??!! 9/11 Truthers Hate on WikiLeaks Founder

Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 12:28 PM

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is annoyed at 9/11 Truthers for distracting from the real conspiracies:

"Any time people with power plan in secret, they are conducting a conspiracy. So there are conspiracies everywhere. There are also crazed conspiracy theories. It's important not to confuse these two. Generally, when there's enough facts about a conspiracy we simply call this news." What about 9/11? "I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud."

In the comments at 911 Blogger, Truthers get their revenge on WikiLeaks as only Truthers can:

I would put good money on [Wikileaks] being a CIA front.

OK, IT'S OFFICIAL. JULIAN ASSANGE IS A GATEKEEPER FOR THE GLOBAL ELITE. EITHER THAT OR HIS FAMILY HAS BEEN THREATENED AND HE'S CAVED. ZERO DOUBT.

911 IS THE ULTIMATE TEST FOR ANY TRUE FIGHTER FOR TRUTH AND LIBERTY AS ANYBODY WHO LOOKS AT THE EVIDENCE AND ISN'T A COMPLETE RETARD CAN SEE IT IS SCIENTIFICALLY AND BLATANTLY PROVEN TO BE AN INSIDE JOB AND ASSANGE IS NO RETARD.

There's more after the jump, but you get the idea. Truthers can look at what is possibly the biggest government leak since the Pentagon Papers and declare it not as important as their conspiracies simply because the organization doesn't align with their fantasy worlds. They become eager to declare WikiLeaks a limited hangout or a honeypot, when what they should be doing is poring over these 90,000-plus reports. They claim to want information? The real information about deaths, war crimes, and cover-ups that are happening right now is right in front of them. Why are they ignoring it?

was just thinking about the wiwleaks founder and what he might have receieved regardfing 9/11, and why he might withold on that particular issue.

He said he's sitting on "explosive" stuff, and I was hoping that might be revelations about 9/11, for which I am CERTAIN he must have recieved something or more than something along the way.

What a sell out.

How does he deny the laws of physics? That's the part I don't get. He's a smart guy. He knows - but is here cowtowing to the sacred cow of the elite agenda. Strange, and shameful.

He'll be getting a dose of the truth I'm pretty sure now..

Assange was supposed to be working on something 'really BIG' over the last month or 2, so we'll have a better idea of him if that comes out. Until then, I would now be careful giving him anything big, if I had it.

But 9/11 makes a great litmus test indeed.

Why not just upload useful information somewhere anonymously or leave/mail physical copies around? Wikileaks is obviously a honeypot, and Assange some kind of new media mockingbird asset.

He reminds me of Arianna Huffington. He seems primarily concerned with name and fame. And "leaks" are his shtick. He hasn't shown himself to be a truth seeker, and therefore HAS failed the litmus test, as others have said.

BTW, for all the hype surrounding Wikileaks, I have to say it's not a very interesting or enlightening web site, IMHO.

Paranoid crackpots believe what they want.

@1, 911 is a joke.

Truthers are like Birthers.

Both should be sent to die in Afghanistan's foreign civil war.

good post

But what I really want to know is why Steven King shot John Lennon. How about a little truth about that, Wikileaks? Huh?

John Young who was the co-founder of wikileaks and founder of Cryptome.org became very skeptical since Soros(OSI) started giving wikileaks money... interesting.

So it's more important to highlight that the "Truthers" should be more impressed with Wikileaks then the United States Congress? Congress is likewise not paying attention to the actual leaked details, but rather focusing on who initially leaked the information, a la the Obama Administration. If you haven't been paying attention, Bush investigated those who leaked classified documents but chose not to prosecute them. Obama IS prosecuting them.

Oh "truthers", thank you for this.

Posted by OuterCow on July 27, 2010 at 2:50 PM

Why? Because 911 Truthers are a gang of mentally retarded basement-dwelling pinheads incapable of rational thought.

Posted by HelpMeJebus on July 27, 2010 at 2:54 PM

Will wikileaks be responsible for ending the war? expanding the war? ...neither?

#3 - Thank you. It's hard to type with an affectation, but that's where I was going.

Posted by Dougsf on July 27, 2010 at 3:27 PM

lol. 9/11 was an inside job. It's proven due to the unchangeable immutable laws of physics. Can't argue with those laws, silly people who believe in the government tin foil hat crowd. THE LITMUS TEST FOR ALL GOVERNMENT TRUTH is whether Assange agrees that 9/11 was an inside job. He's too smart to not understand the truth. Therefore, he is an agent of disinformation, unless he changes his tune to align with the facts, that 9/11 is an inside job.

In all seriousness, it wouldn't be the first time the Feds pulled such a stunt.

Posted by Furcifer on July 27, 2010 at 4:55 PM

Fucking PSYOPS, how do they work?

Posted by GlibReaper on July 27, 2010 at 5:00 PM

So the only people they're going to listen to are people who believe the government was responsible for bombing itself? Ya, they're going far...

For Anyone Who Still Thinks Planes and Fire Brought Down the 3 WTC Towers:

Look up the paper:

"Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe," by Niels Harrit, Steven E. Jones, et al. The Open Chemical Physics Journal, 2009, 2, 7-31

Pay close attention to the last sentence in the conclusion.

And unless you're an expert, there isn't much to say since the authors are generally very well respected research scientists.

Don't believe it, try to figure out where they went wrong. Then go to google video and look up "WTC7". And figure it out yourself.

This argument is no longer a matter of opinion. There is simply no denying legitimate science.
