Ready Room, The Intent Behind It
1) Privacy away from "skeptics" is the main rule.
2) All general forum rules apply here in full.
Many times we get in arguments amongst ourselves that have no place in the public view. This is a place for CIVIL discussions on our varying viewpoints to benefit 9/11 truth in the big picture. Differences will be TOLERATED amongst 9/11 truth supporters here.
This is a place for us to encourage each other and get away from JREFers. Keep things as positive as we can here to refresh ourselves.
The password can be given to people who support 9/11 truth ONLY. DO NOT let me find out the password was leaked by you to our antagonists! The password may need to be periodically changed.
This will be run on a pseudo democracy. If somebody posts ANY anti-9/11 truth arguments they will be:
1) Suspended from LC forums for 7 days for first violation.
2) Suspended for 30 days for second violation.
3) Banned for 3rd violation.
This is OUR space.
If somebody is posting anti-9/11 truth antagonism here, please report the post and let us deal with it.
Create a group strategy for dealing with the skeptics here and employ it in the main forums. In other words, they do it and so should we. We have to use the same strategy as our opponents. Create an evidential presentation to respond to criticism in the general forums here, and then go work as a team to expose the fallacy in the skeptic's argument. Show them what we stand on. This is about information.
Please make the most of this and make it work. Unity and teamwork!

I was thinking of sueing you or one of your websites based on the premise that learning the truth about 911 has caused me severe mental anguish. ACLU lawyer maybe? Do you think that might get some mainstream media coverage? Is this idea viable or should I just stick to telling everyone like I have been doing?
Let me know...sincerely keep it up !

Information Distribution Methods
[GermaniumGeorge]
Aside from handing items to people directly, I also enjoy "planting" items here and there. I particularly enjoy a random DVD drop. Places to put DVD's, Fliers, and any other material:
Inside newspapers
- $.50 and you can stuff a whole box of newspapers with whatever you want
On walls
- a single page and a roll of tape and you can mount a flier anywhere
On tables
- in bars, shopping centers, laundry mats, or anywhere there's a traffic flow and a table top
My newest method is mailing "starter packs" to people, including press and government. These packs will include 30-150 printed pages, materials varying according to who is receiving them, and also a DVD or two for viewing for most. Priority Mail has a flat rate envelope for $4.10, or for the less urgent mailings I can send a kit for ~$2 via media mail. My favorite print outs include the "Patriots Question 911" pdf for general press, Steven E Jones' paper for the eggheads, and I mix NY911truth fliers into the mix.
I was wanting to ask for some feedback about an idea I have, but have not yet implemented due to concerns about its effects. What kind of repercussions would there be with sending troops DVD's? I know they would have to be covertly labeled, with some top movie printed on the DVD rather than its real title. One may even need to copy the main menu from said movie if they're sent in jewel cases, or go the extent of copying or using that same movie's clamshell case.
My concerns, though, are as to what kind of trouble could the recipient land in. Also, would it be better if the DVD's are sent through third party donation sites, or would that just be a wasted step and delay. This wouldn't go very far, so the effort would need to be a brief and large wave of DVD's because soon the cover would be blown and DVD's would be further scrutinized. It would be a one time effort most likely. Please, nobody take this idea and run with it. If it's going to be done a coordinated effort would increase its usefulness 10 fold
Could There Be Human Cloning Involved?, ...a strange theory, I know.
I am kind of hesitant to put this in the open forums, because it sounds so crazy, but I wanted to get an idea if any of you hardcore truthers have given any thought to the possibility that some of the hijackers could have been clones.
We know our government has sophisticated technology that the public doesn't have.
If the U.S. government has perfected human cloning, then I wonder if the whole martial law which they are planning might include a clone army. I know it sounds weird, and I'm not professing this as the truth, just hypothesing for a moment and trying to think outside of the box.
Star Wars anyone?
Some Yoda might shed some light...
"Blind we are, if creation of this clone army, we could not see."
Jref Tips, Refresher Course
As you know the policy of banning JREF members on sight here at the Loose Change forums has been changed. Since I supported that change, I have taken it upon myself to venture on an experiment of experiencing their world first hand to make up my own mind. I joined October 17th and gave most of my attention there for 2 weeks to be fair in my evaluation.
I have learned that I had way overestimated their intentions and standards. I still 100% support their presence here simply based on the 1st Amendment. We are fighting an administration that is trying to remove those rights from us and using 9/11 and the "war on terror" as an excuse. We should not become what we hate.
So my response here is the best way I can balance their rights and give us the upper hand in the dialogue. Also, recognize that no group of people can be stereotyped. I am dealing in generalities here. There are a few good people over there and one or two good researchers.
Keep in mind that the 9/11 truth movement is nowhere near perfect. We can benefit from the challenge presented by JREFers. They can help us fact check and think our positions through more thoroughly. We can improve because of them.
The following is what I have learned.
RULE NUMBER 1 - At ALL times, no matter what, take the high road!!
No matter how frustrated you get, take a deep breath, wait a minute before you reply and remember what it is we are representing. Even if you "lose" a round of discussion or find out you may have a factual error, the way to win
every single time is to take the high road about it. Where I have failed in my arguments I have gone out to find out why and inevitably I end up discovering more evidence that supports the position that 9/11 is a conspiracy. Be patient.
Disinformation tactics are used in TV commercials, political campaigns and military strategy world wide. JREFers are very good at it. I am not accusing anybody of being an "agent". Just consider all possibilities.
I have found that the number one strategy of the antagonistic JREFers is the following rule:
QUOTE 5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary attack the messenger ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as "kooks", "right-wing", "liberal", "left-wing", "terrorists", "conspiracy buffs", "radicals", "militia", "racists", "religious fanatics", "sexual deviates", and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.
Example: "You believe what you read in the Spotlight? The Publisher, Willis DeCarto, is a well-known right-wing racist. I guess we know your politics -- does your Bible have a swastika on it? That certainly explains why you support this wild-eyed, right-wing conspiracy theory."
Proper response: You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your imply guilt by association and attack truth on the basis of the messenger. The Spotlight is a well known Populist media source responsible for releasing facts and stories well before mainstream media will discuss the issues through their veil of silence. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 5 - sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule)?
http://www.benfrank.net/disinfo/
This appears to be their number two rule:
QUOTE 18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can't do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how "sensitive they are to criticism".
Example: "You are such an idiot to think that possible -- or are you such a paranoid conspiracy buff that you think the 'gubment' is cooking your pea-brained skull with microwaves, which is the only justification you might have for dreaming up this drivel." After a drawing an emotional response: "Ohhh... I do seemed to have touched a sensitive nerve. Tsk, tsk. What's the matter? The truth too hot for you to handle? Perhaps you should stop relying on the Psychic Friends Network and see a psychiatrist for some real professional help..."
Proper response: "You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. You attempt to draw me into emotional response without discussion of the issues. If you have something useful to contribute which defeats my argument, let's here it -- preferably without snide and unwarranted personal attacks, if you can manage to avoid sinking so low. Your useless rhetoric serves no purpose here if that is all you can manage. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 18 - emotionalize, antagonize, and goad opponents)?

