The Troofers dist... dixt... dictionary

[Bell]

I thought it would be a good idea to create a list with troofers words and explain them in plain English (and that from a Dutch guy :rolleyes: )

Anyhow, feel free to add.


The Troofers dist... dixt... dictionary

concrete bore - bore (http://algoxy.com/conc/images/southcorestands.gif)
contrived demolition - forcing other people into accepting a controlled demolition
hulloplanes - holographic planes? hullo?
Pent-a-going-on - and on and on and on
skwip - skipping the fact that dust blown out of a building does not look like an uhmplosive* squib
pool it - organizing a pool for betting the odds that 'pull it' means 'blow up'
uhmplosives - explosions, not really caused by explosives

[Gravy]

Exclosion: a very loud noise that can only be heard by a small portion of a population or recorded by a select few devices.

btw: it always kills me that the Dutch are more fluent in English than 95% of Americans.

[delphi_ote]

Thermaite - the process of changing one debunked hypothesis into another even more ridiculous hypothesis by vowel substitution

Oops, missed that one. Thanks, Gravy. Allthough I have to admit, when I have to write a really difficult word, like Preponderance of the evidence, I type it into Google, and see if it asks "Did you mean..." ;)

ETA: Take a poll of Americans and see how many know what "preponderance" means, and you'll see my point.

Alleged----What to say when it's clear that someone/thing happened or existed and you don't/didn't want it to because it disagrees with your crappy theory.(also see allegedly)


Noooo question about it-------- What to say when what you are saying makes no sense but you want people to feel stupid if they don't believe your nonsense.

Common sense-----You only have it if you believe outrageous claims.


Ex.----- The alleged plane filled with 44 alleged passengers allegedly crashed somewhere in Pa. But all it takes is a little common sense to know that the plane definitely rerouted to Cleveland, where the alleged passengers evacuated the alleged plane. Yup. Noooo question about it.

[Triterope]

Glad you guys liked my earlier list. Thanks for the positive feedback.

This is all great fun, but I also think it serves an important purpose: we need anti-Denier jargon. We need concise ways to point out the flaws in conspiracy questions. Because it seems like we've got to re-explain the whole thing every time somebody new shows up here and asks HAY WUT ABOUT CD. Clever terms like "contrived demolition" and "exclosion," which both mock the argument and highlight its flaws, are useful to this end.

Here are a few more terms I thought of:

chertoff (v.) - To attempt to discredit a three-year, 15,000-page study done by hundreds of qualified scientists, by fabricating a tenuous connection between any one participant in the study and any one member of the George W. Bush administration. Example: "There's no point in having a new invesigation of 9/11, because the Deniers will just chertoff it when they don't like its conclusion."

mannafest (n.) - One of many lists of airplane passengers that rain down from heaven to justify any conspiracy belief about the hijackers.

pipelie (n.) - A fictional oil pipeline. Typically found in regions that have no natural oil, and would be of no strategic use to any real pipeline. May be used as a conspiracy explanation for any U.S. military action, no matter what other justifications exist. Example: "Lauro Chavez guarded the pipelie in Afghanistan."

rebunk (v.) - To use outdated news articles as source material, never acknowledging that they have long since been corrected. The claims that some hijackers are alive, and that Flight 93 landed in Cleveland, are often rebunked.

[Arkan_Wolfshade]

exspurt (n): 1. one of the members of the pee-er (q.v.) reviewed 'Jurinal (q.v.) for 9/11 Studies'. 2. anyone with a website who's compiled lots of ahumptions (q.v.) and coinvidences (q.v.).

Disinfo Argent - The alleged money that those skeptical of the troother movement apparently all recieve from the big, bad ubergovernment.

[Triterope]

craption (n. or v.) - A misleading description of a video or photograph, designed to support a conspiracy theory. Example: "All Steven Jones' evidence for his thermite theory turns out to be craptions."

[ihaunter]

[jhunter1163]

Mypothesis - (n.) Theory supported or espoused by a particular Twoofer. Ex: "The video evidence supports the WTC7 CD mypothesis."

We should bundle all these entries, and publish a real dictionary. We should use these words whenever we debate troofers.

[W6102LA]

I'm sure someone can come up with a good definition of what the CTist would call a "troll"

[Bell]

Kook-a-like - Concluding one event is exactly the same as another event that looks-a-like

[VespaGuy]

JAQing off - 1. the act of spouting accusations while cowardly hiding behind the claim of "just asking questions". 2. asking questions and ignoring the answers.
"He said he was going to present evidence, but instead he was just JAQing off."

