A member of the 9/11 commission has broken his silence about some of the unreleased findings:

A former Republican member of the 9/11 commission, breaking dramatically with the commission's leaders, said Wednesday he believes there was clear evidence that Saudi government employees were part of a support network for the 9/11 hijackers and that the Obama administration should move quickly to declassify a long-secret congressional report on Saudi ties to the 2001 terrorist attack.

The comments by John F Lehman, an investment banker in New York who was Navy secretary in the Reagan administration, signal the first serious public split among the 10 commissioners since they issued a 2004 final report that was largely read as an exoneration of Saudi Arabia, which was home to 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11.

    Yeah ok a shill, but a shill of what exactly?
    I keep getting called, agent, shill, denier etc, every time I post an opinion that is contrary to your internal narrative, which frankly seems to be some sort of stereotype about geek culture perhaps from watching too much CSI or NCIS.

    This despite the fact that I don't make a single claim without providing support. Proof that doesn't rely on some conspiratorial tinfoil hat shit.
    So who am I shilling for now? What could my motivation possibly be?

    Occam's razor, all other things being equal, the simplest answer is usually correct.

    Frankly it makes sense that you are mentally ill (why else chase me through an obscure news site and call me random as crap names) while posting AC no less as though that would hide you from someone of even moderate intelligence at all.

    The other possibility is that you are not mentally ill, but instead have an agenda and you are trying to push that agenda onto others by the 4D method. Distract, divide, discredit, dissolve. It certainly fits the profile of your anti-semitic gibberish from the other day anyways.

    That would be hilarious because it's a strategy taken directly from the FBI field manual section on infiltration of tight knight groups, but you don't seem to hold an IQ sufficient for government employment at even the mailroom level. I certainly hope no one would let you near a badge and a gun. Which would mean you're not an agent, but perhaps a rent-a-cop with delusions of grandure.

    Also I'd venture a guess here and say soylent doesn't qualify as a tightknight group. The level of opinion here is way too diverse and there is no echo chamber.
    Nevertheless we're kidding ourselves if we believe that posting here won't get us onto some sort of watchlist.

    I think the real problem is that you are paranoid and delusional and see enemies whenever there is anyone who disagrees with your opinion.

    Point of fact, my own postings aren't even 100% consistent on ANY topic, ergo I have no agenda.
    That's the nice thing about a discussion forum with other intelligent people.
    I can see where I made a mistake and use that information to improve my thinking process going forward.

    To address specifically the topic change. I addressed the topic. Even found out I was wrong in my belief about them all being Saudi students. Then the poster above me asked a question. The question was whether or not being an American in a foreign country makes it more likely that you are involved in something untoward in that country. What I showed was a historical argument that yes. If you are an american abroad you likely work for the govt, and then US govt has made a habit of pissing in the world's cheerios.

    The guy above me changed the subject, I just gave an answer. The simplest and most direct one I could think of. I'm sure there are plenty of other examples.
    So Mr AC, what would your answer be and how would you support your claim?

    Nope, you're clearly a shill devlux. The Rothschilds just paid you to write those scifi novels and that descentralised vote varification whitepaper so that you'd appear less shillish now, but thankfully a brave young Anonymous Coward has seen through your shillish shillery. By his light, we can finally see the shadow of your shillfulness!

    devlux is a shill. Never forget.
