Title: The Making of a Conspiracist

The Making of a Conspiracist

This is a story I did not want to write. One of my friends and collaborator over the years has now turned into a full-fledged conspiracist -- he has
become a 9/11 truther, a believer that the Mossad killed Kennedy and that the Jews have contributed nothing to humanity. It's quite a sad
story -- to see this personally.

I will never understand why some people have a predisposition to blame the Jewish people for all the ills of the planet. It is every bit as vile as any other form of bigotry yet there are places where this attitude is actually tolerated and even condoned.

Sounds like the current Democrat Party.

Certainly some elements of it as well as elements of academia. They will tolerate bigotry against the Jewish people that they would vigorously condemn if it was aimed at black or Hispanic people.

I find it mind boggling that anyone would fall for the 9/11 Truther craziness. They should read some of Dr. David Mantik's research on the DNA evidence that proves that DNA from most of the hijackers was found at the WTC site, at the Pentagon crash site, and at the crash site in PA, proving that planes did in fact hit the Pentagon and Shanksville, PA. (9/11 Truthers don't deny that planes hit the WTC towers--yeah, since there are films showing the planes slamming into the towers).

Sadly, a number of left-wing WC skeptics have embraced the absurd theory that the Mossad played a role in JFK's death.

It sounds like Mansur has bought into Jihadism. Many Jihadists peddle 9/11 Trutherism and claim that Israel purposely attacked the USS Liberty in 1967.

They have not exactly helped their case in recent years.

If I could make just one suggestion, I would recommend that you distinguish between 9/11 conspiracy theorists, who constitute a tiny fringe and whose views have been rejected by every government study and investigation, and those who posit a conspiracy in the JFK assassination, who constitute a majority of Americans and Europeans and who have included U.S. presidents and vice presidents, members of Congress, members of the military and the intelligence community, numerous experts in relevant fields, and the House Select Committee on Assassinations.

I would change the title of the thread to "The Making of a 9/11 Conspiracist."

I asked you recently in another thread where to find that research, but you refused to answer. Apparently, it's reserved for private email chains.
