When all else fails, Pugliese resorts to fabrication, e.g.: "like say Jack Blum who you call a CIA dupe." I have never referred to Jack Blum as a CIA dupe.

C'mon we all read primary, secondary and tertiary source material, we simply interpret their significance differently. And Bensky has openly admitted not having read much if any 9-11 research, since he considers it all to be 'recreational speculation'.

..and its good to know that you can conspiracize with the best of them. Obviously the issue is not 'conspiracy theory' but a question of determining which discourses are 'permissive' and which ones are not. In other words, all you are saying is that some conspiracy theories are more equal than others.
