Escaping the Rabbit Hole: How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories Using Facts, Logic, and Respect

by Mick West

RT, the Russian propaganda outlet, has published many articles and done many interviews on the topic of 9/11 Truth and other conspiracy theories, providing outlets with wide reach to Truthers like Richard Gage and Jesse Ventura: 10 March 2010, RT: “Americans continue to fight for 9/11 Truth.”3 Richard Gage is the founder of ‘Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth,’ which consists of more than 1,100 professionals who say it was not planes that caused three buildings to collapse at the World Trade Center. “The buildings were demolished by explosives. More than one thousand architects and engineers are demanding Congress launch a new subpoena powered investigation considering our evidence.” 10 March 2010, Jesse Ventura on RT: “For some, the search for what happened on 9/11 isn’t over.”4 I did work four years as part of the Navy’s underwater demolition teams, where we were trained to blow things to hell and high water. And my staff talked at some length with a prominent physicist, Steven E. Jones, who says that a “gravity driven collapse,” without demolition charges, defies the laws of physics.
