You you were once a CT. So let me take it as you are no longer awake; but that you went back to sleep. So why did you go back to sleep?

The difference between conspiracy theorists and the rest of us, is that our "bullshit detectors" still work.

So, to answer your question, j_o_james' "bullshit detector" started working again.

Proof Ed Proof

Sheeeh... where to start!

I'll just pick one or two things that jumps to mind about some famous truthers....

Alex Jones lying about what "pull it" meant, saying there were 500,000 coffins prepared by FEMA for martial law.
David Ray Griffin saying "no passengers on flight manifests" and still saying it as soon as 3 or so months ago.
Sophia from 9/11 Mysteries adding explosive sound effects to footage, then trying to rationalise it by calling it "sound design".
Loose Change by purposefully omitting all kinds of information in order to try and convince you their position was stronger than it was, like a video of a wobbly camera they claimed was a shockwave but left off the audio which showed it was just a camera shaking.
Steven Jones quoting official reports out of context so he could claim elements in the dust was unexpected and so suspicious and a refusal to see any other reason why they might be there.
Richard Gage for not understanding how sound works, for not understanding how explosives work, for comparing the WTC to buildings that and concrete cores and that were concrete reinforced and for making out that steel is nearly indistinguishable.
Michael Ruppert for going news story mining (that's his entire "research") but then incompetently or dishonesty neglects to tell rather you quite important information about the story.
Aaron Russo for saying the US tax code says income tax is voluntary.
Jim Hoffman for saying there are trillions of dollars missing and Rumsfeld admitted it a day before 911 and implying they used it for black ops. And wtc7.net for saying that that web archive removed news footage for nefarious reasons to this day, when they did it for perfectly logical reasons and had it back up within (if I remember) a month.

Pretty much all of them for quoting (many many) people out of context, all of them for making absurd contradictory and incoherent claims about what the purpose and methods used in using explosives at the WTC and ignoring the firefighters when they want to. For making statements about things as if they were confirmed facts when they are not at all ($00,000 wire transfer to Atta), for saying Silverstein made money, for having next to no accountability for their own errors and a willingness to believe anyone just because they may agree with them or seem to back up what they believe (for example, Anders Bjorkman (no planer))

I mean I could go on and on this, this is just off the top of my head right now. Its so much worse than I could express without spending a while coming up with a good essay on it (which I might do). I could probably write a freakin book on why I'm not a truther anymore and why they have no credibility whatsoever.

I also echo the experience of James :)

(I cant watch the video right now, I've seen some funny legitimate (non CT) ownage of the Bush government so I know they are there :) and not just the easy Bushisms stuff!)

Sounds like Rummy, he did that a lot with the WMD stuff once people found out they had been making things up :DD
