How did u find out

[THETRUTHWILLSETU3]

For every genuine truth seeker on this site, the one thing we would all agree is that we need to get the word out to the masses regarding 911.

There are over 1,000 on this site, I would be interested in seeing a statistical break down of how we all found out about 911. This may give us an insight into how to channel our efforts for the best results.

So I will start the ball rolling:

I was looking into the Apollo Hoax for over 12 months when one day I suddenly thought "if the US government would tell lies about such a major thing what else would they lie about?"

I then googled 911 conspiracy and found out.

So come on everybody - spill the beans - one liners will do

I was vaguely aware that there were people that claimed the US government was behind 911 but I didn't put much credence to it since there is a lot of strange stuff on the internet. It was about a year ago or so that I stumbled across a video of the WTC 1 and 2 collapses. I had not watched any 911 clips after the live footage of that day (I, like many people, was so horrified by the images of that day that I had no desire to re-live it) and none in slow motion. I hadn't even known about the collapse of WTC7 at that point. I was basically convinced that what I was seeing was CD, watching those videos. The more I looked into it, the more convinced I became that there were very serious questions reguarding many aspects of 911.

I believed what I saw, but I couldn't help wondering why no NORAD. That was the first inconceivable thing to me.

I knew the lynch mob was out when all 19 patsies were shown and named the very next day - far too quickly for my belief, and the Afghan invasion which shortly followed was obviously pre-planned (and foolhardy).

It was only after reading an article by Gore Vidal in 2003 that I realised that other people were thinking the same way.

When I stood up at the first meeting of the Bradford Stop the War and said the Feds done 9/11, in October 2001, I didn't have much support or evidence, though I gained a small applause from Muslims present. Things have changed a bit

I heard a lot of stories about 9/11 that I didn't want to believe but it wasn't until David Boyle grabbed me at NGG and gave me some "real" evidence that I decided to commit energy to this.

had a life as a left activist, so im no stranger to governmental opposition...then when i was looking for a Chomsky speech on kazaa in late 2002 someone had labelled a copy of '9/11 the road to tyranny' as a chomsky lecture i assume to get it out to a new audience.

certainly worked on me, a great surprise! and i was immediately thinking - 'i knew it!!!' the next year i was back at university following the study of politics as deep and dilligently as i could to attempt to prove what i believed.

For me it was Fahrenheit 9/11 and the relationship between the Bush's and the Saudis, the Carlyle Group. Then for some reason I came across Loose Change 2 and then this site.

I have my own 9/11 website up and running but it isn't quite there yet.

I found out a couple of months ago thanks to DOOS on this site - It didnt really sink in at first, then jesus did it sink in.... "taking the red pill" I think the "experience" is commonly referred to. Whats truly revealing to me now is I get the "whole" picture.... if our governments have been lying to us for decades about who they are (liars, murderers & criminals) and who they are supposed to represent - which isnt us (we, the people) - then what about all that other "stuff"....

1) I believe we DID make it to the moon - except we were never really told about what we really discovered out there.

2) The universe is teeming with advanced ET intelligent life - and has been for at least 2.3 TRILLION years (sorry Rummy hehe) No more cover-ups - no more DECEPTION...

3) We can and will save our planet from environmental catastrophe (global warming etc) once we can overthrow the "powers" who "apparently" CONTROL and DICTATE things around here.... hehe Its a human consciousness thing... all we want is to be FREE from idiots who hate us and keep telling us we have "enemies" and who are making us feel afraid. We want peace - no more fear.

Cheers

I'll post my version of how I came to realise shortly, but firstly want to say what a valuable exercise this is; we can use the experience it reveals to learn what to offer others to open their eyes.

Let's not lose this thread or let it get buried, but keep adding to it and learn from it.

There was another thread which asked the same question. I remember I put my story on that, but I can't find it now. It would be could if we could combine the two.

9-11 on TV looked like a hoax to me. But I put it on the "back burner" because I was dealing with chemtrails and phone masts at the time. I came to this forum via the UK 7/7 sites which I had recently started to peruse due to the faked 7/7 "terrorists outside the train station" picture.

