Common CT Phrases

[ref]

There are many common phrases or words that the CT world parrots. These can be listed into several categories. Here I have listed some of them.

Fancy foreign words:

Cui Bono - A Latin phrase for Who Benefits (often mistakenly written Qui Bono). This phrase is repeatedly used by many theorists, notably Alex Jones.

Coup D'État - French term for a sudden blow or strike to a state. Used by theorists to emphasize the inside job. Used by some theorists, including Webster Tarpley in his latest writing.

What is behind the use of these foreign phrases? Does this bring some credibility to the claims? Does it appear to be a more believable or educated conclusion, if a foreign phrase is used to emphasize the meaning.


Then there are the phrases with a huge threatening weight in them. Used to scare people, this is what you get if you are with them.

Illuminati - This word if effective, there is some very secret society who control everything.

New World Order - This is scary as hell. There are plans by a certain group to control the entire world via a world government. Adds weight to any claim.

Globalists - Look above.


Other phrases, simply parroted by every CT around the world to point out the knowledge and proof about government involvement.

Inside Job - Repeated a million zillion times. This repetition, backed up by nothing, is the most common CT phrase hollered all over.

What about WTC 7 - One of the most famous CT lines.

Pull It - This gets so much repeated, it's ridicilous. Competes for the most widely used CT phrase award.

No planes at Pentagon - Blah
NORAD standdown - Blah
Hijackers alive - Blah
Controlled demolition - Blah


Just to mention a few of each category. Feel free to add more. I think there is a clever mix of different phrases to convert people into CT. There are the foreign phrases to emphasize the message, the dominating scary phrases to scare people, and then the commonly parroted words to numb your brain. Clever tactic to gain some following.

Footprint
Truss
Load
Freefall
Words which the CTers love to bandy around but seem to have no idea what they actually mean.

I was going to include 'failure' but it's pretty obvious CTers know the meaning of that one.

Laws of Physics


Something that Twoofers seem to know very little about.

A side interest of mine has been the mimicking of standard phrases from the JFK CT, in order to heighten the effect of a "long-proven conspiracy". In fact, the whole 9/11 CT movement seems to be cut from the well worn paths of the JFK CT phenomenon.

The most blatant reference is to the Magic Passport, which has in the past been described as pristine.

The 9/11 Commission Report is often compared to the Warren Commission Report. I've seen the abbreviation of 9CR for that report; is there a similar WCR in JFK-land?

Guliani's bunker in WTC 7 is often pegged as a command center for the Inside Job itself, making it very much like the Grassy Knoll. And the films of it and the towers collapsing are used obsessively to demonstrate CT, just like the Zapruder film is shown again and again, while the faithful chant, "Back and To The Left."

The search for alternate substances and explosives for CD is reminiscent of the search for a fourth shot or more. The "squibs," explosive sounds, and flashes comprise a Dictabelt aficionado's wet dream. And can you look at one more diagram of Dealey Plaza? The 9/11 CT has the WTC complex, the Pentagon, AND Shanksville.

We've even got a poster at DU who's trying to make the Lone Cadre a byword, hoping to ridicule the idea that the 19 hijackers had no help from the government. Yes, I've pointed out it's an oxymoron. Pointing out that there were four cells doesn't do any good either - that gives us the unfortunate moniker of Four Lone Cadres, though that might explain why they went to so many strip clubs.

It is as if the JFK assassination has been some morbid training level in a video game, and now that everyone has practiced and suited up, the real levels have begun.

However, some things don't translate. The bewildering array of suspected organizations in the JFK CT have been replaced by our primary suspect: the Bush Administration. My view of this may be skewed by DU's policy of hyper-vigilance over anti-Semitic posters, and based on the number of posters there who finally slip and allow a fuller exposition of their suspects, I'd imagine Israel/the Elders are still the CT second suspect (meaning, they try harder). The Paki connection is sometimes heard, but the mob, Castro, the Russians, and LBJ seems to be SOL when it comes to similar models within the 9/11 CT. (LBJ is a leader of a coup, which doesn't play into any theory I've heard.)

I've a couple more "similarities", but they're on the order of JFK/Lincoln comparisons. Since I've never actually seen them anywhere, I'll keep them to myself.

Nice post bolo :)

Just remembered another one.

* Did you know jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel!

