9/11 conspiracy theorists gather at LA conference
2006-06-26
Los Angeles: They wore T-shirts asking "What Really Happened?," snapped up DVDs titled "9/11; The Great Illusion," and cheered as physicists, philosophers and terrorism experts decried the official version of the September 11 attacks that shook America to its core. Some 1,200 people gathered at a Los Angeles hotel on the weekend for what organisers billed as the largest conference on the plethora of conspiracy theories that see the 2001 attacks on Washington and New York as, at best, official negligence, and at worst an orchestrated US attempt to incite world war.

"There are so many prominent people who are incredibly well-respected who have stated that the evidence is overwhelming that 9/11 was an inside job," syndicated radio talk show host Alex Jones told a news conference. "There are hundreds of smoking guns that people need to be made aware of," said Jones, calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush.

#13  No no no, no need for bombers, or black helicopters. These people are utter jokes, and taking 'em out that way only gives them attention.

Why not drop some acid in their water supply, as well as a healthy dose of salmonella or something else just as effective on the gastro-intestinal tract. That should generate plenty of discussion points for them.

Or why not put some of those low-frequency riot control devices in the hall (on the queasy stomach or low-grade paranoia setting).

Or have someone in a black suit and shades walk through the hall, talking into his cuff. Bonus points for having red LEDs on the other side of the shades.

The possibilities are endless...although to be honest, I think these people need help more than anything else. Sad bastards.

#11  I think having a few Black Helicopters constantly buzzing the conference site might be amusing.

There remains one fully operational RAF Lancaster Bomber today. Usually brought out during important dates, like D-Day anniversary. So how about a fly-over this conference, and just for old times, dropping a 10,000-pound blockbuster?

#8  Only 1200? I would have thought there was 10 times that number of moonbats in California alone.

#6  Wow, all those different conspiracy theories in one room? Most mutually exclusive of each other. The nutbars must look around and realize that they cannot, possibly, ALL be right. Even they have got to see that. What they won't see is that while they can't all be right, they can all certainly be wrong.

The plethora convention. Yeesh.

#3  "Hundreds of smoking guns"
Actually, no guns were involved in the 9/11 radical Islamic attack tragedy.

Imagine being one of these conspiracy guys, and going there and bumping into endless alternate theories while fighting to advance your own theory. The thoughts go through your head (these jerks have no clue of what really happened) (but I know) (where was Rove on the evening of 9/10 ?) (that's the key) (Rove is the key) (why won't they listen to me) (what's that jerk eating, looks like vomit) (where's the men's room ?) (where's my wallet ?)