Familiarize yourself with all 25 rules on that link. But
DON'T quote the rule back at them every time. I have made them aware of the rules and if they are overused it just gets old. But do arm yourself and be aware.
The main weakness over there is that they are VERY dependent on one person. They have a leader. I can promise you that I have seen them repeat the same old stuff over and over. I have also seen in the materials they depend on just as much "cherry picking", manipulation, and distortion that they try and accuse us of.
We don't have a leader. We don't need one. If every single one of us researches a different angle and learns everything we can, then we can defeat a system with a primary source of information by all being leaders in our own specialty!
Another weakness in their strategy in my opinion is the hypocrisy. They seem to widely believe if there is a cover up of 9/11, it is due to the USG covering their butts due to incompetency. But they are not doing a single thing to research and expose that cover up. Instead, they have launched an attack on Loose Change and the citizens of America who ask questions. ANY cover up of 9/11 is unacceptable to me. I perceive what most of us are doing is at least trying to get to the truth. I can not say the same for them.
One of their biggest arguments revolves around who is behind 9/11 and what the motive is. My belief is that not the whole government is in on it. I believe a small element of people related to the PNAC within our government have hijacked us. JREFers try to spin the "new Pearl Harbor" quote. Be clear of what the implications of the document Rebuilding America's Defenses are all about.
Here is a post I made over there to make it crystal clear and highly suggest reading the PNAC quotes there beyond the infamous Pearl Harbor quote:

The JREF/LC dialogue is not going to go away. They will persistently pursue their goals and organize themselves to do so. It is
100% up to us how we handle it. Research and information is the cure. When all else fails, see rule number 1.
RULE NUMBER 1 - At ALL times, no matter what, take the high road!!
While they are here, please treat them as guests. Do not behave as they do toward us when we visit there. Stay ahead of the game. If you have specific problems with violations of LC forum rules, just report the post and I will deal with it fairly.