This is quite amusing. Alex Jones is clearly using all the 'scare them all' tactics.

In my 'Scare' category I listed three phrases. Illuminati, New World Order and Globalists. And what did I find on the infowars.com frontpage? This:

"Alex appeared on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory Friday January 26, 2007, to discuss the history of the Illuminati and the foundations of the New World Order as well as the Globalists' plan to destroy free speech in America and bring the country to its knees."

All three words in the same sentence. A little flavor added with the phrases like 'destroy free speech' and 'bring the country to it's knees'. If that isn't a scare tactic then nothing is.

More of the same, with CT translation.........


Zionist conspiracy (shifty jews)
Pull it (desperate for a smoking gun.....anything!)
Arabs in caves (Ignorant peasants)
Explosion (bomb)
Loud Bang (even bigger bomb)
Loose Change: Final Cut (biggest bomb of all)

[jhunter1163]

Zionists: Allows you to be anti-Semitic without coming out and saying it, as in "I'm not anti-Semitic, I'm anti-Zionist." Not all Zionists are Jews, but if you ask a CTist to name a Zionist who is not a Jew they look at you blankly.

[PerryLogan]

Alex Jones' followers, the self-styled "Patriots," use the phrase problem, reaction, solution a lot.

In case you haven't heard it, "problem reaction solution" is just another term for a false flag operation. Do the Truthers have false flag on the brain or what?

The guys seem to think it has something to do with Hegel's concept of "thesis, antithesis, synthesis"--though I doubt that it does. The phrase serves as the philosophical underpinning of the Patriot Movement (i.e., the government did it).

Just asking questions.

False flag of course

Cave compilation:

"The government has not even produced their tickets as evidence that they actually could have boarded the aircraft they are alleged to have hijacked. Did Osama call from a cave in Afghanistan and charge them to his MasterCard?"

- Prof. James H. Fetzer

http://www.911scholars.org/911RationalBeliefs.html


"The 9/11 attacks did not emerge from the world of Bin Laden, Atta, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the laptop, and the cave in Pushtunistan"

- Webster G. Tarpley

http://rockcreekfreepress.com/RCFPJan2007-Pg8.pdf


"We don't believe that 19 hijackers and few others in a cave in Afghanistan pulled this off acting alone."

- Prof. Steven Jones

http://education.guardian.co.uk/egweekly/story/0,,1864524,00.html


"The "War on Terror" is a complete fabrication based on the illusion that one man, Osama bin Laden, from a dim cave in Afghanistan, outwitted the $40 billion-a-year US intelligence apparatus."

- Prof. Michel Chossudovsky

http://www.legendarytimesbooks.com/product.php?productid=399&cat=33&page=1


"Half a trillion dollars a year and a bunch of guys over in a cave in Afghanistan were able to penetrate that half a trillion dollar network that's supposed to provide Americans with national security."

- Col. Ronald D. Ray

http://www.propagandamatrix.com/articles/july2006/010706doesnthunt.htm


"You know, right from the get-go, the thing about Osama bin Laden, you know, the mastermind of all evil in the world, doing this from a cave in Afghanistan? This thing was so well put together. This was so well planned and so well organized. The communication with 19 people that work here in America -- and the whole – If you just think about this, and this is all coming from a cave in Afghanistan? I mean, I can't get a cell phone from here to Queens, so exactly how did the mastermind of all evil put this together?

- Michael Moore

Just to mention a few known people. Then others parrot these cave phrases repeatedly.

"Documentarist" ?!?

You just made that word up, didn't you?

Disinformationist

Near free fall

It's like fingernails on a blackboard to me now.

You beat me to it.

I would also add "The towers fell at free fall speeds", or "faster than free fall", or any variations thereof.

[The Silver Shadow]

Source - When they can't back anything up and demand that we back up our response. They can't seem to remember Carl Sagan when he said that "outrageous assumptions require outrageous evidence" (Or something to that effect)

Gatekeeper: A liberal smart enough not to buy the truthers lies.

[JonnyFive]

Gatekeeper: A liberal smart enough not to buy the truthers lies.

I would change that to "anyone who disagrees with them and presents facts or questions what they say as anything but the gospel truth."

Speaking of that phrase, I saw "The Good Shepherd" a couple weeks ago, and I noticed that a couple of the phrases in the movie, specifically "gatekeeper" and "black propaganda", were phrases I'd seen CTists post for no particular reason.

