9-11/truth

Overview

9/11 Truth (also referred to as the "9/11 Truth movement" and derogatorily as "truthers") is a term adopted by those who advocate a new investigation into the events of 9-11, arguing that discrepancies between the official story and the available evidence, as well as evidence of improper conduct during those investigations, render the official conclusions not credible.

For reasons which are not yet clear, 9/11 Truth advocates evoke a considerable amount of antipathy in mainstream America.

Periodicals

• Journal of 9/11 Studues (web): "It is now our belief that the case for falsity of the official explanation is so well established and demonstrated by papers in this Journal that there is little to be gained from accepting more papers here. Instead we encourage all potential contributors to prepare papers suitable for the more established journals in which scientists might more readily place their trust." Gives links to publications in more mainstream scientific journals.

News

• 2008-06-11 [L..T] 9/11, Deep State Violence and the Hope of Internet Politics «But social thought is socially fashioned. For it to be effective it must be mobilized, and become more than a chorus of bloggers croaking from our backwater lilypads in the blogomarsh. Clearly it would take a strenuous concerted effort to create or persuade a movement, such as MoveOn, to take on all these issues. .. Is it possible that some organization can be persuaded to accept this challenge, and take the first steps in mobilizing such a force?»; This sounds about as clear a call for InstaGov, or something like it, as one could imagine.
• 2007-10-27 [L..T] FOX News Labels Dissent As Anarchy «As I continued to watch, the anchors mentioned the anti-war protester who confronted Condoleezza Rice and they went on to call these people/movements anarchists and fascists in a new and different form. They further commented on the internet as being a hot-bed of dissent and contributing to this very serious, growing problem in America.»
