When the human waste products peddling the Loose Change documentary got caught stealing their footage from the two French brothers who had been doing a documentary on the FDNY when the planes hit, the always classy 9/11 conspiracy crowd or as they like to be called "The 9/11 Truth Movement" (much as Holocaust deniers like to be called The Holocaust Truth Movement since it sounds better than Evil Nazi Sympathizers) began accusing the brothers of being part of the conspiracy, posted personal information and photos of women from the law firm that sent the letter and began barraging them with threats.
On the food chain of vile and disgusting behavior, 9/11 Conspiracists are one step above the Westboro Baptist Church. They comprise a collection of loons, who are the meeting place where the far-right and the far-left meet. As Dustin Hoffman said about the Weatherman in the aftermath of a bombing at his home "At a certain point the radical right and the radical left merged. They shook hands." 9/11 conspiracies are where the far- right and the far-left have shaken hands over their joint hatred of America, the American government and their endorsement of any means that would overthrow it.
The far right and the far left have both extensive experience in historical revisionism. The far right has dedicated enormous efforts to Holocaust denial. The far left has created a blanket of silence over the crimes of Communism and the murder of uncounted millions by Stalin and the USSR. At 9/11 for the first time they joined bloody hands for a project of historical revisionism that fuses their common belief that the American government is a force of evil and any problem must be laid at its door with the not so subtle corollary that terrorists are ultimately our allies in overthrowing the force of evil that is the US government. Like the Neo-Nazis who secretly think the Holocaust was a good idea that didn't go far enough and the Left-Wingers who think that Stalin's brutalities would be a fitting answer to Haliburton and the Bush Administration, their modern heirs approve of 9/11 and the murder of thousands of Jew Yorkers and the Apostles of Globalization and Capitalism. They however can't admit it. And that's where 9/11 denial comes from.
9/11 denial is not a reasoned process. I live in Lower Manhattan and I saw the first posters blaming the US government and claiming Muslim terrorists weren't at fault mere days after the attacks when downtown itself had been shut down. Their first reaction even while the rescue efforts went on was to defend their ideological allies in Afghanistan. They held phony memorials for the victims of September 11th and of "American atrocities around the world." They could never permit themselves to admit that thousands of innocent people died at the hands of Islamic terrorists, because they cannot admit to the existence of any evil beyond America. Denial was a reflex.
The milder forms of 9/11 denial involved describing the attacks as "blowback" for CIA operations or calling it "payback" for supporting Israel. By now these forms of 9/11 denial have gone mainstream as the rhetoric of Noam Chomsky gives way to Newsweek editorials and the stump speeches of Ron Paul. These though were just the gateway for the hard core conspiracists who would go on to argue that the CIA and the Mossad were actually behind the attacks. Here Arab conspiracy theories finally fused with Western radical conspiracy theories. Arab conspiracy theories originally fed by Western works like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and Nazi literature came full circle to be embraced in Russia, France, Germany and Berkeley. The Far-Right and the Far-Left shook hands with each other and then shook hands with Muslim terrorists for a grand alliance that had David Duke delivering lectures in Arab countries, Noam Chomsky writing the introduction to a Holocaust denier's book and radical Muslim organizations participating in Neo-Trotskyist Anti-War rallies.
The one thing that unites this evil alliance is their burning desire to bring down Western civilization onto a burning pyre out of whose ashes they plan to build their perfect societies. But for that to happen, America must fall. The American Far-Right and Far-Left have long indulged in fantasies of leading a revolutionary campaign to overthrow the US government. The Far-Right has The Turner Diaries, a novel of the overthrow of America accompanied by the classical Nazi program of genocide and dropping nuclear weapons on Israel. The Far-Left has endless revolutionary texts predicting the fall of capitalism, the onset of a fascist tyranny followed by a bloody revolution and purges as a socialist utopia emerges out of the flames.
Both seek to resurrect their glory days under Stalin and Hitler, yet at the same time both recognize that they are incapable of actually leading and fighting that revolution. Islam's bloody jihad represents their answer. In their propaganda Islam is the force of the oppressed coming to bring down the American government and to do the bloody work the David Duke's and Noam Chomsky's are too cowardly to take on themselves. Islamic terrorist attacks forces governments to adopt security measures that radical movements can then use as ammunition to argue that we are living under a tyranny and radicalize their more moderate cousins.
To the Far-Right and the Far-Left, Islamic terrorists are the cannon-fodder with which to secure their revolution and their Utopian society. 9/11 was exactly what they had dreamed of for a long time, the glorious act of wholesale destruction to which the Oklahoma City bombing or the ALF's bouts of environmentalist vandalism could only aspire to.
With Bin Laden and his cohorts providing the wholesale destruction, the Far-Right and the Far-Left maintain their side of the partnership by providing the propaganda that stigmatizes every action America takes and redirects the blame for even the actions of the terrorists back onto America. While the terrorists stab us from the front, they stab us in the back. 9/11 denial serves as a key tool in undermining the War on Terror by not only arguing that there is no actual terrorism but that it was carried out by the US government itself.
This is a common practice by the allies of Muslim terrorism. In Russia apologists for Muslim Chechnyan terrorists claim the KGB is actually behind many of the attacks attributed to the the Chechnyans. In Israel some left-wingers and Pro-Islamic conspiracy theorists like Barry Chamish have claimed that Israel was behind many of the attacks attributed to Hamas. In the US Democratic Congresswoman Carolyn McKinney inspired an outpouring of anger from the Indian-American community when she claimed that Islamic terrorist attacks in India had actually been carried out by the Indian government. Time and time again the patterns recurs across the world.
When Muslim terrorists blow up a building or open fire on a crowded bus, their apologists quickly come out claiming that the government was behind it. The so-called 9/11 Truth Movement is only a piece of that larger movement which seeks to shift the blame from Muslim terrorists for their attacks to the government of that country. The conspiracy theories and shoddy collections of absurd evidence, the painfully amateurish documentaries and pasted flyers are just the propoganda tools for the world's largest form of historical revisionism, Terrorism Denial.
The milder form of Terrorism Denial is pervasive within the Democratic party and among Liberals where the usual approach to terrorism is to ignore its existence or to argue that global warming and the extinction of the penguins are far graver threats. On the political fringes though terrorism denial is widespread and well-organized, backed up by rhetoric and arguments, by phony claims and phonier documentaries of government involvement and shadow worlds of conspiracies and secret insurgencies.
Terrorism Denial victimizes Jews as much of the world deliberately pretends that Palestinian terrorism consists of a few rock throwing little boys. Terrorism Denial victimizes much of the world from Australia to America to Europe as Islamic attacks are ignored and Islam itself is praised as a religion of peace.
Terrorism Denial, of which 9/11 Denial is only a subset, is the blindfold wrapped across the eyes of civilization, that in turn becomes its strangling cord.
Or a line from total anarchy (no organization, no civilization, no language, no clans, every man or beast for himself) to totalitarianism (life is regulated by the State).
The organization/ownership of that State in total control can differ (Fascist, Communist, etc.) but you’d still be living in a dictatorship.
In a civilized society, we’d like a balance between personal liberty and stability/security (free from outside/internal threats of theft and violence).
When you take it to the extreme.. everyone is thinking too narrow of terms.
Think of it this way, if this was formatted as a line, the further left you go, the more you increase government control, the further right you go, the more you decrease government control. If you take the leftward path to the extreme, you would have 100% collectivist, even to the left of Communism. If you follow the line to the extreme right, there would be no government control whatsoever, thus, anarchy. My point in the previous is dealing with human nature, power vacuums are filled by the power hungry, and people rebel against too much control.
In the modern world, we live in a very small section on the line and we don't really see it taken to the extreme on large scales.
Hitler’s rage in WWII was blowback for WWI. Doesn’t make the little dictator’s actions “justified” in any way.
David Duke ran as a Democrat and then as an Independent long before he ever ran as a Republican in Louisiana.
9/11 denial is not a reasoned process.