Disasterbate - Convincing oneself that a major event is actually a government conspiracy. Usually involves ignoring evidence, quote mining, and watching internet conspiracy movies.
"After he heard about the explosion, he couldn't wait to get home and disasterbate.

Mutual Disasterbation - When one conspiracy theorist uses another conspiracy theorist to validate his own crazy speculations.
"The Loose Change forums are a den of mutual disasterbation"

Keeblergonomics - a little known branch of science based on make-believe, tree-dwelling, cookie-making elves (see also: elfisics)
"The towers should have toppled like a tree based on these keeblergonomical calculations."

Bermass - a loud-mouthed conspiracy theorist.
"When all he did was yell 'liar liar' over and over, I knew the guy was a bermass"

[Triterope]

evirense (n.) - Proof of a conspiracy claim that traces back to a conspiracy website that freely admits it has no editorial standards whatsoever.

[Triterope]

We should bundle all these entries, and publish a real dictionary. We should use these words whenever we debate troofers.

I agree. Some of these words do a brilliant job of summing up the flaws in the troofer's argument. Maybe we could make a master list, and link to it whenever we want to use a word from it?

stoot down order - Order given by either POTUS or VPOTUS to stand down at and shoot down United 93

Damn, I love this thread. Perhaps we should make it a sticky. I agree about using these words wherever possible.

One I thought of a while ago and have used elsewhere:

evidense (n) : 1. misinterpreted data. e.g. photos of steel beams cut during the clean-up said to be evidence of umplosions (q.v.) such as *therm*te ; 2. coinvidence(s) (q.v.), ahumption(s) (q.v.).

[Orphia Nay]

dodgic (n) : thought process and reasoning used by twoofers. Involves attempting to change the subject when faced with facts that destroy their assertions (usually by starting a new discussion, or posting heaps of links or pasting complete articles of ahumptions irrelevant to the matter at hand). Also involves the Oddus Operandi of the 'Truth Movement":

woo did it - Accusing someone of a crime without factual evidence

May I suggest a variant of this?

woodunit (n.) - a narrative dealing with a well-understood murder or series of murders, in which conspiracy theorists attempt to determine what shadowy global-domination group was really behind it all. Rhymes with "whodunit."

Another one I came up with:

thermaphrodite (n.) - A high-temperature incendiary compound that contains elements of both thermite and thermite, and constantly changes between the two.

[Unfit4Command]

victim - a person alternately pitied or accused of being deeply involved in a conspiracy to murder thousands depending on context, audience, and time elapsed since last dose of medication; see also firefighter

It's really sad how true this actually is.

[Triterope]

poll it (v.) - The act of using incendiary language to blow up an opinion poll such that the 9/11 Truth movement appears to be at least 50 times larger than it actually is.

bollyn (v.) - The act of noticing a strange car outside your house, assuming it's FBI, calling the police, having the people in the car tell you're they're just undercover local cops, not believing them, threatening them, telling them you're going into the house to get a weapon, getting arrested, losing your job, and then blaming it all on the Jews. Usage Note: Because of the low likelihood of anyone actually being stupid enough to do all these things, the word may be used in a looser sense to describe any attempt to blame a personal misfortune on some shadowy world-domination entity, when it was really your own stupid fault. "Example: All the 9/11 Denier candidates for Congress lost, so they'll probably try to bollyn the results off on Diebold."

medict (n.) - Pronounced ME-dict. Any press release written about yourself in the third person, and uploaded to unselective conspiracy websites in hopes of convincing the world of your obvious greatness, often at the expense of your rivals. Example: "When Chris Bollyn bollyned himself, he wrote a lot of medicts about it."

I'm not thrilled with "medict", so if anyone can come up with a better word for that concept, feel free to suggest it. "Smugshot" would be perfect, but that would seem to describe a picture, not an article. I couldn't think of a word for arrogance that portmanteaus nicely with "press release." "Mess release" and "press me-lease" don't get there. Bonus points if you can work in the "happy ending in a massage parlor" meaning of "release."

I hope this will open a new avenue of discussion on this thread. If you can think of a 9/11 Denial or general CT concept that needs describing, but not a word for it, post the concept and we'll all take a whack at it.

Incidentally, all the suggestions on this thread have been awesome. I particularly loved Disinfo Argent, necescalation, dodgic, mypothesis, coinvidence, and my personal favorite: disasterbate. That word is such a perfect description of the Troofers.

