McCain Ad?
Why did I see a McCain Ad on this page? Does his campaign select what websites they want to advertise on?
Dunno. Was this a recent
Dunno. Was this a recent thing??? I think we may have had a few questionable ads in the past, but nothing recently I don't think...
It is being pulled from a
It is being pulled from a pool of syndicated ads from google adsense based on content of the website - so whomever set the keywords for the mccain campaign ad is being represented in the text of 911blogger.

Bugger, I was going to vote this a "10"
Oh well.
It's important to note it doesn't matter how accurate or inaccurate the info is--it's an attack because the person attacking :
1: believes this info to be true, and
2: is intentionally using it in an attempt to intimidate
Otherwise, they wouldn't do it.

No explanation required. And yet... :)
The necessity for such an uncompromising position on this has been well conveyed many times here by many thoughtful and concerned participants. And many of the most thoughtful of us may have lost out temper before and said things in a way that we later regretted. We don't need to feel like this is pointing the finger at anyone. Its just a strong reminder of something that we should all be able to agree upon.
Don't post personal information. First, just call people what they call themselves on the forum. I know some of the people who post here personally, and yet would never think to refer to them by their names on a public forum in which they have chosen a handle. Don't post people's e-mail addresses, phone numbers, or addresses.
No name calling. Don't use colorful metaphors to describe others. Don't use over-generalizing terms to describe others. Critique words and actions in a reasonable manner. That can certainly be with great urgency, and this place would be no fun without a bit of snotty humor here and there. But no logical argument is advanced by making derogatory remarks about those who are disagreeing with you.
No attacks. That's a bit broad, but we should all be able to understand why this was stated. 911blogger is a resource that is utilized by a diverse group of people who participate in the movement. That necessarily results in people posting here with very different views. And that creates an environment in which frustrated exchange is more likely. And so, in such a diverse and divergent environment we must all be committed to a discourse free of personally directed anger. We are all here because we have something concerning all of us far more important than any one of us.
We have some pretty sincere disagreements in here. And in some cases we should be able to agree to disagree, as this venue is not an ideological territory to be won by one side or another. We could all certainly do a better job at keeping in mind the many things we do have in common. Once again, consider the implications of maintaining diversity.
Just my take on it. Be logical, adaptive, and civil.
International Truth Movement
http://www.truthmove.org
You've posted a very good collection of guidelines for
..a well moderated forum. ;-)
In the past trollish sorts have been able to take advantage of a common mistake open minded sorts make in moderating: wanting to bend over backwards to show their fair mindedness and respect of free speech. This will ALWAYS be ruthlessly exploited by those who only intent is to disrupt, for whatever reason.
These same fair minded sorts also expect people to be saints and ignore trollish behavior above and beyond the call of duty. Supposedly, by ignoring it it goes away. A quick check at GW thread about attacking activists is exhibit A on why that doesn't work. Look at the amount of posts by an individual not getting a response, but they keep at it. I'm finding this rather instructive--this is the difference between someone being disruptive due to their "issues" and someone who has an agenda. In the first case, ignoring them WILL make them go away--not so in the second case. In the second case, not only will it NOT make them go away, but their continued antics WILL discourage people from posting who might otherwise have.
Expecting us to behave ourselves and not lash out is a reasonable request, provided it is complemented by swift moderator intervention when problems do arise. It is unreasonable to expect people to be attacked ad nausim and not respond.
I'll close by thanking the mods at 911Blogger for updating comment guidelines to reflect the needs of our times. ;-)

Clarification...
This should be all you need to know: if you're here to cause trouble, you'll be banned.
No name calling, personal attacks, posting of personal information, or posting of disinfo.
Hmmmm .......
How about theories that 99.999999999% of the scientists, engineers and architects in the 911 truth movement -- who have demonstrated their commitment to truth by punching holes in the government's story, even when it caused them to risk everything -- say are contrary to the facts and the laws of science?
(No longer a mod -- so i don't speak for anyone).
Theories that
contradict the facts and laws of science and which are easily disprovable DO support the official story -- because they make those who question the official story look foolish.
How about polling the scientists, engineers and architects
who have criticized the government's story about which theories they think are possible given the evidence and which they think are contradicted by the evidence.
What do you think they would say?
Well, if 99.99999999% percent of the good-guy scientists
think a theory is unlikely, wouldn't anyone who persists in publicly discussing such theory be creating disinformation?
Mr. KT,
by good guys, I mean scientists, engineers or architects who have already put their derriere on the line by criticizing the official story.
When you say "And, pushing a theory that may be wrong is not "disinformation" unless you KNOW it is wrong and you still push it. If it's wrong but you don't know/think it is, then one is only pushing misinformation."
Mr. Fetzer wrote a paper arguing this also. A prominent Oxford professor of Mr. Fetzer's same discipline cried foul, and said this argument will tend to encourage and spread disinformation.
Anyway, misinformation can be as dangerous and harmful to truth and justice as disinformation -- it is largely a distinction without a difference.
Mr. KT,
I'm not a mod, so don't ask me about what theories are what.
Scientists etc. can be contacted to verify their poll, if need be?
That's a good point. We should be even more rigorously critical
of nice people who tell us what we want to hear
than we are of the official lies.
I agree with KT
Can we please get some clarification here?
A detailed list that inconclusively proves each "disinfo theory" is in deed DISINFO would be FANTASTIC.
I'm hoping the proof supplied won't be the ridiculous debunking of September Clues done by Mike Swenson.
You'd think requesting a FORBIDDEN list wouldn't be to much
to ask for. I mean how do we know what not to discuss here?

