Well, 8bit, to just go to your original question here, I'll put this to you:
The day when you can imagine Wolf Blitzer saying out loud, on CNN, anything about 9/11 being anything other than the official story, is the day when things might change.
In short, he's never going to say anything of the sort. None of the corporate media ever will.
The entire corporate owned media colluded with the neo-cons to reinforce the official story. From Paul Greengrass's "Flight 93" or whatever it was called, to even Oliver Stone, yes THAT Oliver Stone, who made a movie commemorating and etching in stone the official story, to the admitted propaganda of the show "24" to the obvious propaganda from Disney "The Path to 9/11" to President Obama repeating the same old worn-out psyops bullshit ....
Talking to people about 9/11 is like talking to them about ghosts. I never knew how many people had had (for lack of a better term) ghostly encounters with the supernatural until I had had them myself, and made a film about it, and then people started coming up and talking to me, and I was just shocked how many people had had similar experiences, I mean it was really striking. 9/11 is like that. People aren't stupid, an awful lot of people have figured out they're being lied to and that the official story is completely bogus, but they aren't going to talk about it for fear of it getting to their employers or whatever, or just that same thing that makes people not talk about supernatural encounters UNLESS they know they're talking to someone who won't think they're crazy.
But there's also this thing: Most people are completely unaware of the Deep State, and have absolutely no awareness of parapolitics. Very few people have any idea of any of this. They think it's what they see on TV and what they were taught in 8th grade social studies classes. So they simply don't have the framework, mentally, on which to hang any alternate theories of 9/11.
Also, 8bit, you are completely discounting the deeply impactful Psy Ops nature of the attacks themselves. Almost everybody, even myself, was hammered by that event, just traumatized into accepting the official story. And I'm talking TRAUMATIZED.
For a lot of people to accept what we consider the truth about 9/11 is emotionally akin to asking them to accept that a loved relative who they watched die, that they buried, and who they mourned, ISN'T ACTUALLY DEAD. That's why people get so fucking angry when you present them with this stuff. They are emotionally quite unwilling to consider that their emotions were manipulated, that they mourned something that was a lie (I mean, they mourned actual dead people, but hopefully you know what i'm saying -- I'm extremely tired as I write this). They are emotionally invested in what they were told was the truth then and they do NOT want to deal with the ramifications of their trauma being a trick. They turn the anger of that onto the messenger and shut down.
That's what we're up against. You're asking an awful lot of your average person if you expect them to follow us over the rubicon.
This is one of those things that only a few people are going to venture to delve into. It's just how it is.
I always compare it to Santa Claus. Remember when you realized Santa Claus wasn't real? And you still knew a ton of kids who hadn't figured it out yet? It's like that. Only we're all adults now, and Santa Claus is a mass murderer.
And just one more thing -- I like you, but I have to say your thread title and your attitude seems needlessly provocative here, you want to point fingers and lay blame? Point fingers and lay blame at the people who did it, not the people who haven't figured it out yet. You're blaming the victim, which just isn't a very cool thing to do. It also seems you're just looking for an excuse to complain about your "smarmy" leftists and whatnot.
