How photos support your own "reality"

Why do 9/11 deniers see an alternative story in pictures of the attacks? Because we all interpret images according to our biases.

    I love how not one mainstream 9/11 truth claim is addressed

    I've been active in the 9/11 truth movement in Northern California for a couple of years, and I've never heard of Philip Jayhan. I've never heard of Conspiracy Con either, which, like Jayhan, the author informs us is in Northern California.

    And what's the first argument that this Jayhan is supposed to have given the author here? Why, he saw some flashing thing when one of the planes was about to crash. Whatever that's supposed to mean.

    Of course, people in the habit of going to something called, and something obscure as, Conspiracy Con are apt to be suspect.

    Let's get real for a minute. It took me years, as it did so many others, to catch on to how 9/11 was a false flag operation -- because my first inclination was to assume that those motivated to do this would've had too many obstacles to surmount to undertake and get away with something so audacious.

    But careful, duplicable research by many brave and brilliant scholars has shown that there's simply no way the official story can be true, and that, applying Occam's razor, a false flag operation makes far more sense than any alternative explanations so far offered up by anybody.

    And these important findings have been systematically excluded from the mainstream media, including Salon. Instead the public only ever hears about what occasional wackos and flakes have to say about 9/11, the better to discredit the search for 9/11 truth.