That's ridiculous
I'm guessing there's a reason why you are purposely being obtuse.
George Washington and dz have apparently left a vacuum.
Pardon me when I laugh when all of the negavoters end up regretting not speaking out against this. Because they will be among the first to have this "new policy" used against them. Wait and see.
There seems to be an increasing amount of self-destructive behavior in the management of this website. If you're that tired, don't systematically kill it, pass it on to new blood so that it can continue and thrive.

If you guys who are playing
If you guys who are playing the victim in this thread and consistently getting modded down have any objections to actions that the admins have already taken, why don't you post any examples? Are you just playing devil's advocate? Or do you just like being disagreeable? How have you been wronged? Why do you think any of this is even directed at you?
It seems clear to me that if you have the kind of first-hand evidence that CIT does at the Pentagon, or Steven Jones does at the WTC, your theories should stand on their own with their evidence, and you should have no objections from posting them here. If they're just abstract theorizing and fantasizing that intimidates and scares away new members that don't want to lose grasp of reality along with you, or be involved in any of that, you probably will have objections. You'll be modded down, voted down, you'll get people disagreeing with you, and if you're that much of a distraction, it appears the mods will now take action. I don't have any problem with that. We don't have all the time in the world for this stuff. We need direction. We need action, and therefore we need actionable evidence.
May I suggest that if you have any real objections to anything that 911blogger has done to you, if you feel you can't post your objections here, post them on one of the related discussion forums. You know where they are. A bit of a disclaimer: they probably won't be well received there either, but if you actually had any problems with the way things work here that were legitimate, that would be the appropriate course of action. You're not going to accomplish much by just constantly arguing with the admins here, when those same admins are supposedly "censoring" you here. I still see all your modded-down posts in this thread, do you? This constant bickering is a complete waste of time.
Good for you, PC

Request for list of forbidden theories/topics here
I just want to know what is considered "disinfo" here so I, or any other member, know that it is forbidden to be discussed here so we won't get banned.
It is a courteous request.

First of all, these are not
First of all, these are not "new" policies, we've been trying to keep the peace here for a long time, unfortunately things appear to be escalating, so people need to be reminded.
Second of all, lets not be coy, we've all been involved long enough to know which theories are not welcome. The Truth Community has spoken and any ridiculous theories need to be taken elsewhere.
You forgot one...
What about no-plane at the pentagon?

I wouldn't go that far, (at least not yet), but I do wish that Alex Jones would quit propping himself up as the lead spokesperson for our movement. That, and his histrionics can be a bit embarassing at times. One of the primary reasons some progressives refuse to entertain the notion of 9/11 truth IS due to Alex Jones, which admittedly, is quite stupid on their part as he does not represent every member of the 9/11 truth and justice movement. But I've seen this kind of voluntary ignorance all over Indymedia and certain "anarchist" sites. When they think of "9/11 truth", automatically "Alex Jones" comes to mind. That's not cool since our movement needs no single leader.
I think he's an opportunist
I think he's an opportunist and has no real interest in truth or justice, only money and celebrity.

is that why he urges people to burn his movies and give them out for free? is that why he has yet to sue anybody over copyright infringement? seems to me if it was all about money he could have sued plenty of people by now and won. this sites(not everybody of course) all about bringing people down now though.....

