There is ALSO a difference between positing a conspiracy theory based on REAL facts and basing one on DENIAL of real facts.
I sort of LIKE conspiracy theories although I tend not to sign onto most of them.
AFter all what are most conspiracy theories?
They are an attempt to make sense of the narrative when we KNOW we have incomplete data.
Lots of people, myself included, enjoy playing "what if" scenarios. It is part of human nature in my opinion.
Truthers do not, however, try to make sense of the narrative. They throw away anything and everything that disagrees with their theory du jour. That isn't making sense of the narrative, but rather completely rewriting the narrative.
Here is a good example:
Many truthers recently (Jones, Tinmore and CD for example) are claiming the planes were flown into the buildings via remote control. In order to believe this theory, they have to ignore tons of known, irrefutable facts such as the flight attendants that were talking with co-workers on the ground throughout almost the entire hijacking, the flight data recorders, the voice recorders, the interaction between the planes and ATC, the calls to loved ones from the planes, and the complete lack of physical evidence of remote control hardware.
Now, if they were playing "what if", that would be one thing, but they are not. They are claiming their theories are fact and that people should ACT upon their claims. This is the danger of not standing up for the truth; the fact someone is going to act upon the paranoid delusions of the conspiracy theorists. An example would be Timothy McVeigh who blew up the Murrah building in OKC because of the conspiracies surrounding Waco. Do we know everything that happened at Waco? No. There are holes in the "official story" and some of those holes don't make sense. Conspiracy theorists fill in those holes with outlandish theories that don't fit the known facts and pretend it is truth. Some actually believe the bullshit.
Many truthers recently (Jones, Tinmore and CD for example) are claiming the planes were flown into the buildings via remote control.
I have never said that.
You said you believed what Ruppert claimed about Cheney and posted the video. Ruppert's main claim is that the planes were flown in by remote control. Did you even WATCH the video you claimed stated what you believe? How ironic!
