There’s an article in today’s Huffington Post that features
a video of a lecture given by the legendary linguist Noam Chomsky. For some
reason, during the question & answer period, someone asked him about 9/11.
He then went on a tear denigrating 9/11 truthers and stating that there is
absolutely no evidence the Bush administration was involved. The money quote
from the article was, "There happen to be a lot of people around who spent
an hour on the Internet and think they know a lot of physics," he added,
"but it doesn't work like that ... There's a reason there are graduate
schools in these departments."
Funny thing is, Chomsky isn’t a physicist either. He doesn’t
know anymore about the science or physics of what happened on 9/11 than I do.
He is merely picking one group of physicists and engineers to believe over
another. I wrote this in the comments section of the article. What was
disturbing to me was the level of anger and vehemence you find from so many who
believe 9/11 happened just the way the commission said it did. There was name
calling and ad homonym attacks and ridicule. And I also find it interesting
that so many lefties, people who distrust the government on so many levels,
want to believe that everything happened just as the government said it did.
The corporate media has done a very good job of demonizing and
marginalizing those who oppose the government’s 9/11 position.