Seems like they're getting at least some of this crap from spy novels and/or movies. Here's a hint guys: Tom Clancy's universe is not real life. It is, in fact, full of crap. Fun to read about and obsessively detailed, but full of crap.

If you'll excuse me, I hear there's going to be a speech from President Jack Ryan any minute now about something or other.

[Mobyseven]

"Realistice" - Unrealistic

[LashL]

"Pyroclastic flow"

Apparently, they think that using this term (which applies only to the eruption of volanoes) to describe the debris emanating during the collapse of the towers, somehow makes them appear intelligent, while, of course, it has the exact opposite effect among those with any intelligence whatsoever.

[The Silver Shadow]

Woo talk
It has defied all known physical laws

Translation
I have no idea what I'm talking about.

[Unfit4Command]

"The Official Story is the real Conspiracy Theory!"

haha, so apparently it makes more sense that:
-3 buildings (all taller than the tallest structure ever demolished as far as I know) were loaded with explosives without anyone knowing about it.
-A missile was fired at the Pentagon and almost every eyewitness reported seeing a plane.
-The crash site of Flight 93 was staged and the plane was really landed in Cleveland without anyone noticing.
-The DNA of nearly every passenger was found at the crash sites at the Pentagon and Flight 93, must have been planted.
-What about the plane debris in Shanksville and at the Pentagon? Planted

False flag of course


Science is a false flag op undertaken by the NWO to fool the general population into abandoning common sense and intuition in favour of a few meaningless equations.

[Panoply_Prefect]

I've been hit several times with "The most powerful military power in the world" as a description of the US Armed Forces/CIA/FBI. Of course to be followed by already mentioned "Towelheaded Cavemen with Boxcutters".
The fact that said power have been and is known not to be that omnipotent doesnt seem to bother them.

[PerryLogan]

The "false left-right political spectrum." Lots of Truthers think the whole liberal-conservative thing is baloney. This view requires an almost total ignorance of history and current events.

[Andúril]

Near free fall

It's like fingernails on a blackboard to me now.
A relative to this is the classic example of CTist physics:

417/9,81=42 seconds

Near free fall

It's like fingernails on a blackboard to me now.

I personally like it when they take that 'argument' the next step and say "faster than free fall".

[PerryLogan]

Let's not forget Star Wars beam weapon, which has the whole world stunned.

[HyJinX]

One of my favorite conversations with the woo woos:

Woo: So you believe everything in the Omission report?
Me: I believe that you don't have any evidence to support your theories.
Woo: Then why are we in Iraq? Explain what that's about.
Me: What the F are talking about?
Woo: We couldn't have invaded Iraq without 9/11...and 9/11 was a perfect excuse to invade...which proves Inside Job.
Me: I'll be right back. I think your stupidity actually made me crap my own pants.

Of course I'm paraphrasing.

It's just an example of conspiracy rounding.

It's kind of like banker's rounding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banker%27s_rounding), but for idiots.

[MikeW]

Disinformation - any 9/11 theory other than the one believed by the accusing truther.

[NeilC]

The most common phrase I see is the various forms of:

"There is just no way that X would happen like that"

where X is the collapse of the tower, a foot print on the moon, a bullet wound in a president's head etc.

What they mean is "with almost zero knowledge of the subject, ignoring most facts and all expert opinion, and with huge personal bias, it occurs to me that it would not happen like that".

[PerryLogan]

Alex Jones is always referring to stupid liberals. This really slays me.

[MikeW]

The Big Picture - the overall "9/11 was an inside job" idea. Unique amongst all theories because it doesn't actually depend on any evidence at all, so no matter what you disprove or debunk you'll still be accused of ignoring "The Big Picture".

[Coritani]

Disinfo Agnt: Someone who disagrees with you, even in the slightest fashion. Including other members of the truth movement.:boggled:

[PerryLogan]

Bush-lovin' neocon. I've been called this. If I'm a neocon, everyone's a neocon.

From someone whose sole knowledge of the CIA or Secret Service comes from sitting in an armchair and scratching their backside:

"OF COURSE the CIA wouldn't hesitate to wipe out a busload of schoolkids just because the cafeteria toast wasn't crisp enough! DU-UUUH! What planet are you living on?"
