4. Responsibility of the truth movement
Monbiot is joining in the campaign of lefitst denial and being cowardly, because he is well aware of the case that 9/11 was orchestrated to happen as it did so that the regime could launch its global war and implement its program. So he lines up to pretend that Loose Change makes that case, ignores books like Nafeez Ahmed's (which was reviewed in his paper), and adds only to the noise.

But all those who were involved in the earlier stages of the truth movement, who knew the case as given by the likes of Ahmed, and then adopted and praised Loose Change because it was cool and popular (turning this into self-fulfilling prophecy) - those who made excuses for it because it was well-intentioned and unity is necessary - they are just as responsible. This is what happens when we don't establish our own standards and identity - it ends up defined by whoever can grab the bullhorn of the moment. So the focus has been usurped from War on Freedom and the 9/11 timeline and Ruppert and exposing the cover-up and allying with the families and a criminal justice approach... and shifted to In Plane Site, the daily hysterias of Alex "fact check" Jones, LC2, 9/11 Hoboken, Fetzer's "Scholars," open-tent for any fucking mystical bullshit about the "Iluminati" - all of these go down as laughable sooner or later, but not before they offer fat and rich targets for the debunkers. Does it matter that the real scholars group, the one that picked up 89 percent of the original membership and created a credible site, even exists? When FOX calls, when Monbiot attacks, they can pick and choose. And a large part of the blame lies with all of us who understood the 9/11 evidence and didn't show a collective discipline about pursuing a strategy with integrity, staying focused and establishing a clear identity for the movement.
