What part of the video are you referring to. And youtube isn't the silver nail you're referring to. These are ACTUAL NEWS REPORTS. Please stick to the subject matter at hand. And I want you state at what part of the video you're disputing.
Okay, look, it's the
whole thing. People have already made the point about the information exchange under such duress. To look at it in terms of my prior answer:
• We all know what it looked like. And of course there are unanswered questions. And yes, some of these conspiracy theories will, in the end, serve some utility in the pursuit of truth.
By the way, "a nother" is at 3:15.
In the first place:
We all know what it looked like. Okay? Number two: Yes,
there are unanswered questions about exactly what happened. And yes, these conspiracy theories might well be looking at some symptom or evidence of a "real" truth. But no, these YouTube documentaries aren't it. Your title, for instance: "You can't debunk this". And that whole
checkmate business. It characterizes everything that's wrong about the "9/11 Truth" movement.
The penultimate segment, the bit from CNBC about a demolition: that's one of their studio presenters, right? Yeah, we know what it looked like. But the words of a CNBC presenter have better dramatic significance than anything else, except that the nature of this particular alleged documentary is such that it demands a different context, and that actually weakens the argument. The documentary you can't debunk: just think about what that asserts.
Let's imagine that someday the Truth theorists are validated inasmuch as someone from the government finally spills a plausible tale of how the U.S. managed to pull it off, or look the other way, or whatever our government's necessary sin was. I promise you:
that explanation will debunk this and any other conspiracy-theory film about 9/11.
Take, for instance,
Loose Change. I hadn't gotten around to it. And then I was going through some video files on another computer and ended up watching a BBC show called ... I think,
Conspiracy Files. It was typical hyperdramatic pabulum, but the one thing I got from the episode was that Dylan Avery was such a prig I actually wanted to see his film.
So much of the conspiracy discussion is set with a contemptuous tone that speaks poorly of its ambition.
Loose Change isn't about 9/11. It's about Dylan Avery. This "Ultimate Con" is about Lucus. In their own right, they do important work, but the point isn't about debunking. The truth of the matter will do the debunking. This level of criticism almost precludes itself entirely from actually being right by nature of its outlook.
Truth is stranger than fiction. There's a reason for this. It's because
fiction is obliged, at some point, to start making sense.
And that's how I know they're wrong.
