The Utter Hypocrisy of the 9/11 Truth Movement
By NWO Sentryman.
I noticed some arguments about September 11 over the past few weeks, with ad hominem attacks by both sides (tWOOfers, evil, fascist, shill etc.). Then one of them said something odd.
they said that this is an orwellian world. What is Orwellian? Is it something the government does? What is the definition of an Orwellian world?
The word was uttered in the debate over Building 7 and Larry Silverstein's “pull it” comment. The 9/11 truther said something along the lines of the Orwellian twisting of the language with regards to "pull it". But how is this orwellian?
In 1984, there is a language called newspeak, which is designed to restrict mankind's vocabulary. This makes it easier for total control by the Party of the Proles and Outer Party, because it suppresses thoughts, as how can one think when there are no words to describe them? Such thoughts come under Crimethink, or thought crime. The Thought Police then come and send the offender to be made an Unperson, or obliterated. If this were an Orwellian world, we’d all be brainwashed into believing Saddam had WMDs and that they were found.
But hang on? Are the Truthers being Orwellian themselves? Newspeak is also used to deceive the population into thinking "war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength" per the famous slogan. Basically, this is rewriting language so it is the opposite of what it means. Newspeak is also used to find euphemisms for unpleasant things. For example, “collateral damage” means civilians were killed in oldspeak.
Thus, we see the hypocrisy of the 9/11 truth movement. They call themselves Truth, yet espouse horrendous lies, such as Lasers or Nuclear weapons destroyed the World Trade Centre. This is newspeak, in the sense that the Ministry of Truth spreads Lies, the Ministry of peace actually keeps people at war and the Ministry of Plenty actually keeps rations down.
Another example of newspeak is constricting definitions. For example, the truth movement constrict the definition of Pull it to mean controlled demolition. That is newspeak. How? Because the Truth movement keeps making people think “Pull it” has only one meaning. Pull it is indeed used in demolition, but is used in regards to cables and not using explosives. Pull it could also mean pulling the contingent of firefighters out of building 7, or it could mean abort the effort to fight the fires.
Such misuse of 1984 analogies as well as the hypocrisy by the people making such analogies cheapens the word and the totalitarian nightmare in the novel. But there are times when it is relevant, such as Stalin's Russia, North Korea, Hoxha's Albania etc. The World of 2009 is Not 1984. Orwell would turn in his grave at the misuse of his analogies. 1984 was meant as a criticism of Stalinism and communism in General (Ingsoc).
Another thing. Truthers like to call their opponents "fascist". But hang on? What is the definition of Fascism? George Orwell noted that it was used more wildly in speech than by print. For example, Fascism applied to dogs, Priestley's broadcasts, Chiang Kai Sheik etc. and that it had already lost all meaning by 1946. He was right. Nowadays, Fascism means "something not pleasant". With no proper definition of Fascist, anyone can apply the label to anybody. In My opinion, it lost all meaning around the time Orwell wrote the essay “What is fascism?”
My definition of fascism? a centralised dictatorship with all power in a person or group of people. The entire economy is militarised, with there being absolute state control of the media, stifling of dissent and totalitarian police state. America fails to meet ANY of the criteria. The legislative and judicial branches still have a lot of power. Talk to Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Amy Goodman etc with regards to dissent and media control. If the US economy was geared only for war, then why is the US defense budget only c. 21% of the total budget, behind medicare?
Truthers are fascist in the sense that they stifle debate (For example, representativepress was booted off the loose change forums for raising doubts). That is complete and utter hypocrisy in the sense of the term fascist. The Truthers claim to be anti-fascist; they stifle debate in the same way as the fascists did in Italy and Germany.
Truthers also claim that the other side pushes pseudo-scientific evidence. They claim that the World Trade Centre’s destruction was the result of controlled demolition. But the twin towers had been hit with a fully loaded Boeing 747. Controlled demolition also prevents rubble flying everywhere. How come huge chunks of debris hit building 7. They also trumpet pseudoscientific evidence, i.e. Thermite blowing up buildings, missiles hitting the pentagon etc.
Finally, they complain of Ad Hominem attacks being levied against them. They are right with regards to the words tWOOfer, Troofer etc. But what do they call their opponents? Government agents. Shill. Disinfo Agents. CIA plant. Thus they are hypocritical in many ways. They also complain of debate being suppressed. Yet, see representativepress.
All in all, i can conclude that the 9/11 truth movement is riddled with Hypocrisy and pseudoscience.
