I need to be convinced of this Gannon/Gosch thing [View All]

[WilliamPitt]

I apologize for starting another thread, but the two that are going have a combined 300 posts, and I fear my questions would get lost in the twelve shouting matches that have broken out.

I'll start right out and say I am not at all or in any way sold on this story. I think it's out there farther than the Oort Cloud. I'm not going to sit here and scold anyone by saying that flogging this story is 'bad for the cause' or anything, but right now I see this story as one of the side efects of the internet: The ability, by way of the massive amounts of disparate data involved, to make connections that do not actually exist.

Same stuff happens in the 9/11 Truth Movement. A few people see a photo of one of the planes with a shadow underneath its belly, and then see a flash of light at the nose of the plane as it makes contact with the building, and suddenly we have the theory (no, truth!) that the plane fired a missile into the building just before it hit.

Um...no. But guys like Wayne Madsen - whom I greatly respect as a researcher and theorist - make their living off doing this: Taking disparate strings that don't have anything to do with each other and wrapping them into a large yet incorrect rope.

Put it this way: I love Andy Stephenson like a brother, but I would not report on this story on truthout if you put a gun to my head.

So convince me, if you feel like it. I've read the threads and seen the comparison pictures, and they don't acount for the huge, whistling gaps in the story.