Alex Jones is part of the New World Order
- nick9/11
Alex Jones is part of the New World Order. Period. This doesn't mean that he doesn't tell the truth, it just means that his true motives are not true at all.
If that is a personal attack then I guess I am banned. So much for free speech. Good luck America. May God be with us all.
But can you prove it??
Firstly, can you PROVE who the "New World Order" is?
Is it a group of people or an ideology?
If it is an ideology, what makes a person a "part of it"?
If it is a group, can you list names, or do you just have suspects?
If you have suspects, does that make them guilty, or just on your "list" of usual perps?
If you can PROVE that this group exists(like Alex says), is Alex on a list, or is HE a simple suspect?
Does suspicion equal guilt?
For instance, I have a neighbor that I suspect is a child molester. He exhibits all the usual patterns one would exhibit. Should I make a citizens arrest based on my suspicion?
So if you have any information that someone is a shill, disinfo, agent, provocateur, spook, etc. I suggest you PROVE it before speaking or typing anymore about it.
We seem to also have a number of knuckleheads in this "movement" which scream out accusations with bullhorns that someone is a murderer without any proof also. Is this what "we" are? I guess the movement forgets the Rule of Law too and all that silly jazz about "innocent before proven guilty". Seems to be common in some 9/11 groups. I don't think I'm part of the same "movement" they are. And if they were, the seat next to me at any public event would be "taken".
He was leading a bunch of fools around with a bull horn.

Who is the NWO? Just to a search for Bush Sr. and NWO and you will find the answer coming directly from his lips, not mine. If you want to know why Alex Jones is not who he says he is then listen to a TRUE patriot, William Cooper http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAgTFWglHrc It wasn’t until I heard him speak until I fully understood what Alex's role in all of this is. The people here at this site are here to find the truth, but you MUST be very careful to only put your efforts and energy into following the truth. If this movement and their so called leaders would just deal in facts instead of speculation, we wouldn't be the laughing stock of the US right now. Case in point, yesterday I was a a Boarders book store and I saw a book about 9/11, the problem is it was sitting in the same section with the books on UFO's. That is how this movement is seen, as a bunch of idiots that believe in a fairy tale. It doesn’t matter if there is a part to the fairytale that is true because the path that this movement has been led down has turned it into a joke, a circus. Tell me I am wrong, tell me how things went this last September 11th. This movement had 0 visibility. 0 The year before this wasn't the case. And where was our fearless leader on that day? He was leading a bunch of fools around with a bull horn.
Know this, we go to war with Iran and you might as well shut this site down, because at that point it wont matter anymore, sad but true.
Citizen Pawn,
while you make some valid points, your words are HIGHLY divisive and not conducive to building alliances which is exactly what our movement so desperately needs. Please tone down the rhetoric and stick to what needs to get done.
Funny you call me divisive Truthnow
I have, to my knowledge not ONCE accused anyone in 6 years of being "disinfo" or "shill" or whatever pet name applies. I've entertained notions of it once or twice, but never flat out accused anyone of it. To be honest with you, I think this whole "movement" is loaded with people so bored or paranoid that they just sit around all day from the safety of their computers and point fingers at each other. Everyone does it, and I have seen very few that are exempt from it.
If it were up to me, all sides would come together and have an honest scientific based, factual, non biased discussion about the points they AGREE on.
An Alex Jones would be at the table with a Nico Haupt. A Tarpley at the table with those he has accused. Hell this might shock you, but even a Mark Roberts at the table with a David Ray Griffin or a Kevin Ryan. And no that isn't a "Big Tent" scenario. That is in the interest of TRUTH, that word that we wear as a badge daily.
But I gave up on that hope a long time ago, because I realize that in an Internet based world, Truth escapes and accusations of misdeeds fly like there's no tomorrow. And they come from the mouths of EVERYONE, no matter what camp or ideology within the "movement".
So you think I'm divisive and should "tone it down"? Hilarious.
Bill Clinton Speech
Bill Clinton Speech Interrupted By 9/11 Truthers
Clinton's 50-minute speech, which started about an hour behind schedule, was derailed briefly by several hecklers in the audience who shouted that the 2001 terrorist attacks were a fraud. Rather than ignoring them, Clinton seemed to relish a direct confrontation.
"A fraud? No, it wasn't a fraud," Clinton said, as the crowd cheered him on. "I'll be glad to talk to you if you shut up and let me talk."
When another heckler shouted that the attacks were an "inside job," Clinton took even greater umbrage.
"An inside job? How dare you. How dare you. It was not an inside job," Clinton said. "You guys have got to be careful, you're going to give Minnesota a bad reputation."

We have our own eyes, and
We have our own eyes, and our own mouths, we don't need anyone to tell us the truth, we can think for ourselves. We may have different ideas about one aspect of 9/11 here and there, but on the Core Facts, the strongest and most credible aspects we are pretty much united in one solid front.
We don't need another person stepping forward to lead us in circles. The time for following others is over, its time for all of us to lead.

Truth Revolution: The Eleventh of Every Month
Backing Chris here:
DHS is wrong, in my opinion, regarding Alex Jones. Having had the opportunity to have viewed some of his material, I would like to say that he is one of the strongest patriots of our great nation. This man loves America, as we know it, and he really is one of the good guys.
Going with that. Later
Alex Jones is Great
A great liar?
He tells us Ted Anderson is the owner of Genesis Communications Network...
... Then why do corporate papers show the real owner is:
