The 9/11 conspiracy theorist who changed his mind
Charlie Veitch was once one of Britain’s leading conspiracy theorists, a friend of David Icke and Alex Jones and a 9/11 'truther'. But when he had a change of heart, the threats began. He talks to Will Storr.

'The poster boy for a mad movement': Charlie Veitch Photo: Will Storr

On a June afternoon in the middle of New York’s Times Square, Charlie Veitch took out his phone, turned on the camera and began recording a statement about the 2001 destruction of the World Trade Center.
“I was a real firm believer in the conspiracy that it was a controlled demolition,” he started. “That it was not in any way as the official story explained. But, this universe is truly one of smoke screens, illusions and wrong paths. If you are presented with new evidence, take it on, even if it contradicts what you or your group want to believe. You have to give the truth the greatest respect, and I do.”
To most people, it doesn’t sound like a particularly outrageous statement to make. In fact, the rest of the video was almost banal in its observations; that the destruction of the towers may actually have been caused by the two 767 passenger jets that flew into them. But to those who subscribed to Veitch’s YouTube channel, a channel he set up to promulgate conspiracy theories like the one he was now rejecting, it was tantamount to heresy.
“You sell out piece of s---. Rot in hell, Veitch,” ran one comment beneath the video. “This man is a pawn,” said another. “Your [sic] a f---ing pathetic slave,” shrilled a third. “What got ya? Money?” So runs what passes for debate on the internet. Veitch had expected a few spiteful comments from the so-called “Truth Movement”. What he had not expected was the size or the sheer force of the attack.
In the days after he uploaded his video, entitled No Emotional Attachment to 9/11 Theories, Veitch was disowned by his friends, issued with death threats and falsely accused of child abuse in an email sent to 15,000 of his followers. “I went from being Jesus to the devil,” he says now. “Or maybe Judas. I thought the term ‘Truth Movement’ meant that there’d be some search for truth. I was wrong. I was the new Stalin. The poster boy for a mad movement.”

What did he expect? He deserts the cult of stupidity and gets maligned as a heretic for it. I, for one, applaud his newly found reasoning skills, but I'd expect no less from his former acolytes. Truthers aren't interested in the truth, they are merely a mob led by charlatans who use ridiculous hypotheses to justify their own irrational prejudices. It is heartening to see someone actually examine the evidence and come to a rational conclusion, as it is all too rare these days.

I would have been pleased to hear the truth from Bush and Cheneye both who refused to go under oath to the 911 commission.....

Hmmmmmm.... there must be a new job offer or other incentive.

You can't have it both ways

"All the worlds a stage",~William Shakespeare

I don't believe anything our government says nor their Media NOTHING!!! This Country stages everything...daily we are force fed their crap...pardon my language.

To say there is no reason to question the official story has been proven (in a way) to be a bit of a reach.

Here's just one example brought about by a matter as small as a TV license fine in the UK....

UK man wins court case against BBC for 911 cover up

http://topinfopost.com/2013/04/28/uk-man-wins-court-case-against-bbc-for-911-cover-up

Tony Rooke refused to pay a TV license fee because the BBC intentionally misrepresented facts about the 9/11 attacks, he alleged. It is widely known that the BBC reported the collapse of World

Trade Center Building 7 over 20 minutes before it occurred. WTC 7 was a 47-story skyscraper that was not hit by a plane on 9/11 but collapsed at free-fall speed later that day.

So Rooke said the BBC had to have had prior knowledge to a terror attack making them complicit in the attack. He presented the BBC footage to the judge along with a slew of other evidence, and the judge agreed that Rooke had a reasonable case to protest. Rooke was found not guilty and he was not fined for failure to pay the licensing fee.

and of Course,that Judge conclusively proved it was Bushey and his Merrymen who Dood IT?

I could care less about who.... but the building WAS still standing during the "LIVE" broadcast

you need to ask the Reporters about it!

yeah, that will be allowed to happen

BTW.... seen that $2.3T ole Rummy said the Pentagon was missing just 2 days before the attack that they were "going to investigate"?

Oh.... I forgot. The area of the Pentegon and the WTC One tower had all the "evidence" and investigators....

Never mind....

England is in a different time zone...

Enough evidence exists to raise questions without the shameless charge of "conspiracy theorists"
