240 is back, reflect upon your reactions to September 11 and subsequently discovering the attacks were probably government terrorism as opposed to Islamic; would it be fair to characterize each response as an over/knee-jerk reaction?
Alex Jones has a sensationalist delivery, many of the 911-truth movement arrive at seemingly absurd conclusions (IE holograms on planes, drones at the World Trade Centre) and there is a tendency to portray every news item as part of a life and death struggle no matter how mundane. These individuals are clearly suffering the same trauma as you were from your second reaction, and possibly intentionally manipulating information in the same way the ‘Neo Taints’ have.
Conversely, consider the work of responsible academics such as Steve Jones, Kevin Ryan and Jeff King or individuals such as Michael Ruppert and William Rodriguez who have put their lives on the line to bring information to light; are you not doing them a disservice by equating them with the likes Alex Jones? Moreover, in this context, could your recent revelation about the nature of 911-revisionism be the same as your previous over reactions?
Your enthusiasm has inspired many people and much discussion. I truly hope you do not throw that away over Alex Jones and Cadillac ads. Searching for the truth is a reward in and of itself 
I am still interested in the news and politics, but I am realizing that we are spending our days debating, using a set of information which is lies/propaganda/alarmist from ALL sides.
It seems like an outright waste of time to argue when both sides are stretching things. 911 will come out in 10 to 15 years slowly like it is, everyone will know, the media will dance around it like they do JFK... but the fact that 911 (what they considered inevitable and figured they'd rather LET it happen when it could be 4 planes and a poor middle east, instead of in ten years against suitcase nukes and a stronger middle east).
In other words, this is equivalent to packing a gun and walking at the edge of your neighbor's yard so his dog can bite you, so you can legally shoot it. Why? Cause you know it's gonna have babies soon, and you'll soon have ten very big dogs there, and they might bite your kids. Why not take a 'manageable, controlled' hit when you're ready, and snuff out the problem early? If they realistically believed the mid east would, in another generation, learn to USE the oil they have, then shit, they're a force to be reckoned with. Globalization - their saudi and iraqi youth using the web and getting educations on par with ours for the first time - another generation and they would have capitalized upon the resource they had previously ignored. Their new alliance with RUS and CHI shows they have plenty of ppl to sell to, NOT called the USA.
So I support taking their shit. period. and in a util sense, it makes sense to take the small hit while the enemy is weak, so you can kill him, than to wait until he is rich and you take ten hits and you can't do shit back. And I feel like a hypocrite when arguing it. Cause I want the US to manage their oil. I wouldn't advocate handing over that oil to the next generation of pricks over there - I want MY country to have it.
neotaints = bad because they are dishonest. mm69 said today he hadn't looked at the 911 commission report. yet the kid will spend hours here telling us it's not an inside job? he's sadly unprepared for the argument, as I've read it and read the counter-report where every conflict is pointed out. but to spend hours teaching him - why? He cannot accept it, and never will, even if Rummy made a deathbed confession with blueprints. he'd just give us another reason why it's crazy. He's not mentally capable of understanding the necessity of a psyop to justify actions needed to pre-emptively take out a future competitive force. There are 5 folks here like him - who ignore obvious facts because 'other countries would self-attack, but not us!". They are children. They cannot understand my advices.
libs = bad because they are unrealistic. You want to end the war? Okay. Tell us how we're going to compete with China, tell us what to do about an impending oil crisis, tell us what to do when the CHI/IRAN/CHI alliance bends us over in 3 years. They can't. They want to do the right thing, but dont know/care/face it will affect their quality of life greatly in the coming decades.
My take is that we were up shit creek (in terms of future trend) and we knew this 15 years ago, and we're acting now to stop it. We'll succeed to some degree with the pipelines and maybe incursions on iran - or maybe iran will just give in and give haliburton the contracts so we don't blow up their civvie infrastructure and de-power them, who knows. We're doing the dirt first to put off a recession or worse.
So I can't bitch about it anymore. I support the goals of this war. I'm a POS for saying it, but I admit it.