Also, I want to address a pronounciation issue from an earlier entry:

pretire (v.) To be forced to retire early for making idiotic and embarassing claims, and then pretend it was voluntary. May be pronounced PRE-tire or pruh-TIRE, depending on whether you wish to emphasize the pre- suffix, or make the word sound like "pretend." Example: "Steven Jones pretired."

The previous pronounciation limited the word to the "pretend" meaning. But dangit, I work hard on these words, and I will not have any potential subtext go unexplored.

[Orphia Nay]

Hehehe, even more good ones, Triterope. Your hard work does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

I hope this will open a new avenue of discussion on this thread. If you can think of a 9/11 Denial or general CT concept that needs describing, but not a word for it, post the concept and we'll all take a whack at it.

I've been thinking we need a word for when CTists (and woos in general), when faced with facts disproving their assertions reply by posting a whole heap of links about their theory in general, without directly contradicting the rebuttal. I've seen people refer to it as 'the overwhelm the opposition with links (and text) phase', but one verb/noun would be very handy. I've toyed with 'virtual bombardment' but that doesn't allude to the logical fallaciousness of the act. 'Virtual bombardment of dodgic' is a bit wordy I think.

'Shock and aw' might apply if they did that and also whinged about being called on to debunk their debunkers, but I'm also looking for a word for posting links in lieu of a rebuttal.

Superdolterated – when one believes a LC video

I've been thinking about this one too. I was thinking something along the lines of "rerun," with subtext woven in. The best I was able to come up with are enbore (rhymes with "encore") and re-bleat. But those both fall well short of the mark, as these embody only repetitiveness, and not the other aspects of the action.

I've seen people refer to it as 'the overwhelm the opposition with links (and text) phase', but one verb/noun would be very handy. I've toyed with 'virtual bombardment' but that doesn't allude to the logical fallaciousness of the act. 'Virtual bombardment of dodgic' is a bit wordy I think.We need a word that embodies massiveness, avoidance, repetitiveness, stupidity, and relying on links to questionable websites. Something like linkvalanche would on the right track. Or maybe something based on the name of some ineffective military tactic? I want to say Maginot Line, but that doesn't quite fit here.

'Shock and aw' might apply if they did that and also whinged about being called on to debunk their debunkers, but I'm also looking for a word for posting links in lieu of a rebuttal.I like the 'shock and aw' idea. We definitely need to use that phrase for something. How about:

Clock and Awe - the act of badly mistiming the collapse of the WTC towers, claiming the erroneous time proves your own theory, and then gaining an overwhelming feeling of admiration for your own brilliance.

A little contrived, but in the ballpark. Feel free to improve on this.

[Orphia Nay]

I like the way you think. 'Clock and Awe' is definitely handy.

I've been thinking under-the-carpet bombing might do for posting heaps of links in avoidance of proving a factual rebuttal.

But there's a military term that uses the word 'firepower' I think, that evades me that might be used for our purposes. Something to do with, as you said, massiveness and also inappropriateness.

[Triterope]

I like the way you think. 'Clock and Awe' is definitely handy.

You want to call that official, then? I think we can make it a little better, or maybe use the 'shock and awe' meme for something stronger. Wow, I feel like we're at the Man Law table.

I've been thinking under-the-carpet bombing might do for posting heaps of links in avoidance of proving a factual rebuttal.That's pretty good, but I think we can push it over the top. Another term for this is "saturation bombing." "Saturation" lends itself to a lot more portmanteaus than "carpet." I can't think of anything at the moment but I'll work on it.

But there's a military term that uses the word 'firepower' I think, that evades me that might be used for our purposes. Something to do with, as you said, massiveness and also inappropriateness."Overkill"?

[Orphia Nay]

"Overkill"? Hmmm, maybe.

Over(-the-top-)kill with inferior firepower?

[Orphia Nay]

Much too wordy, but this came to mind:

Firing 2 million camels' butts to avoid your argument looking like an empty tent.

