Red State Tinfoil


Somehow I liked it better when the people in the Rocky Mountain states who muttered about and did internet searches for government conspiracies could be dismissed as just right-wing nutballs.



Not anymore:



Tim Gale became a believer one day last January. He was prowling the Internet when he came across a video of one of the World Trade Center towers collapsing on Sept. 11, 2001. It was likely a video Gale had seen before, but this footage was in slow motion. As Gale watched the tower’s 110 floors begin to crumble, he noticed something unusual.



Right before the tower dropped into a cloud of debris, the windows on the upper levels of the towers blew outwards, one floor at a time, like clockwork. That wasn’t caused by the plane slamming into the tower or the ensuing fire, Gale told himself.



There were bombs in the World Trade Center.



"It blew my head off," says Gale. "I started searching like crazy."



What Gale found, in countless websites, books and films, was a vast network of information questioning the official story of what happened on Sept. 11. The 42-year-old Boulder resident was inundated with decades-old memos, foreign newspaper clippings, engineering studies and national-defense policies. And he discovered the collapse of the World Trade Center was just the beginning–he believes he’s witnessing the collapse of the American society.



"I was being confronted with the raw fact that the U.S. government was complicit in the mass murder of its own citizens for geopolitical purposes," says Gale. "It’s too much to bear in the confines of your mind."





What's astounding about this article is not just that it's in print media (albeit an alternative newsweekly), but that it details the reasons why groups like 9/11 Truth (and your humble blogger) believe as they do. Certainly the utter lack of transparency and only limited cooperation by the Administration in the many investigations only feed the notion that something is at the very least fishy in the official story.
