Part 2
1. Build a web site or a blog. Post some quotes. But… where do I find some quotes you ask? see number 2
2. Quote Mining: This will be one of your best ways of compiling “Truther facts”. Lets say you find a quote about 9/11 like this from a NY fireman….
“It was weird how it started to come down. It looked like it was a timed explosion, but I guess it was just the floors starting to pancake one on top of the other. “
Now just remove the last line and bingo you got a quote you can live with
“It was weird how it started to come down. It looked like it was a timed explosion”
EXTRA CREDIT: can you edit these quotes to make them sound… well… more Truthier.
“And as my eyes traveled up the building, and I was looking at the south tower,somewhere about halfway up, my initial reaction was there was a secondary explosion, and the entire floor area, a ring right around the building blew out. i later realized that the building had started to collapse already and this was the air being compressed and that is the floor that let go.”
or this Pentagon witness.
“It was no more than 30 feet off the ground, and it was screaming. It was just screaming. It was nothing more than a guided missile at that point,” I can still see the plane. I can still see it right now. It’s just the most frightening thing in the world, going full speed, going full throttle, its wheels up,”
3. MAKE STUFF UP. Go ahead no one is checking, least of all your loyal truther fans.
4. Find some “experts” Get a guy with a Phd to back up your claims. Now experts with real expertise in things like large scale building engineering may be hard to find and due to their knowledge most likely won’t buy your Conspiracy Theory anyway. No Matter any Phd will do just don’t mention your expert on building collapse has a Phd in theology and has not built anything in his life. Software Engineers are very useful for this sort of thing due to the ENGINEER title, just don’t let on he builds computer programs.