As for public acceptance, I got a very pleasant surprise yesterday evening. A friend of the family's visited and she was banging on about remote controlled planes going into buildings that were obviously subsequently CD'd. I was absolutely delighted! She is in no way a CTist, so it shows "normal" people are starting to wake up.

I didn't know HOW they did it but I sussed on day one - controlled demolition, the most protected airspace in the world - that was enough! . I follow asian & middle east history a bit so had a good guess OBL would be blamed. I have listened to Jello Biafra for years so this was no real shock to me. The governments business is Murder and business is GOOD!

well, when i was watching it live on t.v. i thought it was quite strange, i saw it all live.

but about 6 months later someone sent me a video called pentagon strike. that was the thing that first got me interested and made me wanna do my own research

i thought 9/11 is so damn important, what if the general concencus of what happened on the day is actually wrong, what would be the implications....

i always did wondfer how 2 110 floor buildings can just come down. also the way the building hit last was the building that collapesd first.

and when i found out about building 7, everything started to smell fishy.

i have also never understood academias loathing of alternative views. it all seems to make sense now! lol

Read William Coopers Behold A Pale Horse in 2003 then the lies on Iraq and the WMD.

Got a broadband connection for the 1st time in May 2003. Following watching a BBC documentary about the Rendlesham Forest incident, I came across Steven Greer's Disclosure Project.

In researching Black Project and black budget operations (which is what disclosure project is attempting to break open), I came across an article in Nexus Magazine about State Sponsored Terrorism - it mentioned 9/11 and I must have googled something about a person or author mentioned and that eventually lead me, in about August 2004, to George Humphrey's film "9/11 The Great Illusion" which clearly pointed out the demolition of the WTC and how the Law of Falling Bodies can be used to prove explosives must've been used. I worked out my own proof of this in about 10 minutes and a couple of months later began to write letters.

Good thread. Thanks

I had already read loads of the usual stuff from Pilger to Icke, so I had my strong suspicions on the day. But as with most previous tales of conspiracies, I doubted the ability of 9/11 to go mainstream. Then I read Nafeez's book (War on Freedom) and saw Barry Zwicker's documentary and started coming across 9/11 stuff increasingly on email bulletins such as this one (www.earthrainbownetwork.com). It was only once these first books and videos came out that I started to recognise just how strong the case for 9/11 being an inside job was and the potential for 9/11 to go mainstream and short of crashing the internet how difficult it would be for the PTB to put the genie back in the bottle.

So my conclusion is that public awareness relies on 2 things

Creating a general buzz spread by viral marketting (internet, email, person to person, etc) together with really good quality accessible books and DVDs. With the advent of blogs and youtube, etc, it is getting easier and easier to spread the word, but I stress quality over quantity.

[color=blue]i think we need to have a more visible presence on society. we need to do things like put posters up at bus stops, spray paint on pavements bla bla, where people are alone in their thinking and hence have no external influence directing their decision making. all the stuff on 9/11 joe bloggs hears at the moment regarding to 9/11 conspiracy theories is all along the lines of...oooh and theyre aliens as well and oh yeah there were no planes just holograms.

we need to take the omen away from forcing them to learn into making them curious and wanting to learn (we all do not take kindly when the govt makes us do/believe something do we, so why is ur average bloke not going to be skeptical?).

This is where i think that clever guerilla marketing techniques could come in very useful. i have been thinking about this alot recently and think i could be the way forward[/color].

I'd already a lot of stuff about the general NWO kind of thing. I was actually living in Japan on 9/11 and had been wondering about a lot of Bush's proposals for military and spending and getting slightly concerned as it didn't appear to tally up with the direction everyone had assumed the Bush presidency, myself included had assumed it would go ie massive increases for military spending. Had spent quite a few boozy nights discussing these kind of things with some like minded friends out there and very quickly came to the conclusion it was a staged event. Everything I read in the papers over the coming days ie Hanjour's fighter plane like move to crash into the 'safe' section of the Pentagon, lack of response etc, only confirmed my initial conclusion.
