As a matter of fact, Rummy seems to stick his foot in his mouth a lot in the last few years. Anybody remember him making this statement about the logic of a draft, in which Rummy argues against one, saying Vietnam draftees "added no value, no advantage, really, to the United States armed services over any sustained period of time, because the churning that took place, it took enormous amount of effort in terms of training, and then they were gone." Whew, that one caused some sour stomachs among veterans.<br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=chiggerbit@rigorousintuition>chiggerbit</A> at: 8/31/06 1:37 pm<br></i>

My current favorite hit on the charts in all this is by Warren Buffett and the Jets. (Buffett was near Omaha's Sacom on 9-11, and met up with one of those damn Bush's there that day after a jet plowed into Buffett's Berkshire-Hathaway offices at the WTC.) Buffett, the 2nd richest man on the planet, owns "Netjets". Many eyewitnesses saw a small, white jet near the Pennsylvania crash when it happened. <br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Philadelphia Daily News, November 2001: <br>THE MYSTERY PLANE.

There's a huge problem here with trying to come up with a unified field theory of disinformation to explain why you think some people argue this and some people argue that. You have to be careful not to let the disinformational tail wag the evidentiary dog. So I think it's a big mistake to try and frame Rummy's comments around Meyssan (assuming he's somebody's disinfo, and not just sloppy, it seems quite unlikely to me that he's coordinating his campaigns with anyone in the Pentagon or vice versa), Rabinowitz's website around Pentagon Strike or whatever. And quite a bit of the so-called evidence you think is conclusive or established, hasn't really been established at all. Even universal or near universal agreement on something in the 9-11 movement (or even in both the 9-11 movement and the official version) doesn't make it true. <br><br>The fact is nobody here knows who's disinformation and who's not, both because you don't know what you don't know and because it's a sort of phony dualism. These 9-11 people on the internet aren't simply either honest brokers seeking the truth or govt disinfo agents; just about all of them are probably somewhere in between. People like Ruppert, Rabinowitz, Hopsicker, Hoffman, etc. all live in a sort of grey area of manipulation that's probably several layers insulated from any govt agency psy-op teams. Yeah, some are sloppy thinkers, some are gullible, some are very meticulous and well researched on most stuff, but seem to have a blind spot here or there. But all of them make honest mistakes and all of them are being manipulated at least to some extent. (Honest mistakes can actually explain quite a bit of the crap that comes out on 9-11.) Now you could argue that the most credible researchers are there simply to build up credibility with accurate analysis on most 9-11 issues, only to slip in a poision pill in one particular area. And the real truth is fed to the crappy researchers so nobody will believe them. So you can come up with almost any disinfo theory to fit facts and explain what you want to explain, and it really gets you nowhere. (Getting invested into disinfo theories also has the unfortunate effect of causing people to miss important evidence or skew their logic.) Either the facts can be verified or they can't. There is no 'trust me' from anyone in the area of 9-11. <br><br>Take Ruppert for example. There's been a lot of talk about him in another thread. Now I don't find him very credible, but I also rather doubt he's working for the CIA. Ruppert has a hero complex, a persecution complex, and substantial emotional problems. He can self-destruct or misdirect people largely on auto-pilot (the same goes for a great many conspiracy researchers); he doesn't need to be an "agent" or an "asset" to put out crap (or even sabotage his office), and I doubt he is. But that's sort of irrelevant in any event. Either what Ruppert says can verified and checked out or it can't. Either his predictions come true, or they don't. That's about all you can do. Knowing motives or who they work for and all the rest just isn't realistic given the state of knowledge available. <br><br>The other thing to remember is these guys can have all sorts of other loyalities besides the conspiracy readers, even if they're not govt disinformation. They have other audiences beyond the folks at home as well. So keep that in mind too. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=newkid@rigorousintuition>NewKid</A> at: 8/31/06 5:30 pm<br></i>

Excellent summation NK,<br><br>I agree that it is futile/wrong to try & frame anyone with a disinfo tag by association (& my links to the Rabinowitz/Meyssan articles were for others to explore/judge).<br><br>Your poision pill analogy is most certainly ocurring - lets face it, that is what Rendon & their ilk of privatised OSS/CIA organisations are doing/have done - dispensing truckloads of poison pills by their own admission. <br><br>If it is accepted that 911 was an inside job (& we can all argue about the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>depth</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> of the complicity till the cows come home), then Rendon's admitted <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/8798997/the_man_who_sold_the_war/4" target="top">frantic pitching</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> in the immediate aftermath of 911 and beyond, means that there is more disinfo out there than we would dare to imagine (a proportion of their $50 million to $100 million contract value with the Pentagon/Defense Dept between 2000 & 2004).<br> <p></p><i></i>

Good points, NewKid.<br><br>And we should be careful to realize that while there is certainly planted disinformation out there, it is often spread gullibly -- but sincerely -- as misinformation. <p></p><i></i>
