Today's guest, John Bursill, an Australian 9/11 activist, begs to differ with some of the opinions expressed on those shows. John is known for his vociferous criticisms of
Pilots for 9/11 Truth, and he seems to be an unofficial member of the group Adam Syed mistrusts - sometimes characterized as the "9/11 thought police," the folks who are all boycotting each other because each one thinks "associating with" the others will damage his or her credibility! Personally, I agree with Craig McKee when he says
"the fight among truthers over how to stay credible has caused more problems than any 'crazy' theory has." I would go even farther, and say that anyone who boycotts any event because such-and-such a person or group will be there is either a disinformation agent being paid to stir up trouble, or utterly clueless about how PR and communications actually work, and how movements actually win or lose. Such a person automatically forfeits at least 75% of his or her credibility by being either dumb enough or ill-intentioned enough to engage in a boycott. (Any boycott targets, by contrast, automatically get double credibility points, for being important enough to draw fire from fools and wreckers.)
I'm sure John Bursill doesn't agree. So instead of boycotting him, I'm bringing him on for two hours to give him a hearing!