[Big Al]

Many of this are absolute classics! :D

If I might propose a few of my own:

Plane crazy: Unable to appreciate that a fully-loaded airliner crashing into a building might do considerable damage.
Trolled demolition:Activity carried out by faceless minions who seek to dispose of sensible arguments by endless nonsense.
WTCing is believing: Adage expressing the ability to interpret visual information any number of ways but the sensible one.
Illuminatichoke Kind of mental vegetable that feeds on nebulous concepts of "them".
Mexpert: Kind of layman who suddenly becomes omniscient about any number of disciplines after a gallon and a half of Dos Equis and a burrito.
Slowblind: Unable to realise that very large objects seen from a long way away seem to be moving much slower than they really are.
Alloyal subject: Person who regards as sacred the creed that steel is perfectly rigid until it melts.
Impervect:
1. Person who never stops to try to visualise the forces acting on a struck building after the initial impact has dissipated (gravity), and the direction in which it acts (downwards).
2. Unable to comprehend the concept of vectors.

Camelighting?

[jhunter1163]

I thought a little more about mypothesis and I think I should clear it up a little. The evidence supports a given mypothesis and excludes all other mypotheses. Of course, the evidence can be interpreted in different ways to support an infinite number of mypotheses, all mutually exclusive. Then you just sit back and watch the show...

[jhunter1163]

medict [/B](n.) - Pronounced ME-dict. Any press release written about yourself in the third person, and uploaded to unselective conspiracy websites in hopes of convincing the world of your obvious greatness, often at the expense of your rivals. Example: "When Chris Bollyn bollyned himself, he wrote a lot of medicts about it."

I'm not thrilled with "medict", so if anyone can come up with a better word for that concept, feel free to suggest it.


Melease?

And to add the massage-therapy angle, how about myofarcical melease?

[ihaunter]

I've been thinking under-the-carpet bombing might do for posting heaps of links in avoidance of proving a factual rebuttal.



How about under-the-carpet dumbardment. Gotta show that most of the "bombs" are duds.

[Triterope]

How about:

errial dumbardment (n.) - The act of attempting to prove a conspiracy by bombing a forum with hundreds of incorrect, outdated, and contradictory links to conspiracy websites. Pronounciation Note: The "B" is not silent.

Or does that make too many err=air words?

And to add the massage-therapy angle, how about myofarcical melease?

I like the sound of that. Maybe I'm slow today, but can you explain the origins of "myofarcical"?

Some great ones from Big Al as well. Keep 'em coming, everybody. At some point I'll try to get a master list together.

[Bell]

confussion - Confusing a person's statement as a confession, ie Larry Silverstein confussed WTC 7 was pulled.
memorme - Stating the reason for exposing the 9/11 'lies' is out of memory of the victims, whilst it actually is for personal benefit.
websigh - When a troofer again points to incriminating evidence on the same old troofers website.

[delphi_ote]

tinfowars.com - a website devoted to the ramblings of a certifiable tin-floil-hat wearing lunatic

[delphi_ote]

Nazibrew (näts ee' broo) - a member of a conspiracy which involves an alliance between a secret cabal of Jews and former Nazis

[Orphia Nay]

Those are great, Big Al! I sniggered heaps at 'Alloyal subject'. :D

Mypothesis is even better now, jhunter. Like the mutually exclusive bit.

RE: myofarcical melease - I know a myocardial infarction is a heart attack, and I know what farcical means, but I'm not familiar with the 'massage' element of the Bollyn saga, so I don't see the connotations either. Hopefully someone will fill in the blanks.

ihaunter - 'under-the-carpet dumbardment' - just what I was looking for! Cheers!

under-the-carpet dumbardment when CTists (and woos in general), when faced with facts disproving their assertions, reply by posting a long list of spurious links about their theory in general, without directly contradicting the fatal flaw facing them.

Triterope - 'errial dumbardment' - classic! More appropriate for initial, link-heavy posts by a CTer in a thread, but still useful.

[TjW]

Hehehe, even more good ones, Triterope. Your hard work does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

They're releasing a 'dodgic bomb'. It's something like a logic bomb (which leads to an inevitable conclusion), only different.

NOMAD - Defence Organisation that provides continual air-cover for the Continental United States. Entire squadrons of well-armed fighters randomly criss-cross airspace on the look-out for potential hijacked aircraft which they rapidly shoot down. NOMAD were "stood-down" by the US Government in order to facilitate 9/11.

Often confused with their sister organisation NORAD.

I thought about adding after 'pithy': not in the Marquis de Carabas sense of the word, but I was in a hurry, and if I did, then you wouldn't have learned something.

ETA quote

[Oliver]

And what does Alfred´s whole sentence mean in this relation?

"Has Anyone Seen A Realistice Explanation For Free Fall Of The Towers?"

[Big Al]

So the question is "Has Anybody Seen A Stoppage-Of-Reality Explanation For The Fall Of The Twin Towers?"

