Good Article on Conspiracy Theories

At (gasp) the Huffington Post.

Many of these popularizers received their lofty titles from "think tanks" or "institutes" that are run out of somebody's PO box or den. Almost none of them have credentials or professional experience in the field they're holding forth on -- and the ones that do have relevant qualifications are more often than not regarded as embarrassments by their colleagues. And so it happens that David Ray Griffin, the leading author of books on the 9/11 conspiracy, isn't an aviation expert, physicist, structural engineer, or authority on terrorism; he's a retired theology professor who asks his readers to take a lot on faith.

Despite the lack of academic or professional cred (or perhaps because of it), the folks who promote conspiracy theories go overboard to put a thick veneer of scholarship on their claims. Books and essays are ostentatiously footnoted; but the references typically link back to even more obscure conspiracy publications with even flimsier evidence -- or else to other works written by the same author, in a self-reinforcing loop.


Yep. Remember that recent DRG article that repeated the claim that several of the hijackers were alive? Well, Grifter has learned from past mistakes; instead of linking the BBC article from 2001, which now has the correction appended, he instead referenced The New Pearl Harbor.

Worth the read.

That correct, Sara.

And as I've said for many years, citing a conspiracy website is not evidence--it's a circle jerk (aka, self-reinforcing loop).

Other tricks are:

- citing sources that don't really back your claims. Often the citation is so vauge that it is all but impossible to check. Some of DRG's footnotes include only the publication and date, i.e. he omits the title, author and page # of the article. Since he paraphrases this makes it difficult to find what he was referring to unless one wants to look through the entire publication

- providing footnotes for things that aren't disputed but leaving the controversial ones undocumented.

Good point, Len.

In fact, I've caught troofers misrepresenting their sources on hundreds of occasions.

Troofers are shameless liars and con artists.

GBill, your lack of reading comprehension skill is not the same as truthers misrepresenting sources.

I shoved that down your throat a few of Pat's posts ago if you recall.

And no this isn't Brian, GB. This is the anony that hands you your ass each time I respond to your bs.

But I'm feeling sorry for you, so in the fairness of your braincell, I offer a truce by this simple question.

What would convince you that there was a conspiracy behind 9/11 that pointed to individuals within the U.S. Government as being partly or wholly responsible?

You other debunks can feel free to answer in case Bill has problems with comprehending the question.

Really? No kidding?

Since when does condescension, bald-faced lies and prattle constitute a valid argument?

"...What would convince you that there was a conspiracy behind 9/11 that pointed to individuals within the U.S. Government as being partly or wholly responsible?"

I can imagine thousands of scenarios that might arose my suspicion; however, the 9/11 troofers have offered nothing that would compel me to question the NIST Report or the conclusions found therein.

Keep working on it, psychopath. After all, if you can somehow manage to oscillate your remaining braincell to 4 Hz or so, you might approach vegetable status.

Good luck, and God's speed.

Another one I find common is the special pleading fallacy. The reason we don't agree with the 'truthers' is because we're simply 'sheeple'. Easy, huh?

Works for everything from religious fundamentalism through to anti-Fed nutters.

There are two things that would make consider the possibility:

1. An internal document of some sort that SPECIFICALLY references the attacks and SPECIFICALLY states that they will be arranged or allowed to happen.

In lieu of #1 I would accept a whistleblower, if the person was in a highly-placed position where they could observe such discussion, and can pass a basic credibility check.

2. A piece of physical evidence that would unmistakably show some other force present in the destruction of the buildings. A scrap of detcord, a blob of gelignite, that sort of thing.

Yeah, I know you idiots think you have things that fit those categories, but you don't.

 
At 21 July, 2010 03:53, Blogger Triterope said...

And as for conspiracy techniques, here's another one they use all the time: overstating the relevance/credibility of bodies that supposedly prove your point.

I was going to bring this up on the Deets thread because it's from his WTC7 website, but it fits even better here:

Architect Richard Gage on Fox News, May 28, 2009

The hosts of Fox News on KMPH in Fresno, California

In the headline, it's Fox News, with a capital N. In the body, the truth comes out -- it's a local news story from one of Fox's affiliates. Big difference in the amount and importance of the coverage.

Similarly, conspiracy people like to pad their credibility by including irrelevant details:

"TV Hören und Sehen", with a paid circulation of nearly a million copies, is owned by the Bauer Media Group, which publishes 308 magazines in 14 countries.

I guess a million copies wasn't impressive enough, so they padded it out by citing the statistics of the ownership group. As if anyone cared, or this made their claims less ludicrous.

