The Desperation of the Truth Movement

What is the state of the truth movement at the moment? I think it is on a rapid decline. The peak of the movement came somewhere in 2006, around 5 years after 9/11. After that peak, the movement's drive started changing it's direction and is increasingly pointing downwards.

Some recent events pinpoint the increasing desperation of the movement.

• Loose Change FC has not yet been released. The fact, that whatever they put in their new film has already been debunked, put's them in a deep hole. Their last film has been so popular but also so debunked. They can not make the previous claims anymore and they don't have new ones. Truth Movement wants the FC to be it's saviour. The pressure is on Avery & co to produce something new. And everybody else is waiting to debunk them. They would be better off never releasing a new film. But the Movement demands it. They can not win.

• The Movement is now relying on very suspicious, most likely fake evidence. The recent anonymous EMT Mike -letter is a prime example. Obvious falsehoods throughout the letter, but they promote it like a shining star proof.

• They start recycling old claims. This can be seen in prisonplanet.com. They don't have any new theories to post, so to keep the Movement alive they have recently posted many old stories to keep the theories alive.

• The Movement has divided into multiple subgroups. The Scholars split. JDX sent an e-mail attacking Dylan. Killtown vs. PDoh. Missiles, No Planes, Beam Weapons, LIHOP, no unity.

• They do not research. The alive claims could be easily proven. But according to David Ray Griffin, the Movement has no money to do that really tiny bit of research to prove at least one single point of their theories. But they have money to make films. They get salaries, at least the Scholars do. They tour the world lecturing. Griffin was in Denmark, William Rodriguez is on a UK tour. Those are arranged by the local truth movements. But they have no money to go to Middle East? Or contact some local people there? No, that would prove that their claims are wrong.

• Debunkers have done a good job. All Truther claims have been addressed. A couple of years ago there was not so much debunking, so the films and claims seemed more believable. Nowadays it is known that they are full of falsehoods.

• Truthers can not organize. They have no leader, or a bright star. They now try to protest on 11th of every month, by that is not organized at all. No places mentioned, no times mentioned, no agenda mentioned, no organizers mentioned. No success expected.

• They eat out their own credibility by not changing their views on debunked facts. People are seeing the desperation when impossible claims are not revised or corrected. They are repeated.

So what does that leave the Truth Movement with? It leaves them in a struggle with ever decreasing popularity. It leaves them with false hopes that LCF will be their saviour. It leaves them with made up evidence and recycling to keep their theories alive. It leaves them with big hopes of a new celebrity to join their ranks to gain some desperate visibility, but they have only managed to get Charlie Sheen, David Lynch and Michael Moriarty. And no visibility. It will eventually leave them with only few hardcore CT'ers, like Alex Jones, who will have some minor cult-like following. And it leaves them twisting every future event to fit their CT view of the world. Just in case somebody would join their ranks after seeing those claims. Because, what if the leaders are not telling us everything... What if there still is the New World Order out there.. What if..
