I've just posted the following to my blog: http://wp.me/pSXPz-uW

The tone is snarky, but I very much want input on making the content as close to the horrifyingly stupid reality as possible. How would you modify the chart, if at all, to add to the rich tapestry of numbskullery it portrays?

Be merciless. Or at least realistice.
 
You need to kick it over to the left a bit - the text on the right is behind links and whatnot.

There are also some that believe that planes did hit the towers, yet it was still controlled demolition. How the explosives survived is anybody's guess.

That snarky part...it's simply unacceptable to me. The JREF and particularly myself, hold the highest standards of politeness to our 9/11 Truther friends.

Anyway, I'm going to suggest that you have the names of individuals in there somewhere, like Judy Wood and Stevie Jones. That would entail different types of CDs, like the thermite CD or the explosives CD. You might also have a mixed model that relies of the question, "How much explosives were used?" and if it's only a little, then lead to the thermite CD...

Another suggestion is that you might want to link this in with who did. I see you have Mossad in there, but you might want to include the NWO or the reptilian overlords. This could lead to some sort of connect with other conspiracy beliefs.

That last point could be interesting. You could start off with 9/11 and then for the real crazies, have it take them to chemtrails, vaccination and the global depopulation. Just an idea that could illustrate how volumous it all really is.

Ooh- thanks for spotting that. Didn't preview it.

Forgot about that hybrid of stupid and stupid. Will have to figure out how to account for that.

Yeah, I've been mulling over how expansive to make this. Still haven't decided. There are space constraints, too. But thank you - this is good stuff.

"Controlled demolition" needs more connections. Most believe the planes hit but CD was still needed (even the anti-Semites).

"More connections" for just about everything. You need to emphasize exactly how convoluted these things are, with often mutually opposed claims arising out of the same set of facts.

Like, "There's no way these massive steel columns could have fallen straight down through the path of greatest resistance, but there's also no way these massive steel columns could have been flung hundreds of feet away."
 
It really only needs one.

"Are you a "Truther"

Yes _________________________ No

You're and idiot. ________________ You're not an idiot.


Simple really.
 
Somehow you need to incorporate Building 7 and the Evil (yes, with a capital E) Jew Larry Silverstein. Remember, this is what brings in truthers by the dozen. It was the building that collapsed and killed so many, remember?

Thank you all - this is exactly what I'm looking for. Keep it coming, please.

You're going to need a much bigger page. You do know there are hundreds of different "flavors" of "truth"? You haven't even touched the "Shanksville" or "Pentagon" groups. (or space beams, nukes, subterranean reptiles, .................................)

Would there be a way to mix in all the different versions of therm..whatever the hell? If REALLY over zealous maybe something along the lines of everything it can do in it's varying states.
 
Theoretically I can make the chart as big as I want, but I'd like to fit as much information into a screen or two as I possibly can. So the REALLY far-out stuff, such as space beams, reptiles and whatnot, will have to wait for some other occasion.

I'd like to substantially improve the graphic within the next day. If there's something you're positively burning to say on the subject (heated by jet fuel, natch), please do so ASAP.

Because like the conspiracy theorists' minds, the chart format can only accommodate a certain amount of data before everything gets unwieldy and complicated, requiring oversimplification that necessarily distorts. Except that the chart's distortion is far closer to reality than the CT mentality.