Are you still working on that reading comprehension thing, psychopath?

Besides the obvious sources of iron-rich sphere--cranes, excavators, the thermitic lances used by clean up workers, concrete saws, clutches and brake pads--there's another super abundant source of iron-rich sphere: The Tower's lightweight concrete.

Fly ash, moreover, is used as aggregate in lightweight concrete. Thus, iron-rich spheres were present in the World Trade Center Towers before the destruction of the buildings. As we all know, concrete was pulverized when the Towers collapsed; thus, fly ash, weighing thousands of tons, covered the pile as well as Manhattan.

Here's the proof that fly ash is used as aggregate in lightweight concrete:

Source: Google: fly ash used as aggregate in lightweight concrete.

Furthermore, the US Department of Energy confirms my argument.

The US Department of Energy wrote, "...All of the fly ash samples were comprised mainly of amorphous alumino-silicate spheres and a smaller amount of iron-rich spheres."

Now, put that in your crack pipe and smoke it, psychopath

Here are the things that lead me out of the Conspircy Theory Swamp. I am a reformed JFK Assasination kook, and I dabbled in the Illimunati and UFOs too.

The first thing that threw a big steaming pile of reality into my backyard was when I went to Dallas, and actually went to the Texas Schoolbook Depository and Dealy Plaza. I went to the Sixth Floor Museum ( which I recommend to everyone), looked down onto Elm Street below and realized that it was a fucking easy shot. The consiracy mythos made Oswald's shot into some kind of Circus trick that was almost impossible, but the fact is that the final head shot was around 300 feet from the window. I don't know why Oswald even bothered with a scope.

The other things that I realized in Dealy Plaza was that the place is an echo chamber. They were filming the X-Files movie in town that day and the choppers flew over. The place is a canyon, and sound bounces off off all four sides, so gunfire could have sounded like it came from just about whatever building was behind you. Then there is the grassy knoll, someone behind the white fence would be clearly visible in all photographs taken that day, not the grainy "Badge Man" bullshit.

The other thing that I came to notice in the JFK nuts as well as the UFO NUTS was how they are divided into sub-factions. In the JFK-nut world you have the CIA Did it, the LBJ did it, Nixon did it, the CIA, military industrial complex did it, the mafia did it, the mafia did it on orders from the CIA, GHW Bush/CIA/Mafia/Big Texas Oil did it, Lamar Hunt did it on a bet, Cuban exhiles did it with the CIA, and so on.

This should be the first clue that these people are sniffing glue. The facts are the facts, and they all lead to the same place. Facts are not open to interpretation, facts are facts. Fact: Derek Jeter plays baseball well. Fact: Ferraris are expensive. Fact: Ice cream is cold. Theory: Derek Jeter plays baseball well because he is a CIA Android, not facts to support this but I could site evidence that could be interpreted to prove this theory. He's too good looking, I have never seen him go to the bathroom, the guy plays like he's a machine. Forget that there are no actual facts to support my theory. Forget that I have only seen Derek Jeter on television (hell, he might even be a CGI creation), Forget the fact that the technology, while advancing every day, does not exist to make a Derek Jeter android. Forget that stuff because I know what I know, and I have figured out the secret and this makes me special. It also makes me superior to you people.

If you ever want to see a great fight, watch two guys with different theories about the JFK assasination go at it. If both parties have written books there will be blood.

You didn't see this kind of crap with the OJ Simpson trail. The facts are the facts, and the jury not withstanding, there has not been an ongoing effort to find the "real killers" even by OJ's supporters or friends. The facts are the facts.

This is how I pulled my head out of my ass and breathed the air of commin sense.

We know why he doesn't correct you (he's a coward who doesn't care about facts), but why wouldn't he claim the same sources for the melted iron? Hint: it's because your baseless, unfounded, un-sourced explanation is a vat of bullshit, and he likes to wallow in it with you.

A raised calculus implements the wanting sarcasm, but whatever official gasoline waves a gender. The never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions, however, abstracts from all content of a priori knowledge. Therefore with the sole exception of the discipline of pure reason, the paralogisms of human reason prove the validity of space, as we have already seen.

The psychopath dissembles, "...GutterBile FAILS to provide a source which says the melted iron in the dust comes from fly ash, and offers unfounded speculation instead. Scientists from the RJ Lee group specifically state it came from high temperatures, and document this in a scientific report."

Do you understand how lightweight concrete is made? I don't think you do, jackass.

Lightweight concrete substitutes the gravel and sand found in normal concrete with two new components: [1] pumice; and [2] fly ash.

Thus, we should expect to find pumice and fly ash in the WTC dust.

