Your place or mine? Do I bring my own vino? - seriously ball in your court to pick time and place.
It would be fun. Next time I'm in NSW, I'll PM you. (TBH, I'm more than a little troubled by the recent levels of hysteria regarding the siege in Sydney)
Without over emphasising the trivial nonsense that is most of the "discussion" here - I have no doubt that the CD at WTC, not that plane at Pentagon and Shanksville shoot down style claims are counter productive for genuine truth movement concerns. HOW much effect they have is a different issue.
Indeed, Chomsky may be 'inflating' the level of distraction by suggestion, and these ideas remain in the realm of the fringe without emerging in daily life as much as he would have us believe.
The saddest reflection on "their" level of thinking is that "they" don't even comprehend the problem with their own tactics/strategies.
It certainly needs a (I hate this word) 'makeover'. There were, and are genuine concerns about how the Bush administration handled, and responded to the situation, and these are far more worthy of action than crazy talk of CD. I am stunned that adults can believe that story, but people do while there are genuine concerns in others areas crying out for examination.
Sure - but it is even more fundamental than 'style'. They simply cannot state clearly what their concerns are OR present a politically persuasive approach to progressing them. The "style" aspects are one part of that more fundamental set of issues.
Indeed, my tongue was slightly in my cheek with that statement, but I agree. The points they raise are so nebulous one cannot comprehend what methods they would employ to realise their goals. I mean, they do not have any credible evidence that could initiate hearings, nor can they make a link to any individuals for prosecution.