What Is Our Goal?, Let's discuss it.
Some of you may think I am a hard ass on you at times. I apologize. I feel it would be best if I explain the goals that Dylan has for the forums and my personal beliefs that dictate how I manage the forums. Pardon me if I sound too intense at times.
This as we know is an information war. We want to win minds and hearts so that eventually we have enough people to get our country, our rights and our Constitution back. Millions sleep totally unaware of the things that are common knowledge to us.
We are battling with a MASSIVE machine. A well planned, calculated group of people with unlimited resources. People with values that are completely opposed to individual rights and liberty. People who have the minds of the masses affixed to a propaganda light box most of the free time they have.
We have a VERY limited opportunity to make our point. Right now we are 40 years ahead of the JFK investigation mainly because of the electronic media of the times including this forum. 83% of Americans now have a doubt about the "official" story of 9/11. The rest of the world is on fire regarding their interest in it.
Loose Change is a phenomenon. It is because there is a craving for the truth to fill the void of intuitive doubt that most people have. Trust me when I say that LC Final Cut is going to have even more power and distribution. This is the key to why the forums are being recreated.
In a few months or so the film is going to hit with a bang. That is going to bring people here. What Dylan is working towards is that when they do, they will find the answers they are looking for in a reasonable place. They may spend two hours watching the film but they could spend 10 hours reading here.
We will be on the front lines of that battle. Why do you think the dickheads are here? To draw us off center and to make us appear ridiculous and ineffective. Imagine that every number on how many times a thread has been read represents a real person. A person who does not join but reads our every word and observes our demeanor - everything we do. Then imagine that they judge 9/11 truth by our behavior.
Picture a woman sitting in Minnesota and finding this site because she is troubled about the changes in her country. Picture her looking for answers. She plugs in and lands here. She sees topics she is curious about and has never found any information on and is excited to learn. She starts to read...........
Imagine an older gentlemen in Arizona who served our country and is retired. He is disgusted with what our administration has done to the freedoms he sacrificed his arm for. He wants to understand this. He is inclined to be logical and rational. He had never considered a conspiracy theory in his life but he knows something is wrong. He starts to read..........
What do these people see? A fight? Name calling? Self righteous behavior? Arguing over petty details? Skeptics that seem rational and kooks that are off the edge? Really look at ourselves through their eyes. What do they see?
Do you really want to win this battle? Do you want to win the war?
If so, then read on. Maybe we don't REALLY get what is directed at us to make us unsuccessful. We play "who's the agent" and ramble about plots against us but what is REALLY happening?
We are very subtly being led to implode on ourselves. We are being divided from within. We are being led down a path to look like crazy ***holes. And guess what? We are walking right down it.
Read this rule of disinfo:
QUOTE 18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can't do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and
draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how "sensitive they are to criticism".

I hate to tell you this, but we ain't gonna spot the agent. Half of the people that antagonize us are only being sheep. They aren't even conscious of what they are doing. The Wizard is behind the curtain. The puppet master is down behind the stage or up above it pulling strings.
SKEPTICS:
1) Have
ZERO interest in facts and will NEVER respond to them.
2) Are here ONLY to antagonize.
3) Are currently beating us way too frequently.
WE ARE:
1) Aware of what is going on.
2) Are properly motivated to help the world.
3) Are misguided, disorganized and divided.
RULES FOR WINNING:
1) ALWAYS keep in mind every time we type that we are REALLY talking to the man in Arizona and the woman in Minnesota.
2) Remember our every action and word may be the first impression a stranger may have of 9/11 truth.
3) The ONLY way to defeat a skeptic is to be classy and dignified no matter what. Even if they temporarily defeat an argument, we win.
4) RESEARCH and EVIDENCE is power.
5) UNITY is essential.
6) Patience is a weapon.
7) True commitment goes beyond our own egos.
8) Endurance will ALWAYS prevail.
9) Victory is sweet when combined with humility.
10) In the end, Truth will ALWAYS win.
Dig deeper, fight gracefully and wait for the victory. NOTHING is going to happen fast here. If you want to win it IS going to be painful at times. How important is it to you?
