In a previous post I suggested that the conspiracist position on Flight 93 is a contradiction when combined with the “controlled demolition” of the WTC towers. User tanabear believes this needs further explanation: “I fail to see why those claims contradict one another. The Twin Towers were brought down via explosive charges and a plane […]

Poking Holes in the C-Ring
Monday, January 21, 2008
Conspiracists often try to claim that the “official story” contains contradictions, or has “omissions” which- they believe- makes it suspect, and therefore impossible- and then try to insert their own ridiculous assertions to try and replace the void left by removing the scientific and widely accepted theory. As is often the case- they fail to […]
Casualties of War
Friday, December 7, 2007
The first casualty of war is the truth- a quote attributed to many individuals which rings true for the war against irrationality. Not only is truth the first causality, but logic quickly follows. A good indicator of irrational thinking is when an individual contradicts themselves repeatedly. In reality, contradictions do not exist- which is why […]
Conspiracism and Bigotry
Friday, November 30, 2007
Conspiracists often whine that they are compared or associated with Antisemitic elements within the movement. The problem is that this issue is inherent in the “us” and “them” attitude that conspiracists often espouse. By this, I mean any time a conspiracist claims that “the government is” such and such.
The method involves first categorizing any action […]
LC:FC Protest Final Thoughts
Sunday, November 11, 2007
After flyering the release of Loose Change: Final Cut at the local theater, one thought really sticks in my head. It should come as no surprise that people repeat lies which have already been debunked, but it was still amazing to me how many people are unfamiliar with the facts surrounding the collapse of Building […]

Never Forget
Tuesday, September 11, 2007
Six years ago today I was getting ready for work. A news story flashed across the screen stating a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. A horrible tragedy, I thought. Pilot error? Fog? How do you miss one of the largest buildings in the world? I pondered for just a bit, and then […]
Cheaters never win
Monday, August 27, 2007
Long ago the infamous wacko known as “bsregistration” in the YouTube world posted an absurd video claiming that I have “Ignored the evidence of exotic weaponry used on 9/11“. The title alone can cause violent spasms in the neck. Needless to say, a thorough debunking video was posted by me as a response. Though my […]
The Enemies of Reason
Wednesday, August 15, 2007
(Update: Clip is no longer available. Please visit the Richard Dawkins site to see the full video.)
I cannot help but post this video clip. Dawkins has really been an inspiration for me personally- and this clip from him really emphasizes why. Dawkins has taken a very strong approach in combating anti-reason and here he attacks […]
Common Responses to the 9/11 Conspiracy Challenge
Tuesday, August 14, 2007
I’ve been presenting my Challenge to conspiracists for a couple years now and the attempts to answer it have all been quite similar. In an effort to shave some time off the attention I have to put forward to some of these answers, allow me to give a summary of the rebuttals to some of […]