Pumice is created by VOLCANOES--you droolin' cretin.

Thus, to conclude that the iron-rich spheres were the product of extremely high temperatures is correct (a volcano or volcanic eruption); however, it's STUPID--brain-dead--to conclude that the iron-rich spheres are a product of foul play that resulted in the WTC collapse (A thermitic reaction, to be specific).

The RJ Lee Report, moreover, doesn't mention what temperature range is necessary to produce the observed phenomenon, and the report tells us absolutely nothing about where we might find those temperatures.

Thus, you cannot use the RJ Lee Report to support your case without resorting to a frenzy of wild speculation--which is the stock and trade of the 9/11 troofers.

Conclusion: Another epic failure for the 9/11 troofers.

Howling ignorance from the lying, despicable creep known as GutterBilge: stop the madness, little boy. The Lee report doesn't just say the iron came from high temperatures, but from the 'WTC event' (remember when Pat stupidly tried to use that term to include the clean-up, as if it made the difference?). Bringing up pumice and volcanoes is your way of obfuscating a scientific finding that's inconvenient to you. Either you haven't actually read the report, or worse, you have no understanding of it. It's all there, tough guy, including the liquefied lead. How hot does lead have to be to melt, Bilge? How does fly ash explain that? Everyone can see you're a moron, so by all means, keep demonstrating that for us. You too, Pat!

The psychopath dissembles, "...Bringing up pumice and volcanoes is your way of obfuscating a scientific finding that's inconvenient to you."

On the contrary, I brought up an extremely relevant point that is very "inconvenient" for YOU.

Do you deny that pumice and fly ash are components of lightweight concrete? Do you deny that pumice is the product of volcanoes? Do you deny that fly as is the product of a high temperature reaction?

If so, you've offered NOTHING to refute my points.

"...How does fly ash explain that? Everyone can see you're a moron..."

Projecting again, cretin? Of course you are.

The lead is the product of the collapse.

RJ Lee report says--and I quote--"...The conflagration activated processes that caused materials to form into spherical particles such as metals (e.g., Fe, Zn, Pb) and spherical or vesicular silicates or fly ash. The heat generated during the WTC Event caused some plastics to form residual vesicular carbonaceous particles, and paints to form residual spherical particles."

Extremely high temperatures were created in sparks caused by impact and friction between collapsing columns and concrete. Additionally, high temperatures were created when steel reinforcements where pulled out of the building's concrete pads. And those are only two examples where high temperatures were a product of the collapse.

I think it's clear who's the idiot in this case. Try again, mouth breather.

Conclusion: Another epic failure for the 9/11 troofers.

Answer: Pumice is volcanic rock that is rich in alumino-silicate.

Questions: What did Dr. Jones and RJ Lee find in their dust samples?

Answer: Alumino-silicate spheres.

Question: Where did those alumino-silicate spheres originate?

Answer: The tower's lightweight concrete.

Conclusion: I've got you by the balls, psychopath.

So, when will you answer my question, STONEWALLER?

"...Do you deny that pumice and fly ash are components of lightweight concrete? Do you deny that pumice is the product of volcanoes? Do you deny that fly ash is the product of a high temperature reaction?"

Again, your continued refusal to answer my questions brings the lie to your specious argument.

Concerning pumice, we find the following.

Wikipedia writes, "...Pumice (pronounced /ˈpʌməs/) is a textural term for a volcanic rock that is a solidified frothy lava typically created when super-heated, highly pressurized rock is violently ejected from a volcano."

"...Pumice is composed of highly microvesicular glass pyroclastic with very thin, translucent bubble walls of extrusive igneous rock. It is commonly, but not exclusively of silicic or felsic to intermediate in composition (e.g., rhyolitic, dacitic, andesite, pantellerite, phonolite, trachyte), but basaltic and other compositions are known."

Concerning Fly ash, we find the following.

Wikipedia writes, "...Fly ash is one of the residues generated in the combustion of coal. Fly ash is generally captured from the chimneys of coal-fired power plants, and is one of two types of ash that jointly are known as coal ash; the other, bottom ash, is removed from the bottom of coal furnaces. Depending upon the source and makeup of the coal being burned, the components of fly ash vary considerably, but all fly ash includes substantial amounts of silicon dioxide (SiO2) (both amorphous and crystalline) and calcium oxide (CaO), both being endemic ingredients in many coal bearing rock strata."

"...Hollow fly ash can be infiltrated by molten metal to form solid, alumina encased spheres. Fly ash can also be mixed with molten metal and cast to reduce overall weight and density, due to the low density of fly ash."