Within days, Michael Moore and the LaRouchians were both soliciting ANY evidence/accounts that it was REALLY "Timothy McVeigh" types who hijacked the planes and other conspiracy theories.
I no longer have the LaRouchian email that was forwarded to me.

PS. Three days ago, I learned from someone at ABC News that ABC had videotape -- an angle of the second plane crashing into the tower -- that showed an F-16 fighter jet trailing the plane at a distance.(emphasis is mine) Denial ain't a river.I have not shared this with you as I had not personally witnessed that tape myself and did not want to contribute to all the unsubstantiated rumors. It just came across on the TV that the government admitted they did dispatch fighter jets when they knew the planes were off course.
From this point, I will pass on any censored information to those of you in the mainstream media who are being blocked from reporting.
Is it becoming more clear now that the plane that went down in Pennsylvania was shot down to prevent it from attacking its destination?
The truth is harrowing, unbearable -- but it must be told to us. A free people cannot make an informed decision if they are kept in the dark. Let's hear ALL the truth NOW.
There is no way we can call Joe Sobran, Pat Buchanan and Paul Craig Roberts leftists. There are political factions out there, and we must distinguish among them.
This is the second time this week this Daniel Greenfield douche has posted nonsense. Ron Paul never gave a "stump speech" denying terrorism on 9-11.
Besides the fact, I haven't heard this "far left meets far right" business here on FR since the ol' liberal enema of '07.
ping for later
David Duke is a Nazi and therefore, far left. I can't believe I have to explain this on FR.
You'd probably like some of the alternate-history novels Newt Gingrich has written.
I must admit, for such a retarded original article, this thread turned out to be a pretty intelligent intellectual discussion. Well done, all.
I love them...
High volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel, WOT

The author errors, substantially and throughout the article, by repeating the leftist-created propaganda that the Nazis and their like were/are on the “right”, when factually, in their genesis and their program they come from the left and have their closest political cousins in the Communists.
Good point. I think Ayn Rand said it best; the only difference between Nazis and Communists was the color of the uniforms.
That’s exactly what I’ve thought. Some people are so far right they’re left.
“Good point. I think Ayn Rand said it best; the only difference between Nazis and Communists was the color of the uniforms.”
As Oriana Fallaci said in “Force of Reason”, in WWII, many commies and the Nazis, and Nazi supporters, simply switched their uniforms (back and forth), across Europe, depending on the course of the war in their locale.
Since then, the Socialists/Communists have defined the "Left" as themselves, and anybody opposing them as being "the Right", which would put the National Socialists (who were ideologically similar to the Communists, differing mainly on their ideas of Hitler being in charge rather than Stalin) and the United States as being on the "Right"
