Split of Chris´s thread - Dangerous CT´ists

Did you miss the explanation of the fear ritual? "The government has already killed 3,000 why would they stop at one more?" I may know better or that it is a fairly small group that did the dirty work and not actually a part of government, but construction workers mostly don't.
What fear ritual? How do you claim to know this by seeing concrete-cores? I live in Europe - so i´m not really afraid of anything then a cold winter and some stupid efforts to cut my privileges as a free citizen because 9/11.

I´m more afraid of seeing all the paranoia around 9/11. People like the chemtrails - or the no planes believer. Or the explosives-leage that really believe in it without evidence. I first laughed about it but if i try to realize that these people really exist and really are afraid of a NWO, really scares me.

If these guys are that far away from fact-based reality, what are they capable to do? Killing others just because they saw an empty building fall on 9/11 and can´t explain it? And we shouldn´t forget the right-wing that uses the "movement" to spread their hate-propaganda. (Alex Jones, too?)

This is scary, isn´t it?

This doesn't scare me. I don't think there are many people who are that extreme. Paranoia or irrational fear of government is nothing new, and cases where these people act violently because of their fear are rare. I think that most of the people who have latched on to the 9/11 denial movement will grow up and find that their time is better spent doing anything else.

Mhmm, was Klebold and the other guy just one of 10000 paranoid kids?

Don´t take this as a strawman - i´m talking about 1 "oswald" within hundreds or thousands that grow up and leave the stupidity behind. Someone who turns to live this paranoia.

I suspect that civilization will survive that person's paranoia.

Civilization will, as Hutch would say, press on. Anyway, these days there's no need to go completely off the deep end. There's plenty of profit in being just crazy enough, as Alex Jones could tell you. The beauty of the "NWO" conspiracy theory is that it's so diffuse. There will always be shadows to blame.