In that case, yes, I have seen a boatload of 'em on this site and others. These CT guys certainly know how to bludgeon reality to a stop.:)

You have to imagine an indignant edwardian English gentleman when you read those lines... it only works if he says "sir". :p

-Gumboot

[celestrin]

And what does Alfred´s whole sentence mean in this relation?
First off - I'm joking, Olli. I haven't got a clue about latin. Not a normal, let alone a raging one. But -stitium does mean what I said.

Well, "realistice" may either be a misspelt "realistic", or Alfred might be pulling our collective leg the whole time. In this case I would probably "translate" it as "Has Anyone Seen An Explanation For Free Fall Of The Towers Where Reality Doesn't Matter?"

Just to clear things up, myofascial release is a massage technique. Really. I learned this while working for a chiropractor.

I thought as much, except I pictured a gruff English army major. It still worked.

Actually, I was thinking, the MdeC sense of the word is actually a high compliment. He is the dark lord of the pith, after all. And he makes some very pithy comments, 'JAQing off' being one of them. And he is good at taking the... you know.

Crater: A huge pile

Does anyone else here begin to think CTers speak in (english)^-1 ?

[Triterope]

Here's a great one somebody used on the SLC blog:

La Resisdunce - any faction of conspiracy theorists that uses revolutionary and militaristic language to describe itself, despite being made up of people who haven't so much as fired a gun their lives.

[qarnos]

Warner Brothers Principle - The theory that an aircraft impacting a concrete wall should pass straight through, leaving a perfect cookie-cutter outline of itself.

[maccy]

evapidoration - the process by which steel turns instantly into a gas without melting or glowing, believed to require Star Wars beam technology or nanobots.

the no s**t shear schlock holmesian technique - claiming to have eliminated all possibilities and so leaving only your unlikely theory, which must therefore be true because a fictional character invented by a man who believed in faeries and spiritualism says so.

I'm bumping this from way back because it was so much fun. Surely we must have some new entries by now?

[Coritani]

According to this person: (http://z10.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=2335&view=findpost&p=11075571)

Disintegrate: Vaporize into nothingness

[Myriad]

bantopia -- the paradise that results from excluding all the rational intelligent people

confiction, daffyduction, and craziation -- the mechanisms of heat transfer that guarantee structural members will be unaffected by fire, while also permitting thermite reaction products to stay red-hot inside jumbled piles of gigantic heat sinks for months

cantex plane -- a hypothetical aircraft which, despite having unprecendented capabilities or qualities, would not, even if it existed, make the theory requiring its existence any more plausible

pinkslipnosis -- mysterious altered state of consciousness in which employees refrain from revealing evidence their bosses committed mass murder due to fear of losing the privelege of working for those bosses

exploseiving -- sorting through quotations and interpreting any occurrence of words related to "blow," "pull," blast," "set off," "down," or any word meaning damage or destroy in any sense, as a reference to bombs or detonating charges. Example: "We decided we had to cut and run" = "We decided we had to set off demolition charges to cut the support beams and then run away while the building collapsed."

pull-it surprise -- an award earned by imperfectly mimicking the jargon of people one has been working with and thereby, according to the misapplication of completely different jargon, unexpectedly confessing to a major crime

hate truss -- the structure connecting the ultra-leftist core with the Nazi perimeter, uniting them into a strong rigid framework

Myriad

[Mr.D]

Lieonist - The "we're not racist," self-sworn mortal enemies of Zionists. Often heard using the phrase "I'm not antisemetic but ..."

Duhmerican fRepress - An entirely reLIEable source. A good publication to cite when one needs to repress actual facts.

Calculashun - Shunning logic, applicability or sense while punching a bunch of numbers semirandomly into a calculator and coming up with a number that you claim proves your point - even if it does exactly the opposite.

Prebunking - Being so desperate to glorify oneself that you leak enough information with your "pre-announcements" that skeptics prove you wrong before you even post your "proof."

[Bell]

He :) Funny new submissions, people.

Confiction - Blaming innocent people of commiting crimes and/or massmurder using fantasized evidence, ie, "Silverstein blew up the WTC towers using spaceborn beam weapon."

[A W Smith]

too bad no one has a meta HTML filter to replace words or add them within CT web sites. I really enjoyed the old Zippy meets meta (http://www.metahtml.org/apps/zippy/welcome.mhtml)HTML some 10 years ago.

