Doggies for demolition truth
Much as I wish people wouldn't drag dogs into the 9/11 Truther business, I found this and thought I should share it so that readers whose compassion knows no bounds might be better able to understand the Truther mindset.
The meaning of the above is explained here (although not quite to my satisfaction): Nathan Janes, who has become known for his fun and light-hearted renderings of man's best friend, has released his newest painting of a much more serious subject matter. The painting, titled "With Liberty and Justice for All," represents a movement within the United States and abroad that seeks answers to questions about the catastrophic events that occurred on September 11, 2001. Within the last two years a number of celebrities and public officials have come forward to support the growing movement including Charlie Sheen, Rosie O'Donnell, Mos Def, Gov. Jesse Ventura, Aaron Russo, and Raymond L. McGovern, and many more.The link is here, but there's nothing about the dog. I realize the artist loves dogs (so do I), but still... Why the dog? What would any dog have to do with 9/11 Trutherism? The explanation comes not from the artist but from a man named Kevin Barrett (of the "Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth, Mujca.com"): "Even a blindfolded dog can see that those Towers didn't collapse, they exploded -- unless the dog is hypnotized by His Master's Voice."Even a blindfolded dog can see that? How? This is supposed to persuade people of a theory? I knew Barrett's name looked familiar. He's the guy who they actually hired to teach at the University of Wisconsin. I wish they wouldn't give these people the cover of respectability. Well, I see that the Barack Obama is pulling many of the 9/11 Truther links listed here from the official campaign web site (although the Communists are still there), so perhaps that's progress. Not to nitpick unduly, but the idea that the fiendish masterminds who brought down the Twin Towers by controlled demolitions also brought down WTC-7 strikes me as extremely unlikely -- especially from a paranoid conspiracy perspective. If the whole idea was to have CIA stooges fly planes into the buildings to create a "cover" for the controlled demolitions which really brought them down, then why be so stupid as to blow up a building that wasn't hit? In fact, why the need to destroy WTC-7 at all? The idea that people who would carry off such a plan would make such a stupid mistake is in clear conflict with the basic theory which assumes they were diabolically clever. But then, it's never made much sense to me that the moron they all think Bush is could ever have pulled it off after only eight months in office. Just don't expect me to say that only a blind dog would believe the 9/11 Truthers. I like dogs too much. posted by Eric on 07.02.08 at 06:12 PM

Well, if Charlie Sheen and Rosie O'Donnell believe it, there must be something to it. Sheesh. Cris · July 2, 2008 07:25 PM There are people who latch onto simplistic ideas and hold on to them like life preservers when the REAL truth is too difficult to bear. Truthers are a branch of that. They'd much rather believe in an insanely massive, complex, convoluted conspiracy that would require EVERYTHING in an incredibly intricate to function just right - and that the hundreds, if not thousands, of people behind such an act are so evil and depraved that not a single one of them has leaked any info about it in the last 7 years... Than believe they're vulnerable to a handful of suicidal zealots. JLawson · July 2, 2008 09:25 PM I put a blindfold (doubled-over sock with the toe cut out) on my Doberman Susie to teach her tracking, to discourage herlooking for the object-to-be-found instead of following the crush scent to it. Ron Hardin · July 2, 2008 10:13 PM Right, there was a massive conspiracy to wire several buildings for a controlled demolition, which "they" managed to carry off without THOUSANDS of people in those buildings even noticing. I mean, it's so obvious. Truly, these are people with too much time on their hands and not enough to do to occupy it. the wolf · July 3, 2008 12:55 AM Mark Steyn said it best: "If 9/11 were an inside job, you wouldn't be driving around with it on a bumper sticker." Because murdering thousands in one massive conspiracy is simple, shutting up the Truthers too difficult. I made the same point once when somebody was raving about how great Oliver Stone's JFK was. I said "If Stone were anywhere near being right, he'd have been found dead of a cocaine overdose the day after he pitched the idea for the film." Steve Skubinna · July 3, 2008 01:07 PM I noted several months ago that a salient characteristic of these paranoid interpretations is that they believe "secret" information, no matter how improbable, in favor of the open knowledge. It is as if they are predisposed to believe that the world is ruled by secret forces, and fasten on to whatever explanation is at hand: Freemasons, the Illuminati, Jewish bankers, Trilateralists. The belief in some conspiracy precedes any actual evidence. Steve Skubinna is exactly right on his part of this. These folks are giving us a clear window into how their own hearts and minds work. Some few of them are paranoid schizophrenics; some are paranoid personality disorders or schizotypals; I do wonder whether there is some neurological glitch in the majority of others, who otherwise function normally. Assistant Village Idiot · July 3, 2008 03:52 PM This just pi$$e$ me off. How dare those who are suffering from ID 10T errors dis my DOGS? My dogs are smarter than the whole bunch of them put together. They are PBGV's - All About Eve aka Evie & Wild Jasmin aka Jazz (as in dog jazz - let your inner ear work that). They are smarter than any truther and can spot B$ people quicker than smell travels. Like Bill Whittle said in one of his essays, we have to publicly face these kinds of idiots and laugh at them. I mean point and laugh rudely while commenting on their obvious mental shortcomings. Really. And Hollyweird actors are who I am supposed to look to for guidance in foreign policy and international relations? Most of them hardly finished high school. Robohobo · July 4, 2008 08:52 AM Aaron Russo's dead right, not there's any connection. With that assemblage ofintellects narciso · July 5, 2008 10:45 PM Wow- what logic and "critical thinking" substance this article/blog contain! [/sarcasm] I've distilled the comments down to what I would call "ad hominem how to in 3 days or less:" Truthers are: Holocaust deniers, credulous, ignorance, their own [evil] personalities. Holocaust deniers, morons, fantasies, the evil in their own psyches Charlie Sheen, Rosie O'Donnell simplistic, insanely, convoluted conspiracy JLawson · July 2, 2008 09:25 PM people with too much time on their hands and not enough to do to occupy it. raving, cocaine overdose the day after he pitched the idea for the film." paranoid, improbable, paranoid schizophrenics; paranoid personality disorders or schizotypals; neurological glitch in the majority, who otherwise function normally. suffering from ID 10T errors, My dogs are smarter than the whole bunch of them put together.

Truthers are latter day Holocaust deniers, and as such combine credulous ignorance with a fascination for evil. In fact, I have to believe that the evil they so casually project onto "The Government" stems from their own personalities.
How many must have been involved in the Truthers' conspiracy? Hundreds? Thousands? And they all cheerfully violated theor oaths to protect and defend the Constitution and marched off to murder thousands fo their countrymen?
Before them, there were the Holocaust deniers, and before them were the morons who had FDR behind the Pearl Harbor attack. Thier fantasies say much more about the evil in their own psyches than anything else.
