p. 6 - ‘For conspiracists of any stripe, the “accepted” version of events is never acceptable. Events are never as they seem; the real explanation always lies hidden in the shadows. Conspiracy theorists take actual facts,or sometimes grains of truth,then exaggerate and manipulate them into propaganda useful for scapegoating particular groups.’

p. 10 - ‘Many of these theories refer to incidents that have a kernel of truth,or were reported by the mainstream press, or were simply misunderstood but were seized as “proof” that the theories are true. An initially erroneous news report later corrected becomes a “true story” that was later “covered up.” Moreover,virtually any unexplained or contradictory aspect of an event can be used as “evidence.”’
(Errant data)
p. 22 - ‘The Israeli press reported that Zim Israel Navigation Company moved out of its offices on the WTC two weeks before the 9/11 attacks,and employees of the company said afterwards they felt lucky to have escaped the disaster. Employees at Odigo’s Israel office did receive e-mail messages on 9/11 warning of an impending attack but the messages were vague and made no references to the World Trade Center or the Pentagon. Nor were the employees familiar with the sender of the e-mails. Odigo passed the information on to Israeli authorities and the FBI,which investigated the messages (their origin was never explained). Nonetheless,other far-right publications,including Media Bypass, cited the circumstances of these two companies as evidence of Israel’s fore-knowledge of the 9/11 attacks.’