[Fnord]

Bushadow (n.) - (1) Code of honor based on Japanese Bushido, now practised only by a certain Texas oil dynasty, wherein its followers would rather die than admit that they really run the government, and provide disinformation on 911 to the media; (2) A clandestine agent of the NWO (see "Shill Oil Company").

Shill Oil Company (n.) - Front organisation for the U.S.A. branch of the NWO, based on a 1583 acre estate located seven miles outside Crawford, Texas, and with its main office on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.

Secret Murder - Murder that is blindingly obvious

[GStan]

semantic obtusity - a neuro-processing filter for interpreting witness usage of vague descriptive words and ascribing to said words, the literal translation which is seemingly the most damning to the prevailing logical explanation of 9/11 events Example: Through the power of semantic obtusity, Christopher7 deduced that anyone reporting explosions was actually reporting explosives.

[Wildy]

Irrelevant (adj): Item that contradicts the theory

Usage:

Typically used in the form "your [X] is irrelevant" or "that is irrelevant [X]" where [X] is the item in question (evidence, question, statement, etc.). [X] will always contradict the theory.

I don't know if it has been said yet and I can't be bothered looking so:

Theory (n): One idea that is correct. Only one theory can exist at a time and more then one will cause the thread that they are posted in to explode.

Note: The Theory is unquestionable and is considered 100% proof, troof and fact

[qarnos]

rebunk (v.) - To use outdated news articles as source material, never acknowledging that they have long since been corrected. The claims that some hijackers are alive, and that Flight 93 landed in Cleveland, are often rebunked.

I like this one, but I'd suggest an alternate definition:

rebunk - to alter a theory or idea to counter a fact that invalidates the theory.

Example: When Dylan claimed the towers fell into their own footprint and asserted this could only be explained by a controlled demolition, Mark responded by pointing out the towers did not, in fact, fall into their own footprint. Dylan rebunked his theory by claiming that this new fact could only be explained by controlled demolition.

There a many examples of this form of rebunking within the truther movement.

[Davidlpf]

BAUTforums.com-a group of secret guberment shills who are there to mislead the public about the moonlandings, face on mars, and other space related conspiracies. The only ones that tell the truth are Bart Sibrel, Richard Hoagland, etc.

rebunk - to alter a theory or idea to counter a fact that invalidates the theory.

The trouble with that is it's exactly what good science does.

[Dave Rogers]

I like this one, but I'd suggest an alternate definition:

rebunk - to alter a theory or idea to counter a fact that invalidates the theory.

Example: When Dylan claimed the towers fell into their own footprint and asserted this could only be explained by a controlled demolition, Mark responded by pointing out the towers did not, in fact, fall into their own footprint. Dylan rebunked his theory by claiming that this new fact could only be explained by controlled demolition.

The trouble with that is it's exactly what good science does.

Not exactly; what qarnos is suggesting is that the theory is claimed to predict the opposite of what it originally predicted, although no change has been made to the original theory. That's not good science, it's purest woo. Since there's already a definition for "rebunk", can I suggest a new one to address all this?

vereversify - when a theory makes a prediction and the observation is the opposite of that prediction, to claim that the theory also predicts the opposite.

Example:
Truther: "The Twin Towers fell neatly into their own footprints. Only explosives could do that."
Debunker: "But large amounts of debris were scattered over a radius ten times the footprint of the towers."
Truther: "Exactly, and only explosives could do that! That just vereversifies my theory!"

Can anyone imagine what the country would be like if Alex Jones where the president what would be different? What would change?

Can anyone imagine what the country would be like if Alex Jones where the president what would be different? What would change?

Hmm judging from experiences one makes again and again with "truthers", especially of the Jonesite persuasion, I'd expect the following:

- Introduction of censorships
- Plenty of arrests without warrant
- A big upswing for neonazis
- Militant militias all over the country murdering democrats
- Alex cheering them on
- The USA turning to isolationism and being cut off from world markets by way of the dollar losing value fast; widespread poverty and unemployment
- A boost to extremist factions in the mideast, potentially leading to civil wars and wars between countries
- Pogroms stateside against Jews and Muslims
- The institution of a Propaganda Ministry

There was this hilarious picture by that guy who specialises in those ridiculous anti vaccination/anti nwo giffs.

It showed Bush Rumsfeld and Cheney in orange jumpsuits, being lead away, with Alex Jones as the judge.

Never mind Bush being led away in chains, the idea of a universe were Alex Jones, is a judge never mind passing the bar, is terrifying....
