like us and celebrities like Jon Stewart.

Institutional CYA is the rule rather than the exception.

A bunch of folks all across the spectrum failed to connect the dots, even when some individuals farther down the chain of command started to point it out.

It's a common issue in LE that command may have a priority order to focus on a particular type of criminal activity or a criminal group and ignore intelligence developed by officers that don't fit the administrators enforcement agenda.

I believe a bunch of that went down wrt 9/11.
