Good article. "Loose Change" is a blast from the past. In the beginning i didn't feel much affinity with the 9/11 truther stuff, still there was some conflict as there were many on Tornado Alley who gave it all some credence. And what did i know. Not much. On my initial introduction to Loose Change i appreciated it for the work which had gone into it.
"A Comprehensive History of 'Loose Change'—and the Seeds It Planted in Our Politics"
Some reflecting some of my early learning here and some Loose Change history from back then.
PLEASE, Take this as a rough, i got fed up in the end, rotflmao! kinda vaccine to provide some some antidote for the 9/11 Constipationarypiracy virus which has kinda infected this board. Why the name? It speaks for itself, but will briefly suggest there is much evidence that in some in the movement the virus creates, there is a sense of mental constipation, stuck in a somewhat emotionally based mind-set, and there certainly has been piracy involved.

Hmm, this one continues my learning of American conspiracists
And by then i'd learned a little of Alex Jones and that crowd.

It's fun and informative to revisit a decade and more past. Thanks very much for yours.
