Buy Or Don’t Buy

The Truth is out there!

I think I’ve managed to devise a really quick and easy way to sort out whether or not a person is worth my time: Asking them how they feel about 9/11 Truth Activists and judge them based on their response.

If they get all pissed off and indignant about how ‘Truthers’ just need to get over it
They suck. They’re probably a Republican. Stay away from them.

If they’re like “meh who cares”
They probably have better things to worry about, or are like, a teenager or something. Proceed with caution.

If they laugh a little and segue into a rational conversation about past actions of the CIA and the melting temperature of steel
They will be fun to talk to. They probably consider world views outside of their own, and will not shock you with the revelation that they voted for Bush. Twice.

If their eyes start to glass over, and they begin to foam at the mouth about how the government is out to get you

They will also be fun to talk to. But they are fucking batshit crazy. And will probably follow you home with like 20 petitions for an independent investigation that they want you to pass around.

Don’t get me wrong, I think by now we get the gist of what happened on that fateful September 11th, a full 7 years ago. But people… I should probably remind you that NEVER FORGET also means that we can’t just gloss over the black holes and missing intelligence that’s become apparent in the years since. It’s important that we never fully accept reality as it’s explained to us by the media and the government. Go ahead. QUESTION AUTHORITY! Second guess your parents. Ask for accountability from those you elect.  Wear your oversized airbrush World Trade Center T-shirts! Wear them proud! INVESTIGATE! It’s only when we have a fully engaged citizenry that everybody wins.  So, on this 7th anniversary of all that 9/11 shit, remember the patriots who dared to question.  The truth is out there.