"...Recently, the use of recycled materials as concrete ingredients has been gaining popularity because of increasingly stringent environmental legislation. The most conspicuous of these is fly ash, a by-product of coal-fired power plants. This significantly reduces the amount of quarrying and landfill space required, and, as it acts as a cement replacement, reduces the amount of cement required."

Here's a quote from the Huff article followed by my comments:

People are far more likely to believe in conspiracy theories when they've already been objectively, seriously, undeniably lied to by people in power. Conspiracy theories are always a clear sign that people's faith government and private institutions has been repeatedly shattered, but never mended. If they lied to us then, we can never be sure they're not lying to us now.

It's not just the Gulf of Tonkin, or Watergate, or Iran-Contra, or being lied into Iraq. It's also the way our own bosses treat us at work, and Wall Street doctors the books, and the media leaves essential facts out of news reports. The current generation of Americans, left and right, has learned the hard way that people in power lie to us -- constantly and habitually. Since they won't trust us with the simple truth, there's no reason to trust them in return.

We interrupt uor regularly scheduled pissing match to bring you a bit of bookish nerdiness:

One thing that struck me in Robinson's article- in fact, it's in the part Pat quoted:

"Despite the lack of academic or professional cred (or perhaps because of it), the folks who promote conspiracy theories go overboard to put a thick veneer of scholarship on their claims. Books and essays are ostentatiously footnoted; but the references typically link back to even more obscure conspiracy publications with even flimsier evidence -- or else to other works written by the same author, in a self-reinforcing loop. Some theorists use scientific jargon to dazzle the crowd and obfuscate weaknesses in their story; others borrow terms of art from the intelligence trade, giving the impression that they're getting their data from sources on the inside who know what's really going on."

Is anyone else here familiar with Richard Hofstadter's essay The Paranoid Style in American Politics? (It really is a must-read for the student of conspiracism). Robinson obviously is- Hofstadter said, among other things:

"A final characteristic of the paranoid style is related to the quality of its pedantry. One of the impressive things about paranoid literature is the contrast between its fantasied conclusions and the almost touching concern with factuality it invariably shows. It produces heroic strivings for evidence to prove that the unbelievable is the only thing that can be believed. Of course, there are highbrow, lowbrow, and middlebrow paranoids, as there are likely to be in any political tendency. But respectable paranoid literature not only starts from certain moral commitments that can indeed be justified but also carefully and all but obsessively accumulates :evidence.” The difference between this “evidence” and that commonly employed by others is that it seems less a means of entering into normal political controversy than a means of warding off the profane intrusion of the secular political world...

The higher paranoid scholarship is nothing if not coherent—in fact the paranoid mind is far more coherent than the real world. It is nothing if not scholarly in technique. McCarthy’s 96-page pamphlet, McCarthyism, contains no less than 313 footnote references, and Mr. Welch’s incredible assault on Eisenhower, The Politician, has one hundred pages of bibliography and notes."

Iron melts at 2797F. So RJLee says the temeratures "during the event" reached at least 2797F. A hydrocarbon fire plus office materials cannot get above 1825F, an in a open air fire it would be much less than 1825F.
_________________________________

The conflagration activated processes that caused materials to form into spherical particles such as metals (e.g., Fe, Zn, Pb) and spherical or vesicular silicates or fly ash. The heat generated during the WTC Event caused some plastics to form residual vesicular carbonaceous particles, and paints to form residual spherical particles. Some metals, plastics and other materials were vaporized thus producing new chemicals that were deposited onto the surfaces of solid particulate matter, such as asbestos, quartz, and mineral wool. These dust and heat-processed constituents are not typically found associated with typical office building environments. These types of particles are classic examples of high temperature or combustion by-products and are generally absent in typical office dust. ...Various metals (most notably iron and lead) were melted during the WTC Event, producing spherical metallic particles. Exposure of phases to high heat results in the formation of spherical particles due to surface tension.

Question 3: "...Do you deny that pumice and fly ash are components of lightweight concrete?

Where does the energy come from to take hundreds of thousands of tons concrete, pulverize it to fine power, rapidly expand that powder to a dust cloud thousands of feet into the air and watch it settle into six inches of grey dust all over lower Manhattan?


The only energy available was gravity (assuming no explosives were used). All the potentional energy available (gravity) is converted to kinetic energy (motion).

Th buildings fell at near free fall. WTC7 fell at free-fall!

That means all the kinetic energy had to be used for one thing and one thing alone: falling down!

