This post at 911Blogger.com was pointed out by Pat over at the ScrewLooseChange Blog in this entry: Who is the best debunker?
This was posted by Nick Levis regarding an e-mail sent to people in the TM:
A questionaire was sent via e-mail and targeted (apparently) at members of the "Truth Movement". The questionaire itself can be found here under the heading "Feel free to vote down and collapse"
The questionaire: (in case it disappears from 911Blogger)
It seems just the appearance of this questionaire has created a bit of a stir and has brought forth the usual paranoid speculations about its purpose.
I am just wondering if this questionaire is the work of one of my fellow JREFers, especially because of question #72:
If so, great work!
(don't y'all go claiming credit at one time, though!)
ETA: For some reason, the trackback to Pat's original post at SLCBlogspot isn't working. My apologies.
ETA2: The link to Pat's post works now!
This was posted by Nick Levis regarding an e-mail sent to people in the TM:
http://911blogger.com/node/11967#comment-164737Today many of us received a long e-mail addressed to "Dear 9/11 Truth Movement Member," purporting to be from an anonymous "psychology student in the New York City area" (911survey@gmail.com). It asks for participation in a "9/11 Truth Movement Survey" consisting of 80 mostly multiple-choice questions that will eat up a good part of your day. Among its stated goals, the survey is aimed at finding out "Who the TM members are and how they gather and communicate information," "What attracts people to the TM," "Why they stay involved and become activists," and "Why they drop out."
I am urging everyone not to fill out this survey and not to forward it to anyone else - except perhaps as a warning - and in general, never to respond to anonymous requests for personal information.
