I just finished watching it. I love that video. I definitely see why the twoofers HATE Mark. Keep it up Mark, you work does not go unnoticed!

Oh my giddy aunt, I had to try and prevent myself from laughing out loud so many times, and I still got one of two "looks" from co-workers. That was sooooooo funny.

Frankly - I think there is faaar too much bias in this Flick - without any educational Substance for Newbies, whoever made it.
Oh, Happy Birthday, Rawkarma.

We have a winner.
That was a hoot, Mark. It's got the LCFers in meltdown.
I also liked your choice of music, including my all-time Mose Allison favorite. May I suggest another tune to use in the future.... Screamin' Jay Hawkins's original (1969) version of "Constipation Blues." I just know you can find an appropriate place to fit it in.

I think it's well known that I don't like it when people lie about 9/11 at Ground Zero and refuse to learn about their claims or correct their mistakes. But I only shot a few minutes of video, so it wasn't as if I cherry-picked a few choice moments. They really behave this way. Just look at the videos they have produced for evidence of that. The video is about their behavior and isn't meant to be an analysis of their claims – others have done that quite well. I did throw in several links for further research.
Happy birthday, Rawkarma! |

![]() I haven't been going to GZ on Saturdays for months, because I don't see anything left to accomplish there. It's not worth the time to try to talk sense into one or two truthers who may be open to reason. The rest of them are true cult believers and aren't going to be swayed. |

Unfortunately it's not them that would be getting the results, it's the poor people who are getting harassed by these.... <insert insult of your choosing here> ...! I'm amazed that you did it so long without clocking one of them. I'm guessing your blood pressure has dropped a few points over the past month.

So, what you are saying is that since the towers' collapse were not the result of controlled demolition, asteroids must be to blame. Did I get that right?

An educational film for newbies to 9/11 this is not...nor do I think it was intended.
However, i think it should be required viewing EACH AND EVERY TIME, that arguing with these obnoxious, ignorant C**KS**K*Rs gets you pissed or annoyed. Well done Mark. TAM

Nicely done. I will be telling everyone I can to watch this video. There was a bit too much text, I'd have at least prefered a voice-over reading the text while it was on-screen, but that's just me.

After watching that I mainly just feel sorry for these people. I can only imagine how said and lonely and meaningless their lives must be, for them to want to dedicate their free time to such a hollow, misguided, and ultimately pointless movement.

All I did was upload a video. It's us that should be thanking you for confronting these kooks on as many occasions as you did, and not committing a felony or being committed to a mental institution yourself.
I have to admit, an extremely optimistic soul could be forgiven for hoping that when Les states that: "911 is not an inside job" (12:51) in answer to Mark's challenge to: "name one thing I've gotten wrong", that Les -- realizing that he was drawing nothing but blanks on that, and feeling the cool refreshing wind (that moved Marks' signs) on his face -- finally came to the realization that he can't disprove anything Mark says by offering up proof for any of his kooky claims. Sadly, but not surprisingly, it's not long (13:00) before Les spouts more bs in reply to Mark and any-and-all challenges with that special brand of irony that only a truther can say with a straight face: "everything, everything, everything you've gotten wrong." I know many people that are equally 'torrent-challenged' and yvw. ![]() And I appreciate all the birthday wishes. Let's be optimistic -- if only momentarily -- and look forward to my 27th year (well, technically my 28th) being: "The Year of The Truther Epiphany" and an end to all this silliness... Yeah, right. I was shaking my head as I typed that; and coincidentally, I have a feeling I'll be 77 and still shaking my head(s) in disbelief during my numerous bathroom visits. |

I think the problem is that Mark and others are now usiing their medium. Rather than writing lengthy papers that no one in their ADD world will ever read. So now they're watching these videos and seeing their little bubble burst.
Mark, get an actual video camera. Buy one, orrow one, put one on layaway. ETA happy b-day Rawkarma! |

I finally got to watch this whole thing today and it was absolutely priceless. Mark, you are truly a great man. What you do is something I would never have the patience for. Your relentless research, and going out into potential harms way against these lunatic cult members. It's just awe inspiring. Thank you for standing up for the real truth, and the victims.
My heart goes out the man who lost 4 family members that day. 4 funerals in three weeks. That is just terrible. I can only imagine his rage as he sits and listens to these idiots. I very much look forward to part two. |

Great video, I liked when Mark called one of the Truthers a "jackass." lmao.
The person named Jack is insane...I've never seen such stupidity before...wait, yes I have. That one woman who tries to talk about Hani Hanjour and others takes the cake for that video. |

Goodaye Mark,
I feel like an idiot complaining as well considering the amount of material I have leant to the effort to debunk, but the text I felt should have been condensed more into less screens, but I do tend to read faster then most. I do enjoy the way you pretty much just make them speak to make them look stupid. Ever thought of using your own voice as narration and maybe adding some video of yourself discussing what they do before you show it and after? I reckon it would be a chance to add a lot more humour and less text, however I do understand this aint your day job hahaha... I wish I was motivated enough to finish my 9/11 death metal song. |

I agree about the text. I was working with VERY primitive software that kept garbling the ends of longer passages like this: %&>@^^̄, so I had to break them up. Also, I had intended to release it in three parts, but decided they didn't stand up as well on their own. There wasn't supposed to be so much reading at one sitting.
My voice? I'm not crazy about it, although I don't have a bad singing voice. Maybe I'll sing the narration for the next one. Or maybe I can get Martin Sheen. Also, the audio input on my computer is broken. |

I notice in the comments section, that you're either getting 5 stars or one. I don't understand "hector's" review of "pretty good farce movie," yet only giving it one star.
