From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you haven't already guessed, I'm a 9/11 researcher and work on the 9/11 pages. Do I have a neutral point of view on this issue? I do scientific research as a career, so I understand how science works. Saying that anything except a government version of an event is 'conspiracy theory' is not science or truth, but politics. The relevance of the 9/11 issue is that politics has thwarted science, the same way this has happened for many assassinations and events with polticial relevance. People who care deeply about truth and science are caught in a dilemma when fascism starts because those entrusted to tell the truth - the media - become mouthpieces for corporate and government agendas. A vicious cycle begins.

Please help stop the vicious cycle and stop labeling people with 'conspiracy theory' on wikipedia everytime someone is asking a question or presenting evidence that doesn't fit. Instead, present the facts as you understand them and help work towards consensus on descriptive terms when conflict arises.

As a side note, I regularly edit certain pages and don't always sign in -- these are not "sockpuppets," just my right to edit pages without having to pause to log in 10x a day. Anyone who looks at my edits for 5 minutes can see the other regular and ongoing addresses from which I make edits, so accusations of sockpuppetry are inherently false, as I'm openly stating here that this is what I do. I don't try to make up new personalities. I make the same edits from wherever I am.

Because there is an ongoing edit war to assign loud pejorative labels of "conspiracy theorist" -- like yellow stars -- to anyone questioning government versions of the events of 9/11, I have to make the same edits over and over again.

I recommend this excellent talk on the label of "conspiracy theories" by filmmaker John Albanese - http://boston911truth.org/dnld/03JohnAlbanese.mp3 (from An "Evening with Robert Bowman and John Albanese," Boston College - McGuinn Auditorium, 12/15/06)

His film is Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime (video link)
