Why the Web Makes Us Better

There's a fine line between conspiracy theorists and reality. The web is a great place both because it gives the looneys a place to scream and shout about, well, whatever...and it also gives people with very rational and researched thought a place to explain themselves, and immediately link to supporting research to prove what they say...and on many sites, they have comments sections to create back and forth communication (and hold a lot of v1agra adds.) Anyway, 1115.org was one of my inspirations to start this site. Our goals are very different, I'm a little more on the screw off tip, but Matt and Jason work really hard (with the help of others) doing a lot of research before they make statements about their beliefs. It’s a really great place to go and cut through a lot of political double-speak to get facts so you can get a better understanding of what's going on. They spend alo of time picking up certain stories that are sort of leading indicator bits, rather tahn rallying around the OMG-WTF-happened-format of the general media. I can tell you, as I know Jason personally, that these guys are absolutely the farthest thing from a jingoists as they come. When these guys talk about something, they've earned my ear b/c I know they know their shit.

These guys have been doing a lot of work to get out the word of Peter Lance. It's not something they just picked up overnight; it's a cause they've been championing for over half-a-year...which in blog years makes them about 22 years old. This guy has a very different side to the 9/11 story. Trust me, I know how people cringe when the subject of 9/11 is brought up. It's fraught with heavy speculation, and it's an extremely beaten horse. However, Do yourself a favor and just check out their article on Peter Lance today...and if you're interested further, maybe pick up his book.
