9/11 Truther Vows Not To Rest Until Everyone Knows He An Asshole

MANCHESTER, NH—Claiming that the evidence is in plain sight for those who want to see it, local man and passionate 9/11 Truth movement supporter Victor Sidwell, 32, told reporters Wednesday that he will not rest until everyone knows that he is a complete asshole.

The zealous Truther, who for more than 10 years has reportedly labored to shed light on the fact that he is an obnoxious blowhard seemingly incapable of keeping his fucking mouth shut, vowed to continue lecturing acquaintances, confronting strangers, and handing out pamphlets on the street in an effort to convince as many people as possible that he’s an absolute and utter prick.

“Ever since the so-called terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, I’ve only had one goal in mind: making people realize that I’m a piece of shit,” said Sidwell while posting a lengthy list of inconsistencies in the 9/11 Commission Report on a friend’s Facebook timeline. “If you take even a cursory look at the available information, it becomes glaringly obvious that I’m an abrasive jackass who routinely drowns out anyone unfortunate enough to get locked into a discussion with me.”

“The proof is right there,” he continued. “I’m a repugnant, grating fuck, and I won’t stop until every single person knows it.”

Sidwell has reportedly gone to great lengths to publicize his position as an insufferable loudmouth by diverting every one of his conversations toward the melting point of structural steel, repeatedly calling in to talk radio shows to express his controversial beliefs as to what “really happened” on Flight 93, and placing “What Did Cheney Know?” stickers in bathrooms of numerous local businesses.

Speaking with reporters, the staunch proponent of the “controlled demolition” 9/11 conspiracy theory conceded that it is not always easy making those around him recognize that he is an unapologetic bastard who needs to shut the fuck up and get a life. Sidwell affirmed that, in spite of the challenges, he remains determined to “give a wake-up call” regarding his supreme dickishness to everyone he meets by forcibly engaging them in debates in office break rooms, personal residences, bars, internet message boards, and grocery store checkout lines.

According to the Truther, most of the public remains “trapped inside a bubble” in which they ignorantly perceive him as a rational, well-adjusted member of society. However, he claimed he is making notable progress in convincing more and more of them of the “cold, hard reality” every time he loudly interrupts a friend’s conversation in order to voice his suspicions concerning the whereabouts of the hijacked airliners’ missing black boxes.

“Even though it’s clear that I’m an irritating dipshit, it sometimes takes people a while before they’re willing to take off the blinders and come to their senses,” said Sidwell, who on a regular basis forwards lengthy chain emails containing unsourced accounts of missiles striking the Pentagon to everyone in his address book. “But when you look at the objective facts, a clear picture begins to emerge: I have a compulsive need to engage in arguments in order to assert my intellectual superiority. I am in love with the sound of my own voice. I am not a good person.”

“The more I reach out to others, the more apparent all of that becomes,” Sidwell added.

Having spent years disrupting city council meetings and leaving inflammatory comments on every single YouTube video he watches regardless of its content, sources predicted that it would not be long before Sidwell succeeded in his longtime goal of proving to the world that he is indeed a first-class shitheel.

In fact, numerous sources close to Sidwell acknowledged that he has already succeeded in alerting them to the accuracy of his endless, obsessive claims that he is a jerkoff, with many of these individuals telling reporters that they now wonder how they could have ever doubted him.

I want to talk about your extremism for keeping people disarmed even though you believe the government will capriciously murder them in the name of fabricating a cause for aggressive war. Why do you oppose the 2nd Amendment?

Back in the day comparisons to the Reichstag were everywhere. Coincidentally, the fascists were very keen on keeping select groups disarmed. Hmmmmm...if I was the sort of girl that went in for conspiracy theories I might start to worry about you.

Or maybe you just have these scattered beliefs and suddenly those beliefs can't be reconciled with each other so you are relying on the ol' "If you don't know there's no point in explaining" dodge.

The more correct you are in your belief the more relevant my question becomes. My question assumes you are 100% correct. My question assumes your every assertion about 9/11 is true beyond challenge.

So why do you want to keep people disarmed when their government is willing to slaughter them?

I'll never forget how right after 911 they were finding tiny slivers of human bone on the roof of the Deutsche Bank building. Now how in the hell does something like that happen without the involvement of explosives?

I hear you on your other points as well. And now we have a never-ending war against an unseen, indefinable "enemy" that has brought unfathomable suffering to countless people. There is absolutely nothing these psychopaths wouldn't do.

A crew of demolition workers discovered 74 bone fragments near the World Trade Center site over the weekend, the largest number of remains found since the end of recovery operations nearly three years ago and a sign that significant quantities of human remains may have gone unnoticed in sporadic searches over the years.

Most of the fragments were found mixed among roof ballast — gravel — that had been raked to the perimeters of the roof of the condemned Deutsche Bank building, officials said. The building, at 130 Liberty Street, stands just south of where the twin towers once loomed, and intensive work began there last month to prepare for its demolition.

The towers rose nearly 800 feet above the roof of the building, which was showered with debris and remains on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. Because of extensive damage and contamination, the structure was deemed a total loss, but its demolition has been delayed by legal wrangling and concerns about environmental hazards.


What do you think was in that cloud of debris that covered NY?

If a building is collapsing due to gravitational force, bodies inside are going to be crushed. For a human body to be turned into tiny fragments and ejected some distance, that suggests explosives.

The forces involved in thousands of tonnes of concrete and steel collapsing are quite sufficient to pulverise the estimated 2000 unfortunate people still trapped inside into tiny fragments. The displacement of the air column inside the building was sufficient to cause wide dispersal of particles. It's quite visible if you watch any video footage of the collapse.

50. From my view the picture of Bush
Thu Feb 20, 2014, 09:38 AM
Feb 2014

From my view the picture of Bush sitting at a grade school class room in a contemplating way as a first responder is an extraordinary give away. Bush was told a major security issues just happened. A plane with all passengers just crashed into one of the towers. That one tower suspected to be a major economic cog in bond trading. Where his brother is director of the insurance company of that building, this is documented in Gerald Posners book secrets of the kingdom. It gets creepier.

Then probably expecting to hear the news of the second plane crash to finish the deal then strikes minutes later then finally Bush reacts leaving the school. There is something definately wrong with that picture. Thinking as a first responder, I would want to have an immediate action. No sitting around for the second plane to hit. I admit it is my intuition that Bush knew what was happing way before the planes hit. Sitting there was like holding the door for the terrorist.

Another curiosity is the scrap from the tower destruction collected in huge containers from what has been little talked about are the fact those containers have been shipped to China for processing to refine the material to build an Air craft carrier.

Why not have America patriotic business or domestic entities have the opportunity to salvage recycling the building product. Perhaps recycling the domestic environment risked exposure of the crime in treason.

The Chinese being deft in ways of American politics very likely have sifted through and isolated very damaging forensics to condemn a government media cover up. The Bush one percent group Romney included deliver upon request any or all Walmart-able consumer goods in trade or treaty gifts to keep quiet as a bargaining chip. All very well by the one percent profiteers legally elected pirates. Our new trade policy, blow up our citizens and pay the world to keep silent. The perfect Bin laden plan