Your a scientist William, (or so you claim to be). Perhaps you can explain in a mature, calm, coherent way, where the energy comes from to account for ALL the observations if your only potential energy available is gravity.

See if you can respond without hurling insults, it just undermines your arguments and makes you look silly.

The lying paychopath dissembles, "...'Various metals (most notably iron and lead) were melted during the WTC Event'."

Quote mining again, 'tard? Of course you are.

Here's what the report says--sans the quote mining.

"...Various metals (most notably iron and lead) were melted during the WTC Event, producing spherical metallic particles. Exposure of phases to high heat results in the formation of spherical particles due to surface tension. Figure 21 and Figure 22 show a spherical iron particle resulting from the melting of iron (or steel)."

The psychopath continues to prevaricate and writes, "...Iron melts at 2797F. So RJLee says the temeratures [SIC] 'during the event' reached at least 2797F."

Read question 1 again, jackass.

"...Again, the RJ Lee Report, moreover, doesn't mention what temperature range is necessary to produce the observed phenomenon, and the report tells us absolutely nothing about where we might find those temperatures. And I challenge you to produce the passage from the RJ Lee Report that substantiates your assertion."

Cite your source, otherwise you're just pulling this out of your ass.

Thus, you didn't answer my question at all. Instead, you resorted to evasion and quote mining.

"...These types of particles are classic examples of high temperature or combustion by-products and are generally absent in typical office dust."

Read the passage again, jackass.

And then I want you to show me the passage where the RJ Lee Report demonstrates how or where we might find those temperatures.

You just don't get it do you? Read it again,

"...Fly ash, moreover, is used as aggregate in lightweight concrete. Thus, iron-rich spheres were present in the World Trade Center Towers before the destruction of the buildings."

So, where does the RJ Lee Report prove (proof and conjecture are not the same) that the particles are the result of the collapse? The short answer: It doesn't.

Good luck quote miner, because you're going to need it.

combusted products can occur in trace concentrations in ordinary building dusts, but not in the concentrations observed in WTC Dust.

Good! you should be qualified to able to answer where the energy comes from to pulverize nearly all the concrete and expand that cloud thousands of feet in the air if the only potential energy available is gravity and the building fell at or near free-fall which is clearly the case. the 9/11CR says the north tower collapsed in ten seconds, thats about free-fall, and the vids confirm that to be true.

Let's flip that around. What would convince you that the US government was not behind 9-11?

The vast majority of 9/11 truthers never made the claim that the US government was behind 9/11. That is part of your distortion of what we have said.

Cheney and Rumsfeld are (or were) hardly the entire government, but merely an element of it.

Now you may disagree the C&R were in some way involved, but please don't put words in our mouths that we never said.

And AE911Truth for instance has always deferred the question of "who did it" to a future (real) investigation.

So The whole premise of your reverse question "Let's flip that around. What would convince you that the US government was not behind 9-11?" is misleading.

Perhaps you should have asked:

"Let's flip that around. What would convince you that official story is true?"

The problem is that the official story is the sum of many parts, all of which are problematic.

If your side was so right, you might think that there would be some part of the story that is not in doubt.

Got it, numb nuts?

If the building's lightweight concrete is composed of abundant amounts of alumino-silicate and iron-rich spheres, why would any sane person conclude that the presence of alumino-silicate and iron-rich spheres in the WTC dust is the product of the fires? Sure, trace amounts might be there as a result of the fires; however, the tower's lightweight concrete was composed of thousands of tons of alumino-silicate and iron-rich spheres.

LOL!

"...the fact that..."

There you go again, giving speculation and lies advanced billing as "fact".

For your information, oatmeal-for-brains, E. Howard Hunt was a Watergate felon--a so-called plumber--who worked for the notorious liar, Richard M. Nixon. Following the discovery of the Watergate burglary, Hunt was convicted of burglary, conspiracy and wiretapping. He served 33 months in prison.

Are you aware that a felon's "word" is less than worthless?

Hunt, moreover, was a CIA contractor.

Normally, a conspiracy monger (that's you, ArseHooligan) will automatically dismiss any testimony from the CIA as lies and disinformation.

In this instance, however, the ArseHooligan believes a felon who was a former ex-CIA contractor.

How ironic.

So, what's the ArseHooligan's "standard of evidence"?

Answer: If the allegations AGREE WITH THE ARSEHOOLIGAN'S OPINION, IT'S THE TRUTH.

Bottom line: You're intellectually dishonest.

But this revelation shouldn't surprise us because you're a pathological liar.

So, tell us more about why Vanunu's photographs, which are not admissible in a court of law, are proof that Israel has a nuclear arsenal.
