‘Truthers’ as they are called, exist around the world. They believe that in one way or another, the U.S. government was involved in the 9-11 attacks. Can anything be done to quell this movement of people that question all of the best scientific evidence and experts of all kinds?
For the French newspaper La Depeche, Jean-Christophe Giesbert writes of the problem:
“Hitler still lives, Sheila is a man and concentration camps are an invention of the Jewish lobby. The attacks of September 11 are a manipulation by the Bush team. The rumors just go and go! The swell and propagate at the speed of light following one simple rule: The bigger it is the more people believe it. Seven years after the tragedy in New York, that which created a frenzy on the Net, today has millions of followers around the world who assure us – with “supporting evidence” – that the destruction of the Twin Towers cannot be attributed to al-Qaeda. Please don’t laugh.”

Hitler still lives, Sheila is a man and concentration camps are an invention of the Jewish lobby. The attacks of September 11 are a manipulation by the Bush team. The rumors just go and go! The swell and propagate at the speed of light following one simple rule: The bigger it is the more people believe it. Seven years after the tragedy in New York, that which created a frenzy on the Net, today has millions of followers around the world who assure us – with “supporting evidence” – that the destruction of the Twin Towers cannot be attributed to al-Qaeda. Please don’t laugh.
If you believe the conspiracy people – they call themselves Truthers – it was the White House who allegedly ordered the destruction of the World Trade Center with explosives to incriminate the Islamists and justify the invasion of Iraq. For some, the Boeings on which several hundred passengers were killed were actually military aircraft or remotely piloted drones; for others, the explosion of the Towers was a video trick. It’s so sad one could cry.
