He claims 2,300 architects have joined his organization. The American Institute of Architects, to which Gage belongs, claims 83,000 members. If we compare Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth's worldwide membership to just the AIA, only about one out of forty Architects thinks enough of Gage's theories to back them with membership in his organization. If we compare the number of architects in his organization to the number of architects worldwide, I imagine that number looks even more anemic. I guess I understand how it happens, but it still mildly baffles me that someone can look at a situation where 38/39 professionals in a large field think he's wrong, and just say to himself, "How can they be so blind?"

This is like those reports from wherever the gently caress that the terrorists referred to the attack as the "Porsche" beforehand, like they'd call each other and say (in English of course) "the Porsche is about to start". As though they would use American-style date formats, month-first. Or as though they would think of the date as being the important thing about it and the name everyone would come to associate with it, rather than "Operation Destroy the Great Satan's Twin Middle Fingers" or whatever they probably called it. We were equally likely to be calling it Black Tuesday or whatever, years down the line.


It's so transparent as to be maddening—people live with a phrase like "Nine Eleven" for so many years, it becomes obvious to them in retrospect that that was always somehow predestined to be a significant component in the event, and then suddenly everything in the world with nines and elevens and other iconography that has become familiar to us over the years (like the shape of the billowing smoke) seems retroactively to be full of significance.

I feel for the guy who's trutherism comes from losing his son, but that doesn't excuse him from going into denial and throwing himself into self deluded truthers. Thing is if the government did do a second 9/11 investigation, it still wouldn't be good enough, because the Truthers have these fictions in their heads and anything short of their own personal theories would be lies.

"Compu*" appears 32 times in the list, "software" 14 times, "information" 5 times. So not too many, though some seem to just have degrees in IT or computer science. Others don't have any qualifications or positions listed, just a name and location.

There is probably a false flag conspiracy being run by some government agency. It would be cheap, a couple of agents and an internet connection and your good to go. Every time something bad happens they come out and push the false flag theory. At first it's all them through sock puppets but pretty soon the community picks it up and it becomes self sustaining. The goal is simple, an easy psychological control on groups that would be inspired to action by a lone actor. Can't have a revolution or a rahowa if everybody thinks that the call to action is a government fake.

9:57 = 9 - 5 + 7 = 11

9:57 = 21:57 = 21 + 5 + 7 = 33. 3 x 3 = 9, and 33 = 11 + 11 + 11
9:57 = 21 + 57 = 78. What comes after seven and eight? Nine. Nine... ELEVEN?
9:57 = I (9th letter) E (5th letter) G (7th letter). IEG is, of course, the Independent Evaluation Group of the World Bank. Clear reference to globalist financier involvement in 9/11? Not only that, IEG is the international airport code for an airport in Poland. Poland was also the victim of a horrific air travel "accident" recently. Coincidence?

Maybe, although the NSA and their Anglosphere partners do record everyones emails, their phone conversations and their browsing history [1], the military has contracted PR services to create socketpoppets on social media netorks in the middle east for spreading public diplomancy [2], which is also legal for them to do in the US [3] and if you've gone to 4chan in the last two years or so, some users find the majority of the postings are automated repeats [4], but otherwise you're right, no government agency cares enough about a growing minority of kooks to be proactive about them [].

It's a classic conspiracy theorist thing to do. Take something real that is generally accepted by any half well informed person as evidence for their absurd beliefs. Governments collect data and spy on everyone they can so of course Bigfoot shot JFK. Governments have propaganda departments they use to muddy the water and create good press which means the moon is clearly hollow and full of shape shifting reptilians.

Like for the past 7 years, 4chan has had a board called /r9k/ which was created because the rest of the site is full of straight up reposts. The "robot" of "robot 9000" is a script that works to detect if anything posted is a repost, and if it is, to delete it upon posting and place progressively increasing bans on the poster as punishment.

The idea that reposts only became a problem in the past 2 years is to basically say you were too stupid to notice them.

This is good but you really need to add the extra layer of exoticism and anti-semitism by translating your numbers into the Hebrew alphabet. First off, letters and numbers are the same thing there, so it makes sense (nobody really thinks of "A" as "1" but "א" is totally "1" . . . you can use Gematria with the Latin alphabet but it's a total scrub move). You'd have to play with it a little bit to figure out how to bring it back to the Illuminati as you've done here but I'm confident that it can be done.

Scrub move? Someone hasn't heard that each word in Simple English Gematria adds up to 74 - much like "Jesus," "Heavens," "It's God," and even a description of the system itself, "A-B-C becomes 1-2-3." Self-reflexively proven.
